KDE's Expanded Desktop vs. Online Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| For example, in the current release of KDE, you can use the new geolocation
| support to connect to locate other KDE users nearby so that you can socialize
| or exchange information. If you want information about the music album you
| are playing in Amarok, you can access Wikipedia without troubling to open up
| your browser. If you want to download your photos from Facebook, you can do
| so from within digiKam. Although these are far from the first applications to
| access the web directly, the extent to which the latest releases of KDE
| applications are doing so amounts to an integration of the desktop and online
| resources that provides a clear alternative to the idea of online
| applications.

Another Platform for KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| While the KDE community busied itself with preparations for the 4.3 release,
| KDE 4 continued to spread to new platforms with ReactOS user Davy Bartoloni
| reporting (machine translation of original Italian) some success in running
| KDE applications on that operating system.
|
| [...]
|
| ReactOS is still in alpha stage and not recommended for everyday use.
| Attempting to use the latest KDE Windows installer on ReactOS resulted in a
| blue screen of death and so this demonstration of running KDE applications
| required compiling them on Windows and then transferring the binaries to
| ReactOS.

Maybe the ReactOS people realised that mimicking a broken OS is now the way to
go?

| one day give Microsoft the chills. Well, ReactOS 0.3.9 is now here, with
| major performance improvements, initial sound support and the latest WINE
| DLLs for improved compatibility. Summary after the break.
