ARM announces a development studio
,----[ Quote ]

| Development Studio 5 (DS-5) Application
| Edition for ARM Linux-based systems.
|
| ARM claims the DS-5 Application Edition was
| developed as a tool suite designed to
| simplify developing Linux and Android native
| applications for ARM processor-based systems.
| It was built to reduce the learning curve and
| shorten the coding and testing cycle.

The New UI for ARM Based Ubuntu Devices
,----[ Quote ]
| ARM based platforms traditionally have a problem
| with graphics drivers and free software.
| Encumbered by licensing issues, many platforms
| only ship with 2D based drivers whilst the 3D
| driver-enabled offerings only frequent the
| poshest of circles such as Nokia's N900. There
| are exceptions, but its a painful reality at the
| moment.
|
| Vendors are trying to work around it, especially
| as there is the expectation of a ramp-up in the
| availability of ARM based hardware. Super long-
| life netbooks, low powered touch based computers,
| and even a flurry of smaller embedded devices are
| forecast to hit the market this year, many of
| which will be based on the Linux operating
| system. Ubuntu would be a great match for this.

programmers at work
,----[ Quote ]
| Bricklin sent waves of laughter through
| the auditorium by reading a passage from
| Lammers' interview with Bill Gates in
| which the young Microsoft founder
| explained that his work on different
| versions of Microsoft's BASIC compiler
| was shaped by looking at how other
| programmers had gone about the same task.
| Gates went on to say that young
| programmers don't need computer science
| degrees: "The best way to prepare is to
| write programs, and to study great
| programs that other people have written.
| In my case, I went to the garbage cans at
| the Computer Science Center and I fished
| out listings of their operating systems."
|
| Bricklin finished reading Gates' words
| and announced, with an impish smile,
| "This is where Gates and [Richard]
| Stallman agree!"
