FOR OPEN MAGAZINE SUBSCRIBERS

Just as rap bubbles up from the city streets to Madison Avenue, 
knapsack
IT humor bubbles over to Open's edit tank. This week we ponder an IT
sobriquet that has become a real social complaint: Having a Salmon Day.
Is the sudden popularity of this quip poetic justice for dopes who
bought into dreams of the yellow brick Superhighway? Or does Digital
Europe's focus on finding synergies between the digital economy and
sustainable development point to the real future? 

No less focused on software chokeholds, Franco Vitaliano looks at
Lindows and backgrounds the battle. Studying the rules of the game in
Monopoly and those at Microsoft, he concludes that neither will teach
much in Capitalism 101.
