musings

Linux Pro Magazine: "I was just wrapping up the final touches, indulging in the obligatory musings about how, these days, I hardly had to worry about GNU/Linux hardware compatibility -- when, suddenly, I found myself in undocumented territory."

Shantanu's Technophilic Musings: "I wanted to record calls on my Android phone (Nexus one). The easy way would have been to download an app but I like tinkering"

Ubuntu Musings: "Utilities. They're what help make computing a lot easier and more convenient, no matter what operating system you use."

Khaotic Musings: "You've probably caught up with the news that Microsoft is going to offer a version of Windows to the European market, without Internet Explorer pre-installed.

This seems to be a ploy that isn't making anyone happy."

Khaotic Musings: "She was quite surprised when I introduced her to that concept of open source software, and how it was merely an extension of, if not the Scientific Method per-se, then at least the underpinning drive and methodology of Science."

Khaotic Musings: "I can't say I share this surprise. At no point did Asus switch sides."

Khaotic Musings: "Many years back, when I had the time to make the rounds at various government education departments, I asked the brass why on earth they didn't charge software vendors (like Microsoft, Adobe et al) for software the government's schools put in front of students?"

Khaotic Musings: "I'm seeing a hell of a lot of babble about how Linux is 'losing the netbook market'. Well, frankly, there is no netbook market, not any longer."

Khaotic Musings: "In reality, the biggest single reason for the slower-than-expected uptake of desktop Linux is much more prosaic, and it has to do with human psychology, not inherent inadequacies within the operating system itself."
