Stardate 20010908.0712 (On Screen): Well, we have another confirmed death among the ranks of the Open Source corporations. Last time
it was Eazel, this time it's Great Bridge. Having burned through $25 million, its board has given up. They managed to achieve 19,000 downloads and accumulate a bunch of awards, but somehow it never managed to result in actual income sufficient to offset the expenses of operating the company. Where have we heard that before? (In other news,
VA Linux closed trading yesterday at $1.07, an all-time low, and perilously close to the critical $1.00 level below which it faces delisting.)
