Dinamarca exige estándares abiertos

El pasado viernes 2 de junio del 2006, el Parlamento de Dinamarca aprobó por unanimidad la resolución B103 por la que ordena a su Gobierno que, a partir del 1 de enero del 2008, o incluso antes, haga obligatorio el uso de estándares abiertos en informática en la administración pública danesa.

De la resolución se pueden extraer los siguientes párrafos de interés:

• El Parlamento ordena al Gobierno asegurar que el uso de la tecnología de la información, incluyendo el software, en el ámbito de las autoridades públicas se base en estándares abiertos.
• No más tarde del 1 de enero del 2008, el Gobierno deberá introducir y mantener un juego de estándares abiertos que puedan servir de inspiración para otras autoridades públicas. Por lo tanto, los estándares abiertos deberán ser parte de la base para el desarrollo y compra de software de T.I. de las autoridades públicas, con el ánimo de impulsar la competitividad.
• El Gobierno deberá asegurar que toda la información y datos digitales que las autoridades públicas intercambien con los ciudadanos, corporaciones e instituciones esté disponible en formatos basados en estándares abiertos.

Boot Camp

Apple MacOS X

now, thousands of cubicle workers around the globe can say, "Yes, I can run Windows on my MacBook Pro. I won't be needing that Dell machine you ordered for me to run the one bit of proprietary Windows-based software that has shackled our company to an expensive spyware and virus-riddled platform for far too long."

what won't work in Windows on your Intel Mac:
* iSight
* Apple Remote
* Apple USB modem
* keyboard backlighting on the MacBook Pro

EFI and BIOS - Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.

Blogging the switch to Mac OS X

I found another one of those 'switcher blogs' and I thought it might make an interesting read for both Mac newbies and power users. I honestly can't find any information on the author, but My Journey to Macintosh provides up some interesting switcher experiences, such as loading up Firefox just because that's what the author used on Windows, then discovering that other browsers like Camino offer a far more Mac OS X-like experience, in part because Camino isn't butt-ugly and it uses the Keychain.

One thing I like about this blog is that the author seems to be a power user, of sorts; while some posts are about discovering the wonders of working with PDFs on a Mac without the need  for Adobe's (fat, bloated, clunky, slow and horrible) Reader, another post laments some hangups in getting PHP and MySQL working. In other words: there's something for everyone!

There isn't a virtual library of posts yet, but I thought it might be an interesting switcher blog to watch because of both the variety of topics the author has touched on so far, and an About section that reads: "Microsoft Windows user since Windows 3.0 moves to a Mac and Mac OS/X Tiger. Watch the process, good and bad :)." See? Fair and balanced, too. Enjoy.
