Up until this year, I had only attended the Ohio LinuxFest being lucky enough to live in its host city of Columbus, Ohio. The Ohio LinuxFest is an awesome community driven event that amazes me every year it’s run. However, in 2010, I will be attending both the Ohio LinuxFest and the second year of [...]

SpiderOak Cloud Backup Review
Backing your data up to the cloud and living out of the cloud is all the rage. SpiderOak cloud backup has a lot of features that I have been looking for in an online backup solution. First, to get started with SpiderOak, you need to download the software for Windows, Mac or Linux and install [...]
Ubuntu One Music Store Now in Public Beta
For a long long time, Linux users never really had a built in music store like Mac and Windows users do. That all changed today IF you use Ubuntu, specifically the 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” Beta 1. The service is run by 7digital in the US and pretty much everywhere. Songs are 320 Kbps MP3′s with [...]
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS “Lucid Lynx” Preview
Spring is in the air! The trees are budding and the flowers are starting to come out of their slumber. It also means that it is time for another release of the desktop oriented Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu will frequently produce what is called a LTS or a Long Term Support release. That means unlike non [...]
Qi Hardware’s Ben NanoNote: A Completely Open Source Pocket Computer
Imagine not only building your own computer, but making the boards yourself. Yeah, it’s not something the common person would do, but Qi Hardware’s Ben NanoNote is open in a way most hardware isn’t. This is a similar model to the OpenMoko Freerunner and has been started by former members of the OpenMoko team. Not [...]
Netbook OS showcase, linux options priced right
The open source community has been hard at work releasing a wide assortment of free linux based operating systems for almost anything. Linus Torvalds is known as the father of Linux after writing the first kernel in 1991, everything afterward is a result of his quest to be free. In fact, all these (linux) operating [...]
Always Innovating Touchbook to Support Android and Ubuntu and More.
To refresh your memory, the Touchbook is a ARM based device that has been released that has Linux installed on it. It was their own version of Linux called AI OS. However, today I noticed the Always Innovating site has been updated. The Touch Book comes with an optimized home-made Linux-based OS. Guided by openness [...]
The first ELSE is the First ELSE
Engadget and Gizmodo covered it back in October as the “surprisingly not-sad fate of Palm OS”, and we seem to be one step closer to seeing the Linux-based First ELSE come to market. The hardware is certainly sexy enough, and the little bit that I have seen of the OS appears to be slick and [...]
XBMC Project Releases Version 9.11 ‘Camelot’ Xbox Media Center
XBMC is a full screen media center program similar to Apple’s Front Row, Windows Media Center, and Moovida. XBMC started out running on hacked versions of the original Xbox hardware. However, as the years have progressed and the original target, the first generation Xbox got old, the project ported the interface to Linux, Windows, OSX and [...]
Android has Steam Rolled Maemo and Nokia
Nokia had a chance. They had a huge chance. Nokia was the first to have a easy to use version of Linux on a portable device. Since the N800, people have been wishing and pleading with Nokia to release Maemo on a cellphone. Instead, they wasted time. They brought out the N810 and while it [...]
New Motorola Android Devices Spotted and Photographed
I was perusing my feeds at the start of lunch, and I came across a new Motorola Android device on Phandroid. Boy Genius Report says that it has a 8 Megapixel(!!) Autofocus Camera with LED flash, 3.8 inch display and a 800 MHz Processor. From the pics, it has a Droid like appearance but is [...]
Droid on T-Mobile in the US?
I’ve been reading up on the Droid release, and I came across a post on TheUnlocker.com who have learned from Tmonews that an internal web page has been found indicating that the Motorola Sholes and Sholes tablet will both be coming to T-Mobile. No word on when it is going to get to fans of [...]
Local Media and Bloggers Noticing the Droid
How often do you hear a phone from Verizon getting play on local media? The Droid is definitely getting that here in Columbus, Ohio. WBNS 10 TV is running a story about it on their site. I find it a little interesting that they say the Droid has thousands of applications, while ignoring the fact [...]
Tuxdroid the Open Source Robot Review
I have often wanted to buy one of those Ambient Devices Judie blogged about a few weeks ago. I’ve also wanted a Nabaztag as well, since they are cute and can do some really cool stuff like play mp3 files or provide e-mail alerts. I don’t want either anymore, thanks to kysoh.com who sent me [...]
Tux Droid: a Nabaztag for Linux Geeks
Kysoh.com has released the new Tux Droid 2.0. Tux Droid is essentially a Open Source Nabaztag that looks like Tux the Penguin (Tux was originally designed as the Linux mascot by Larry Ewing). The Tux Droid is wirelessly connected to your computer via its cute fish shaped dongle, which has a striking resemblance to Tux [...]
