UbuntuOne Music Store: How a music service should be
,----[ Quote ]
| One of my biggest complains about Apple is
| iTunes. Donât get me wrong, I like Apple.
| They offer fantastic (albeit overpriced)
| hardware, a solid operating system, and a
| killer aesthetic. But as for iTunes - you
| wonât find much love in this heart for that
| powerhouse music mecca. What you will find
| is contempt. I donât think I need to go off
| on the why I loathe iTunes. Why? Because
| everything the UbuntuOne Music Store is is
| what iTunes is not.

Where is Ubuntu going to ?
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu, undeniably, is in a great moment,
| one can say that it has achieved enough
| traction to trail its own way. When I
| first had contact with Ubuntu, and it was
| in the times of 6.06 and 6.10, Ubuntu
| seemed a better Knoppix than Knoppix . The
| Distro was very promising, showing signs
| that it would bring Linux, until then, an
| arcane magic of geeks and nerds, for the
| average user.

The Ubuntu Software Center- An under utilized asset?
,----[ Quote ]
| The USC as it is in Lucid is really great.
| Well polished, nicely categorized and above
| all easy to navigate. However, don't you
| think there is still one thing missing?
| Look up an application and it comes up with
| brief descriptions of what it does. Then
| you have a place there that tells you the
| price (in all cases that I have seen,
| FREE).

First Contact Review: Ubuntu 10.04 Beta2
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
| Linx Beta2 for testing. I love what I am
| seeing, so I want to share some of my
| initial impressions on what seems to be a
| release that could mark a milestone in
| Ubuntu's history.
|
| [...]
|
| I definitely recommend installing and using
| Ubuntu 10.04 once it is released, you will
| be pleasantly surprised!

Ubuntu: How to Measure Canonicalâs Business Progress
,----[ Quote ]
| On the one hand, I want to give Canonical
| credit: 12 million estimated users is a big
| figure. And it provides a foundation upon
| which Canonical can promote additional
| services â Landscape, Ubuntu One, Ubuntu
| Music Store, etc. â to consumers and
| business users.
|
| But just how well is Canonical doing? In
| March 2010, new Canonical CEO Jane Silber
| said the company had about 320 empl0yees
| and was on a path to profitability. But she
| conceded the company wasnât yet profitable.
|
| As a privately held software company,
| Canonical certainly doesnât have to say
| much about its financial performance. But
| frankly, I think Canonical can share a bit
| more information without having to
| completely open its books.

Ubuntu 10.04: review
,----[ Quote ]
| There are more things to this version of
| Ubuntu, each time cleaner and smoother (I
| didn't have any problems in spite I'm using
| the Beta version). Probably a 6 months
| schedule for a new version is too tight for
| fixing all the bugs. In the other hand the
| One Hundred Paper Cuts is obviously having
| good results and the system looks clean and
| professional.
