Open Source FPGA Pi Hat
It is great to have an open source board and tool chain for FPGA development. We’ve talked about the open source Icestorm toolchain before and MyHDL, too. If you prefer, most of the vendor FPGA tools are free to use for many common devices and uses. The Lattice tools should work just as well with this board, even if it does offend your open source sensibilities.

NEWS: Google unveils open-source Accelerated Mobile Pages to speed up article loading times
Google has unveiled a way to make web pages load much faster on mobile web browsers using their open-source project Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP).
For internet users, the faster load times will be welcome, but the move raises issues for ad-supported sites and services, who are unsure at this stage how they’ll be able to have ads on AMP pages.
Indeed, the company admits it is not yet sure precisely how advertising will work within AMP. It has stated that pages will load content before advertising but other details around ad targeting and tracking capabilities are yet to be addressed. Gingras said: “There are a lot of details to work out here in terms of some of those capabilities. We want to support existing business models, but it’s a work in progress. Today wasn’t the finish line; today was the starting line.”

What's the best free alternative to Microsoft Office?
One of my longtime favorites, WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office), has become something of a mess. If you head to WPS.com, you find only Android, iOS and Linux versions of the suite. Huh? A little Googling reveals that Kingsoft proper still offers the Windows version, but good luck figuring out the different names and options. (My advice: click the Download button next to Office Suite Free 2013. That's the version I used for a long while and really liked.) Noam Chomsky: Bernie Sanders can’t save America

Insider: Oracle has lost interest in Java
There has been a lot of scuttlebutt lately about Oracle and a supposed de-emphasis on Java within the company. The rumblings are getting louder.
From the apparent dismissal of Java evangelists to an email alleging a shrugged-shoulders attitude about Java, Oracle’s commitment to the platform has come into question. This is happening despite a road map that commits to a modular Java 9 release in a year and a planned emphasis on enterprise Java at next month’s JavaOne conference.
