So I was forced to get a netbook with Windows 7 preinstalled (duh, it was either that or good ol’ XP)
Aside from the “significant” UI changes one immediately sees when taking a first look at Windows 7, I was wondering where all the good stuff is hidden, since many changes have apparently (at least according to the last 8 to 6 months’ worth of Windows 7 news items) been made “under the hood”.
Well, I decided to take a look “under the hood” and is is what I saw. Brings a tear to my eye.
By the way, don’t let the German language scare you away 
I personally have seen enough and am blowing away this install with some Fedora. What about you guys?
While yours truly still remains in the Firefox camp, the speed of Google Chrome development is almost scary.
Bookmark syncing (via Xmarks in my case) is a must-have for users like me (and likely some of you) who are constantly on the go and use multiple machines to do their work. Now you can sync your Chrome, Chromium bookmarks on Windows, the Mac and last but not least, LINUX.
To enable sync, just use the command –enable-sync
You will need a Google Account to perform a synchronization.
Chromium is shaping up to be a delightful little beast, let’s see how much time it will take for them to replace all my Firefox plugins. The browser scene is much more interesting than a few years ago.

Finally, my internet connection is set up. Sorry it took so long, guys. See you in the next few days, have to think about what to write. How does a netbook distro review sound?

And finally, we have more info on the upcoming Nokia n900 Linux-based phone. The new phone features a transition from the S60 platforms, Nokia decided to use their Maemo platform, originally used only on their Internet tablets. The new Freemantle (code name for Maemo 5) version of Maemo represents a transition to the QT toolkit, although GTK+ support remains in the Debian-based OS. The phone will retail for 550 EUR and is coming out later this year. If you like Linux phones, this could be the right one for you. I personally prefer a REAL Linux environment over Android’s Java layer.
