Novell and Microsoft Collaborate
Linux is doomed? Microsoft buries Vista? The beginning of the new era? Well, personally, I thought that Microsoft will go hugs-n-kisses with Ubuntu, but seems that SUSE has a better backbone in face of Novell. It had to happen at some point...

Recently Amit Mendelson has reminded me about Gizmo Project, which is a VoIP project with PSTN gateways by Sipphone behind.
I discovered them when there was a boom of their "Free PSTN calls" promotions and wasn't impressed much neither by the deal neither by the software. But I checked to day again and noticed that a lot has changed. I have bought $10 traffic and will see how it works. I'd really want to drop skype in favor of Gizmo, mostly because of "religious" reasons and also Sipphone rates are a way cheaper.

Religious reasons are simple, it does not have this aggressive marketing of Skype/Ebay/(FON now?) that drives me mad, the protocol is open so you can use it with any device/software you want and their Linux client version works.

So anyone who wants to give it a try, I am "gfdsaorg" there.

I always wonder, why this kind of article never makes it to the first pages. And why people prefer to ignore it? Does it take some Stefano Vitta to have all the email stolen and his personal photo albums to get to flicker?
