Canonical has revealed a new Ubuntu TV concept as CES. The TV will have easy integration of broadcast, online services and applications and will also support a range of other devices like tablets and phones that can serve as second screen for content viewing.

That’s my prediction. Of course, the truth of the matter is that KDE 4.2 (trunk) flat out rocks today. Seriously. I have never been more excited about the Linux desktop than I am right now.

When a developer creates a new application, he must start writing it very early in the Ubuntu development stages to be able to get his application in the official Ubuntu repositories (Universe) or else the only way he can provide that application to the current Ubuntu release is through a PPA - which is not easy discoverable by the users.

I was interested in using rollApp for two reasons. First, it seems to provide a neat way to access those few Windows only applications that Linux users occasionally need access to. Although the functionality to upload an application and make it available through the rollApp infrastructure is not currently available, it is going to be a large part of the attraction of the service.

The developer program is turning out to be bunch of hype for something stupid. The restrictions on what your application is allowed to do is total, laugh-out-loud, crap.

I was initially excited about the SDK and developer program for the iPhone. I was willing to live with Apple being only distributor of Apps and getting a cut of the profits. I was willing to live with an entrance criteria to get into the App Store.

Cloud computing provides a lot of great experiences, but being in control of your cloud applications and hosting your own gives end users the benefits of cloud applications, and security of controlling their own data and using open-source software!

KDE 4.1 was finally released to the public today. After all the controversy since the release of KDE 4.0, I'm happy to announce that KDE 4.1 simply rocks.

These days, everybody is talking about cloud computing, and many people use it in one form or the other. But popular cloud computing services are provided by a third party, which means that you store you data on a server somewhere, so that you can access it any time, from anywhere. But there are cloud applications that any person can use to host their own private cloud, from their home.

Out of nowhere, an independent software developer has produced his own fast and fancy netbook operating system. It promises lightning boot times, an iPhone-esque icon-studded interface, modern cloud apps. The secret ingredient is Linux.
