Google + Ubuntu = Goobuntu!

The linux distribution called Ubuntu which is already considered to be "emerging as a leader in the desktop Linux world" because of it's easy of use and user friendly approach has been confirmed to have a serious relationship with the search giant Google. Even if development details are not out, "Google has confirmed it is working on a desktop linux project called Goobuntu". I've been using Ubuntu wich is excellent for linux beginners and should satisfy connaisseurs. The news has been reported on CNet News and coming from The Register. The news is not shocking me because this company has been expending like wildfire for the last few years and it is a good thing. Google is reknown around the world for it's search engine and approached to the web and desktop applications. We'll have to keep a close eye on both of them to see what they will bring us.

  • Hellboy II: The Golden Army

    It feels like the last Hellboy movie was years ago… In fact it has, and I don’t really get why they waited so long to bring a sequel out. It’s obvious the first one was not a break all records box office success, but the story was good, the action and special effects were pretty [...]

  • Wanted

    Honestly the best action film this summer so far. I had more fun watching Wanted then I had with The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man.
