Linux Rants

– I wonder what Dell has planned for ChromeOS.

– Yay iPhone multitasking. Glad you could finally catch up.

– The Big Demand comes from Apple magic. From what I can tell, an Android phone would better serve pretty much everybody, but it doesn’t have that soft white glowing Apple logo.

– Not really OS related, but all those Wavers out there should be excited by this.

– Finally, multitasking standard on the iPhone. Has the iPhone finally caught up to the Android. In Steve Jobs’s wet dream, but it’s better than it has been.

– Trial of the Droid 2. Not sure what I think of the keyboard changes, but I’m anxious to get my mitts on it to see how it feels.

– Looks pretty cool, but expensive for what it does. Of course, I’d prefer an OS other than Windows to be running on it, but you know what they say about wishes and horses. It would be interesting to try one out.

– Interesting reading.

– Mac Trojan?? Surely you jest. Such a thing does not exist in Jobs world!

– An interesting writeup on the Elementary Project.

– As much as I’d like to write this off, Microsoft has to much money to disregard in any market. If they can come up with something REMOTELY usable, it could have a market.

– I’m curious to see what they come up with. Even some built in skinning utilities might not be a horrible idea. It might be too. Just a quick thought that I haven’t given a whole lot of time to.

– OSNews link to an article by an author that apparently missed the fact(until today) that Canonical ISN’T working on a Tablet version of their OS.

– Seems like a bug that needs to be fixed.

– If more people knew the virtues of Linux, the world would be a better place. Kudos Dell.

– Looks pretty. I’m anxious to try one. I’m still not sure I like the physical keyboard, but I’ll know once I get my hands on it.

– Another article on the Trojan in the UnrealIRCd package. This one from a more informed point of view.

– Just fix it AT&T, stop whining that someone found out about your flawed security. That goes for any other carriers too.

– I don’t doubt that the iPhone 4 will see big sales. Unfortunately, to many people look at the cool factor, and the Appleness of it all, and they’re blown away by it all. Not enough people look at what real advantages the iPhone 4 offers over competing phones. If they did, iPhone sales would be significantly reduced.

– More Android chomping on Apple’s market share. Oh, and the other guys too.

– Looks pretty sweet. See if the specs play out.

– Now, if only it wasn't on At&t.

– Yay?

– I’ve never used Shotwell, and only briefly touched on F-Spot. Shotwell looks good from the few seconds that I poked around their website. Comments?

– Overblown questions about Linux security found here. Read at your own peril.

– It’s nice that Apple is trying to be nice to developers, but their policies still strike me as overly draconian.

– When it rains, it pours eh Steve?

– Looks pretty sweet.

– I’m not sure how you can say blocking your competition from even being ON the platform is “competition”.

– Interesting news on the Chrome OS front. I’m a little surprised by this. I was expecting Chrome OS to be a web application only type operating system, but now I’m having to rethink that idea. I’m anxious to try a newer version of this OS.

– Personally, I think this is tantamount to Microsoft blocking Apple’s browser from running on Windows. This wouldn’t be legal for Microsoft, and it SHOULDN’T be legal for Apple. Apple’s lived inside their little protected bubble for to long.

– Need to get back on that.
