Qt applications in your browser

,----[ Quote ]
| A Qt application, running inside the Native 
| Client sandbox, inside the Firefox browser 
| VergrÃÃern
| Source: Qt Labs A first shot at creating a 
| port of the Qt toolkit to Google's Native 
| Client (NaCL) environment allows Qt 
| applications to run as applets within a 
| browser. The port is not yet complete, but 
| it already offers mouse and keyboard 
| support, rudimentary support for the QtGUI 
| and QtCore libraries and several more 
| complex widgets. The biggest problem with 
| the current port though is that the event 
| handling in NaCL is polling based which 
| makes applications spin using 100% of the 
| CPU; the developers descibe this as "not 
| quite our preferred style".

Hands-on: Plasma, KWin improve in KDE SC 4.4 beta 1

,----[ Quote ]
| There are a number of more sophisticated
| KWin changes that are under active
| development but probably won't arrive in
| KDE SC 4.4. I'm particularly enthusiastic
| about a project that was undertaken by
| developer Nikhil Marathe which will
| ultimately add dynamic window tiling, so
| that KWin can be used like Ion and other
| keyboard-oriented tiling window managers.
| It's still at an early stage of
| development, but it shows considerable
| promise.
|
| Several new applications will debut in 4.4,
| including a new blogging tool called
| Blogilo. The tool, formerly known as Bilbo,
| is designed to give users a way to manage
| and post content to blogs that use the
| Metaweblog API, including Wordpress,
| MovableType, and Blogger. Its built-in
| content editor has optional WYSIWYG support
| and spellchecking. Due to its broad
| assortment of capabilities, Blogilo is
| arguably the most feature-rich native
| blogging tool on the Linux platform. It's a
| particularly useful tool for users who
| write multiple blogs and want to manage
| them through a single interface.

Is Tabbed Windows Going To Be The Next Big Thing?

,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1,
| tabbed windows is now available through its
| windows manager KWin. This raises the
| question, is tabbed windows going to be the
| next big thing after tabbed browsing?
|
| Tabs as a means of cleaning up the UI is by
| no means a new concept. It dates back to
| 1997 when NetCaptor, the first browser
| supporting tabed browsing was released.
| However, the concept really took off when
| Mozilla Firefox introduced it.

KDE 4.3.4 now available for PCLinuxOS

,----[ Quote ]

| edition of KDE SC is a bugfix and
| translation update to KDE SC 4.3. KDE SC
| 4.3.4 is a recommended upgrade for everyone
| running KDE 4.3.3 or earlier versions. As
| the release only contains bugfixes and
