The fixes below work uniformly across Operating Systems (Mac, PC and Linux) and their respective browsers.

Thank you very much Michael Krol!

It might eventually be inevitable with the open source movements gaining more ground.

One of Apples best moves, IMHO, was opening their intel systems up to allow Windows XP to run natively. In fact, that’s what convinced me to purchase a new Mac instead of adding a PC to my work station. Why not kill two birds with one stone? I bet the ability to run windows on a Mac (through boot camp or virtual machines) has persuaded a lot people to make the switch.

Why not extend this to the iPhone? Naturally, they won’t do it to unless consumers demand it. Wouldn’t it be nice to run Google’s Android (open source) software?

Shouldn’t one of the most expensive phones on the market be truly open?

Write to your senators and urge them to amend the bill, and ask them to vote against the bill if it is NOT amended…

The following link will take you to the Graphic Artist’s Guild Advocacy page where they have done most of the work for you:

Friends are sending desperate pleas to write their congressmen/senators and to boycott all the major corporations that are funding this bill; mainly Microsoft, Google, Corbis and Ghetty.

We, the creative community, must unite and take action to ensure that our copyright protection is maintained within acceptable standards. My goal is to amass as much reliable information as possible with which to base an effective plan of action.

A plethora of information (including links to the actual drafts of the two versions of the bill) can be found at the Graphic Artists Guild online, http://gag.org/

Let’s organize and stick it to the man!

Lame! Am I the only one with this problem?

I’m thrilled with the progress so far and felt a need to share it.
I forgot how much fun it is to play in Photoshop!

Instead I will be focusing on all of second life’s advantages (i.e. flying). Why walk when you can fly or teleport?

I’ll be taking a purely artistic approach to the matter…
