the link sends me Metalbyte in which one of the editors of RedmondPie tells how a series of Disneychannel made a negative reference but mostly wrong Open Source Software .

 500x318 Disney Channel Disney Channel advised not to use Open Source

This channel

issued several series with 10 years those kids who seem to have their dialogues 30 , and access to technology, all MacBooks, semi-professional video cameras for sale format park-and one of them is Shake It Up

Well

in that series was issued a chapter with a scene in which a small expert (with glasses, of course) in computer speak of malware that is associated with open source software. Apparently a virus attacks some of the computers of one of the characters, and the little geek blames the Open Source .

sentence character is “Did you use Open Source code to save time, and the virus was hidden in that code?” , as the understanding that any Open Source code is riddled with viruses. To then blame the client, claiming that install Open Source is a “rookie mistake ” (“rookie mistake “).


If this channel is intended to educate-thing and no doubt existed that error- go astray , of course.

Something is happening around the veteran GNOME file manager. Nautilus , once the cornerstone of desktop options loses version after version . And there are distros that can no longer more.

 August 1 191 107 2012 Nautilus 500x363 All against Nautilus

Ubuntu developers are considering leaving Nautilus 3.4 in Ubuntu 12.10, although in the repositories of the Nautilus version is 3.5. The reason is preserve features .

A similar

had to go through your head people Linux Mint , they already have in place a fork called Nautilus Nemo.

more mavericks, and for example SolusOS , a newly created distribution that is giving enough to talk (to see if I have time and taste!), Nautilus offers a patch to regain functionality .

The problem is that the GNOME developers are following a very strict way in design and features of Nautilus, GNOME Shell adapting to its logical conclusion, ie eliminating all the extra in GNOME Shell , or what the developers believe that spare.

They forget, of course, there are other distributions that use GNOME 3 based , have chosen to dispense with GNOME Shell, and are affected by such decisions.

Pangolin matrix 1024x640 620x387 v1 3e HUD, bet against the menus Canonical Ubuntu traditions 12.04

In the coming months, Canonical released Ubuntu 4.12 LTS and will include a few innovations in the Linux-based operating system. One of the latest additions to the popular distro is HUD , also known as “Head’s Up Display” is a new feature that will replace applications menu Unity and simplify the interaction with users.

With HUD will no longer have to rely on traditional menus to access any function included in a program. With this feature users will only need to use a search engine to perform actions, manipulate tools or access any area belonging to an application.

It’s a bit complicated to explain the operation of HUD to those unfamiliar with Ubuntu or who are not accustomed to taking action on a command line. But the truth is that Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical CEO and founder, he has great faith and even sees it as a revolutionary step for the distro .

Particularly I think that HUD will a feature that will allow a greater acceptance of Unity in the Linux community , but also increase the confusion among those users recently migrated from Windows or other operating systems. Anyway we have to wait to draw our conclusions.

If you want to learn more about HUD and the abandonment of traditional menus in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will find a video explaining the end of the post. Also in the source link can access the web site of Mark Shuttleworth, there will appreciate further details regarding the development and implementation of this new feature.

 logo1 kodak 300x151 ¿slap from drowning? Kodak filed federal lawsuit against Samsung Recently we told you that Kodak is a one step from bankruptcy, which is why the U.S. company launched a crusade to raise money by any method possible. Last week the company filed suit against Apple and HTC in the International Trade Commission and WIN now legal team pointed it at Samsung .

According to a press release New Yorkers filed a federal lawsuit alleging the South Korean corporation that several of your devices (smart phones and tablets) violated five of its patents on digital images . Kodak evidently are willing to take any action to avoid bankruptcy.

As reported by the U.S. company patents involved in the lawsuit include several technologies to capture and transmit images (from the email sent to transfer via cellular networks). For now do not know what Samsung devices would have breached the techniques reported by Kodak.

It is ironic that the maximum photo icon had to “downgrade” to fight for patents on digital photos to escape bankruptcy. For many years, Kodak scorned digital photography business saying that the public would never abandon the printed images, and now I can do more than eat his own words.

So far no more news was reported on the issue but when more news on the situation of Kodak, and their claims to the technology giants most successful moment will keep you updated.

The most drastic measure of taking the English edition of Wikipedia closing access to their article for 24 hours, as I had anticipated.

Google in the English version published a link that calls to users press against the United States Congress to stop the controversial laws. On Twitter, interestingly, the protest is reflected with the tag # FactsWithoutWikipedia, a compilation of ironic statements that allude to the absence of Wikipedia.

Some sites were a little harder with the claim and directly restricted access to their content, as is the case of WordPress.org, Cuevana.tv and Reddit.com. Others stated only a legend of “Censorship” in their logos as Taringa.net and Twitpic.com. Do want to understand a little more concerned SOUP, we leave this video that explains in simple terms:

ipad galaxytab Apple accused of altering photos of Galaxy Tab lawsuit against Samsung

recent months we have talked a lot about the conflict between Apple and Samsung. This battle continues adding rounds, and it seems that will not end in the short term because virtually every week we see new events. This time we find an abnormality that can harm Apple .

days ago, the apple had an injunction to block sales of Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Europe. By the time he had not found anything unusual, until an image appeared and comparative iPad tablet Samsung where you can clearly see that the latter was modified to resemble more Apple’s gadget.

id=”more-16513″>

photography (it’s listed at the beginning of the note) clearly shows that the 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab were cut to be almost the same level of 9.7 “iPad. Besides the two devices show an aspect ratio of 4:3, when in fact the tablet from the Korean company has a ratio of 16:10 .

There is no doubt that the image is not good for Apple in its lawsuit against Samsung. For now Asians have not said anything about it and maintains a strong expectation.

now have to wait, but surely the European authorities called to order the Cupertino and Freshfields Bruckhaus Derringer (his firm) to give explanations. For now I leave a comparative picture with the actual difference between the two machines:

has long Apple fight with other companies for the purpose of exercising ownership over the term App Store. There are already several corporations have been sued for using those words, but for now Justice is playing against him to the people of Cupertino.

In March this year the apple had accused Amazon of violating a trademark, because the popular online sales service has AppStore Amazon . To prevent that store discontinue using the apple name requested an injunction against the firm originally from Seattle, but the judge handling the case just deny .

This will put back into question the nature of the term App Store. It is worth remembering that a while ago Microsoft asked to delete the Apple trademark on that name has, arguing that it is a generic term that can not be possessed by a particular company

On this occasion the judge hearing the case denied the injunction against Amazon applying similar reasoning. Despite the complaints of Cupertino, the judge said that many software companies use the term App Store and therefore can not fail against the accused .

It is obvious that the legal battle does not end here, but Apple’s legal department will have to find new tools if you want to win this crusade because Justice is putting obstacles difficult to overcome .
