- Oracle's Larry Ellison Expects Greater Innovation From Sector WSJ 8 April 2003 Mr. Ellison, sounding like a modern-day Cassandra, paints a dark vision of the computer industry's future: increasingly standardized products with little distinguishing technology and thin profit margins. Sweeping consolidation, prompting the death of 1,000 tech companies. Fewer start-ups. And a handful of category-dominating winners, which will control innovation. - http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB104976174494753800-search,00.html?collection=wsjie%2F30day&vql_string=larry%2bellison%3Cin%3E%28article%2Dbody%29

- Code, Culture and Cash: The Fading Altruism of Open Source Develoopment by David Lancashire The nexus of open source development appears to have shifted to Europe over the last ten years. This paper explains why this trend undermines cultural arguments about "hacker ethics" and "post-scarcity" gift economies. It suggests that classical economic theory offers a more succinct explanation for the peculiar international distribution of open source development: hacking rises and falls inversely to its opportunity cost. This finding throws doubt on the Schumpeterian assumption that the efficiency of industrial systems can be measured without reference to the social institutions that bind them. http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue6_12/lancashire/index.html
