Just stumbled across this cartoon via B3ta; it makes the case that Aldous Huxley was the more prophetic author compared to George Orwell, contrasting Brave New World against 1984. It’s true that Orwell may have enriched the English language more than Huxley (Newspeak, Big Brother, Room 101, Doublethink etc.), but Huxley may well have had the more accurate vision.

Are Microsoft really starting to turn a page when it comes to Open Source? Let’s hope so; they’ve just released the source code to the (excellent) ASP.NET MVC framework under the OSI-approved MS-PL license. There's more information over at Scott Guthrie’s blog – I’d particularly recommend reading his ASP.NET MVC PDF tutorial as it gives an excellent overview of ASP.NET MVC itself.
