"Harald Welte has issued a scathing opinion of Android on his blog. He bases it on Matt Porter's presentation at the Embedded Linux Conference Europe, called "Android Mythbusters" [PDF]. Porter outlined what he learned while porting Android to PowerPC and MIPS architectures. Welte characterizes Android as Google having "thrown 5-10 years of Linux userspace evolution into the trashcan and re-implemented it partially for no reason. [...] Executive summary: Android is a screwed, hard-coded, non-portable abomination." " -- I do _not_ necessarily share all Harald's opinions but thought it might make sense to read them anyway - A.T. from Bookmarklet

vm-starter, sounds like Minesweeper starter, hehe :) yes I know what they do is TiVo-alike-only-mobile path... whether it is good or bad - for end-users, developers, non-Google business, public institutions and other NGOs -- this is still big bold question mark *???* - A.T.

"Ubuntu 9.10 is causing outrage and frustration, with early adopters wishing they'd stuck with previous versions of the Linux distro. Blank and flickering screens, failure to recognize hard drives, defaulting to the old 2.6.28 Linux kernel, and failure to get encryption running are taking their toll, as early adopters turn to the web for answers and log fresh bug reports in Ubuntu forums." That's why it's called an "Early Adopter". You have to accept a certain amount of risk when you jump on the bandwagon early. - Jason Huebel from Bookmarklet

" Hello, I would like to remember that you can find some of the people that work on getdeb on IRC. In case you are not familiar with it, just install the application xchat, connect to the "Ubuntu Servers" network, and /join #getdeb . I know not everyone likes IRC but it really helps on collaboration because we can interactively communicate on a team-like manner. Hope to see you there :) " - Mike Chelen from email

"First congrats to the release of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala! It’s the most ever perfect desktop distribution! Cool and fast boot, beautiful login window and new desktop theme, lots of new applications: Ubuntu Software Center, Ubuntu One… You’ve upgraded, right? 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

"Mer is an outgrowth of Nokia's Maemo environment, designed to flesh out the tablet-centric operating system into a full-fledged Linux distribution suitable for embedded and desktop systems of all description. The project's genesis was an effort to back port the upcoming Maemo 5.0 release to no-longer-supported Nokia N800 and N810 tablets, but it has subsequently evolved to run on BeagleBoards, embedded navigation devices like the Pocket LOOX, and standard x86 hardware." - A.T. from Bookmarklet

"Nokia's second annual Maemo Summit brought together 400 developers and power users of the Linux-based tablet community in Amsterdam over the October 9-11 weekend. Maemo Community Manager Quim Gil said the primary goal was to bring the community together for the social and interactive benefits, but the three-day program also provided a solid introduction to the new Maemo 5 release, a preview of Maemo 6, and a chance to work with the Nokia N900 — which ships with as close to a standard Linux distribution as the marketplace has seen delivered on a usable mobile phone." - A.T. from Bookmarklet

"The aim of Sonic Visualiser is to be the first program you reach for when want to study a musical recording rather than simply listen to it. We hope Sonic Visualiser will be of particular interest to musicologists, archivists, signal-processing researchers and anyone else looking for a friendly way to take a look at what lies inside the audio file. Sonic Visualiser is Free Software, distributed under the GNU General Public License (v2 or later) and available for Linux, OS/X, and Windows. It was developed at the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London." - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

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

"Going from Inkscape to GIMP and some occasional RDP guillt-trips on Photoshop when I get occasionally stuck in GIMP - though in GIMP defense some of its plugins have been very useful (thank god for geeks + nerds alike) :) I wish to extract more detail from the rather muddy blackhole but was ahving a hard time with GIMP. Photoshop wasn't that great of a choice to deal with a lot of precision curve work... and I find myself revisiting LightZone quite a bit when I need some additional help. The best part is that a Linux edition is available along with Windows and Mac. The program has evolved a great deal since I tried them out when they were still in beta. Now in version 3.0, the program has evolved quite a bit. + 2560x1600 PNG + source to come Submitted for consideration as the default desktop background for Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) Comments + feedback much appreciated" - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet
