Controversy over the closure of Android 3.0 Honeycomb for tablets
Android 3.0 Honeycomb
The figure of the open source system has awakened from its inception, countless fantasies and desires of the users of cyberspace. Does the realization here and now of the liberal ideals of democracy? Is the possibility of giving subjects the coveted right to participation and creation? Is the universal gift of individual production? When Android was designed, there were not listening to these questions, and keep coming up today.
With the news that Google clausuraría the open source Android 3.0 Honeycomb to not experience the same on the outside of the platform that was originally thought (tablets), all these desires seem to collapse at the mere factuality of economic power . Google agents have justified the decision with the strange argument that the results of rampant experimentation with Android out of the tablets, for example: mobile-were "unpredictable."
Not the first time the inclusion of people into a right to participate freely in a content is then hidden by the detrimental effects that such inclusion would bring to the ultimate goals of any company. However, this phenomenon, which should not make a dramatic reading or fatalistic, it does tell us of a certain naivete that is distilled from the questions above. Read more

By being open and free, Android provides users with an infinite range of combinations that will multiply without limit the number of applications.
Moreover, to rely entirely on Google, Android enables users to experience hyper-radical, an experience that is being sued by each and every one of the users that are part of the virtual customer community.
LiMo and GNOME are associated
The mobile Linux industry consortium, the LiMo Foundation , has agreed a partnership with the GNOME Foundation . At the developers conference GUADEC, GNOME and LiMo have announced they want to work together in order to develop innovative Open Source.

Farewell to HP Slate. Hello webOS 2.0!
HP Slate and the dilemma of operating systems
Clearly our present is very far from what happened a few years ago in the world of operating systems. Everything changes, everything changes, and mentioned industry is not without it.
You've been through, in a very short time, a centralized ion Attn PCs and laptops to a growing importance of the mobile world and also that of the tablets, which is the focus of much of the innovation.
Two new news we'd like to share here. On the one hand we find the decision not to market HP HP Slate, which was to lead Windows 7, and on the other we have the announcement of a new webOS version 2.0 later this year. But let's go step by step ...

Rather than the cancellation of the device itself, this is important because another product that would take Windows (W7 Home Premium) has been ruled out. Read more
