Ximian has arrived at that magic moment known as Ximian Desktop 2, a major
new version of its Linux desktop software, which it claims has been installed
by 1.5 million users worldwide.
Desktop 2, positioned as an alternative to Microsoft, is supposed to have a
complete productivity suite, new useability features, a bunch of interface
enhancements and seamless Windows interoperability so organizations can
deploy Linux desktops in mixed Windows/Linux environments.
The company recites the all-important mantra about how this stuff is supposed
to "virtually eliminate the need for user retraining."
There's a Ximian edition of OpenOffice for Microsoft Office file-compatible
documents (Word, Excel and PowerPoint 97/2000/XP), one-click Windows network
navigation, and easier printer setup.
It also includes Ximian Evolution 1.4, the e-mail (POP, IMAP, and LDAP) and
personal in... (more)

AOL Time Warner Wednesday posted a world's record in losses - $98.7 billion
for last year - the single largest loss ever recorded by an American company.
It doesn't exactly take a mental giant to draw a connection between the loss
and the sudden resignation that same day of ticked-off AOL vice-chairman and
founder of CNN Ted Turner, the so-called "Mouth of the South," who's now
expected to make mischief and give AOL trouble from the outside. AOL is
apparently going to try to keep him on the board to rob him of some of his
sting. His resignation takes effect in May. The mother of losses included a
non-cash $45.5 billion write-down in the value of American Online, double
what was expected, coupled with a Q4 net loss of $44.9 billion or $10.04 a
share. The wags remarked that the total 2002 loss equaled the gross national
product of Egypt and twice the GNP of New Zealan... (more)
So Intel, Microsoft and now IBM Microelectronics can't find enough of an
Infiniband market to service and have dropped out for wide-scale lack of
interest. So what. Sun, Dell and IBM's server group effectively say it
doesn't matter and that they're going ahead with their Infiniband
implementations anyway.
Notice the absence of HP despite the fact that it's still on the Infiniband
Trade Association steering committee.
The threesome overcame their mutual disregard Thursday long enough to defend
the so-called "infinite bandwidth" scheme together, we suspect in part
because word of the defection of IBM Microelectronics is spreading, aided and
abetted by our coverage (CSN No 480).
Their defense came down to reiterating the sketchy Infiniband plans they've
articulated before.
Subodh Bapat, the CTO of Sun's volume systems products, said the three hoped
their endorsement ... (more)
I just uploaded a build of Flump (Flickr image downloader) that works with
the Linux alpha of Adobe AIR.

packaged Flump as an AIR 1.1 app.

CloudEXPO Stories By Yeshim Deniz  CI/CD is conceptually straightforward, yet often technically intricate to implement since it requires time and opportunities to develop intimate understanding on not only DevOps processes and operations, but likely product integrations with multiple platforms. This session intends to bridge the gap by offering an intense learning experience while witnessing the processes and operations to build from zero to a simple, yet functional CI/CD pipeline integrated with Jenkins, Github, Docker and Azure.
