EPIC files complaint against "stalker spyware" companies
,----[ Quote ]
| EPIC's complaint alleges that these companies engage in unfair and deceptive
| practices. These companies promote illegal surveillance, they promote Trojan
| Horse email attacks, and they fail to warn their costumers against illegal
| uses. EPIC asks the FTC to stop these practices, seek compensation for
| victims, and further study this industry.

GNOME 2.22.0 Release Candidate (2.21.92) Released!
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the last unstable release before 2.22.0. It's been a pretty fun
| ride since September. New features. Bug fixes. Translations.
| Documentation. Lots of bug triaging too. And we're getting ready to
| start again for 2.23! But before, we need to make sure 2.22.0 will be
| rock-solid. There's still a few days before the hard code freeze, so
| it's not too late to fix this last bug you're ashamed of ;-)

Eight Interesting Improvements In GNOME 2.22
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in November we started sharing some of the exciting features planned for
| the GNOME 2.22 and 2.24 releases, and now that the first GNOME 2.22.0 Beta
| release is planned for later this week, we have taken another look at the
| packages set for inclusion and the changes that have actually been made.
| While nothing groundbreaking will be introduced in GNOME 2.22 (compared to
| KDE 4.0 at least), this desktop environment does have some moderate changes
| worth noting. In this article are eight interesting packages that either have
| noticeable changes since GNOME 2.20 or are new to GNOME. This list isn't
| all-inclusive or ordered in any particular fashion, but just eight changes
| that had caught our attention.
