Open Source Way

Open Source For America from Red Hat

The open source way is about possibility.
Open source presents a new way to solve old problems. To share ideas and effort.

The open source way opens doors.
Open source offers a new perspective. Open, not closed. Collaboration, not isolation.

The open source way multiplies.
Knowledge. Effort. Inspiration. Creativity. Innovation. The impact is exponential.

xubuntu 10.4 is broken !

please dont waste your time trying to upgrade to xubuntu 10.4 if you have a hp compaq presario a900 because the keyboard will DIE after the first boot after install ! It took me one hour to discover this and another hour to reinstall xubuntu 9.10 to fix it !

xubuntu 9.10 is'nt perfect either but at least the keyboard works enough to let you login !

goog goes ocr

Just noticed that when i take a photo on my android with goog goggles it also sends the photo to goog ocr ! I recently took a photo of London IMAX and goog goggles took me straight to site of the advert ("worlds first LED HDTV") that was on the side of the London IMAX !

And on a slightly related topic goog docs can instantly convert (OCR?) a PDF into HTML !
