then brought to Sun and now possibly moving to a new home again. Brian Aker is the director of technology for MySQL with Sun Microsystems and probably is familiar as anyone with the life history and current status of the popular open-source database. He recently discussed the current status of MySQL with us, and how it might fare if IBM were to acquire Sun. <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/03/brian-aker-what-would-an-ibm-b.html">Read more.</a></strong></div> </div> <div class="asset-footer"></div> </div> <div id="entry-35703" class="entry-asset asset hentry"> <div class="asset-header"> <h2 class="asset-name entry-title"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/interview-will-wright-sims-a.html">Web 2.0 Expo Preview: Will Wright, Sims and Simulations</a></h2> <div class="asset-meta" style="border: none;"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/interview-will-wright-sims-a.html"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749im_/http://cachefly.oreilly.com/news/images/icon_podcast.gif" style="float: left; border: none; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"></a>By <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/kurtc">Kurt Cagle</a><br/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/interview-will-wright-sims-a.html#comments">Comments: 1</a></mt:ifcommentsactive>  </div>  </div> <div class="asset-content entry-content"> <div class="asset-body">   <div style="float: right; padding-left: 6px;"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/interview-will-wright-sims-a.html"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749im_/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/26/willwrightsmall.jpg" alt="Web 2.0 Expo Preview: Will Wright, Sims and Simulations" title="Web 2.0 Expo Preview: Will Wright, Sims and Simulations" width="148"/></a></div>      Will Wright has been the foundational genius behind a thirty year string of blockbuster games, from the early Raid on Bungeling Bay in 1984 to the first truly fun urban simulation, Sim City. From there he delved deeper into the lives of the individual inhabitants of those cities with the Sims, a game that let players actually shape how his simulated people interacted with one another (while making them increasingly life-like and sophisticated in their own actions). In 2008, he released Spore, where the simulations focused on the evolution of life in a massively parallel game system. Scheduled for June 2009, Wright will release the much awaited Sims 3, in which for the first time, the Sims can explore their world. Wright will be speaking on the Sims and games in general at the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://www.web2expo.com/webexsf2009">O'Reilly Web 2.0 Expo</a> in San Francisco.

There has long been a strong need for better international regulatory clarity on the overlap between standards and patents (or copyright): in particular to provide the necessary legal and administrative superstructure for the emergence and favouring of Open Standards. Among other reasons, to stop FUD and rorting. <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/03/us-industry-competitiveness-de.html">Read more.</a></strong></div> </div> <div class="asset-footer"></div> </div> <div id="entry-35693" class="entry-asset asset hentry"> <div class="asset-header"> <h2 class="asset-name entry-title"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://www.insideria.com/2009/03/silverlight-development-for-th.html">Silverlight Development for the Flex Developer</a></h2> <div class="asset-meta" style="border: none;"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://www.insideria.com/2009/03/silverlight-development-for-th.html"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749im_/http://cachefly.oreilly.com/news/images/icon_text.gif" style="float: left; border: none; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"></a>By <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/3668">Tom Lauck</a><br/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://www.insideria.com/2009/03/silverlight-development-for-th.html#comments">Comments: 8</a></mt:ifcommentsactive>  </div>  </div> <div class="asset-content entry-content"> <div class="asset-body">        The jets and sharks, Hatfields and McCoys, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants, Adobe and Microsoft. Now several years in the making, the Adobe - Microsoft rivalry is gearing up. Especially with the anticipated new release of Silverlight 3 and Flex 4. As any seasoned Flex veteran will tell you, Adobe is the defacto standard for Rich Internet Applications. When asked about interest in Silverlight, the response may vary, but usually ends in “I haven’t actually spent a lot of time [or tried] it.” A product of Microsoft, Silverlight is. But as professionals in the RIA industry it is a good thing to be open minded. After all, as hard as it is to admit, Flash isn’t always the best tool for the job. <strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://www.insideria.com/2009/03/silverlight-development-for-th.html">Read more.</a></strong></div> </div> <div class="asset-footer"></div> </div> <div id="entry-35679" class="entry-asset asset hentry"> <div class="asset-header"> <h2 class="asset-name entry-title"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/transforming-the-relationship.html">Transforming the Relationship Between Citizens and Government: Making Content Findable Online</a></h2> <div class="asset-meta" style="border: none;"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/transforming-the-relationship.html"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749im_/http://cachefly.oreilly.com/news/images/icon_text.gif" style="float: left; border: none; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"></a>By <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/vanessa">Vanessa Fox</a><br/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/transforming-the-relationship.html#comments">Comments: 6</a></mt:ifcommentsactive>  </div>  </div> <div class="asset-content entry-content"> <div class="asset-body">        Thursday on this blog, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090326204749/http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/03/crowdsourcing-evolution-of-congressional-websites.html">Congressman Honda asked</a>, "how can congress take advantage of web 2.0 technologies to transform the relationship between citizens and government?"
