There's been a remarkable shift in attitudes toward the cloud over the years and a new survey shows a surprisingly positive feeling, but that doesn't mean IT still doesn't have to ask cloud vendors the tough questions.

Subject: Screen Lock Vs Login Screen in the upcoming Gnome
Gnome developers work on a Screen Lock that is useful mostly for touch devices. They also work in a new Login Screen. The main purpose of screen lock is obviously to prevent accidentally actions to happen in the system. While Screen Lock shares lot of similarities with Login Screen -currently GDM- , it seems that these two aren’t compatible and will not be merged.

The most immediately important story has to do with a ruling made by a Washington, DC federal appeals court that will definitely slow down the trolls and might put them out of business altogether. Basically the ruling requires patent holders to sue each alleged offender separately and not bunch them together in a single lawsuit. Daniel Fisher at Forbes explains it this way:

Subject: HD Widgets Turn Ugly UIs Into Things of Beauty
HTC is on its fourth incarnation of Sense, and in my opinion, no one has come close. In fact, they've got nowhere near. However, a browse around the Play Store will uncover downloadable themes, sets of widgets and UIs, one of which is HD Widgets Beta from Cloud TV.

I think that is a common question for every Linux user soon or later in their career of desktop or server administrator “Why Linux uses all my Ram while not doing much ?”. To this one today I’ve add another question that I’m sure is common for many Linux system administrator “Why the command free show swap used and I’ve so much free Ram ?”, so from my study of today on SwapCached i present to you some useful, or at least i hope so, information on the management of memory in a Linux system.

Subject: In bid for patent sanity, judge throws out entire Apple/Motorola case
One of the most outspoken judges in the craziness that is the US patent system made a bold move tonight, throwing out a lawsuit in which Apple and Motorola were seeking injunctions against each other's mobile products.US District Court Judge Richard Posner previously canceled a jury trial in Chicago in the case, and then castigated both Apple and Motorola while calling the entire US patent system chaos. Posner issued a ruling late today (Scribd link) that shows he wasn't just joking.
