Yeah, the same Android that brought back Motorola from the dead. Rather than blame the awful Motoblur for performance issues, the Android Market is being blamed. Way to go Sanjay Jha...you're a moron in the true sense.
+1, its the only distro that doesn't give up during boot and displays a blank screen, flickers after suspend to RAM (Ubuntu Lucid) and doesn't crash while working (Fedora 14).
They're deploying their huge cash reserve (approx 60Billion + or so) and utilizing some of the money back from the 30% app store cut, to subsidize the procurement of critical components. In short, they're ensuring that the competition doesn't get hold of flash devices, LCD parts etc by locking up suppliers by ordering in bulk. Its something like, they taking a huge hoard of cash to Sams Club and buying up everything...
Bubbles reminds me of the original vision for KDE4, except that "Bubbles" was/is referred to as "Widgets". Information flows to and from the internet into these "widgets" in the KDE4 desktop. They have stuff like Facebook/Twitter feeds directly accessible and writable through these widgets and something like an OpenSocial framework for social interaction. Not exactly the same, but the idea seems to be very similar to KDE4.
I wish him a speedy recovery as well. And wanna say this to him - "Get well soon, and see you in the market" when Google wipes off the smug air of superiority off i products.
I look forward to more hilarious stories on Lamebook...one receives a job offer through email from a prospective employer and it immediately gets posted on the user's wall...if your current boss reads it...you're out of the door..

I'm writing this on my Ubuntu laptop (corporate), my work systems are all Linux (Ubuntu, Mandriva) and I administer a large number of Linux systems deployed for mission-critical manufacturing test...oh my work is all on LabVIEW, besides using Linux for all "other" corporate work (I'm among the senior management at work)
I edit my pics with Shotwell and Picasa and drive the latest Honda to the local supermarket. I like to relax in the evening with some nice music and enjoy time with my family.
I use Linux to be productive and be happy. I dislike smug people who think that Linux users have little or no life. They're just trying to act intellectually superior compared to others.
Fedora's way too experimental compared to Mandriva. There's no reason for MDV to merge with Fedora as Mandriva has always been a lot more stable and conservative as compared to Fedora. What this fork needs is to bring something new to the table like sharpening their desktop focus by bringing in an attention to detail that was lacking earlier, longer support lifecycles (unlikely but is needed), bringing on board the excellent (but unknown) PLF repositories...officially etc. They're working on all of this...and many more.
This fork needs to survive...
Mandriva has (surprisingly) a very very polished GNOME distro...considering that they really do not have (had) enough manpower for GNOME packages as they do for KDE.
+1, I find GNOME to be highly configurable as well- more or less the same as that for KDE. Besides, GNOME has a better collection of theme engines (Murrine, Aurora, Nodoka) as compared to the KDE ones. When I say better, they're lot more polished and professional looking compared to anything out there.
I gave up trying to use KDE 4 from 4.4.x onwards. Its a huge pile of mess- especially the forced bundling of Nepomuk and Akonadi. Akonadi turned KDEPIM (a better PIM than Evolution) a big turd with countless memory/CPU hogging daemons flying all over the place. I saw a very sharp increase in CPU & memory usage because of Akonadi from KDE 4.4 onwards. And yes, plasma crashes...still, this is on the supposedly great KDE distros like Opensuse and Mandriva, not Kubuntu. A PIM is very important for me as I use Linux (exclusively) at work.
I moved on to GNOME, and I really like it. I'll probably never return back to KDE.
GNOME will happily run without Mono. Heck, even in Opensuse you can perform a "Mono-sectomy", remove F-Spot, Banshee, gnome-do, Monsoon (whatever that crap is) etc and still have a perfectly well functioning system.
I quit from being a vocal KDE4 supporter and moved on to GNOME with the KDE 4.4.x release. The forced Akonadi/Nepomuk/MySQL messup coupled with the perennially unstable Kontact made me throw up my hands in disgust. Why the fsck do I need 100MB+ of Akonadi/MySQL stuff (Nepomuk can be disabled, mercifully) just to run Kontact?
Besides, Kontact cannot seem to work properly with anything else other than itself. It cannot sync to Google Calendar, cannot sync to Exchange. Using KDE4 in a corporate environment as a desktop became a chore for me to do. I simply gave up and moved on to GNOME, where I am more than happy with its offerings.
Probably just an update manager then, if not a package manager, right? Linux-based systems have had this for ages. Microshaft now rolls out some fancy, business-jargon pimped up SCCM, Linux vendors should hit M$ over the head with this in the press and trade journals.

Get your grammar right before advertising your stuff (which you should not do) over here.

Zuckerberg the latest Steve Case? I think he's the latest "Head Case"

I hope that Icaza and his Mono-ilk will be finally transferred to Microsoft (as they've always secretly wanted to)...
The question is...what "IP" has been sold to Microsoft? Novell's sale has been widely expected for a long time now.

Nothing's stopping Ubuntu from taking the MCC code and using it for Ubuntu.

The same difference its between good (Mandriva) and bad (Kubuntu).
Mandriva as a distro is pretty much dead. Mageia lives on as the "new Mandriva". It will end up being a replacement and is not "just another distro"
That guy is Miguel De Icaza.
