Future trends in today's news.

Back to a slightly earlier thread where I (and others) speculated on some of the forces that open source encounters. IN particular, we were talking about what happens in the west, when software development moves east.

Please see this article on MIT's much talked about open courseware initiative:

Note: I would have added movement to the south for our North American contingent, but just this weekend I was reading about civil unrest in Mexico as asian street vendors are attacked for selling imported goods while the government tries to deport as many of them as they can. This is because the Maquiladora factories (border town cheap labor plants for NA companies) have lost thousands of jobs to China this year.
