Updated list of book reviews -- Comment()
I added some new book reviews (written in Finnish) to my collection:

Free Culture (Lawrence Lessig; The Penguin Press, 2004)
Tunteita, tulkintoja ja tietotekniikkaa (Satu Aaltonen; Kulttuurihistoria, Turun yliopisto, 2004)
Tarinoiden voima - Miten yrityksen hyödyntävät tarinoita? (Mika Aaltonen, Titi Heikkilä; Talentum, 2003)
Practical Python (Magnus Lie Hetland; Apress, 2002)
Python in a Nutshell (Alex Martelli; O'Reilly, 2003)
Dive in to Python (Mark Pilgrim; Apress, 2004)

These reviews were submitted to issue 4/2004 of the Tietoyhteys magazine, but some may not appear in this issue.

Author of Linux Patent Study Contradicts Ballmer: "Open source faces no more, if not less, legal risk than proprietary software. The market needs to understand that the study Microsoft is citing actually proves the opposite of what they claim it does."

This happens more and more. A study makes a point, but someone turns the result to their own purposes. Few people bother to check what was really said. The reality is created by the biggest advertising budget.
