happen interviews the creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, and this time the boys were TechRadar those who have made a meeting in which Linus have asked for some interesting questions, and above all the I did mention in my interview with Mark Shuttleworth: “Less is more?”. I mean, would not it be better fewer options

 Linus Torvalds Linus Torvalds 500x376: Some things would be simpler if there were no options

The interviewer asked him the same question, “Have you failed Linux on the desktop because there are too many options? “, something that Linus replied stating that the fundamental problem is that people do not want install anything, and manufacturers have Linux preinstalled in almost any case .

But then again on the subject when the interviewer makes a comment about PulseAudio, a system that gives perhaps too many options rather than a volume control with which all developers should provide support. Instead the complexity of PulseAudio has complicated their success and alternatives have appeared as Jack, not necessarily better or worse, just different. And that’s when Linus says “ Yes, some things would be simpler if there were no choice, I agree with you “.

The interview is interesting because it is very hot some issues such as the integration of Android in the kernel or the status of Secure Boot (which Linus has good review). Also think about the fact that you have a MacBook Air, which claims its hardware design is fine but “ with the hardware itself have often done some stupid things “. No further clarifies the concept, but the fact is that Fedora on your Mac Book Air .

The last question is particularly curious because the interviewer asks the same to all personalities ranging Linux to interviewing: “Linus Torvalds If you were, what would you change about Linux? ” , to which Linus replied “I would not change anything “.

Another feature debuting on YouTube can upload a custom thumbnail as soon the video starts to climb . Since April there was a similar possibility, but users had to wait until almost the end of the process to choose the image. From now have the opportunity to advance an important step and save time.

tag editor has also been updated and is much easier to use. To add keywords to a video you just have to write them in the box and separate them with commas or Enter key . All tags entered are highlighted with blue boxes that include crosses to remove them with a click.

Changes implemented by YouTube are simple but are of great help, especially for users who generate a lot of content through the site .

, the famous creator of Linux , known for his views without mincing words and fond lately to drop them into your Google +, has done just that, this time regarding Chromebooks Google , much to his liking except for the power thereof.

 500x357 Linuxworld The Chromebooks have their options, according to Linus Torvalds

Apparently, Linus takes home one of the first models hit the market Chromebook, which his family used as a shared calendar, to view directions via Google Maps and a little more, so decided to upgrade to the latest version of the system, which among other new features a traditional desktop simulation called Aura.

the new Chrome OS interface he liked Finnish engineer “ as a desk, it really does not look so bad. I could name worse desks “. And in case anyone expected examples, gives, as usual, full of irony: “(Chrome OS) allows radical concepts easily configure the mouse for things like how to launch applications. Things that GNOME has been removed because they were “very confusing “.

Thus, the creator of Linux you like the concept used by Google in its Chromebooks, although is unable to use due to low power , useless to build a development environment or a mediocre game “ is literally too slow to be really useful, even for web games like Bejeweled (I’m not talking Crysis!) “.

One of the criticisms it has received so far is Android instability image in the talks via video being made with Google Talk. This problem causes you “bob” on the screen, being more visible in the electronic tablets that incorporate Honeycomb.

But the people of Mountain View is committed to solve this problem and it will with the help of SRI International , a recognized nonprofit organization founded in 1946 as an area of ​​research belonging to Stanford University.

What do SRI will embed its software stabilization videos in the Google Talk app for Android 3.0 Honeycomb developed. The task of this program will recognize and “fix” the user’s face to stabilize the video before it is compressed for transmission. In this way the conversations through Images will run much more “gentle.”

For the time since Google announced that this improvement is only available in tablet version of its mobile operating system, although it later said that will enable the stabilization issues primarily for smartphones .

There is no doubt that it is very good news, and also makes it clear that the Mountain View not lag behind in the new competition being generated in the field video communications.

When you register in Bit.ly there were two possibilities: create a free account or try Bit.ly Pro . The latter (available since 2009) presented some unique features, but now the site’s administrators decided enable all options user free Pro accounts .

From now Bit.ly users will be able to access the features that once were available only in Pro accounts . The most striking is the role for creating a self to share the links . This is very popular among different personalities.
