How to Run Linux on a Windows Computer. Are you a Windows user who is curious to test-drive Linux (Ubuntu in particular) but without disturbing your existing Windows setup? Here are five easy ways to help you run Linux on Windows. Are you a Windows user who is curious to try Linux (Ubuntu in particular) because you have heard so many good things about the OS from your geek friends? There are two ways to use Linux on a Windows computer. You can either install the full Linux OS alongside Windows, or if you are just starting with Linux for the first time, the other easy option is that you run Linux virtually with making any change to your existing Windows setup. The former option will offer the best performance because all your system resources will be available to Linux but the latter option is absolutely risk-free and therefore recommended for novice users.
Let’s look at some of the easiest ways to use Linux on a Windows computer. A: Test-Drive Linux Online as a Web App B: Run Linux from a USB Stick or a CD. Cloud Engines unveils Pogoplug for mobile streaming. Cloud Engines is unveiling its Pogoplug Mobile device today to let mobile users stream photos, music and video from their home devices to mobile phones and tablets. The product is a mobile version of the San Francisco-based company’s multimedia streaming device for the home, the Pogoplug, which chief executive Daniel Putterman described as a “personal cloud” device.
Putterman calls this new device a “mobile cloud companion.” The device recognizes the fact that mobile storage is still too expensive and can’t keep up with the demand for storage of personal media. This kind of device will make mobile devices more capable in comparison to computers. That may prompt more people to believe that mobile devices aren’t such a big trade-off compared to tethered devices such as PCs. It frees devices from storage limits by allowing users to stream libraries of photos, music and movies from their homes to their mobile devices.
Pogoplug Mobile will be available in October for $79. Hackintosh. Even the most jaded Microsoft Windows fan will admit, grudgingly, to an occasional bout of "Mac curiosity". Since Steve Jobs' return in the late 1990s as part of Apple's acquisition of NeXT, Apple's trajectory has risen, and they currently sell several million Macs per quarter, representing (depending on whose analysis you read) about a 10% share of the domestic PC market and landing them in the top 5 computer companies in terms of U.S. sales. Their market capitalization current ranks them as the second largest company in the world, and they may overtake Exxon this year. A "Hackintosh" is a computer that runs Apple's OS X operating system on non-Apple hardware. This has been possible since Apple's switch from IBM's PowerPC processors to Intel processors a few years ago. Until recently, building a PC-based Mac was something done only by hard-core hackers and technophiles, but in the last few months, building a Hackintosh PC has become much easier.
