What is the BEST of the best software, apps, effects, add-ins, etc….. that the BEST Ubuntu system build should include….?
This is just as basic Ubuntu install – not highly tweaked out. But it still blows away anything from Apple or Microsoft http://ping.fm/0Bopt
All those apps that iPhone has, that Android doesn’t have…. will show up on Android in only WEEKS from now. Mark my Words. …continued…
One of our best friends in life, Lissette (aka Lisa), just delivered a bundle of Love named Fiona. Mommy and Baby are both great & healthy!

Motorola Droid Getting Android OS 2.1 Upgrade this Week
http://ping.fm/Mgmg5 via @breifepisode
I use twitdroid to search for the word “Ubuntu” for tweets “nearby”… and then follow everyone in the NYC area who tweets about Ubuntu. 
My memory is soooo superior to my spouse’s… I can’t even Remember the last time I forgot something….
Much better idea using DropBox: Put ALL your stuff inside the Public folder and give people the URL for the file(s) you want them to see/use
Using DropBox, I think “Sharing a folder” generally has little or no value for most users. A much better idea…. continued…
omg. it is soooo cold in nyc… I was seriously contemplating taking a cab to go 2 blocks! (but they’re Avenue blocks… after dinner.
Apple’s iPhone sold 600,000 units in its first month, and Motorola’s Droid sold 575,000 units

That actor who played Jake Sulley in Avatar… is he really in a wheelchair? …or were those fake legs?
I want, as a screensaver, the Totem Movie Player, full screen, with “Visualization” on… playing my music… wouldn’t that be coolest…!?!
“Verizon Wireless should be unblocking us later today/tomorrow…” – 4chan /b ( http://ping.fm/ktISV )
What are they talking about on the blogs? I am using http://www.4chan.org from my Verizon 3G on my Droid just fine….
Be SURE to use this link: http://is.gd/7TQdr …when you are going to
create a new free Dropbox account. This will give you an EXTRA 250MB
of free space that you wouldn’t get otherwise.
Watching the beginning of Avatar just now. Military machoism. “Ladies…” “Fresh meat…” It’s all so so so homo-erotic under a mask of hate
If I have VIDEO_TS file structure, I can just use Isomaster app to create an ISO image of that folder only… to make a viewable DVD?
Whenever you must reboot your computer, do a shut down. A restart is the equivalent of a 10 minute nap. A shut down is a good night’s sleep.
What application, add-on, or “tweak”, can you not live without, on your desktop or laptop? What’s the first thing you install on a new one?
Yeah!!! I’m so happy, I got my UrbanSpoon app back! Now it’s on Droid! Never need that antiquated old iPhone again! Only one more: Grindr…
When you create a short URL, like an http://is.gd URL, I wonder how long it will last? How long will it work… to redirect to the page…?

I’ve discovered a rare bug in Android on the Motorola Droid. Rarely,
touching icons on the Home screen launches the WRONG app! VERY weird…

Motorola Droid has ALWAYS had multitouch, aka pinch-to-zoom. Apple
threatened to sue if they didn’t disable it. But it’s back now…

iPad, uPad, maxiPad,…. they’re all the same. Proprietary plugs and jacks…. Patent Pending. No. You may not run your own software. -Apple

Technology Design & “Getting” what Normal People Want / Need
I just read this great blog article about technology, platforms, interfaces, the iPad, the future, and "getting" what average normal users want…
See:
http://weblog.muledesign.com/2010/02/the_failure_of_empathy.php
Here is my reply to it:
This is a great article. And the comments are just as great.
I have been in IT since my first computer, an Apple II Plus. I had one of the first Macs ever off an assembly line. I was head of IS R&D for a Fortune 400 company and single handedly spearheaded the idea of switching the entire company from IBM, DOS, and OS/2…. to this new thing no one had ever heard of…. It was called Microsoft Windows. I knew it would "take off"… eventually.
Here I am today, typing this from my Droid running Linux (Android).
I have always been an advocate for the "normal average person". Just as normal people don't get programming – and they shouldn't need to… Geeks don't get normal people. The more geeky a person is, the less he can relate to average ordinary users.
One of my biggest passions in life is making technology "as easy to use as an elevator".
A second passion of mine is real true "extreme customer service"…
Both are very rare.
A third is FOSS. Users DO care about what's open…… when it is explained to them that music can be copied TO their iThing, but not FROM it… When they are told, no. You cannot run porn apps on an iThing. Why? Because Apple says no. You cannot make free calls and SMS using Google Voice app. Why? Because Apple says no.
Then they start to care.
Once they are burned.
Open systems will beat out closed proprietary Big Brother platforms like Apple and Microsoft. Like the parable of the tortoise and the hare, it will take time…. But….
MARK MY WORDS
Just as I predicted, in the days of DOS, that… "This Microsoft Windows thing is going to catch on!"
I have been predicting for years now:
Linux and other FOSS will surpass all closed and proprietary systems, in the long run.
And it already is happening.
I feel so strongly about all of this….. that I am starting my own company do do just that. Providing a user experience, "Easier than a Mac. Cheaper than a PC." …as we say.
Feel free to take a peek. http://bredtech.com
Meanwhile, who can tell me:
What's the state of the art in tablet hardware that can run Linux, Ubuntu, whatever open… that could be the hardware platform for the next Open "iPad killer" device…?

Why doesn’t Android give me a cached image of all the web sites I’ve visited
recently, when I have no signal (on subway)? It should!
Open Source is better and ultimately wins. That’s why Android beat out iPhone in the marketplace… already. That war’s been won. You’ll see
It’s easy to see that all the hottest new products & platforms are running some or other version of Linux, for example. This is no accident.
Open Source is better. For many reasons. However, that does not mean that open app “A” is always superior to closed app “B”. Obviously. cont
