* "When you play a striker who doesn't score goals, you get asked why you don't play a striker who scores goals. When he scores goals, you get asked why you are too dependent on him. When a player scores goals, it is because the whole team is doing well. Never in my life have I seen a player who scores goals in a team that doesn't create chances" - Arsene Wenger

in an interview with ZDNets Steven J.
Vaughan-Nichols , Ubuntu founder Mark
Shuttleworth has spoken of plans to bring
Ubuntu to mobile devices, tablets and TVs.
Linux for even more human beings

In his pre- UDS chat with ZDNet, Shuttleworth
said called the move ‘a natural expansion [of]
Ubuntu as Linux for human beings.’
“As people have moved from desktop to new
form factors for computing, it’ s important for us
to reach out to out community on these
platforms. So, we’ll embrace the challenge of
how to use Ubuntu on smartphones, tablets and
smart-screens .”


Now I know what you’re thinking: “Android.”
Vaughan-Nicols put the proverbial white-
elephant in the room to Shuttleworth, who was
more than optimistic about Ubuntu’s chances
against it: -
“The device world is highly competitive and
highly dynamic, while Android and iOS
dominate handheld devices, disruptive elements
could still establish themselves. Therefore,
Ubuntu and Windows can still be a real force.
…from the industry viewpoint, Google
acquisition Of Motorola Mobility has shook up
the hardware vendors, so some of them are
looking for non- Android alternatives.”
And Ubuntu tablets?
“We’ve also already heard from people who are
already shipping tablets that they want Ubuntu
on the tablet. ”


I’ve also heard from people who
are already buying tablets – and they want
Ubuntu on the tablet, too!


Ubuntu 14.04
Before you get too exited, I should point out
that you won’t be powering up your flat-screen
TV to the sound of Ubuntu’ s familiar jungle
chimes, or prodding your finger on a 100%
tablet- optimised Unity desktop until around
Ubuntu 14.04 – that’s April 2014, fact fans.
And whilst that date may seem a long way off,
it’ s potentially for the best.


“Smart TVs” haven’t really taken off as many
had predicted – Ubuntu can seize on the “why
not” and bring its own value to this area.
Non-Apple tablet sales have only just begun to
take off – perhaps Windows 8 will ignite this
market further as users seek a device with more
oomph than Android?
And in a world of vying smartphones OSes
(from Bada to iOS) the exact void a ‘disruptive
element’ could fill has yet to be
properly identified. I mean, good- will can only
take you os far, right Maemo?
But it’s an exciting prospect, isn’t it?

see bloviating oo

talking of mediawhore's . . who lifted an article from timesonline to defend this irrational Cleverley fixation.

coogar:
a cursory glance at the previous pages on this same thread would tell you everyone has been harping about cleverley even before this season.
lifting an article from timesonline was just to solidify my points that i am not the only one who feels he works pretty well with anderson.
that article was written last friday. . . . .

aunty doyin13, comprehende?

If you thought you couldn't get a real Android tablet from a brand you've heard of for less than $200, think again. Lenovo's just announced the IdeaPad Tablet A1, a 7-inch Android unit that we got a sneaky first glimpse of back in July. Now it's real, and it's cheap, it's running Gingerbread, and while it doesn't hold a candle to the Galaxy Tab 7.7, it honestly feels like something far above its price point.

There are plenty of cheap Android tablets out there, but most have sketchy construction and many are locked out of the Android Market -- meaning no Gmail app, no Maps, and none of the other built-in Google goodies. That's not the case with the A1, which is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a single-core Cortex A8 processor. It has front- and rear-facing cameras (the back one rated at three megapixels) and a 7-inch, 1,024 x 600 display

Again, those are specs that don't compare to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, but something tells us you won't be able to score one of these for the $199 asking price that the A1 starts at. For that you'll get 8GB of storage, but a 16GB model will go for $249, 32GB for $299. We're told only the 16GB and 32GB models will be shipped to the US, which is a bit of a shame, as with both microSD and SD expansion it'll be fairly easy to add more. Connectivity is limited to WiFi, but there is a GPS in there, so it could make for a passable navigation device.

I need help with an issue, I'm unable to tether my phone to my computer via usb(I use an N900), with bluetooth it works like a charm but with usb it never connects. . .

can anyone shed more light? I've tried searching on the internet for a solution but maybe I'm not using the right terms. . .
