The Opera people pressuring Apple
Opera People know what they want and how. Happen to have developed Opera Mini, a browser for iPhone that would be the solution for those who must suffer the Safari. What have they done with him? Well, we have sent the appStore meeting the requirements relevant to the case, and have sat down to wait. But before that, set up a site with a counter that began at the same time they sent the request and stop when Apple convey its response.
The movement is great because it presents a win-win type scenario for browser development firm: if Apple backs off on its protectionist stance and approves it, many will come down just to have an option to the sometimes capricious Safari. If not approved, you can put in arms and accuse the apple discriminate its product, close its borders and other attacks on people enbanderada Jobs in policies and should be used. Read more
Platform expansion

Opera 10 is ready for those who prefer its interface, improvements in javascript from 9.5 Elder Futhark (the alphabet of the proto-Norse) or function to read in Opera Presto 2.2 - 100% Acid 3 - tags and statements in the language of the web, as do Safari, Firefox, IE8 or Chrome. The latest stable version was 9.64.
Security Issues in Mac OS X
In Boston, the conference SOURCE, Dino Dai Zovi has made a demonstration on how to break the security of Apple's operating system. To make the show has used the data memory (HEAP Memory) is not sufficiently protected in order to perform the attack. This problem is currently produced in Leopard but it is anticipated that in the next version, Snow Leopard, will be resolved as data memory will be random.
So far Mac OS X is considered one of the most secure systems on the market. However this finding may be that serious attacks appear to Mac OS X.
Curiously the iPhone OS is not vulnerable to the problem described above.

OpenSuSE Thin Client
There are also a similar development in PC-BSD , Novell reimplement the concept client / server (Linux Terminal Server Project GNU) to have reduced hardware operating system performance to the NetWare network. Innovation happens that an image is done with KIWI . Other distributions imitate this good initiative.
QT 4.5
In the beginning (1994) was Trolltech and graphics libraries and expanded the possibilities of free Unix GNU / Linux. Nokia has just announced the availability of open source QT 4.5 (apart paradox is to promote open source SymbianOS to compete in the always open and always open Linux KDE applicant of the QT, nothing's stopping by the way). The novelty is that the name is converted to QtDesigner Qt Creator IDE into a very modern 1.0 SDK that supports WebKit, Flash, JScript engine and launches a new framework for improving Cocoa development on Mac OS X. Interoperability and integration with KDevelop will be news from my user experience in a few weeks.

Jolicloud, a new operating system for netbooks
Joliclouud is a new operating system based on GNU / Linux computers designed for ultraportables. Those who discarded this alternative no longer have an excuse, because it has a user interface optimized for the screen so small (in some cases 6 ").
It is created by Tariq Krim Certainly seems more interesting and if you have the speed you are supposed to be, with the boom of netbooks will be a guaranteed success.
They also highlight the application icons that, as in most operating systems designed for notebooks stand out for their large size to make life easier for the user of teams that usually have very small screens.

Russia could have an operating system "national" to compete with Windows
This is the headline I see in www.20minutos.es. Apparently Russian President Vladimir Putin wants the government of his country does not lose independence on issues like security and software. Russia pretente create an operating system that meets their own national needs. Also from the telecommunications ministry is making an effort for all Russian schools using free software in 2009. No doubt a great challenge. Microsoft seem difficult times in Russia.
Windows 7 a good OS
We would be surprised if Mr. Shuttleworth of Canonical Ltd chief executive told us that tested the Microsoft operating system-Windows 7 - and you think of a good system, not logically would believe it not for qu 
and Shuttleworth is waiting for Microsoft to finally install windows 7 and stop giving away XP (It is assumed that the license be charged to manufacturers) giving the event has installed Ubuntu computers are more expensive than those with XP, it is clear that the Ubuntu community awaits the release of Ubuntu 9 to cope.
