Leica Announces CM ZOOM Film Camera
Not uninteresting. Ok, I would definitely prefer the CM ( Jutta has one, really a fine device), simply because I'm a fixed focal length fetishist, but if you want to have a zoom compact, the CM Zoom is certainly interesting. Ok, only if you're willing to pay the absurd price. But that's normal for Leica.

Driving toll into the wall
There's something to that. I mean, they're blowing millions on nonsense and then they steal map materials because they're too cheap to pay for them? I always knew it - no satire and no grotesque can be as absurd as real life ...

USB-Cams: The Battle with the GPL
Too bad. Heise News didn't understand it either. Webcam users wouldn't be left in the lurch if the module maintainer weren't acting like an offended crybaby and nurturing his poor ego. Because as a module outside the kernel, it would still be possible to offer support without problems (and if the hardware really is so widespread, distributions like Suse would certainly include it in the distribution kernel).
Nobody has a fixed right to be in the actual kernel source with their module. Often it doesn't even make sense - because some modules directly in kernel source aren't properly maintained and thus a constant source of trouble when kernel interfaces change.
And purely binary components of a kernel module are a security risk, since their function cannot be verified. And they directly contradict the GPL - that has nothing to do with overly pedantic interpretation. Binary kernel modules, or even just parts of them, are always a problem. And hooks that only serve to give such a component access to the kernel are not necessarily what I understand as secure kernel design...
