    For a dead operating system there are some exciting advancements coming out.

  2. Patent Violations Galore by aardwolf64 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm pretty sure that video broke 2-3 patents that were just granted to Apple. Apple should totally sue them and take 10% of their revenue from selling downloads of Ub... Nevermind.

    Just do like I do. All your files on your desktop. :-)

  5. Re:But Linux on the desktop is dead. by DrgnDancer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, hey, look... An article. I just sort of watched the embedded video and assumed that was the whole thing. That answers more of my questions, and also tells me that this isn't quite what I was looking for. What I really want is an iPad style device with a full OS on it. I want the full OS to have UI optimized for the small screen real estate (which it looks like this Ubuntu WM is). This is definitely getting there, but I want a different form factor and a much larger gesture library. Maybe in a year or so then...
