Interesting Article Contrasting Open Source versus Closed Systems

Wired News has an article entitled "Open Internet, We Hardly Knew Ye" which contrasts open source against closed systems.

It gives an example regarding the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina where a past legacy of closed systems has worked against hurricane survivors from easily locating loved ones.

The article points out to me that it takes a mindset of being locked down in a bunker with "Us Against The World" corporate motto and philosophy to push aggressively for the further justification for closed systems and restrictions to freeing information.

Check it out for yourself and I would love to hear your pros and cons.

Yours in the Bond!
