Gnash
Posted on : 2009-06-01
We all know that YouTube and other popular video-sites use Flash as their multimedia file format. Whilst Adobe provides versions of their Flash Player for Linux, the player is in no way open source. We Linux-users prefer using open source alternatives over proprietary, closed software, so the community has embarked on an open source Flash Player and named it Gnash.
Gnash provides both a stand-al...

How the BBC uses Linux for its TV production
Posted on : 2009-06-01
The BBC is known to have strong support for Linux. When its iPlayer software was released, it did not take them long to release the Linux version. Compared to US TV networks, the BBC seems bent on using Linux in their own TV production. Their use of ingex, a suite of software applications designed to enable low-cost flexible tapeless television production, just proves that the BBC eats their own ...

Who says there is no undelete in Linux?

Well, not if you are using ext3! Whilst everyone is expected (yes, now I expect everyone to have back-ups of their data after featuring several back-up utilities already) to have backed-up their data, there are times when the file or folder you have accidentally deleted is more useful than your back-up. Yeah, it happens so instead of being left with a 10K back-up document instead of...

Cloning with Clonezilla
Posted on : 2009-06-01
If you are the type who manages multiple Linux computers in a laboratory, then you are familiar with HDD cloning. In my days as admin, I used to use Norton Ghost to do this with the Partition Image as the open source alternative. Today, there is another tool that is even better than Partition Image and it is called Clonezilla. What makes it better is its support for both unicasting and multicasti...

At the recent CanSecWest Applied Security Conference that was held in Canada, three computers running Mac OS X, Vista and Ubuntu Linux respectively were offered for hacking. None of the three were compromised remotely, i.e., via network access, on the first day.
The second day, with rules relaxed a bit by allowing hackers access to all applications that come bundled with the OS, the...

Adobe AIR for Linux now available
Posted on : 2009-06-01
Whilst I am not exactly a fan of Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), it is best to inform you that it is now available on the Linux platform. You can get it from Adobe's site.
So, try at your own risk. hehe. Frankly, I stay away from Silverlight and AIR, simply because I do not trust how they manage my resources.
See full article.

Nokia's N810 WiMax
Posted on : 2009-06-01
Ars Technica released a 4-page review of the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. Nokia's Internet Tablet device series can be considered as one of the most popular Linux-based devices to date. I was able to snag one of the N770s but since it wouldn't sync with my Mac, I have decided to give it to my brother but that is another story. :)
Every new iteration means more or better features. What is ...

If you are like me, an educator, then you know what I am talking about when faced with students learning computer skills in the classroom. There are times when you'd want to check if the student is actually doing the work s/he is supposed to do rather than checking out Facebook or chatting with friends. The "boss key" is easy to do since students know when you are on to them ...
