A beautiful video about LINUX. Remember me IA.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
User-submitted video from The Linux Foundation Video Site video.linuxfoundation.org Android races against Apple for supremacy. Thought I'd get maybe 5 hits on youtube but it got nearly 3000 www.youtube.com .The version I've uploaded to linux foundation is slightly updated. Linux in all it's forms is finally getting it's moment in the sun. I wanted to start working on some 3D stuff again. Hadn't touched it in almost a year and I needed to get back in the driver's seat. I found some inspiration in Android and Phandroid.com. This is a bit rough but I ran out of tweeking time....real world...real job....grumble...grumble.

i typed in the web address at the end but its gone... hmmm.... who would want to ruin open source??? *cough*m$*cough*
ReplyDeleteAwesome !
ReplyDelete@or can be XFCE or KDE or MDI heh
ReplyDelete@TheFri13 is only linux kernel all the operative system???hahahahahaha I don't know about this shit ,do you prefer linux msdos or linux gates, ?obviously not, I not talking about any fucking philosophi or deeping programing, I just love Gnu/Linux working together, is there anyone using Linux without GNU? , maybe not-yes ,but I prefer this 2 in it , so fuck 'em
ReplyDelete@evenness Linux kernel is the OS, this ad is about the OS. Linux / GNU (in that order) is a development environment what is Linux OS running GNU development tools.
ReplyDeleteYou can use Linux OS without any GNU software. In the ad the kids name is Linux. It has no last name, as you suggested it would be GNU.
The ad was only about LInux, nothing about GNU.
@TheFri13 wtf are you saying? is not there a relationship between GNU / linux?
ReplyDeleteSO??
@LTS1287 This is part of the series of similar commercicals. But others subjects are other areas where IBM is as well working. This was just for LInux with same idea. The other ads are great as well. But you are right, IBM could make more Ads about Linux. But they do not focus to desktops but to servers.
ReplyDelete@evenness GNU has nothing to do with the Linux OS. And the Ad is about OS, not about development platform.
ReplyDeleteAah wonderfull vid
ReplyDelete@imanerd36 he is a good example of humanity.
ReplyDeleteI love Linus Torvalds, he could have easy been richer than Bill Gates, but instead he just wanted to make the world a better place and increase the knowledge of the world, not just profit off of it.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteIBM did that?
ReplyDeleteExcellent presentation. I can say that Linux is freedom.
ReplyDeleteI took the ndiswrapper route but yes they all can be used to my knowledge. Personally I'll always get Atheros because you can just plug it in to any computer and it works immediately without the 2 minutes it takes to get a broadcom running. They seem to cause less problems in the long run. I had an Edimax USB card with a cool RPSMA antenna (perfect for a yagi or cantenna) that worked out of the box too but I haven't bothered to see what kind of card it is.
ReplyDeleteI've had various Broadcam cards that have all worked with Arch Linux.
ReplyDeleteBroadcom doesn't make crappy chipsets.
And FYI, installing a broadcom card can be as easy as:
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter
Linux must be everywhere... in your brain ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll put it this way, if the situation was a level playing field, and there was not a larger / more embraced support base by vendors, Ubuntu or Redhat or whatever would pull out pretty quickly, so I think it's a question of over time, MS and vendors keep providing mediocre support and you could easily see a swing, in that way, to see a preview of things to come, I always go to see what college folks are doing, and what they are doing should terrify the guys at Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteThis ad always creeped me out.
ReplyDeleteActually, nearly all hardware I've used has "just worked" as soon as I plug it in. The only problems I've had was with a wireless card and a really old scanner that didn't even work in Win xp. The problem with the wireless card was it used a broadcom chipset so I just wrapped the Windows drivers. The scanner, I had to download the driver. Tech "support" is a thing of the past anyway. Every problem so far has been or will be solved fast by the community, something closed source does not have.
ReplyDeleteI don't think hardware support in Linux is quite as poor as you are implying. It outdoes Windows in most cases since it is literally plug-and-play (no driver CDs). I've run into a slew of hardware from ten years ago, along with brand new stuff and it all just works.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess your mileage may vary. Perhaps I've been very lucky hundreds of times.
No, I think that while your grandmother is content, if she get's a new camera or something, the support rep will not know how to spell Ubuntu let alone support it.
ReplyDeleteI think Ubuntu (in particular) is a work of art, AND had it come out - say 10 years ago _would_ in fact have been a windows killer.
As the product improves at a much faster pace than does Windows, 20 years from now the tables will surely be turned, but I suspect right now we are nearing but not at the proverbial "tipping point".
You can get your Broadcom 4306 card working in Linux. It's not as easy Atheros chipsets because broadcom makes crappy cheap chipsets but you can get it running. Check the appropriate [solved] forums.
ReplyDeleteAre you thinking of Linux in the early 90s or now? My grandmother who didn't even know how to operate a mouse is using Linux. I've found Ubuntu to be better for beginners than Windoze because it does not have all the frustrations of licensing, malware, harder to install programs, etc. It's actually easier (depending on the distro) if you're using it normally.
ReplyDeleteThe only Linux is "harder" is if you're hacking it. If you don't want it to be harder, just use it like you do Windows.
If thats what linux looks like I wounder what bsd looks like?
ReplyDeletei love linux and it's foundation but..... you got to admit that the ads is suckish :S
ReplyDeletePwnt :P
