Installed Jolicloud, and WOW!
,----[ Quote ]
| This weekend, I installed Jolicloud on Leslee's netbook. Jolicloud is
| currently in private alpha. I put in for a key quite a long time ago. A few
| months ago, I finally got accepted. But....I've been really busy with the
| wedding and honeymoon, so it just sat there. Now I regret it. Wow,
| Jolicloud is phenominal.

Gain more battery life from your Linux-based laptop with powertop
,----[ Quote ]
| If your laptop is running Linux you might not be happy with the battery life
| you are getting. There are numerous reasons for the possible extra drain on
| your battery. Some of the biggest issues are: Hard drive spin-downs,
| interrupts, and power management. Figuring out how to make these adjustments
| to your kernel (or subsystems) to gain a bit of extra battery life would take
| more time googling than you would probably prefer. Fortunately there is a
| single application available to take care of this for you. Powertop is one of
| those tools every user of Linux on a laptop should have installed â
| especially if your laptop depends primarily on its battery for life.

Checking out the Jolicloud Netbook OS
,----[ Quote ]
| That may, actually, be exactly what is needed to bring the concepts of Ubuntu
| Netbook Remix to the masses. Itâs too early to tell, but Jolicloud looks like
| it has a chance of being one of the first Linux-based netbook distros to take
| off, if they can get deals with hardware manufacturers.

Hands-On Review Of Jolicloud, The iPhonesque OS For Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Founder and former CEO of Netvibes Tariq Krim is moving forward with his
| ambitious Jolicloud project, looking to build a better operating system for
| web workers with netbooks (or smartbooks or cloud computers, whichever term
| you prefer). A couple of days ago, we got a couple of exclusive screenshots
| from the team, and just a day after the startup started sending out a handful
| of invite codes for early adopters who wanted to get a peak at the alpha
| developer release. I also got hold of one and have been using Jolicloud on my
| Acer Aspire ONE for about four days now. These are my initial findings.

More evidence of Microsoft "tying up" the Asus EeePC
,----[ Quote ]
| Then, one of the makers of Netbooks will release a fantastic product using
| the paid Ubuntu/Netbook Remix, which will make us all forget about the EeePC
| â or, maybe weâll remember it as one of the makers which used GNU/Linux in
| order to launch a product, and then gave in to Microsoftâs pressure.
|
| The real question is: will the next maker manage to resist Microsoftâs
| pressure? Or will everybody end up closely tied up with Microsoft?
