The Stable Triple and Marketing Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux marketplace appears vastly
| diverse and complicated, but in reality,
| most of the market is actually very
| consolidated already in everything but
| marketing. Red Hat has a very small,
| intense field around it, mostly
| encompassing RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS.
| Oracle Enterprise Linux would also be
| included, and this will serve as a tidbit
| for later articles. These systems have a
| very strong focus on the general business
| environment: desktops and servers. They are
| developed with security and reliability in
| mind. On the other side is the Ubuntu
| field. This field is vast and diverse.
| First, there are the Canonical-sponsored
| Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Ubuntu
| Netbook Remix, Ubuntu Studio, and Ubuntu
| Server edition; then there are the
| redistributions such as Mint, Mythbuntu,
| gOS, Goobuntu, and more. In some ways,
| Debian can even be included in the Ubuntu
| cloud. Ubuntu is community and "free"
| focused. It is a place to try the latest
| and greatest. Ubuntu needs to embrace this
| expansive, innovative family more fully,
| promoting a wider Ubuntu brand.

Put your knowledge where your mouth is.

| So when I write about Linux I write what I
| personally know or have researched on. When
| I write about windows I also write what I
| personally know or have researched on. My
| opinions on those are the results of that
| experience. While there have been many
| comments posted which do not agree with
| what I say, they are often quite
| knowledgeable and show me ways of thinking
| I hadn't considered. Other comments, not so
| much.
|
| To end this rambling missive why don't you
| consider your reasons for liking your
| preferred operating system and your reasons
| for hating the other operating system. Is
| it from years of experience or simply an
| ignorant reaction from hearsay and peer
| group pressure? Do you really know your
| operating system well enough to be able to
| defend it against slander? Do you know the
| other operating system to be able to
| factually put your money where your mouth
| is?

iPhone Now as Fragmented as Android
,----[ Quote ]
| At Transpond, when we were building apps on
| the iPhone and Android platforms last year,
| all of our engineers were enamored with the
| iPhone and annoyed with the pesky Android
| devices.
|
| The iPhone environment was remarkably
| consistent. There was a single 480Ã320 screen
| resolution and API consistency across iPhone,
| iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS. Even though the
| original iPhone doesnât have GPS, it provided
| an approximation based on cell towers, and our
| customers like CBS and NBC are more interested
| in syndicating video and engaging users, so we
| did not need the 3D graphics of the newer
| generation iPhones. All in all, the iPhone
| platform presented a clean, wonderful
| experience for our engineers where they could
| write one piece of code and it would run
| beautifully on all of the iPhone and iPod
| Touch devices.
