[nycbug-talk] FreeBSD in NY Times (Friday)

Didn't get a chance to write this yesterday,
but FreeBSD was mentioned in the Times on Friday, Oct, 21.

Thomas Friedman's column 'Chinese Finding Their Voice'
mentions how voices in China are now finding an expression
through a website (Toodou.com) with podcasts and blogs.

  "Almost  all of the software that runs
  Toodou.com is from free open-source material on the Web:
  an Apache Web server; FreeBSD, a free Unix operating
  system; MySQL, a free database system; and POHP, free
  programming lingo."


Friedman is a pretty forward looking guy- check out his
book - 'The World is Flat'  about the changes in 
business, technology and social structures.


Full disclosure- I have no connection to the NY Times or
to Thomas Friedman; just a fan.

Best Regards,
Jim B.
