Ubuntu (cutting) Edge

The first official Ubuntu phone is about to come into existence via the most demanding crowd-funding campaign on  indiegogo.

Humble Indie Bundle 8

The Humble Indie Bundle 8 is here! Pay what you want for 7 cross-platform DRM-free games.

Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail

The new Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail is finally here, and together with it all the other official Ubuntu derivatives have been updated to the new version. Take it while it's hot, but don't forget that it has only 9 months of support. The next in line will be: Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander.

Humble Weekly Sale

The Humble Bundle project has come up today with a new idea: weekly sale. Every Tuesday there will be one game for sale and the price will be the same "pay what you want". Beating the average will bring you bonus content and you will receive a steam key only if you pay minimum 1 dollar.

The first game offered for sale is Bastion.

Ubuntu Gnome

Gnome is back in Ubuntu and it's here to stay.

After switching to Unity, Ubuntu has left behind the Gnome desktop environment. It was still available in the repositories to be installed, but there was no way to have it as default. Now, the Ubuntu Gnome Remix was finally accepted as an official Ubuntu flavor and rejoined the family as Ubuntu Gnome.

Welcome back Gnome!

Humble Bundle - Android 5

The Humble Bundle guys have just come up with a new bundle of games that can be played on Android (beside the usual lin, mac and win) which is the fifth edition that has games for the mobile platform. Like usually you can pay what you want but there are two bonus games that you only get if you pay more than the average.
How much would you pay?

Ubuntu Rock'n'roll

Ubuntu rocks! But will it roll?

In a message on the Ubuntu Developer Mailing List (see here), Rick Spencer has officially submitted to public debate the possibility of Ubuntu becoming a rolling release between the LTS releases. This isn't the first time that I hear rumors about this suggestion, but this time it will be discuses at the Ubuntu Developer Summit (the one that takes place next week).

What does this mean!?

Ubuntu on tablets

Big news from Canonical today: finally Ubuntu for tablets; the only device not yet officially under the Ubuntu umbrella until now. It is supposed to come with the new Ubuntu for phones flavor, but with the capability to take advantage of the bigger screen. The navigation is touch based but if you plug in a mouse and keyboard the classical Unity will appear on the screen.
