Apple Browsing Share Tops Linux, Android Steals Share Everywhere - PC World

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 12:28:04 +0000

More people browsed the Internet last month with a device running Apple's mobile operating system, iOS, than used Linux to do so. That's a first for Apple, according to NetMarketShare , a firm that produces metrics on the market share of browsers, operating systems and search engines.

However, the market figures do represent a new way that NetMarketshare has adopted to calculate market share for Apple. "In order to more accurately describe usage share for Apple devices, the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad are now being grouped under their common operating system iOS," the firm explained . "When these devices are combined, they have over one percent of global browsing share, which is now higher than Linux," it said.

How to Choose a Desktop Linux Distribution - PC World

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:19:21 +0000

With all the many reasons to use Linux today--particularly in a business setting--it's often a relatively easy decision to give Windows the boot . What can be more difficult, however, is deciding which of the hundreds of Linux distributions out there is best for you and your business.

Post to multiple blogs here.

Judging by popularity statistics, as tracked both by Distrowatch and in a recent study at LinuxTrends, Ubuntu is clearly the most popular distribution, or "distro." There's no denying that Ubuntu has many benefits for business users; at the same time, there are many, many other possibilities, each offering its own twist on Linux.

Post entries to multiple blogs here.

If you or the other people in your office have never used Linux before, you'll probably want to stick with a distribution that's better suited to beginning users. This is one of Ubuntu's defining characteristics , but Fedora, Linux Mint, and business-friendly openSUSE can be good choices as well. Personally, I'd steer a brand-new user to either Ubuntu or Fedora.

Linux may not be getting any a version of Valve’s Steam digital video game distribution platform anytime soon but that doesn’t mean the operating system isn’t getting any love. In fact, the community surrounding the open source OS is alive and well with popular software making the jump just about every day.

Google is no stranger to the Linux OS and have based their popular Android mobile operating system along with the forthcoming Google TV and Chrome OS off its kernel. Of course, as of late, there has been some controversy over whether or not modern Android releases are actually Linux based but that’s an entirely different discussion which we won’t get into here.

Apart from offering operating systems for a plethora of devices, Google also has a wide range of cloud based services which I’m sure you’re all very well aware of. Not only do they have their core search engine, but they also offer Gmail, Google Talk, Google Docs, Google Buzz and much more.

If the PS3 is Jailbroken, Can We Have Other OS Back? - PC World

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:49:58 +0000

Although I never found much utility in Other OS, a Playstation 3 feature that could turn the console into a basic computer running Linux, my heart went out to people who used Other OS before Sony scrapped it.

Find blog for Nokia phone reviews

Sony said it removed Other OS in March to " protect the integrity of the console ," possibly because one hacker came too close to exploiting the feature in a way that would allow piracy. But now, OzModChips claims to have the first PS3 modchip on a USB stick . In theory, this allows people to play bootleg and homebrew games and make disc backups. Supposedly, it can also bypass firmware updates that Sony might use to banish the hack.

If Sony's piracy safeguards have indeed fallen, I propose that Sony should bring back Other OS. After all, once the integrity of the console is lost, there's no point in protecting it at the expense of users who did no harm.

Linux compliance program a response to surging open-source use - Computerworld

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:08:47 +0000

The Open Compliance Program announced by the Linux Foundation on Tuesday is a response to the surging growth in the use of open-source technologies within enterprises, and by makers of consumer electronic and mobile devices, analysts say.

Much of the program appears to be directed at addressing what many analysts said is continuing confusion among makers of embedded devices about open-source licensing requirements. But enterprises can benefit from the program as well, they added.

Oracle, Amazon Offer New Ways to Run Linux From Afar - PC World

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 10:06:54 +0000

In the new version of its Virtual Desk Infrastructure (VDI) software, Oracle has included the ability to run various Linux distributions on thin-client devices. And Novell has announced that Amazon will start offering cloud-based versions of Novell's SUSE Linux OS on its Elastic Compute Cloud service.

Inherited in Oracle's purchase of Sun Microsystems, Oracle VDI (formerly Sun VDI) offers the ability to stream entire desktop interfaces from servers to thin-clients and desktop computers. Version 3.2 expands the number of OSes it can support beyond Microsoft Windows. VDI 3.2 officially supports Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and Oracle Enterprise Linux, though organizations are free to run other Linux distributions with the software as well. Oracle has no plans to support Red Hat Enterprise Linux, given that the company's own Oracle Enterprise Linux is a close replica of that OS, Coekaerts said.

Wowd: A Faster, More Powerful Way to Explore Facebook - PC World

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:14:47 +0000

Facebook describes itself as "a social utility that helps people communicate more efficiently with their friends, family and coworkers." True enough, but there's one basic problem: The more friends, family, and coworkers you communicate with, the less efficient Facebook is. That's because it offers surprisingly few features for navigating your way through the surging sea of updates you get if you have more than a handful of connections. Once an item scrolls off the front page of your news feed, chances are pretty good that you'll never see it again. And interesting nuggets can get lost among stuff you couldn't care less about.

Contents Generation

Enter Wowd , a real-time search engine that aims to help Facebook be better at living up to its own mission. It's introducing a new version with something it calls a "social discovery client for Facebook" today. I got a sneak peek before it opened the tool up to the masses.

Contents Generation Software

My favorite Wowd feature is one of its most straightforward: full-text search for Facebook items from your friends. It's like being able to Google their posts for keywords, and it's a great way to track down tidbits that might have scrolled away while you weren't paying attention.

OSD-Lyrics Turns Your Linux Media Player into a Karaoke Machine - Lifehacker

Sun, 08 Aug 2010 23:14:48 +0000

Linux: We've featured an open source SingStar-like karaoke game before , but if you're looking for something a bit simpler, OSD-Lyrics automatically downloads and displays lyrics for a ton of popular Linux media players.

Purchase canon cameras online

If you've been looking for other alternate uses for your Linux-based HTPC , you can check karoke machine off the list by installind OSD-Lyrics. Unlike previously mentioned UltraStar , it's not a full-fledged game; instead, it just displays lyrics for a number of different media players like Amarok, Banshee, Exaile, Rhythmbox, and Songbird (to name just a few).

Surprisingly, it works very well. It downloads and displays all the lyrics automatically, and somehow magically knows where each line begins and ends in a song, so you have to do little, if any, work to get it up and running. Just start up the application, play a song, and go to town. If you want a more genuine karoke experience, you'll have to seek out some vocal-less tunes yourself, although you can always just hook up a microphone and sing along with the full versions of songs you already have.
