Linux's User Interface Puts MS Windows' To SHAME!
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, I got me a new refurbished box with very good specs, which is about to
| become my new home office machine. That's as soon as Slackware 13.0 hits
| final distribution release, which should be any day now... (Bought the box
| with Windows on it, you see) So, while I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for
| that landmark to come to pass, I did what any Linux user probably does when
| temporarily owning a copy of Windows (XP Pro here), and checked how it's
| doing these days.
|
| Because, see, I just can't get enough asstroturfers telling me how swell
| Windows stacks up to Linux lately. Gotta see for myself what all the hype is
| about. And since Microsoft is now suffering from the delusion that it
| competes with Linux, well...
|
| It didn't take long before the old Microsoft memories came back. Literally
| before I could get into the desktop, the first problem hit: It doesn't
| recognize the mouse. To be sure, the mouse is an old Wacom tablet with the
| little wireless mouse on it, pressed into service because, well, my other
| four mice are busy. It plugs into the USB port. But anyway, I've plugged this
| same mouse into more than six different machines running Linux and it always
| worked instantly.

Check Out Sony Ericsson's Android UI

| Word leaked over the weekend about Sony Ericsson's first Android-powered
| smartphone and it looked like a winner. Well, today we've learned that the
| company will be layering on its own custom user interface on top of the
| Linux-based OS, and it also looks pretty good.
|
| To recap, the smartphone is code-named "Rachael" and it is expected to be the
| next generation in the company's Xperia line. Reports say it will run on
| Qualcomm's zippy 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and it will have 3D graphics, a
| whopping 8-megapixel camera, and it will be capable of 7.2 Mbps downlink
| speeds.
