Linux’ Humor/Conky
August 22, 2008
Been playing around with Conky and had this text in the terminal:
Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none. ‘yes’ seems to be some form of ‘true’, so defaulting to right.
Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting
benjamin@moser-linux:~$ conky
Conky: desktop window (c000d1) is subwindow of root window (52)
Conky: window type – normal
Conky: drawing to created window (2e00001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer
Conky: received SIGINT or SIGTERM to terminate. bye!

Photosynth- Create 3D environment with Photos
August 21, 2008
Last night Microsoft launched Photosynth, a new imaging tool that allows the home user to create 3D images by mashing together multiple images of the same thing from different angles and perspectives. You can then zoom in, zoom out, spin stuff around, and check it out at all different angles. It could be a pretty cool thing as long as Microsoft doesn’t ruin it by keeping it too “Microsoft”.
Photosynth Allows More Boobs in Your Face | Buzz Pirates
From the Website:
Unfortunately, we’re not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.
Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site.
I mean, i knew that its a MS Product and they dont support other systems, but at least the could mention Linux also.
USB 3.0… the super-speed high performer is born!! – TechPedia
August 19, 2008
Yes you heard it right… Gone are the days of the USB 2.0 and in comes the super duper USB 3.0 as Intel officially published the specifications for the next generation of USB’s – the USB 3.0!!
With the version 0.9 released lately, vendors can work on improving the interoperability of their USB 3.0 hardware.
USB 3.0 is an evolved version of USB 2.0 that adds up things to take the bandwidth up to 4.7Gb/s…
However Intel isn’t the only company developing USB 3.0 as other big guns Texas Instruments, Microsoft, HP, NEC working on this standard.
There would surely be loads of free upgrades and facilities as this new standard initially hits the market, as in case of every software!
The USB 3.0 is expected to be the best in business by 2010.
Don’t worry there’s nothing wrong with your eyesight it is indeed 16GB RAM!!!… Dell is all set to unleash a powerhouse workstation notebook for high-end users! This 17-inch laptop will be very handy while performing graphics-intensive tasks like animation, video editing etc… Check out this hefty notebook from Dell!
This amazing extremely high performance machine from DELL featuring 16GB RAM would be a hell of a portable device, however there’s no word on whether it’ll be latest generation DDR3 or standard DDR2.
Nothing much is known about this fascinating machine as of now, except the fact that it comes in an orange, anodized aluminum chassis, accompanied by upcoming Intel quad-core processor, 1Terabyte storage (on two drives) and 1GB graphics card!!!

Windows Users! No longer to fear about setting up a new OS. Using Wubi you can install Ubuntu just like a usual Windows Program.
ZDNet “The Wubi installer is as simple as it can be.”
Ars Technica “The installer is trivially easy to use and works just like a regular Windows installation program.”
InfoWorld “Installation itself may be Hardy Heron’s biggest revelation. This release offers a new, optional installation utility called Wubi, which promises to lower the barrier to entry considerably.”

Is Compiz-Fusion A Good Reason To Try Linux?
August 10, 2008
Theres more than just eyecandy:
It All Started With Compiz. The very first time I took what was then known as Compiz for a spin on Dapper, I could not get over how cool the experienced seemed. But after a few days, then weeks, then months, as I upgraded to Edgy, I opted to take something known as Beryl for a spin. It was supposed to have some of the cool features offered by then Compiz, but with even more effects and eye candy.
As of just last month, I finally decided that I had enough of the ’special effects.’ My reasons were many, but the two most important ones were as follows. I run a help site for beginners looking to migrate away from Windows over to numerous flavors of Linux. Growing tired of the same questions related to the same problems, I decided that it was time for me to lead by example. I needed to make running Metacity (GNOME) cool again, without the compositing, cube spinning, and problematic silliness.
[...]
To be clear, I believe you should be using Linux for intelligent reasons: secure, free and customized to suit your needs.
