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...

Mark Shuttleworth Keynote at UDS

Canonical and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth did an entertaining and enlightening keynote for the Ubuntu Developer Summit 2010. In it he describes the work that has gone in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), The future of Ubuntu (especially the “perfect 10″), The new “Ubuntu Light” that will soon be introduced, and Ubuntu’s future commercial strategy...

Quick tips: Google Chrome on Mac

Google Chrome should belong into every browser collection, and it seems that an increasing number of people acknowledge this. The recent boost in Chrome’s market share is at least partially due to the fact that Google finally released their browser for the Mac platform, and as much as I love Safari’s speed, user interface and stability, I find myself clicking on the...

Ubuntu with a K

I’m starting to be very pissed off. “By what?” you might ask. Well, the answer has to do with cooperation. When people do things separately, their strengths become apparent. Unfortunately, their weaknesses too. Linux is a great platform because it gives choice to its users. Two of the most debated choices in the Linux ecosystem are the choice of distribution / Operating...

Is 3D the future of cinema?

For the last few years, 3D cinematography has been touted to become the next big thing. While I never had the distinguished honor of seeing classics such as Spy Kids or The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, my early experiences as a kid with 3D cinematography were amazing, as I laughed and flinched at spears, balls and other random objects being thrown at me, the whole time...

Chrome’s Continuing Ascent

Chrome 5.0 beta came out yesterday, and I realized how fast the browser has been conquering the web. About two months ago, I wrote a short article about how Chrome was the only significantly growing browser. I stated at the time that “there are many more people who would love to use Chrome than people who use it already, and they will continue to join the clan.” My...

Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” Review

In April 2004, Mark Shuttleworth began to round up a small but dedicated team to create a revolutionary Linux distribution. His goal for what was to be named Ubuntu was a full open-source operating system with cyclic releases based on the stable and powerful Debian foundation and the GNOME desktop environment, while still being easy to install and to use. Ubuntu’s success was...

Mac app: Transmit 4

Today, one of my favorite Mac apps graduated to version 4.0, and it’s absolutely awesome. Transmit 4.0 is the best FTP client I’ve seen on any platform, and the developer studio behind it, Panic, deservedly uses the motto “shockingly good Mac software” to promote it. Transmit is the Swiss army knife any web developer or power user should own: the best just...
