[...] While we are delighted with the response to our integration with Facebook and Gmail, we are really disappointed by the decision of Twitter.

A similar situation was experienced with Tumblr to Instagram July purposes. The photo app also had to remove the feature to find friends through Twitter, generating criticism from many users. It should be clarified that the “lock” is limited to finding not affect users and content publishing to Twitter from Instagram or Tumblr .

FlashVideoReplacer we present a very interesting complement to Firefox to spend at least Flash video playback on sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe and Blip.tv and others. Along with the use of this supplement is recommended the Flashblock for better control of the media and, referring to the holder an option to consider.

277731352 45755ca21b Block Flash in Linux, one option to consider

the news report linked above Flasblock installed on my computer, an extension that takes a long time between us and probably many you use regularly, but not many others among which I include myself so far. And I have to say, the difference is overwhelming .

block Flash on Linux I do not mean not to use Flash in Linux, because despite the alternatives is more interesting for not being proprietary software for its efficiency, Flash remains almost indispensable for an experience Full web today (maybe tomorrow HTML 5 will make you forget us once and for all, we’ll see).

But despite what may seem annoying than having to click on each video, banner or web application in Flash to proceed to its reproduction, use a Flash blocker not only improves the performance of web browsing machine much improvement and the small but annoying errors breeding videos , for example when we click very fast on them and they collapse or the like (I guess there will be stories of any kind).

is why it may seem trite advice (actually it is), that blocker use Flash in Linux is a smart choice to which many seem to ignore it. Currently there are plugins for Firefox and Chrome / Chromium:

  • Flashblock (Firefox)
  • Flashblock (Chrome / Chromium)

    One of the questions evolved during the discussions was “Android does the same?” . The answer is very simple: Yes and no . On the one hand, the mobile operating system Google location information obtained from users, although this feature can be disabled and is visible from all .

    id=”more-14736″> Mountain View released a statement to clarify how your tracking mode , and also explained how information is stored in their databases. According to official explanations stored data are anonymous and there is no way to associate a specific user .

    However, a Wall Street Journal report indicates that in fact did data are collected in relation to each particular phone . But since Google said they are not associated with the IMEI or other data on the smartphone or the owner. Anyway there is always some reluctance on these issues.

    So if you use a phone with Android and want to disable the collection of location data just have to look into the settings menu . They will find the options needed to maintain their privacy as possible (at least as far reaching possibilities for users) .

    This week has proven to be one of those in which some news leave you somewhat misplaced, with the view a bit scattered, and despite the fact that Ubuntu has not been featured in any of them, appears now to finish the play with Unity 2D.

    Unity2D

    Everything stems from Unity, the new Ubuntu desktop interface as you probably know that can not be used without 3D acceleration, or what is, without proprietary drivers installed video card. Apparently, that same uneasy question Ask a Ubuntu user, and was the same Mark Shuttleworth who responded to the unexpected “announcement” Unity 2D .

    Canonical realized the problem long ago and that GTK + 3 was not the solution, but Qt , the library based projects such as KDE or MeeGo SC, and with that along with QML has written this 2D version for computers that use free drivers instead or do not support Open GL requirements of Unity.

    relevant information you will find in this news Bill Filler’s blog (linked by Mark Shuttleworth in his response), software engineer and engineering manager for Canonical addition to overall responsibility for this development . An extract from his words:

    The main objective is to provide Unity Unity 2D hardware platforms that are not compatible with the requirements of Open GL. Many ARM platforms fall into this category, as well as Unity 2D Unity extends to a whole new set of platforms.

    The software is implemented using Qt 4.7 More QML for parts of the Unity user interface, while still using the existing components of Unity, as indicators, bamf, dee, uTouch and places. In its current state, many of the features of the Unity of Maverick already been applied (exposure, places, pitchers or panel) and others (uTouch, workspace switcher, the accordion effect, etc.) landed in the coming months. We have made a major effort to try to match as much as possible with the visual style of Unity, Unity so that 2D has the same look and feel of Unity. Is installed in its own session so that you can live next to Unity, Gnome, the session of favorites, etc. ..

    Then

    Unity 2D images :

     unity-2d-desktop3
    Unity 2D

     unity-2d-apps
    Unity 2D – Applications

     unity-2d-files
    Unity 2D – Files and Places

     unity-2d-panel
    Unity 2D-Panel

    responsible for uncovering all this news in the information environment have been WEB UPD8, who have recorded the following video 2D Unity in Action :

    You can test

    Unity 2D installing Ubuntu 10.10 from its PPP (keep in mind that these are daily compilations, so can be unstable and even leave you with no desk, “ARE warned ):

    Well, the possibilities that may arise from this are at least interesting . And I start to ramble because it would be too;)

    What do you think?
