Shop for music in Rhythmbox Ubuntu also says goodbye

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”41″>We seem

goodbyes lately. Which is now we the Ubuntu music store integrated into Rhythmbox , which will end with the release of Ubuntu 13.04, scheduled for nine days.

Ubuntu One Music Store 500x349La web music store in Rhythmbox Ubuntu goodbye too

The reasons for this change in the blog explains Canonical Ubuntu One and are not very difficult to understand: as traffic increases on the web shop , decreases in Rhythmbox. At the same time, they are two different systems, which saves more precarious maintenance.

That said you should know that not only music store in Ubuntu disappear from Rhythmbox 13.04, but so will Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 via update. So, the only way to acquire and listen to music by streaming is the web store, or applications for Android and iOS.

just because an invention that has lasted too long and that in its early stages caused a controversy over that, no, we will not remove.

DistroRank says that Ubuntu is still the most popular

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”51″>

You know that the statistics on the use of GNU / Linux have to catch them all with tweezers, and no better example of this than the figures offered DistroWatch, a site that directs major based distros to search on their page. Without wishing to detract from its value to DistroWatch, their statistics serve as timely curiosity, nothing more. And here comes into play DistroRank.

500x302 ubu DistroRank says Ubuntu is still the most popular

As we discovered in

Ostatic, recently has been born a new site that aims to specialize in measuring the use of GNU / Linux, DistroRank, each week presents the results of its findings both GNU / Linux to BSD . What how? As they explain (including method), the factors that enter into the calculation are:

  • Number of results in major search engines
  • Number of news published on the distro

    • Percentage

  • indicating server are running the distro

    • Percentage

  • desktop users who are using the distro report

you are (home, work, or both), you use the distribution and additionally if they like, a comment. With all that data, each bit is updated list , which is actually not one but two, which includes only the votes of visitors and makes the mean with all data (the latter is considered more reliable).

    The Open Source should “ignore” Stallman says developer sed and grep

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”36″>

    Paolo Bonzini , who had eight years to maintain the development of the popular GNU sed utility and GNU grep has posted a message on a couple of discussion forums in announcing that leaves these two projects, largely by their differences with Richard M. Stallman and the work of the FSF.

    The Open Source FSF 500x219 ignore Stallman says developer sed and grep

    Bonzini

    ​​explains that although 100% continues to support the philosophy of the Free Software Foundation, some of the decisions of this organization and its creator, Richard M. Stallman, have been the reason for his departure from the projects being carried. Your summary focuses on three points :

    1. “ The only way that GNU is a project leader in your field is to ignore any recommendations coming from the FSF “. Here he cites Bonzini programming standards of the GNU, which continue to recommend C over C + +, which has caused Bonzini as those standards “are completely obsolete.”
    2. “The GNU doing little for the FSF, FSF and GNU barely do anything “. Although free software has been a success, the FSF does not help some projects represent the “brand” GNU “, such as Gnash, who need financial support to prosper behind. Other projects “do not even exist, because it would require man-years of work, but people who want to get involved should do with their own money”.
    3. The label is no longer attractive GNU : “ GNU people expect it to be slow as an elephant “. The slow decision processes of development and implementation of the GNU prevents many projects progress as expected.

    Ponzini reasons are certainly very interesting for the simple fact from a developer who has spent 8 years as head of projects as relevant as GNU sed and grep, and would be interesting to know whether Stallman has something to say about it . So far I have sent mail to see if you answer and has something to say, but certainly the abandonment of Bonzini is worrying both for this work with no longer counted as those projects that have been reported issues of concern in the operation the FSF.

    Nintendo says Wii Mini constraints

    Nintendo devoted several years to the development, promotion and international launch of Wii U, but in the middle had time to create and present Wii Mini . The short version of the original console appeared in the Canadian market for the unusual price of $ 99. But every law has a loophole: The device does not provide web connectivity, SD card slot and compatibility with GameCube games.

    Nintendo of Canada came to the crossing of the negative reviews it received Wii Mini and gave their views on the decisions taken. Matt Ryan, director of corporate communications, spoke with Polygon and acknowledged that cutting was planned functions based on the price of the device .

