At launch, the company stated the basic version of the Eee PC rival would run Linux, pack in 8GB of solid-state storage and 512MB of memory, and sport a £199 price tag. Company officials stressed that that figure included VAT, the UK’s 17.5 per cent sales tax.
Forbes has published an interview with LiMo Foundation executive director Morgan Gillis. The LiMo chief speaks out on Nokia’s acquisition of Symbian, competition with Android, the fold-in of the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum, and a projected 10 new LiMo handsets to be announced this month.

You can’t really blame Adrian, though. Adrian is a relatively new Linux user – he comes from the world of Windows, where you double click on a SETUP.EXE icon and minutes later, you’ve got an application installed on your system.

equo remove –deep mono
This will get rid of all the mono/donnet trash you don’t want on your computer. I did on my machine and it works great. I was surprised to learn sound-juicer is a mono program, but kaudiocreator is a better program anyway, though, admittedly, I do like the fact you play the CD in sound-juicer. You also lose tomboy, beagle, wine-doors, gnome-nettool, and not much else as far as I can see. On the other hand you get a lot of a space–somewhere near .5G. Sorry I didn’t measure the space better, as I surprised to learn that mono took so much space. The bottom line is that it was worthwhile on my laptop to remove mono in terms of the tradeoff between space and functionality–even if there weren’t good moral reasons to remove mono.
Reporters wonder if Vivek Kundra (national CIO) can resist the temptation to just hand over government operations to private companies, some of which are abusive and dangerous to sovereignty
Poor Microsoft complains about a "mainframe monopoly" which does not run Microsoft Windows and the same strategies it used in Europe are being extended to India
More brainwash from Microsoft's front group, the BSA (with former employees of Gates Senior); Europe's patent office -- not Europe itself -- may be having problems
The Gates Foundation still gets around, throwing money at all the right places for PR purposes while it's making profit from patents and global influence
A great number of new articles about the effects of Apple, Microsoft, and Intellectual Ventures (funded by Apple, Microsoft, and Bill Gates) on Free software
Canadians demand compensation after Microsoft illegally removed competition, but those Canadians may not know just how deep Bill Gates is inside their government
Assorted new reports about how Microsoft abuses "open source" to gain control of it, change its direction and goals, or even to misuse the label to promote proprietary software that harms standards and promotes patenting of software
