The Great Austin, Texas Linux Radio Advertising Campaign
…Microsoft Windows 10. The message? Why all the babies? Because…
“These kids will grow up with Windows 10.”
It’s looking like Windows is not being prepped to evolve for these kids. It isn’t going to evolve using the normal release numbers or titles…Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8.1, 10. Windows is going to stay at this final iteration “for the kids.” Why those kids? Those kids will be shelling out the money for a subscription model that Microsoft will be deploying soon.
Well, you know what? Good for them. They will finally have a solid code base to incrementally make better, more stable and an absolute unchanging target for hackers and other bad guys. Heck, let’s give them credit for something. Two out of three ain’t bad. Good luck to you Microsoft. May our babies grow up needing to remember passwords. Sheesh, touting a cloud service to manage your passwords. That’s dumber than a shovel-struck mule. And facial recognition/iris scanning? If you are counting on that for a password, for Pete’s sake, don’t use the software the major banks are using.

If Amazon Web Service (AWS) had gone down on Monday, September 21, morning, instead of Sunday, September 20, people would still be screaming about it. Instead, it went down at 3 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) and barely anyone noticed.

Voice of the Masses: Should we recommend “advanced” distros to newbies?
If a Windows user is considering switching to Linux and asks us to recommend a distro, we typically roll out the usual desktop favourites: Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSUSE and co. But is this actually the best approach? One Reddit user recently described his experiences when switching from Windows to Linux, and after battling problems with the newbie-friendly distros, he actually had the most success with Slackware.

Creator CI20 - Debian 8 beta image
I purchased the original MIPS Creator CI20 and the Raspberry Pi 2 on their release. The CI20, manufactured by Imagination Technologies, had many attractive selling points, not least its built-in connectivity (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), its good hardware specifications with 1GB DDR3 SDRAM, 8 GB flash memory, and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. However, the CI20 has not been, to date, a commercial success like the Pi 2. With so many units sold, the Pi 2 has built a huge community base, driven by some excellent distributions with successive updates. A revised Creator CI20 was released in May, and has an improved layout, but its enhancements were still overshadowed by the slow pace of software development.
