Looking At Gobe
mneptok writes: "OSNews is running a review of a beta version of Gobe Productive, the office productivity suite initially developed for BeOS by the former producers of ClarisWorks. The beta tested by OSNews is for Windows, but a Linux GTK (and that's toolkit only) version is planned for release after the Win32 version ships. A public beta of the Win32 version is imminent. Looks like a nice, affordable 'army knife' office app for Windows users, and a serious contender in the Linux office space." We had some coverage of this a while back,
I am going to kill my roommate. Calculus forever. Lum rules. Final Fantasy owns.
Yes dude, he didn't mention OSX ! OSX 0wnz j00!
Bravo! Bravo!
I want all the latest from the bail hearing and trial.
I don't think you can beat the poll - "Favorite 'Fill me up' port"
Kudos!
bwahahahah heh oh jesus that's the funniest thing I've read on Slashdot in a long-ass time. Thank you, Turd Report, for this awesome post. Do you mind if I email it to a few friends of mine? Unlike linux dorks, I actually do respect copyright.
MacLine just went under, according to The Register. There's a list of Apple UK resellers there too.
I was thinking the exact thing, but was wondering if I should even bother posting it. I think its pretty common sense, People dont like change, m$ owns the markets, tech slump, laws against competetion, etc..
The industry is in a rut, its m$ hardware, m$ OS, and m$ office suite. There are people trying to compete, but with m$ spending millions and new releases every couple months, it seems like an uphill battle. Soon as a new product comes out, M$ has a better product, or a Soon to be released better product.
Linux companies arnt making the money on support that m$ makes. M$ makes millions each month on support, and school classes alone. Many many companies with better products either go out of business or get bought up, to have its product shelved.
Really a sad state of affairs, Linux is so powerful, lots of opensource appications, games ported, but still the market is too small to keep in business.
I think maybe 10 years from now, Linux will be the best OS out, be able to run every application, run on every hardware, do any task. But we will be locked into some subscription model and security system that will lock us into m$.
It's being ported over. It's really small and cheap compared to other software (ahem, MS Office). It's a great licensing setup (fun for the whole family!) Oh, and it's barely even beta, NOT EVEN A PUBLIC BETA YET.
Ass.
its = possesive of it
it's = it is
Come on, putting in ' for contractions is not hard to remember...
Before you moderate this up, PLEASE check Angry Black Man's posting history, READ his posts, and check the links in those posts. You'll see that every one of them is an Adequacy-style troll.
Proof that Angry Black Man is a troll:
1. Most of his posts are crafted to look informative but contain gross factual errors that nobody could make inadvertantly.
2. Angry Black Man posted to the old Trolltalk.
3. Angry Black Man often goes for obvious karma-whores early in a story, such as copy-pasting kernel release notes.
4. Angry Black Man often lies about his identity and flat-out makes things up in order to deceive people.
5. Angry Black Man lies about his race -- he is NOT Black, he is a pasty-white Adequacy editor. Black people are not intelligent enough to use computers, so obviously he is not black.
Please send his karma to negro hell.
So censoring immature little children from the Internet does have merit, at least at this site.
Sorry, I fed the troll...
