In a bold move, Sony Imageworks moves to open source some of their programs. This is a great shift in the market for those of us that use Linux but are still ham-strung by a few apps that just don’t play well in wine or have an Open Source alternative. Now if we can just get Adobe to hook us up. Check out the full story here >>.
I recently installed eeebuntu on my eee900 netbook and after 2 weeks I have to say I love it. I had originally opted to install crunch bang and while I really loved how clean and the interface was it seemed just a little slow. So I figured I’d try out a new distro. The netbook interface seemed painfully slow but once I switch over to the standard desktop all was good. For anyone that is looking to get an Asus netbook and would like to run Linux ( seeing how Asus sold out to Microsoft ) I highly recommend giving eeebuntu a try. For those of you that not only noticed the new google logo but wish they could get a larger version need not look any further then HERE. The art work was done to promote Comic-Con and to help Google get their geek on. For those of us that keep up-to-date with all the newest browsers out there in effort to keep all of our sites working across as many browsers as we can, the Mozilla team has release an update for their Firefox browser. While this update is a security update I find it fitting for in our world as we spend so much time on the Internet. And lets face it. A downed computer mean no work. So in an effort to stay as safe as you can while dipping into the Internet waters why not head on over to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and grab some protection. Part IV of SEO Choosing Keywords Because most search engines utilize the Keyword META Tag, it is very important to choose words that are being used by more than just yourself to define your company. I just finished reading a short blog about Google being not only a friend but also a foe to the Open Source movement (read blog). I will say that when I first heard about Google Chrome OS I was a little exited as well as confused to the direction they may take it and what would happen to other Open Source projects that they would compete with directly. The above blog hits on all of those subject and is something that all Open Source users need to not only think about but follow as this may change the landscape for Linux and who will be using it. Of course I see this as a chance to really open up the possibilities and to finally hit a part of the market that would have never used Linux before. This may even open up the door to get those much needed applications that vendors wouldn’t port before because the user base just wasn’t there. All that aside you have to wonder if Google will become the New Redmond or will they stay true to the Open Source community. They finally did it. Google has announced they will be releasing a new OS based on the Linux Kernel. This is not the Android OS but a new OS all together. Check out the full blob here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html I can remember when suckerfish had posted the CSS dropdown nav. I can remember using javascript and tables to make my first dropdown nav. I thought if we could only get CSS working in all broswers this would be perfect. I eventually started using an variation with a javascript workaround for IE6. Older Posts » |
