  1. its something like erm ... on Gartner Touts Web 2.0, Scoffs At Web 3.0 · · Score: 1

    its something like erm ...

    Web 3.0 technology suggests:

    well yes! thats the word I am looking for

  2. Getting better ... on GNOME 2.20 Released · · Score: 1

    I can see some originality in the UI now, the theme is quite good. But I still think it needs a lot of work (things look very sparsely placed sometimes) Bluecurve was brilliant in that respect.

    Only, I think the taskbar on top is something copied.

  3. Star Trek as the trigger for few inventions on Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week · · Score: 1

    I am not a ST fan, but yep thats what most of the inventors admitted.

    Imagining that such a high speed is achievable,
    don't you think, there needs to be a look-ahead and clearer which would clear space debris.

  4. Digital vs analog on FCC Says Analog TV Lives Until 2012 · · Score: 1

    For TV
    Digital (unless HD) Analog

  5. It starts with the hardware ... on Sun Acquires CFS/Lustre, Becomes Windows OEM · · Score: 1

    It starts with the hardware,
    who knows probably a few weeks later we might see a new prog. paradigm .JET

  6. lighter perspective on The Morality of Web Advertisement Blocking · · Score: 1

    after some days ...

    Okay .. okay,
    you can block my advert. but please atleast accept my cookie

  7. cough erm ... MS office wins on Word 2007 Vs. Open Office 2.3 Writer · · Score: 1

    I am a little biased towards the OSS and Linux, but this time,
    its competition with one of the best software MS has got.

    - OO mainly has disadv of being a little heavy (because of all the features (which is good));
    - MSO is a bit lightweight and thus more handy
    - MSO is more stable as compared to OO

    One could work very well even without MSO (its just a matter of personal preference)

  8. 4 points on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    -> Better support for hardware, its better from where I have seen, but it could get even better

    -> User interface, The current user interfaces heavily imitate existing ones. There should be more originality in the user interface, some innovative designs of doing simple things.
    Also things like GNOME / KDE do not give a sense of a complete package, there is little something missing here and there. But we are getting there ...
    Konqueror is a very good 'explorer', still there is no such thing as the simple 'Windows explorer'

    -> Better package managers, even more abstracted installers as simple as double-click install

    -> More Stability, I think thats the only reason why people opt for Unix

    All said and done, kudos to all the linux devs for putting Linux as a viable alternative in the OS soup.

  9. Thats good on Microsoft Axes 'Get The Facts' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its nice to see some competition, that raises the level of the product
