Mass. softens stance on proprietary software (eWEEK)
Massachusetts, which has an IT budget of $80 million, has backpedaled on a recent policy announcement that suggested that the state would begin moving away from proprietary software such as Microsoft's Windows in favor of open source alternatives. This week, the state announced that it will push for solutions based on open standards -- a far cry from fully embracing open source.

THE MISSING LINK
Even PCs can eat too many carbs

Ah, the ol' tuber trick! A guy in Germany, claiming that the PC he'd just bought didn't work, returned it to the store. Employees there found a very good reason why the computer went on the fritz -- it was stuffed with potatoes. The store replaced the machine, but the guy returned, complaining that the new PC didn't work either. This time, he wanted a refund. Staffers found the same starchy spuds stuffed in the center of the
machine. Coincidence? Probably not. Countering the ol' tuber trick with the older "fool me once" philosophy, the retailer called die Polizei and the guy was arrested.
