Giving life back to an OLD laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| This laptop belongs to a good friend and she loved it when I told her that we
| can give a new life to her laptop using GNU/Linux. This is an Toshiba
| Satellite Sro 435CDS built around 12 years ago. Specs? Pentium 120, 32 MB
| ram, 4 GB Hard. Yes this laptop has been upgrade a few years ago to highest
| supported specs.

Google's Linux is now landing on sub-notebooks as well:
Android on netbooks is BIG money for Google

| If Google gets this right, the possibilities are tremendous. Currently Google
| plans to use 30% of the revenue generated from sales of Android applications
| to pay carriers and billing settlement fees. Think about it though — that 30%
| only makes sense if we’re talking about mobile devices on a wireless network.
| I’d suspect that the 30% rake will still exist when Android makes its way
| into netbooks — and in that case, Google would be the sole recipient of the
| money. Imagine if Google was able to make 30% on all software sold for their
| operating system — that should make investors happy.

Does Anyone Buy Software Anymore?
,----[ Quote ]
| Big shifts are taking place in the software industry. For most of
| its history, software has been bought much like a load of bread: you
| buy it, consume it, then at a later date you buy some more.
|
| But this model is fading. Large companies, who get some (or much) or
| their software on a license basis, are moving away from purchasing
| software. Models like software as service (SaaS), renting rather
| than buying, are fundamentally altering the software business.
| Also tipping the apple cart are open source and wireless
| applications.
