Shuttleworth: Trust Us, We're Trying to Make Shopping Better

Posted by samzenpus on Monday September 24, 2012 @03:53AM from the just-go-with-this dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a blog post responding to the latest controversy over Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth says 'integrating online scope results' are 'not putting ads in Ubuntu' because the shopping results 'are not paid placement', but 'straightforward search results'. He goes on to explain his plans to make the Home Lens of the Dash a place to find 'anything anywhere'. Like a cross between Chrome OS's new app launcher, Siri and Google Now 'it will get smarter and smarter' so you can 'ask for whatever you want' it 'just works'."

Faster? Heh. You've obviously never tried Unity lenses.
