"The Linux Planet never stops spinning, and this past week was no exception. We saw the end of an era at Groklaw, the beginning of a new era at GNOME and Linux continuing to push forward in the embedded market.
"We also saw more Android FUD being resolved this past week as Google once again reconfirmed its commitment to open source and Linux."

"Today there was an announcement from Tencent and Intel launching a joint Innovation Centre in Shanghai. The partnership isn?t brand spanking new, as they announced their official courtship back in April 2010, but what is new is their renewed vigour and Tencents dedication to bring games to MeeGo tablets. We can only imaging that after Nokia lessened their commitment Intel, smartly enough, looked to where MeeGo?s uptake would happen quickest. China is a perfect breeding ground for MeeGo since the unhappiness with Android is rampant with it being kind of open and full of malware because of third party stores.

"Ford's Sync comes in two basic flavors: one without the mapping software and one with. The Fiesta's dash doesn't have room for the maps, sadly, and so you have to go through some gyrations to get the turn-by-turn directions. The best way is to go to Google Maps on your PC before your trip and enter your starting and ending points. Google has been enhancing its mapping software service, and one button that I haven't noticed until now is labeled "SEND." You can choose to send it to your Sync-equipped car, to various Onstar vehicles, and a few others, as well as to an add-on GPS unit or to an email account. It is pretty spooky, because if you choose to send it to your car, it waits for your phone to pair up, with your car and then downloads the turns."
