The Ebox from ASUS: Looks great, costs little, runs Linux
From the rumor/leak mill comes ASUS' move of its eee platform to the desktop. Just look at this thing. Yes, it's cooler than a Mac. And way cheaper. And the most intriguing part of the rumor/leak? the EBOX will use Intel's new Atom processor, which the chip-maker is marketing as power-saving CPU for ultra-small devices.

Google defends open source from ‘poisonous people’
Once upon a time, there was an open source project called Subversion, and it needed a new date parser. One day, a coder came along and wrote one. But he insisted on tagging the source code with his John Hancock. And that was against the rules. Subversion's founders said that name tags would undermine collaboration. When the founders asked the coder to remove his name, he refused, threatening to leave the project and take his date parser with him. It was a good date parser - just want the project needed - but the founders stood their ground.

New Life for an Old PC
Q. Im planning on reformatting and erasing the hard drive in my old computer before I give it to a friend, but I cant find the original Windows discs that came with it. I dont want to pass along a machine with no operating system on it, so what can I do? A. It is a good idea to wipe your data and reformat the hard drive before someone else starts using the computer. You still have a couple of options even if you cant find the Windows system software discs to reinstall the operating system.

Hutchison / 3 snags iPhone for Hong Kong and Macau
Filed under: Cellphones
Looks like Hutchison (aka 3) snagged the iPhone for distribution in Hong Kong and Macau, which will be coming "later this year." Like the rest, this was another one liner un-announcement with no real info, but you probably wouldn't want to anger Steve before WWDC. Besides, in Hong Kong 3 doesn't sell anything but 3G phones -- so put that in your iPipe and smoke it.[Thanks, Chris and Joe]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

How to revert to the “old” Google favicon
Google recently changed their favicon.ico from the ever familiar boxed G, to a smaller g. If you’re not a big fan of the new icon, you can install this Greasemonkey script and pretend the change never happened.

gNewSense distro frees Ubuntu
Free software lovers can rejoice at this month's release of gNewSense 2.0 (pronounced "guh-new-sense"), the latest version of the popular distribution based on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Code-named DeltaH, this operating system includes only software where users have the right to run, study, adapt, redistribute, and improve all of the software and code. To that end, gNewSense is supported and sponsored by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). The strict freedom-ware requirement excludes a great deal of software, including proprietary drivers for wireless and video cards, leaving most users with a less functional -- albeit less tainted -- derivative of Ubuntu 8.04.

Got Vision?
Seven years ago this week I published my first online commentary piece. The topic was the predicted death of the Linux desktop brought on by the demise of Eazel, the original developer of GNOMEs Nautilus file manager. A lot has happened since that time, but not precisely how I would have predicted it would. Lets review.

Profiling entire system activity with sysprof
Profiling an application lets you see what functions are taking up most of the CPU time so you can concentrate your optimization efforts on making the those pieces of code run faster. With sysprof, you can profile all the applications that are running on your machine, including a multithreaded or multiprocessed application or a complex server application that has multiple parts. sysprof collects information about how much time is spent in each library and function as the applications execute.
