,----[ Quote ]
| What's the key to more Linux adoption on mobile devices? Intel wants to know.
| The chipmaker is searching for answers with its Moblin 2.0 mobile Linux

| (NASDAQ: INTC) hopes will improve the user's mobile experience. That starts
| with a look and feel that pushes the envelope.

Linux Has Won, Windows is Gone

| Sorry Windows you have already lost this battle. There is no way to reverse

| be honest here for a moment. Would your trust America's nuclear technologies

,----[ Quote ]
| Dan shares a bit of his newfound knowledge and there's definitely some facts
| that I wasn't aware of. Things like:
|
| * Moblin isn't an operating system or a Linux distro; it's a project.
| * Ubuntu Mobile is built with Hildon and Gecko.
| * Both initiatives have some some Intel backing or sponsorship
