  • Ubuntu Edge, El Smartphone De Canonical En Busca De Financiación
    Ubuntu Edge, el smartphone de Canonical en busca de financiación Canonical lleva un tiempo prometiendo quedesembarcará de lleno en el mercado de los smartphones con terminales gobernados por una versión móvil de Ubuntu pero, para conseguirlo, ha decidido reclamar la ayuda de los usuarios. Esto es, ha lanzado una campaña de crowdfunding a través de la plataforma Indiegogo para juntar el dinero necesario para su desarrollo, que ha sido presentada como la mayor iniciativa de este tipo jamás organizada. No en vano, los chicos de Canonical se han puesto como meta reunir 32 millones de dólares en un periodo máximo de 30 días. Con este dinero fabricarán un lote limitado de 40.000 dispositivos y aquellas personas que quieran llevarse uno de ellos deberán aportar 600 dólares el primer día (opción que a estar horas ya está agotada) o bien 830 dólares a partir de ahí. Se estima que este primer terminal, bautizado con el nombre deUbuntu Edge, comenzará a comercializarse en mayo de 2014. “Ubuntu Edge es el dispositivo de convergencia definitivo, al poner a prueba las normas establecidas para PCs y smartphones”, ha dicho Mark Shuttleworth. “El enfoque del crowdfunding es una manera novedosa de probar la demanda de tecnologías de vanguardia y nuevas clases de dispositivos, [así que] soportar a Ubuntu Edge es la mejor manera de catalizar la próxima generación de dispositivos personales en la industria”. Las principales características de este terminal es que tendrá arranque dual para Ubuntu OS y Android, y que será capaz de transformarse en un PC al uso si se acopla a un monitor.

  • THE OFFICIAL UBUNTU BOOK CAPTURES Both the Spirit and the Precision with Which Ubuntu Itself Is Crafted
    Praise for Previous Editions of The Offi cial Ubuntu Book “The Offi cial Ubuntu Book is a great way to get you started with Ubuntu, giving you enough information to be productive without overloading you.” —John Stevenson, DZone book reviewer “OUB is one of the best books I’ve seen for beginners.” —Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide “This book is the perfect companion for users new to Linux and Ubuntu. It covers the basics in a concise and well-organized manner. General use is cov- ered separately from troubleshooting and error-handling, making the book well suited both for the beginner as well as the user who needs extended help.” —Thomas Petrucha, Austria Ubuntu User Group “I have recommended this book to several users who I instruct regularly on the use of Ubuntu. All of them have been satisfi ed with their purchase and have even been able to use it to help them in their journey along the way.” —Chris Crisafulli, Ubuntu LoCo Council, Florida Local Community Team “This text demystifi es a very powerful Linux operating system. In just a few weeks of having it, I’ve used it as a quick reference a half-dozen times, which saved me the time I would have spent scouring the Ubuntu forums online.” —Darren Frey, Member, Houston Local User Group “This is a book that the new Ubuntu user would fi nd helpful in getting started and the more experienced computer user would fi nd informative enough to keep as a reference manual. I also enjoyed the computing humor.” —Dr. Gregory Chapelle, General Atomics, Electromagnetics Division, San Diego, California “In short, this book is something that I can honestly recommend to anyone using Ubuntu.

And then it was reported a 9-11 Twin Tower conspiratist crashed the post-Super Bowl press conference. I chuckled. I had completed reading the 585 page proposal for SEC rul ings addressing Crowdfunding.
