The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation
    Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation Immediately after Oracle America filed a patent infringement suit against Google Inc. in August 2010 the trade press labelled this a “software war.” Their interest was a trial featuring Oracle’s “star” counsel David Boies. In mid-January often cited Florian Mueller of NoSoftwarePatents, wrote “Google is patently too weak to protect Android—Google’s cell phone software.”1 (On April 4 Lead bidder Google offered $900 million for Nortel’s 6,000 patents and applications. A decision is expected in June}. By the end of March he had counted 39 patent infringement suits against Google.2 Whether Oracle wins Oracle v Google or not, Oracle and IBM may become losers. It is important that Oracle not alienate the software development community or its customers as it attempts to monetise the assets from the Sun Microsystems—now Oracle America— acquisition. The Oracle v. Google complaint was carefully targeted at Google’s Android software, avoiding the appearance of monetising the Java language and platform itself. The Android software was developed as open source in conjunction with the Open Handset Alliance. Android's mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel, subject to Linux patents. Google published all of the computer code under an Apache Software Foundation License.3 This license is royalty-free and places no restrictions on derivative products or commercial use. Based on IDC market share estimates by the fourth quarter of 2010, Android phones had 39% of the market. An Oracle asset gained through the acquisition of Sun was the OpenOffice open-source software—one of the only remaining substantial “competitors” to Microsoft’s document processing applications.

    What’s new (v3.4)? More formats Ardour, Tracktion & CMX 3600, 3400, 340 EDL & other CMX’like files (eg Grass Valley 4 &7 & Cudos) You can now specify a Reaper RPP as a session ‘template’ to be used when converting to Reaper format. Samplitude EDL, you can now choose to offset all clips by the Offset amount in the source session. Extracted OMF info, media files & session data can be written back to the OMF source folder. Much more detail is extracted from PT5 sessions, eg BPM, Beat markers, lists of Fx & plug-in’s used; now listed in for example the Reaper notes section. Recombine split stereo (.L&.R) files from for example, ProTools, to a sub folder called ‘Stereo’. Pro Tools import & Export has been enhanced considerably. Eg mute envelopes now fully supported. (both read & write) You no longer need to “unhide” hidden PT5 files originated on a Mac, AATranslator can now “see” any pt5 files whether hidden or not. PT5 export, can use either Clip or track/timeline based automation envelopes from all of the far more capable source formats, that include both of these types of automation.. There is now a Mac OSX export function for PT5 sessions. The notes have been substantially re-written, much clearer & even more vital to read. Note if Pro Tools (now known as, Avid Audio) is important to you, do read the notes. PT does have very specific requirements that are far more strict than any other DAW. PT can work really well, but it’s a very picky DAW, so make sure you deliver what it requires, this is very very important.
