First Look at Brackets for Linux - The Open Source Editor from Adobe. Adobe’s open source editor has finally come to Linux after months of hard work by the Brackets community.
Whether it ultimately dethrones your favourite editor or solidifies your choice of IDE is hard to tell at the moment, but we’ve given Brackets a quick once over to give you a taste of Adobe’s latest efforts. What’s Different Not quite native. The first thing you’ll notice when starting Brackets is that it isn’t native. If the sidebar doesn’t give it away, the lack of global menu integration or even a standard GTK contextual menu or menubar certainly will. Working with JavaScript with Brackets extensions. And much like Sublime Text, Brackets also comes with extensibility in mind. Quick editing a class and previewing a colour.
One of the unique features of Brackets is the ability to quickly edit certain elements like CSS classes or JavaScript functions where you actually use them. What Needs Work The usual caveats apply for languages that traditionally use IDEs like Java, Scala, etc. First Ubuntu Phones ‘Available October’, Says Shuttleworth. Ubuntu Founder Mark Shuttleworth With the Ubuntu Phone The first Ubuntu-powered mobile phones will be reportedly be available from October this year.
Reporting on a meeting Shuttleworth attended in New York earlier this week, Michael Hickins of the Wall Street Journal writes that the Ubuntu founder announced plans for the Phone to ship in ‘two large geographic markets’ come October of this year. October is a lot nearer than the ‘early 2014′ date previously proffered by Canonical – a date that many critics deemed to be ‘too late’ if the OS wishes to gain traction against rivals. Mozilla will launch the first handset running their web-friendly Firefox OS in South America later this year.
Other handset manufacturers, including ZTE, and over 7 major national network carriers have also announced plans to ship devices running it. Is Canonical Working on New, Custom Display Server for Unity? Canonical are evaluating different options for improving the display server in Ubuntu as it seeks to span multiple devices, Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon has recently confirmed.
The news comes by way of response to questions raised on the status of Ubuntu’s adoption of alternative display server ‘Wayland’. But before we jump to precisely what Jono has said – and what it might mean for us – let’s go over the basics of what a display server is and what Ubuntu currently uses… Display Servers, Serving You At present Ubuntu’s Unity interface runs atop X server, a sort of ‘middle-man’ used to draw the UI, and user interaction with it, on screen.
X is efficient at doing what it does but it has a problem: it is built upon code that’s almost 30 years old. A mature code-base brings with it legacy support for features and functions that are no longer needed on modern desktops, much less phones and tablets. Newer Needs. Linux fait régresser nos enfants ! Un petit troll bien ficelé sur lequel je suis tombé la nuit dernière et qui a provoqué une avalanche de commentaires pour certains hilarants, jusqu’à des salariés de Microsoft qui se proposent d’aller installer Linux dans les écoles … Nous vivons une époque extraordinaire.
Mais contrairement à Shelley the republican, le courrier adressé au blogger semble tout ce qu’il y a de plus réel, c’est d’autant plus consternant que cette femme est sensée éduquer des enfants. Enfin de notre côté, rions en. Cross-platform Trojan : Mac, Windows, Linux - Nothing safe ! Security researchers working for F-Secure have found a web exploit that detects the operating system of the computer and drops a different trojan to match.The attack was first seen on a Columbian transport website which had been hacked by a third party.
This malware is known as GetShell.A and requires users to approve a Java applet installation. It detects if you're running Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux, and then downloads the corresponding malware for your platform. The malicious files developed for each type of OS connect to the same Command & Control server that F-Secure has localized at IP address 186.87.69.249.
Karmina Aquino, a senior analyst with F-Secure said "All three files for the three different platforms behave the same way. They all connect to 186.87.69.249 to get additional code to execute. The Windows one sends the following information back to the remote attacker's CPU details, Disk details, Memory usage, OS version, and user name. Android's new ally against the iPhone: Ubuntu. Last year was a long time ago for Android.
That was when Google's mobile platform was stealing market share from all the other smartphone platforms -- winning even against the iPhone -- and beating a path toward market dominance. But Android is now facing a renewed challenge from its archrival. Android's vulnerability against the iPhone can be summed up by looking at the two biggest wireless carriers in the U.S. -- AT&T and Verizon. At AT&T, the iPhone represented 78% of all smartphone sales in the first three months of 2012. At Verizon, which had been an Android stronghold since the launch of the original Motorola Droid in October 2009, the iPhone has picked up over 50 percent of all smartphone sales for each of the past two quarters ( Q4 2011 and Q1 2012). How'd that happen? Android badly needs a new advantage against the iPhone in the next stage of the mobile platform fight. UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads.
