Ubuntu 10.04 will bring panel overhaul, social network menu - http://digg.com/linux_u...
"Gwibber, the social networking framework, is invoked with D-Bus activation. That means that the daemon won't start until something actually tries to use it." - Ryan Paul

"Perhaps you missed this part? "I've been running the it since the beginning of the month, when I installed it from a daily CD image." A month is surely enough time to make such a conclusion on the basis of actual testing." - Ryan Paul

segphault on Nokia switches Qt to LGPL - http://reddit.com/r...
"Python bindings are already available for the GTK+ WebKit component. I'm using it in Gwibber, my open source microblogging client for GNOME. The GTK+ WebKit port basically works, but it's missing a big chunk of the functionality that you get with WebKit in Qt, such as the ability to embed native widgets in HTML and the ability to expose native functions up through the JavaScript layer in the web content." - Ryan Paul

What do you think? I think pages for stuff like gaming reviews, and events like E3/CES/WWDC/MacWorld would be pretty awesome too. - Clint Ecker from Bookmarklet

Yesterday I spent a lot of time tweaking Ubuntu so it worked in a manner similar to OS X, with really good results. I'm thinking about doing the OS X -> Ubuntu switch completely (I've been a casual user for a while). The one blocker? No decent photo editing app.
I want lightroom but Adobe likes to pretend Linux doesn't exist so thats not happening any time soon. Is there a good photo post processing app I don't know about floating around out there? Please don't mention Gimp because I may have to come and take your drugs away and you don't want that, right? - EricaJoy
I've heard good things about lightzone, a cross-platform lightroom alternative that is Linux compatible. - Ryan Paul
Just curious...what's wrong with GIMP? *hides drugs* - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
It's a design program made, designed, and user tested by developers, and is missing a good 90% of the features, workflows, and metaphors of the products it intends to compete with. Oh, and since it's open source and nobody's really getting paid to do it (and thus, it's not driven by market demands), there's no way to plan or build a business around its development. I know what Adobe's... more... - Mark Trapp

So you go to a wedding and the bride and groom have a slideshow running at the reception. On the table you find a note at your chair with instructions on how to add photos to the slideshow real time from your cell phone camera. A) What is your reaction? B) Is there a service that does this?
Hey, I want to go to a wedding chat, drink, dance and generally have a good time... Happy to wish the bride and groom as well.. but taking pictures and posting them.. that sounds like work to me :) - Bindu Reddy
If you build it they will come. - Russellreno
C) How long until the truly embarassing pictures start? - Tudor Bosman
I tried something like this at the first Google Testing Conference. We created a flickr group: http://flickr.com/groups... and set up a flickr slideshow that played through all the photos in the group. We did occasionally have to restart it though. - Adewale Oshineye
why would anyone at the wedding want to see my cell phone camera photos? they are unlikely to be related to the bride and groom - peter
a) Cool, lemme take and add some photos b) Not that I know of - Adam Kazwell
A) Wow, I knew these guys were geeks B) Probably a way to do it using RSS and a public posting address (not sure if flickr allows such a setup) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah from NoiseRiver
A) Frakkin' awesome; B) If there isn't, there oughta be. - George Kelly
a.) awesome idea b.) not that I know of! - lisa-k
