New Google Apps For Linux Coming

techoon writes "The goal of the Google Linux Client Team is to develop Linux desktop applications, such as the official Linux versions of Google Earth and Google Picasa. This team made an interesting splash during a presentation at the first-ever Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, which they had kindly hosted at their Mountain View campus. The Google presenters claimed some 'significant accomplishments' and other new Google desktop applications coming out this year for the Linux platform."

TFA is spam??

[bcrowell]

What the heck? I clicked on the link to TFA. It sent me to a page at techrythm.com, where there is an extremely short article, giving hardly any more information than the slashdot summary. In it are a lot of links double-underlined in green. When I move my mouse over the links, I get an ad floating around. When I click on a link, I go to some lame spam page that doesn't seem to have anything to do with what the link claims it is.

Sorry about the reply-to-self, but considering how incredibly annoying and misleading these adbrite ads are, I thought some slashdotters might be interested to know that adding http://*.adbrite.com/* to your adblock patterns seems to get rid of them completely -- the spam links don't even show up with the double underlining, which I imagine is because they're being inserted dynamically by a JS script served up from an adbrite server.
