What Time Is It At SCO?A member of the Radar team, typing on his iPhone, just wrote me that he was at SCO when in fact he was at SFO. That amusing typo made me wonder what SCO, which attempted to convince courts that it owned the unownable, was up to now, in its Chapter 11 iteration. As Tim wrote here more than two years ago, SCO "used a lightning strike that was both heavy-handed and underhanded to try to leverage its power ... but ultimately the open-source community will prevail. Paris killed Achilles, remember, but Troy still lost." (I'm a sucker for Homer references.) So, what is the big news nowadays, according to the SCO website? It's a daylight savings time patch! And, in keeping with the company's apparent new belief in open source, it's free!

The iPhone reference was to highlight how typo-prone that device is, not to show off.
