"... the philosophy of Google+ was wildly different than ... Buzz. We took a lot of the same technology that had been built for Buzz and ported that over. But the approach was basically another Walled Garden.
...
Which is just really disappointing for someone who came in ... having spent so much time seeing ... how much the Buzz product had embraced that [open ecosystem approach]."

Xbox Project Helix: The $1,000 Beast That Runs Steam🎮💻
The “Console” is Dead. Long Live the Hybrid. Is Microsoft’s Project Helix worth the premium price tag?
Following the confirmation of Project Helix, the gaming community has been dissecting what this hybrid shift means for the future of hardware. While the initial reveal focused on the “PC-in-a-box” concept, deeper analysis of the hardware specifications and the broader competitive landscape suggests Microsoft is positioning this as a high-end disruptor rather than a traditional console.
That concept really captures the “PC-soul in a console-body” vibe—especially with that unified UI showing Steam and Xbox side-by-side. It looks like the kind of machine that would make a $1,000 price tag a lot easier to swallow for a hardcore enthusiast.

It might be time for a broad (and thoughtful) conversation on the limits of openness, in the #OpenEcosystem? How do #OpenGovernment and #OpenData work within the #FreeSoftware framework? Do #OERs run the risk of promoting #fauxpen and #OpenWashing?

"Libraries in the Open ecosystem"
@nic221
There's a lot to the "Ecosystem of Open". #OpenEcosystem
From F/LOSS, #OpenData, and #OpenBadges to #OpenScience, #OpenGovernment, and #OERs, let's work through a whole system of complex interrelations. Yes, that includes activities @weareopencoop & @openedtech.social. Also, #InfoPros (librarians et al.).
#LOUDGLAM is a neat example: Linked Open Usable Data in Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums.https://hangingtogether.org/open-everything-everywhere-all-at-once/
