¿"Progress" in Canonical?
Canonical announces the news
The various studies of the processes of rationalization and modernization of society has been highlighted time and again, the fact that "progress" often leave behind items that communities were of great interest and functionality. Thus, the costs of progress were in some cases, so great for some people came to identify with the "return". It is not our case to speculate on this, however it is difficult to remember this kind of debate when the news has recently released Canonical. What do we mean?
Many will know that Ubuntu was initially a system that provided users with CD format and the possibility, free, welcome to install it on the computer of each user interested. This great service offered to people Canonical however, was discovering their own limitations as the phenomenon of hyper became increasingly important. The CD format as any "material", was a burden to the infinite flow of information flows that expressed the idea of network.
There had to wait so long to unsubscribe to this service and replace it with the offer of online system. Users can try the version 11.04 on a cloud. Read more

Between Wolfram Alpha and semantic web
The global consortium W3C is ready babel new step in HTML5, supported by Firefox 3.5 beta, Opera 10 and Safari 4 (IE 8 also may, and may) becomes unnecessary code flash plugin and maybe Silverlight / moonlight from the label <video/> (including all open and proprietary formats is the crux of the issue) and also support <audio/> , graphics from <canvas/> and even possible executions <command/>.

If you're legal, use Open Office
"This copy Linex Legal" is a slogan I use in his day the Junta de Extremadura to promote circulation and that could well be estrapolar to Open Office today. Gloger is gerund, I found this article on UbuntuArte . Take a look that is priceless
"A promotional message from OpenOffice, cites that 35% of software in the world are pirated or illegal, we asked whether our software is legal and clearly described Microsoft's strategy.
"After years of unofficially tolerating piracy as a means of securing control of the market, Microsoft is now conducting an offensive to ensure that copies of their software is legitimate:
* Just buy AssetMetrix, a software company specializing in detecting what programs we have installed in our PCs
* You are using the internet to install detection software copies of MS-Office on users' PCs.
* Throughout the world, the Business Software Alliance is organizing efforts to prosecute those who violate their conditions - for example in the UK offers great financial rewards to any informer who reports to companies that use pirated software.
* Microsoft itself admits that clients have difficulty understanding the complexities of software licensing - it's easy to accidentally break their conditions. "
Note that OpenOffice is a perfectly viable alternative, and further copies are legal and will not cost you money. "
The Catholic Church calls for fasting during Lent technology
Italian Catholic bishops have asked their parishioners to stop using both high-tech means such as appliances during Lent, thus giving from the Internet, email, SMSn among others.
This new type of withdrawal due to the care provided by their own religious hierarchy in relation to the use of technology and in some cases abuse the use of it. As an example, the Modena diocese have asked to abstain from the use of electronic messages on Fridays of Lent which ends this year on Sunday 12th April.
'' It's a small way to remember the importance of concrete and not virtual relationships [...] It is an instrument to remind us that our actions and lifestyles have consequences in distant countries. "
The day without SMS, and have called on Fridays of Lent joins the suggestion of the diocese of Turin, which suggested to his parishioners do not watch television during this period of time. Although there are more "suggestions": leave the car at home and bike or public transport, to refrain from throwing chewing gum on the street and start recycling waste; enjoy the silence in a week without internet and iPods.
But one thing is clear, and as stated by one of the priests of a Roman basilica, Giancarlo Angelo Andreis, "if technology is needed for work, meaningless (abstinence)."

The p2p slows upload speed Internet access
I guess many have imagined that one of the reasons why operators do not increase the upload speed of Internet is p2p networks.
In a somewhat more accurate reason in adslzone.net the problem, making it clear that the doubling in the rate of rise is an increase of more than double the traffic that networks have to endure. So it will be difficult for operators to change their policy.