    620x391 Nintendo Wii Mini Box explains the limitations of Wii Mini

    We want the system to be as accessible as possible and reach the widest audience. Delete functions helps us to keep costs under control. [...] When you look at the price and what you get for it, we are sure that is the correct turning point for Wii Mini is noticed in the market.

    Anyway Ryan says the price of the console is not the only thing salvageable Wii Mini. According to the executive, the device is designed for people who do not have the financial means to purchase the full version of Wii, and for those who already own a Wii but need another to use it casually.

    also said the lack of Web connectivity is because it is not necessary to enjoy most Wii games . “This system was not designed for players looking for an online experience” , said the manager of Nintendo. What do you think of the statement? Do you think Wii Mini can succeed in Canada or other markets we can get?

    Linus Torvalds says on UEFI

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”37″>

    MuySeguridad our colleagues say, the creator of the Linux kernel has stepped forward to enter the debate of course block the installation of alternative operating systems like Linux, the new computers with Windows 8 will include a type of ‘soft start’ in the new basic systems / O UEFI to replace the old BIOS.

    windows8 UEFI UEFI Linus Torvalds think about

    security system-in theory- prevent dual boot of Windows 8 and other systems as now happens , as the firmware and software boot process must be signed, as Microsoft to protect the entire Windows boot process 8 of the introduction of malware on it.

    Although Microsoft has indicated that the safe boot is a protocol for UEFI and not a function of Windows 8 and the original OEM manufacturers are free to activate or not so safe, worry-free community is remarkable, since several points is noted that more than security is to block alternative operating systems to Windows.

    Linus has expressed his views on this system, indicating that Fedora understands the position, which pays a license to provide support for these teams, but also believes that hackers eventually will overcome the barrier imposed on UEFI Linux distros. You have all the details in the original story, in MuySeguridad .

    Microsoft says Linux is no longer a threat

    first_main_article” class=”article readability=”42″>

    As our fellow MuyComputerPRO point, the last report submitted by Microsoft to the Commission on the U.S. stock market reflects that Linux system is no longer a rival to consider for Windows and Windows Live, they are Google and Apple platforms more direct threats, as well as “alternative devices.”

    linux windows Microsoft says Linux is no longer a threat

    “The Windows operating system faces competition of several commercial software products offered by companies rooted”, in the report.

    the 2010 report, Linux itself was included as a rival in fact, it was stressed that a free system and “partners such as Hewlett-Packard and Intel have been working actively with alternative operating systems based on Linux. “

    However, Linux stands out in the section devoted to servers , since large companies like IBM , Oracle and HP offer their own versions of Unix preinstalled on server hardware.

    So, Microsoft acknowledges that “virtually all computer manufacturers offer server hardware for the Linux operating system” and many of them contribute to their development.

And so the executives decided to apply lethal injection white MacBook, which is no longer available for sale to individual customers.

    Sony MiniDisc Walkman says goodbye to

    In October last year we talked about Sony’s decision to cancel the production of the legendary Walkman cassette (or tape, if you prefer), and now the same fate a his brothers: MiniDisc Walkman . The Japanese company announced that during the month of September will look closely at the production of this product.

    The reason for this death sentence is an open secret: the unpopularity of the device worldwide . Moreover, many do not even know the existence of this artifact so soon we will have to add it to the list of gadgets that promised to revolutionize history and eventually came to nothing.

    The MiniDisc Walkman first appeared on the market in 1992 but could not be established because of CD Walkman (known as “Discman”). With the popularity of Walkman cassette was descending the CD player in charge of the public love, leaving his little brother in ostracism.

    As you can imagine, the subsequent emergence of MP3 players was responsible for ending the boom times of the Discman. However, Sony announced that momentarily not interrupt the production of this traditional CD player, but will have to see how long argued this decision .

    In regard to the MiniDisc Walkman, soon will become a collector’s item for lovers of old gadgets. If you are nostalgic for the (incredibly far away) 90 years, you probably want to get yours before the Japanese corporation will apply the coup de grace .
