Google removes "Beta" label from services
"Google is removing the "beta" label from many of its key services, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Talk, and Google Video for Business. The move is seen as a way to attract large businesses to Google Apps, its suite of messaging and productivity applications."

IE market share plummeting! (Or is it?)
"Microsoft's Internet Explorer's market share is absolutely falling. The question is, by how much?
"I've reported before that Internet Explorer (IE) drops 5 percent market share points each year, while Mozilla Firefox gains 5 percentage points per year. But what is becoming increasingly clear is that IE's market share may be dropping more precipitously than previously reported, falling to 60 percent share in June 2009 instead of the 68 percent share expected"

MPM Winner!!

If you scroll down to the bottom you can give your input anonymously.  Come on weigh in on the subject and let your vote be counted!  Here are the choices in a nutshell.
Poll
Should Debian include Mono in GNOME by default?
--Yes I use programs that depend on it
--Yes, cause it is a good platform
--No.  I choose not to have anything related to MS on my ubuntu machine
--No, because that way Ubuntu will have another edge over Debian!

Intro
 
Hey everyone, I hope all is going well with all of you and that you are gearing up for a great summer of Ubuntu freshness.  I've been playing around with Jaunty and so far I like.  Not everything was perfect as I explain in the podcast.  Forn one thing, I was unable to get Compiz going.  But eventually found a fix for it which I blogged about.  But, also, the laptop runs a bit hotter than usual, and believe me it isn't because I am a real power user with tons of apps running in the background.  There are several issues involved for sure that I am still investigating but I can live with the heat for now.  Just keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't ruin the trusty ol' laptop.  Well, I hope you enjoy the podcast and feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an email or even tweet me on twitter, bye.
