After the VideoLAN project can submit a petition to Apple to remove the VLC for iPad / iPhone from the App Store due to error conditions GPL approximately two months ago. This claim is effective when VLC has disappeared from the App Store already.
However, removing the VLC does not affect the previously downloaded. For those who have not downloaded this point, it would have to rely on existing services such as Cydia.
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google says closing launches Chrome OS last week. This is important because Schmidt served as CTO of Sun's share ideas and NC (Network Computer) on 1997, which ended with failure. Return of the NC concept with Chrome OS it is very interesting. Listen to the full presentation. In video clips of YouTube.
Schmidt said that the launch of Chrome OS is on one of the most important day of his working life. Because it demonstrates the development of computer science that can change. Lives of the people. It is amazing that the computer has become complex. Chrome / Chrome OS that is easy for anyone. By 1983, he worked at Sun. And 3M introduced which means that 1 megapixel, 1 megahertz range is 1 megabit and his team have done a wireless computer disk. This is a new idea at that time. Schmidt talks about the emergence of the Web. In the beginning there was just as "information" but not a cloud computing later in the year 1997, it launched Oracle Network Computer, which is the same thing Google offered in Chrome OS. Schmidt tell you why the NC has failed, he said that NC was a computer problem look too complicated. But can not create applications with Web technologies of the period. Can not compete with applications created with Win32, OLE on the PC (including Mac). But Chrome OS is different for several reasons. First, the past 15 years of Moore's law allows the computer and 1,000 times stronger network also has a technology that makes AJAX web applications like Gmail has finally happened LAMP technologies that have encouraged me in the background. Schmidt said that these factors have resulted in Chrome happen inevitable and Sergey Brin and Larry Page have an idea precedes him in this matter. Both argue that the need to create a browser and operating system when Schmidt does not allow both of them secretly to hire engineers to work with Firefox Google. Which finally became a team developing Chrome. Schmidt told the world that we move from the disk in a reliable and unreliable network. A global network reliable and does not have the disk anymore and HTML5 to create full web applications occur. Google Chrome OS offers a third alternative than Windows and Mac. This is the way computer scientists saw 20 years ago, but are not true. When developers try to Cr-48 will begin to see its potential. And realize that this is only the beginning of a new era.

In the world of programming for the X Window login display manager is called by the case of Ubuntu (and Linux, GNOME, most lines), selected using a functional GDM. Ubuntu 11.04, but the plans are proposals to change the GDM is another program that is the reason LightDM LightDM smaller. Work faster. The number of code shorter GDM. In addition, the use of LightDM will also benefit the family of distributions call [U] buntu all, such as Kubuntu, Lubuntu because it has turned to LightDM all the same burden in caring for the code to. However, plans LightDM priority is low-priority behind Ubuntu 11.04, which may be offline. Source - Blognone, Ubuntu Forecast, OSNews.
Website The Register has to meet with Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun since 1985, until 2006, before Jonathan Schwartz came to serve and sell the company to Oracle in this year in an interview McNealy told the achievements and the failure of the Sun. The Sun is an important issue with open source. The Register asked the question that McNealy is the lessons learned from the mistakes of the Sun is what it is and McNealy said, "pampered shareholders before you always." The answer may surprise many people. Because the Sun itself is a great friend to the open source world, but always indicate the end McNealy of Sun may be pampered, community and trying to open source everything too much. He talks about the privileges of the Oracle in the Java and open source software at Sun. That we are a public company. Is required to answer the questions that will create maximum value to shareholders how And will create a working environment to employees how But when it comes to issues he identified as Sun Solaris is open source Solaris is too slow to Linux to dominate the software world is totally open. Rather than the Sun. The Sun's intention to open the left Wire SunOS Hall since the beginning, but AT & T to try to maintain their own source code. Sun and the exercise of Unix from AT & T to turn off the source. And spent many years Sun will also license the Unix and open source code has expired. If Sun can manage this from the beginning. Sun should share and do better in the world, Unix. There are other issues. In an interview four pages long. Mergers and consolidation, glorious history, as well as issues Microsoft and x86 if English is strong enough to recommend to read offline. Source -Blognone, The Register.
