With today's updates, Canonical upgraded the default web browser to Mozilla Firefox 15.0, in all its supported Ubuntu operating systems.

Better management of memory and updates highlight the latest release of the Mozilla Foundation's Web browser, Firefox 15. Firefox's development team has steadily improved the browser's memory management over recent months, but with this release of the program, it's targeting a major contributor to the software's piggish memory ways: add-on applications.

Subject: Ubuntu Alternate CDs Could Be Dropped For 12.10
Steve Langasek, Ubuntu release manager, has proposed on the Ubuntu-devel mailing list to drop the alternate CDs for Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/ubuntu-alternate-cds-could-be-dropped.html
In every new release, Ubuntu loses something from upstream Gnome. This time in Quantal is the drop of Nautilus 3.6 and Gnome Control Center 3.6 (not quite sure about it yet). But things aren’t so bad. Thanks to Rico Tzschichholz and Ubuntu Gnome Community people, Gnome 3.6 looks almost perfect in Quantal! And things will get even better in 13.04 ;)

Subject: Samsung Ruling Could Alter Technology Power Balance
There were a lot of reasons not to like the ruling last week in the Apple-Samsung trial, but to me the most compelling one was that it altered the balance of power in the technology industry, making Apple far too strong.

Subject: CodeWeavers releases CrossOver 11.2.1 and gives it away for free
CodeWeavers, the company behind CrossOver and Wine, has released CrossOver 11.2.1. CrossOver Linux not only allows to run games such as Diablo III and Left 4 Dead, but it also supports running of other Windows applications like Microsoft Office 2010. CrossOver is currently the easiest way to install Steam and the games from the Steam catalog on Linux.

It reminds me a lot of Bridge Linux in most ways, and it does have a few additional niceties.

The Distrowatch page says that it "uses APT for RPM and Synaptic as its package management tools." I felt this was right up my alley, as PCLinuxOS, my chosen distro, also uses APT for RPM and Synaptic.

Good News Everyone! Thanks to Ubuntu Gnome Community and Jeremy Bicha, it seems that the popular distribution will ship a flavor with a relatively pure GNOME experience, on the next release cycle, in October 18. At this point the effort is community based, but hopefully GNOMEbuntu will make it as Canonical’s official spin, similar to Kubunt, Xubuntu etc in 13.04 release.
