"Back in August upon the launch of Apple's Snow Leopard we delivered benchmarks comparing Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6 along with initial benchmarks of how Ubuntu 9.10 was running against Mac OS X 10.6. Since that time though Ubuntu 9.10 has been officially released with various changes since last August and Apple has issued two point releases for Snow Leopard, now putting it at version 10.6.2. As we await the release of FreeBSD 8.0 to deliver a larger operating system comparison, we have carried out a fresh round of tests comparing Mac OS X 10.6.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 (both x86 and x86_64 editions) under a variety of tests." - Arnaldo M Pereira from Bookmarklet

"I have used Ubuntu exclusively since Feisty and have tested each new release from alpha on. I have always been a big booster of Ubuntu and am active on several help forums. Yet, despite all of this history together I am thinking seriously of leaving Planet Ubuntu. Here’s why Ubuntu is driving me away." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"You see, each time I install Ubuntu I have to strip out some things that I do not agree with and that should not be the case. If Canonical is to be consistent, I should not have to a a hypocrite about some things and not others. It is this inconsistency that is causing me to re-think Ubuntu." - ovigia

Thanks, Gina - Rob Truman

"First congrats to the release of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala! It’s the most ever perfect desktop distribution!

To celebrate the release of Ubuntu 9.10, I also to give a new updated version of Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.9.2 with a lot of refresh applications and sources for Ubuntu 9.10 only. There’s no doubt that you should upgrade to Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.9.2 too!" - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

There's not an API for lists yet, or so I've heard. - Glen Mistletoe

I agree. List-enabled client applications are very necessary. - © b e e n s w a n k

great roundup of tweaks that make ubuntu even better - Mike Chelen

i think that posting these things to the Ubuntu feed is good - but more importantly #Linux stuff should be posted to all technology feed - this way you get adoption and not just insiders... :) #pr #marketing!!! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

OpenShot makes me excited to bail on my crashy Mac PowerBook and pick up an Ubuntu laptop. Now if only I could settle on a decent notebook for video editing... - Joel Zehring

An eleven-year-old in my class is currently learning PHP, because HTML is too limited for him. Would this resource be helpful to him? Could it help me to engage with him on his level, in his language? - Joel Zehring

"Real Madrid have announced a net debt of £296m, alongside a record annual budget of £381m for the new season. The club's annual figures include £226m spent on four players: Xabi Alonso, Kaka, Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Real's debt last year was around £100m. Their budget is some £20m greater than that of arch-rivals Barcelona, whose £361m budget is also a club record. The announcement comes after Uefa approved plans to force clubs to spend only what they can earn in revenue." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Stories like this annoy me. The people who own and run these clubs are adults, why should it be up to UEFA to decide how much they can spend? I have the same problem with American sports, where a team that is willing to spend more is derided for doing what it takes to win. Any company that wants to be dominant has to go out and get the best available people in the industry, which... more... - Bren, Not Grinchy
