Well, well, well what we have here. Yes, the above screenshot is from the Ubuntu website, which means that (most probably) Canonical will announce a tablet OS based on their amazing and powerful Ubuntu operating system.

Looks like Canonical is trying really hard to get into the mobile market, as they are now teasing us with a countdown (20 hours left at the time of writing) for a supposedly tablet operating system powered by Ubuntu, on the Ubuntu.com website.

Now that Ubuntu Phone OS a.k.a. Ubuntu OS for smartphones will be out for download this Thursday, February 21, Canonical thinks it’s time to work on a more advanced Ubuntu operating system, this time for tablets only.

Wait! I'm out of the loop for a couple of months, and this happens?!?!

Ok, what do we have happening now?!?! ...

Ubuntu phones/tablets, headway being made against UEFI secure boot lock-in, (unsubstantiated) rumors of MS Office for Linux, Dell releasing a Raspberry Pi-like device (come Summer),... W-T-H?!?!

... I guess I should get a divorce and have my whole life come unraveled and put back together more often... Well,... Just kidding,...

Anyway,... I'm Baaaack!
Thanks ladies... Oh,... and By the way,... Trying to convert the new girlfriend to Linux,... Already have her on an Android phone & she's intrigued to try a full blow distro,... (And, No,... She's not the reason for the breakup of my marriage,... met her afterwards). So, I'm doing my part in building Double-X chromosome support for open source... [winks])
