The youngsters become independent quickly. An ibex kid can jump on its first day of life, and it joins kid groups by the fourth week. Even at an early age, lambs and kids are agile and alert. Although they are weaned by four to six months of age, they remain with their mothers for at least a year." http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-goat_sheep.html Welcome to Intrepid Ibex Alpha-1, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.10.

Industry leaders to unify the Symbian mobile platform and set it free

Foundation to be established to provide royalty-free open platform and accelerate innovation. I'm not sure if this is a Political move that Symbian is taking becuase of the FUD/Fear from Google Android. The demand for converged mobile devices is accelerating. By 2010 we expect four billion people to have joined the global mobile conversation. For many of these people, their mobile will be their first Internet experience, not just their first camera, music player or phone. Open software is the basic building block for delivering this future. With this in mind, industry leaders are coming together to establish Symbian Foundation, to bring to life a shared vision and to create the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform - available for free. To achieve this, the foundation will unify Symbian, S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) software to create an unparalleled open software platform for converged mobile devices, enabling the whole mobile ecosystem to accelerate innovation.

Aladdin HASP is now Available for Linux

Aladdin Knowledge Systems, an information security leader specializing in authentication, software DRM, and content security, is including Linux support for its software- and hardware-based copy protection and licensing solution -- Aladdin HASP SRM. Software publishers developing products for the Linux operating system can now take advantage of cross-locking capabilities that combine copy protection, unmatched IP protection, and secure licensing using HASP SRM hardware-based security for individual keys or product activation in a network environment. It features a protection API and a Linux Envelope for automatic file-wrapping. Software developers currently using HASP HL for Linux will also gain a significant increase in security with HASP SRM. Although HASP products and it's essence are contracting with Linux and Open Source Spirit, but I'm glad to see all business applications are targeting Linux.

OpenSuse 11.0 GM

Image
The 11.0 release of openSUSE includes more than 200 new features specific to openSUSE, a redesigned installer that makes openSUSE even easier to install, faster package management thanks to major updates in the ZYpp stack , and KDE 4 , GNOME 2.22 , Compiz Fusion , and much more . On the Desktop Whether you use GNOME or KDE, the openSUSE 11.0 desktop is a beautiful experience. Users have the choice of GNOME 2.22, KDE 4, KDE 3.5, Xfce, and more! See the screenshot page for a in-depth look at the openSUSE desktop. GNOME 2.22 GNOME users will find a lot to like in openSUSE 11.0. openSUSE’s GNOME is very close to upstream GNOME, because Novell and openSUSE want to do as much work as possible in the upstream release. However, we do modify GNOME’s artwork to provide a unified look and feel for the distro. The default GNOME configuration, such as panel layout, is slightly different than “stock” GNOME, and the openSUSE GNOME team backports a number of bug fixes into our GNOME release to e

FireFox Number of Downloads in Africa,Reflects FOSS Penetration

Since it was the Day of FireFox download, and Since we presented a URL that shows number of Downloads per each country.

Now,Your code can run on GPU instead of the CPU

AMD is partnering with Intel to improve the way its graphics chips can handle physics and other scientific calculations. Well, sort of. AMD's actually working with Intel subsidiary Havok, which the chip giant acquired last year. Havok operates separately from Intel to develop its Havok FX physics processing API, which allows developers to code up such algorithms to run on GPUs (Grphical Processing Unit) rather than CPUs(Central Processing Unit). It's main rival was Ageia, developer of a similar API and a dedicated chip, PhysX, to run the calculations. Ageia, however, is now part of Nvidia, which is understandably playing down PhysX while promoting Ageia's software technology as a way of running physics calculations on its own GPUs. All this stuff is going to run on discrete graphics chips, so it makes more sense for AMD to partner with an Intel company, which isn't competing with it - yet - in the discrete GPU market. The partnership will ensure that Havok FX can take f
