Puppy Linux founder releases Quirky 1.0

Is the Android truly open source?

When is open source not really open source? When it's an Android phone. OK, before everyone jumps all over me and screams, "Android is built on Linux!" and "It's more open than the iPhone!" let me say this: Yes, it is built on an open-source platform and it is, indeed, more open than the iPhone. But in the cutthroat world of mobile telephony, Google may have met its match with old-school behavior from telephone service providers and handset makers who aren't so keen on the "open" part of open-source. The Open Handset Alliance isn't so open, nor is it too much of an alliance among Android device makers. It is about handsets, though, so there's that.

Need desktop access over the Web? Try some Guacamole

A new open source project dubbed Guacamole allows users to access a desktop remotely through a Web browser, potentially streamlining the requirements for client support and administration. Guacamole is a HTML5 and JavaScript (Ajax) VNC viewer, which makes use of a VNC-to-XML proxy server written in Java. According to its developers, Guacamole is almost as responsive as native VNC and should work in any browser supporting the HTML5 canvas tag.

EULA for Opera Desktop Browser for Open Source Operating Systems

We released snapshot 6330 just minutes after I left the office on Friday. In my rush and because I wasn't certain if we were going ahead with a snapshot or not, I never told Haavard to draw more attention to the license. The big change is that it should make it easier for distros to include us in their online repositories.

Upgrading your distro should come with a warning

It's that time of year again when a lot of the major distros are putting out new releases, and people are clambering to get the new versions installed. But there are two camps of people in this rush to get the latest and greatest. The upgraders, who prefer to leave their computer as is, and hit the "upgrade" button, hoping to come back to their computers in a couple hours and revel in their shiny new OS. Then their are those who prefer the "clean install" by backing up any important stuff, wiping the drive, and starting from scratch. But is the upgrade method really worth it?

The first thing you'll notice with Google's new beta of its Chrome Web browser is that it's faster, much faster, than the last version. You don't need any fancy tests to see that. All you have to do is use it and you'll see that it blows other browsers away.

[I just upgraded Chrome on all my computers and I actually can see a speed difference, I'm impressed. - Scott]

4.4.3 Is Upon Us

KDE today released the 3rd monthly update to the 4.4 series, bringing a slew of bugfixes and translation updates to our users. Konsole has seen some love, so has Okular. Check out the changelog to get to know more about it. This release, as all our x.y.z releases (where z > 0) does not contain new features but concentrates on stabilizing the existing codebase. As such, the upgrade should be safe and painless, so we recommend updating to everyone running previous KDE SC versions.

ODF at 5 Years

Five years ago today, on May 1st, 2005 OASIS approved Open Document Format 1.0 as an OASIS Standard. I'd like to take a few brief minutes to reflect on this milestone, but only a few. We're busy at work in OASIS making final edits to ODF 1.2. We're in our final weeks of that revision and it is "all hands on deck" to help address the remaining issues so we can send it out for final public review. But I hope I can be excused for a short diversion to mark this anniversary.
