I have seen the future, and it is GNOME 3

| GNOME 3 is different. Very different. Gone
| is the start button, to be replaced by the
| Activities button. No more are you
| fumbling around in menus to find what you
| need. What you will have is a very
| streamlined, sleek, and sexy desktop that
| is sure to make your computing life
| easier. Oh of course there will be those
| that say âIf it isnât brokeââ Well, I am
| one of those who will first claim that it
| is, in fact, âbrokeâ. The current desktop
| that most everyone uses is klunky, kludgy,
| and ugly. Itâs a task bar, and menus, and
| icons, and blah blah blahâthereâs no
| âApple factorâ. What do I mean by âApple
| factorâ? Simple - there is very little
| energy given to aesthetics. And believe me
| in the current incarnation of the modern,
| capitalist society - it is all about form
| over function. You have to look good
| before you can be good.

GNOME 3 System Status Area Mockups
,----[ Quote ]
| In GNOME 3, the System Status Area is a
| place where System Status Indicators
| represent the status of the system to the
| user. This is not an area that is
| variously called the Notification Area or
| System Tray and should not be used by
| applications (foreground or background) to
| indicate their status. This distinction is
| necessary to ensure the entire top of the
| screen is designed properly, system owned
| and coherent, able to be modified or
| extended, scale well to smaller form-
| factors, and not become a dumping ground
| or high-profile branding opportunity.

The Case for Gnome Shell
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple weeks ago, I wrote some posts on
| GNOME Shell which included a number of
| criticisms of the desktop environment that
| will likely become UbuntuâS default at
| some point in the future. Jon McCann,
| lead designer for GNOME Shell, recently
| got in touch to offer his responses to the
| problems I found with the new interface.
| Hereâs what he had to say.
|
| In general, Jonâs message was that many of
| the criticisms I made of GNOME (not Gnome,
| Iâve realizedâ) Shell were unfair, given
| that its targeted release date remains six
| months in the future. For example, Jon
| assured me that my experience with a laggy
| interface was likely due to known bugs
| involving certain Intel GPUs, which the
| GNOME developers are working on fixing.

First Look: GNOME 2.30
,----[ Quote ]
| April Fools turned out to be a great day for
| Linux enthusiasts, as GNOME developers
| decided to offer them something to look
| forward to except getting punked and do a
| proper launch, and a pretty big one at that.
| GNOME 2.30 is now available for everyone and
| the final release of the 2.xx series is
| packing some serious punch and plenty of
| goodies for even the most demanding user.
