PygameAPI is an extension of SDL in python. You can create games quickly and easily using this. I recently created a repository on github named as ‘Pygame-Examples-For-Learning’ to motivate the learning of this API. This repository consists of various small demos (from hello world to the sprite demo). You can try out those using your own logic and can apply the same into large programs. It also includes a small 3 level game ‘Hungry-Snake’ . Just a contribution from my side to all the enthusiast learners out there (open source too) Play with the code to explore more. I will keep updating the repo in future also.

Puppy Linux is a lightweight distribution that is geared towards older systems. Just because it is a lightweight system, doesn't mean it can't hang with the big dogs.

Pear OS is a new Linux desktop distribution based on Ubuntu Desktop with the graphical installer. Its development started in early August 2011 by David Tavares (from France), and on August 15 2011, Pear OS 1.0, the first version marked “stable,” was released. The latest edition, release on December 14 2011, is Pear OS Linux Panther 3. Though a Linux distribution running the GNOME 3 desktop, Pear OS’s desktop is fashioned after Apple’s Mac OS X, and each major version’s code name is taken from the Mac OS release with a corresponding version number. So, “Panther,” the code name of Pear OS Linux 3, is taken from the code name of Mac OS 10.3.

Then along comes Apple’s Siri. Siri is a command-line interface that’s cool. We know it’s cool, because it’s made by Apple. But do we know it’s a command-line interface? In my view it is. The input method maybe by voice command, but the concept is still the same. Enter a command; generate output. The only real difference between the command-line and Siri, is the input method.

HP has taken some flak for suggesting it bought Palm so that it could build WebOS into PCs and printers, but positioning WebOS as a universal UI for consumer electronics is a good strategy.

Everyone loves using services like Dropbox or Boxnet. It's almost 2012 - everyone has some kind of Cloud (buzz buzz) storage! Half of us do have hardware laying around that we'd love to convert into our own 'cloud server' but never came across the right software. Instead we pay $9.99 each month to places like dropbox for 50gigs. Luckily, the people at OwnCloud.org have released their own open source software that works as a web app ready to help you store things, create bookmarks, keep a calendar, contacts, etc.. AND share it to anyone you want.. using YOUR hardware!

Amazon may dominate public cloud computing, but not amongst the Microsoft groupies. Microsoft has managed to be an end-to-end cradle-to-grave supplier within the data centre, and is attempting to extend this motherly embrace to the cloud with its Azure platform. Cracks have recently begun to show in this strategy, however, as Microsoft increasingly turns to open-source technologies like Hadoop to spice up Azure. Is this a stopgap strategy or a sign of a more open Microsoft cloud?
