Doc Searls: "Cause your own effects. Got an email from a reader this morning [~] another polymath with a polyspecialized background, now sidetracked at midlife without any obvious career track.

It seems to me that the only things Linux needs are a user interface like Mac OS X that is consistent throughout, and enough discipline among the open source programming faithful to adhere to consistent ways for apps et al. to work. Gnome/Nautilus are a good step but it's still not mainstream (where is Eazel when we need them). Many Linux user apps are like playing the game Myst - you have to click all over the screen to try to find out how they work... Comments 10:12:34 AM
