Clementine...for gnome and windows 06/30/2010
 Im a big fan of gnome but occasionally i have to dual boot with windows. In gnome i use banshee as my main media player, i've even come to compare it to Amarok (in KDE), although im not a KDE fan, but i'd say Amarok rocks, Then again for those KDE users looking to migrate to gnome or windows users looking for a good media player, i would recommend you try out Clementine. Clementine is a modern music player and library organizer. It's basically a port of Amarok, with the following features:

 Apple's next iPhone has finally been re-revealed. It's called iPhone 4 and it's just about everything we'd expected. Here are the best bits of news and information—aside from Steve Jobs' WWDC meltdown:
 The moment we've all been waiting for...well, probably not all, but google chrome users on Mac and Linux. The stable version is finally out, and it comes with the goodness of google chrome as expected. I recently fired up my linux machine and installed the new version, there's no much graphical change but then i recently installed "chromium browser" from the ubuntu repos, turns out this is an older version and it is not supported by the google chromium team. If u want to know more about the differences, check here . So anyways, i decided to go with google-chrome. You can install it by visiting this link  Internet approaches addressing limit 05/11/2010
 In less than 18 months there will be no more big blocks of net addresses to give out, estimates suggest.
Predictions name 9 September 2011 as the date on which the last of those tranches is released for net firms and others to use. Everything connected to the net needs an "IP address" to ensure data reaches the right person or device. Experts say that the net's entire existing address space will be exhausted about a year after that date. A newer scheme is being rolled out but many firms and countries are being slow to switch, experts warn. Linux Guitar, a rocking toy 05/10/2010

 Tonight while bored looking over some sites, i came across this link about the release on openoffice.org 3.2. I am a linux user, and frankly most times the office suites aren't exactly top notch stuff. So mostly i use Microsoft 2007 office suite with wine.(I haven't completely abandoned openoffice.org, i still have it installed). So i decided to install the new version, the support documentation said that i don't have to uninstall the previous version but i had to due to some problems with the installation. Once i finished the install and ran it, it was awesome, i opened a .docx file and it was displayed PERFECTLY. The guys at openoffice.org have done a wonderful job. Goodbye office 2007, hello openoffice.org :) Here's the installation link: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US Please let me know what you think of the release Firefox on mobile released 02/04/2010

 i usually find myself using a PC that doesn't have applications that i need. This might be because the university i go to does a complete restore everyday and whatever is installed is lost leaving me to start downloading a browser of my choice and a few other applications that i would need. But since i came across PortableApps.com; i don't need to do that, all i have to do is install the apps i need on a pendrive and i'll always have them on the go, here's more | AuthorName: Ezekiel
