Re: <nettime> Linux wins Prix Ars due to MICROSOFT INTERVENTION |
dear nettimers, so nobody belived the hoax? some did... the jury-member as a laboratory rat last week, *der falter*, a vienna based (reputable) weekly city magazine entiteled its culture-column: *ars electonica: the jury-member as a laboratory rat*. vitus h. weh writes that after he had finished his article about ars, an e-mail dropped into his mailbox which said that some of the jury-members felt as manipulated laboratory rats. (...) It seemed that short before the golden nica - award obviously a major scandal became public. Then he repeats the contents of the mail, explains something about linux/open source and closes with the words: *to sell the whole reputable festival as an advertising-event for technology-enterprises should be thought over again.* *the journalist as a laboratory rat* would have been the better title... christian hessle itch@betazine.org (+43) 0699 10077248 http://www.betazine.org macOS crashes easier than windows - but still almost twice as fast... # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
