Google Buzz: Quality vs. quantity

The social media landscape is very complex. In other domains within IT competition is much easier to understand. Take the so-called “browser wars” for example: Microsoft, Mozilla, Google, Apple, Opera, and others are constantly improving their browsers to gain marketshare. But all-in all, the browsers are the same. Some are faster, some have more functions, but their...

Linux App: Ailurus

If you’re like me, you can never stand the default interface provided to you by your vendor or OS manufacturer. I hate Windows’ “Start” button, the lack of an organized menu for applications, the lack of the “scale windows” feature (called “expose” on Mac OS), etc. I hate the mac OS interface for the lack of a comprehensive application menu, the missing...

Overview and Explanation of Linux Desktop Environments

Jeff Hoogland is currently studying mathematics in Chicago. He is a huge believer in Linux and says that we will see Microsoft crumble at some point in the next twenty years. Jeff is guest writer at TechHaze, you can find his excellent personal blog at http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/ Something most new Linux users often struggle to understand when first using Linux is the...

What Supercomputers Mean to Linux

Every 6 months, top500.org provides an updated list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers on the planet. The data they provide contains not only the manufacturer of the machine–as Hans Meuer’s list has done since the mid 80′s–but also information about the owner, the country, the computer’s architecture and of course, the operating system. If you...

Gnome-Shell and Unity: The Future Ubuntu Interfaces

One of the reasons I love Linux so much is that It provides you with the choice of numerous Desktop Environments (DE) and Window Managers (WM). I love good interface design but I get bored very fast. Also, I believe that interface design is getting old and clustered and lacks innovation. Linux gives me the possibility to install new things, try out new ways to interact with my...

360° videos for your viewing pleasure

I’m sure you’ve all heard about 3D videos – and maybe even experienced it in theaters by now -, but what about 360° videos? What would a product in which the boundaries between videogames and movies are shrunk be like? Imagine a movie in which you would handle the camera, or one in which you’d even take key decisions, altering the outcome of the plot. Such...

Steam on Mac, or lack thereof

Two days ago, Valve released their immensely popular gaming platform, “Steam”, for Mac. Steam had been in beta for a while and the anticipation was great. Steam was set to put an end to whining teenagers claiming that Macs are for “fags” because you can’t shoot people with them. Oh, the joys of blood spattered screens and timeless nights spent saving...

Watch NASA’s live feed of STS-132

This is it. The beginning of the end. Atlantis will lift off for the last time May 14, 2:20 p.m. EDT. It’s Atlantis’ last launch, and Atlantis will be the first Space Shuttle to retire. This is a very symbolic moment for everyone working at NASA, since the Space Shuttle has been the only way Americans have been independently accessing space for nearly thirty years. NASA...
