Top Ten Things I Miss in Windows 

,----[ Quote ]
| 10.) Klipper/Copy & Paste Manager - I use 
| this one alot when I am either coding or 
| writing a research paper for school. More 
| often than not I find I have copied 
| something new only to discover I need to 
| paste a link or block of code again from two 
| copies back. Having a tray icon where I can 
| recall the last ten copies or so is mighty 
| useful.
| 
| 9.) Desktop Notifications - This is 
| something that was first largely introduced 
| in Ubuntu 9.04 and something I quickly grew 
| accustomed to having. Basically it is a 
| small message (notification) the pops up in 
| the upper right hand corner of your screen 
| for a few moments when something happens in 
| one of your programs (a torrent finishes, 
| you get a new instant message, ect.) or you 
| adjust the volume/brightness settings on 
| your system.

Asus and Garmin Make an Android

,----[ Quote ]
| I just love company tie ups, and Asus â
| Garmin is one particular company I am
| interested in. I have yet to see any of
| their old devices first hand, though I am
| aware of the M20 and G60 by reputation. The
| G60 in particular got my attention when it
| launched as it used the Linux mobile
| operating system.

Android to replace Garmin-Asus' current Linux platform

| devices. The former was first developed independently by Garmin and later
| rebadged with the new brand name after the two companies decided to
| collaborate on a line of navigation-focused smartphones.

Android Garmin Nuvifone in the works

,----[ Quote ]
| The revelation comes following the
| announcement of Google Maps Navigation and we
| can't help thinking that jumping from Linux,
| to Symbian, to Android is a bit of a
| coincidence, particularly given the
| impressive demo we've seen so far.
