Great work guys! Getting closer to other CMS‘s like Drupal everyday.
Well, there is a good news for those who are Free and Open Source Lovers. WordPress has finally implemented the Free formats for audio and video. That means that it can play Theora and Vorbis files. What I like the most is that the Administrator can choose just to play the Free video and audio formats. It is located on the user’s dashboard under settings media. There is an option just to choose that.I do not know when was the time that this wa … Read More
A well-known cryptographic attack could be used by hackers to log into Web applications used by millions of users, according to two security experts who plan to discuss the issue at an upcoming security conference. Researchers Nate Lawson and Taylor Nelson say they’ve discovered a basic security flaw that affects dozens of open-sourcesoftware libraries — including those used by software that implements the OAuth and OpenID standards — that are … Read More
Interesting isn’t it? One one end Apple is criticized for created a closed system like the iPad that doesn’t allow many things. Like 3rd party compliers, jailbreaking, or common I/O like USB. On the other hand, it’s not secure enough, because there isn’t an easy way to control or limit what applications can be installed. So it just goes to show you that no matter how thoughtful the design, options allow customization to further drive sales.
Imagine if they allowed an Open Source model. What would that do for adoption rates? It would allow 3rd parties to create the software that would allow this market segment to be addressed. This is not the Apple way, but it does seem to be the way that society is moving towards.
Security concerns may hinder the iPad’s entry into the workplace. Picture: Reuters AS consumer demand for the Apple iPad continues to grow, the device’s widespread infiltration into the corporate world could still be a few years off as security concerns scare away big business. Apple has sold over three million iPads worldwide since launching it in April, but concerns about the lack of security built in to the device is hindering its success in t … Read More
S/PDIF – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. You sometimes run into this with laptops or stereo equipment. Kind of cool the protection that the TOSLINK connector provides.
At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology.html … Read More
It costs the same at $180 but has some features that the Apple Extreme doesn’t have. Linksys E3000 Review: Still a Lot of Router has an in depth review. Isn’t competition great?
Do you have the experience when you watch flash video that audio will layer mutliple times with a slightly time delayed audio track? It happened to me both on Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10. It is on an older Dell laptop. Is this a weakness of the driver or badly encoded video? It seems to happen at http://colbertnation.com but not at http://thewb.com. Yes, my show choices might be questionable.
Dan Gillmor at Salon.com: I'm not religious about technology. My strategy is to use what works best, period. This is why, for more than a decade, I've been using a Mac as my primary computer (and had been using Macs for some of my work long before that). Apple's personal computers continue to be the best combination of hardware and software on the market today. So why am I about to migrate to Linux (aka GNU/Linux)? Because Apple is pushing me awa … Read More
With free software like this, is QuarkXpress and InDesign doomed?
QuarkXPress, a commercial program for creating and editing pages, was part of my former life as a newspaper reporter/editor for more than 15 years. It is a fantastic program: powerful, easy to use and versatile. Using Quark, I could whip together a good-looking newspaper page in about 30 minutes. Since leaving journalism, I’ve been struggling with the software now available to me as a student: Microsoft Word. It’s fine for writing, but I find lay … Read More
With the recent release of Steam for the Mac, the platform is receiving some great press for becoming a far more usable gaming platform. But what if your Mac isn’t quite powerful enough to run the latest releases? Or maybe you don’t have the money to splash out on the latest blockbuster titles? Today we’re rounding up over fifty games in a variety of genres, ranging from shooters to strategy. Best of all, they are all completely free. Who said th … Read More
Probably developers and system administrators need this tool the most.
I'll talk a bit about …. Dtrace That it? A wonderful tool that has the OpenSolaris to monitor your entire system .. How so? DTrace is intended to monitor everything, when he said, is all the same, on your computer, what programs open (that's already doing it or other OS software), network status, hardware, file behavior, attendance, monitor what's Threads system are running, are in the queue, which will still be called (I want to see an OS or p … Read More
So in this article it argues that Apple can blunt the competitions greatest advantage by opening up the iPhone. Like that is likely to happen. Apple still likes to do things their own way. As much as they tout the Open Source technologies built into Mac OS X server, they cripple them by moving file locations and changing the standard Unix structure. In that way they are like Microsoft’s old “embrace, extend and extinguish” strategy.
I learned many authoritative things in this fun animated video. Very entertaining and I think it helps visual learners in this format. You can go here to watch it, or watch it below.
This article gives some recent decisions by Sony that would have been unthinkable in the past. If they are going Open Source they have a tremendous amount of hardware out in the world that could transform people’s lives. It would enable people to afford buying a Mac computer, or keeping a Windows computer working. I think it would also destroy marginally creative manufactures like Dell/HP.
I have used most of these tools and they work great. Very useful when you don’t have the hardware like a protocol analyzer to find out whats happening on the network.
Hey everyone. In case you were wondering I have been focusing on Open Source more lately since many companies I’ve worked for in the past looked at it to conserve capital. You probably know that Mac OS X has more than 200 Open Source projects in it. So you can see what a great value Mac OS X can be as a development and business platform.
Still it helps to know as much as you can about your field. So if anyone has any questions about particular things they would like to see, please feel free to let me know. I think that the most interesting, helpful things are the ones I should focus on. Time is so precious! I don’t want to recreate the wheel.
