All video codecs are covered by patents. A patent pool is being assembled to go after Theora and other “open source” codecs now. Unfortunately, just because something is open source, it doesn’t mean or guarantee that it doesn’t infringe on others patents. An open standard is different from being royalty free or open source.

Lubuntu wireless with my old Acer

My old Acer Aspire 5000 laptop had been doing a fine job as a dust collector under my bed for a while since the xp install was getting pretty bloated and sluggish. Therefore I decided to wipe the hard drive clean and do a fresh install of the Lubuntu 10.04 beta 1. Overall i was very impressed with the speed of boot-up and operation on the old acer, my only problem was getting the wireless to work, since it has a broadcom card and they have never been the most linux friendly cards around. I did a little research and found this site http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43


It guided me through well enough and I downloaded the fwcutter program which is automatically downloaded the necessary drivers and installed them and on reboot the wireless worked wonderfully :).
