From a quick and (admittedly) naive comparison between Firefox 3.6.11, Chrome 7.0.517.41 and Opera 11.00 alpha (all loading the same page), it seems clear that Firefox is still the most hungry of memory…
…anyway I'm too addicted to its extensions, to get rid of it! 😉
Well it seems that Ubuntu One is moving its first step into the social web; you can easily obtain a link for the song you're listening to. At variance with Apple's Ping, in Ubuntu One you can propagate this link to the (social) web, via all the services you've already set up in your microblogging client Gwibber. Far better than to have all inside iTunes only!
Oh, and as a nice surplus, you find your messages on Ubuntu One front page too. As an example, you can find on that web page a few of my recent played songs (user @mcastel)I do love the kubuntu community, and spend what some would consider an unreasonable amount on doing certain things twice but there is no philanthropic benefit to having TWO free desktops out there, that won’t help more folks embrace free software neither is there much commercial benefit in having two free desktops.
Great interview with Mark Shuttleworth, spanning a great range of related topics (from Kubuntu to Canonical and business models, not disregarding interesting motivational considerations… “Anyway, what matters to me is that our users are delighted”)
A little bit of URL manipulation has revealed separate forums for a new iMovie ’11, iPhoto ’11, and GarageBand ’11, all three of which are core components of the iLife suite, leading us to go ahead and presume that Steve Jobs will be discussing an iLife ’11 later today.
Yes, the fact that Apple follow a “closed” business model gave us this environment, in which “fans” are forced to run after deep investigations in order to understand what’s going to happen next. I understand that it’s a part of Apple strategy, as a whole (and I am an Apple customers too).
Anyway I can’t help but notice the difference with the Ubuntu roadmap.. in which you’re not forced to run after unconfirmed rumors, but you find all under the Sun…
Interesting point of view about the developement of GNOME, in comparision with the fate of KDE4 …
GNOME will emphasize simplicity, ease-of-use, and understated modernity over flashiness and over-the-top effects. KDE will be the way forward for ultimate customization, web-connected computing through Plasmoid widgets, and flashy desktop effects (as well as tools for power-users, like Dolphin/Konqueror vs. Nautilus, Okular vs. Evince, Kate vs. Gedit, etc.).Read more at dasublogbyprashanth.blogspot.com
Admittedly, I have grown up with Basic and Fortran, but I still can’t fully understand what it’s written in every Java book I stumbled upon, i.e, the object oriented way of thinking should be more “natural”..
… mmmm, sure??
