Why desktop Linux is its own worst enemy?
http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/20 ... rst-enemy/

The biggest problems Linux has in getting on the desktop are, in no particular order:

1. Linux, and most of the linux community, DON’T CARE if anyone else uses Linux, desktop or otherwise. Linux is there if you want it. If not, use something else. This attitude is a big part of the reason it’s not “taking the desktop”. Linux doesn’t need to “take the desktop”. Linux only needs to be the best operating system it can be for it’s users, and that is what it is.

2. *buntu. *buntu may be a great distro for some things, but it’s not the best foot to put forward to people who have never seen, heard of or used Linux before. By far. Yet somehow, *buntu is taking the linux world by storm, and preventing Linux from advancing in some ways even as it has Dell and others trying to do exactly that with it - put it on the desktop. I have said it before and I will say it again, *buntu is not the best choice for new Linux users. The best funded, perhaps… the most popular… the most discussed… but not the best choice for new users!

3. Too many distributions creates confusion. The biggest strength Linux has is it’s freedom, and a direct result of this freedom is the very diversity that has kept it from becoming a serious contender for the desktop. And this factor will never go away, because the very diversity that confuses and diffuses, also infuses Linux with the very diversity that keeps it alive. The freedom to create your own idea of the perfect distro (desktop, server, portable, whatever) is the lifeblood of Linux.

4. Good enough is good enough. Many people have no reason to use Linux because what they have and use and know “is good enough”. Even if it is crap from our point of view.

5. Different is scary. The same reason a lot of people stay in awful and miserable relationships, whether it be with their spouse or their Microsoft Mommy.

6. Geeks are just as clueless as Typical End Users. Yes, for the vast majority of geeks, there is no understanding the audience who we need to court in order to get a strong desktop presence. Typical End Users don’t care how whiz-bang the kernel is, don’t want to know how to install an OS, don’t know what the hell an OS is! They think Internet Explorer (or AOL) IS the “Interweb”, and they think Windows IS the computer. Expounding on all the “reasons” why Linux is superior don’t mean jack to them. Will it play their games, movies, songs, software, and videos? And why would they even bother worrying about it when “Microsoft XP” camme with their computer and, to their mind, works (no matter how much it is broken) as intended…

Gugl odustao od saradnje sa Jahuom


Kompanija “Gugl” odustala je od partnerske saradnje sa “Jahuom” u oblasti reklamiranja na internetu kako bi izbegla potencijalno “dugu pravnu bitku” sa regulatornim agencijama.

Sporazumom je bilo predviđeno da “Gugl” objavljuje svoje reklame na stranicama sa rezultatima pretraga koje obavlja “Jahu”, uz nadoknadu od 800 miliona dolaraJahu godišnje, prenosi Bi-Bi-Si.

Dogovor je prvobitno objavljen u junu, ali je naišao na primedbe zbog stvaranja monopolske situacije na tržištu.

“Jahu” je saopštio da je razočaran odlukom “Gugla” da odustane od pravne bitke pred sudovima.

“Jahu” se nadao da će posao sa “Guglom” donekle da ublaži nezadovoljstvo njegovih akcionara zbog odbijanja ponude “Majkrosofta” o preuzimanju ovog internet giganta.

“Gugl” je na svom blogu saopštio da ne želi da dozvoli da pravna bitka omete njegovu primarnu misiju donošenja inovacija u svet interneta.

Uprava “Jahua” nalazi se pod pritiskom od kada je odbila ponudu “Majkrosofta” o isplati 33 dolara za jednu akciju ove firme, koja bi, u tom slučaju, bila prodata za 47,5 milijardi dolara. Juče se “Jahuovim” akcijama trgovalo po ceni od 14 dolara.

Upravo sam pogledao sta ima na Wikipediji, i ako skrpis to sa linkovima sa dna stranice i ono sto nadjes na prvom linku kada otkucas u Googletu "Symbian white papers" trebalo bi da bude dosta.

Sto se tice "domacih jezika", moj prijateljski savet je da ubrzano pocnes da zaboravljas trazenje linkova na istim. Narocito ako si na ISiT-u. U ITu je engleski nesto sto se podrazumeva. A to da ponekad treba mnogo da se procita da bi pocelo da ima smisla i da moze da se poveze- to je tacno.

Majkrosoft nudi besplatan program za zaštitu kompjutera


”Majkrosoft” je objavio da sledeće godine namerava da ponudi korisnicima besplatan antivirusni softver.

Kompanija je saopštila da će program “moro” pružiti sveobuhvatnu zaštitu od štetenog softvera, uključujući viruse, špijunske programe i trojance.

“Majkrosoft” navodi da će “moro” biti fokusiran na “suštinsku zaštitu od štetnih programa” i da će biti dostupan u drugoj polovini 2009. godine.

“Novo rešenje, koje će biti ponuđeno korisnicima besplatno, biće sastavljeno tako da će koristiti manje resursa kompjutera i biće idealno u situaciji kada se koristi internet nižeg protoka ili slabije kompjuterske konfiguracije”, navodi se u saopštenju.

“Majkrosoft” je objavio da će 30. juna 2009. godine obustaviti prodaju svog aktuelnog programa za zaštitu kompjutera
