Google Nexus One
Google released their own branded phone, Nexus One. That is with 3.7" OLED screen and a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon. So, it should be super fast, may be faster than iPhone 3GS too. The most impressive function is voice enabled keyboard. Rather than typing, you can speak what you want to type in a textbox.
But that is an interesting point Nexus is manufactured by HTC. I am thinking wheather it is a Google Version HTC phone, same as Google I/O = HTC Magic.

XUbuntu is quick as well.
Google Chrome OS is simple and quick. Please don't forget XUbuntu as well. Although XUbuntu is not customized for Atom, but that is light-weighted and fast. I got a VM with 512MB, that took less than 30 seconds to boot up. Moreover, that is a completed OS, not just a browser only!
No e-cards for this Christmas
Our friends started to use a paper christmas card rather than ecards. Because that is more human touches. I still spend some ecards out, but every one turned back to ask whether that is a virus. Yes, so many virus is to pretend an ecard. So, I need to start using a traditional paper based card!
KUbuntu New Interface
I have the new interface, that is not major changes of new internet I found so far. The task bar and Widgets are nearly same as 9.04. That is still 9.X. So, I believe that is not major changes. Anyway, the interface looks more more pretty!
Upgarding to Kubuntu 9.10
Kubuntu 9.10 is released for a little while. But I still have not time to upgarde. Today, I will start to work around lunch time, so I have free time on the morning. Yes, I am doing a upgarde now.
I clicked the notification icon first times, but I forgot to close Adept. For upgarding, you need to close it. After I closed it, the notification icon is gone! There is a helpful command, ALT-F2, then type in the box,update-notifier-kde -u. The upgarding window will pop up.
Well, the upgarding process is still going, that takes around 2 hours.
