The Access Linux Platform has finally been demoed at the 3GSM conference. Edited highlights include: Running Palm OS binaries (including OS5), a full Java virtual machine, and the ability to run GTK applications (should make porting the Nokia 770 work easy). More detail & screenshots below the fold.
This is a recent exchange of mails between CentOS, a RedHat derived GNU/Linux distro, and this man. I am afraid for humanity.

So. Google really is going to lauch a calendar. I suspected it when calendar.google.com started to route to the main page, and noted that a googlebot kept grabbing my online iCal file. The beta is apparently going on with around 200 people, and the pics have now been leaked.
The leaked pics follow….
Some most amusing legal documents have emerged in the ongoing lawsuit between Google and Microsoft over Google’s hiring of Kai-Fu Lee. Possibly the most illuminating thing is the “Declaration of Mark Lucovsky” in the case. Lucovsky was a distinguished engineer at Microsoft who defected to Google in November of 2004. His statement makes for some pretty surprising reading, to say the least.
The statement reads in part:
Prior to joining Google, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer to discuss my planned departure….At some point in the conversation Mr. Ballmer said: “Just tell me it’s not Google.” I told him it was Google.
At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: “Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I’m going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fucking kill Google.” ….
Thereafter, Mr. Ballmer resumed trying to persuade me to stay….Among other things, Mr. Ballmer told me that “Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.”
Steve Balmer. What a CEO. What a man.
