10 best alternative operating systems Right now, someone, somewhere is developing the killer operating system feature of the future - a feature that will change computing and make us wonder how we lived without it. However, the person responsible probably isn't grafting away in the labs of Microsoft, Apple or Red Hat - he or she is more likely to be working in a bedroom or loft. Big companies can grow reticent to change, slow to move and adopt new technologies. Features must be escalated through approval bodies, management and bean-counters.

It might seem audacious to claim that the next Windows is cooking in some part-time coder's house, but it's nothing new. The most successful projects often begin life in ways we'd never expect, and it can take a while for their potential to be fully realised. Into the future We'll look at the best alternative operating systems, with the potential to change the computing landscape over the next decade. 9. 8.

Colorize Black and White Photos using Recolored Cool Open Source Games you should contribute to | Shinnok's Rants [Update1 20-07-2011] As per numerous requests, the games list has been updated with some more cool games that I’ve missed. They have been prepended to the top of the list and as before, they are in no particular order. While the popular conception when it comes to games for Linux is that they are almost non-existent, this is only true when it comes to big and popular commercial franchises that are backed up by giant video game studios and publishers like EA Games, Blizzard and Konami. On the other hand, Linux(and other platforms like *BSD) benefits from a myriad of open source and free games, some smaller for casual gaming and others more impressive like MMORPG’s and FPS’s that could compete with some of the commercial games out there in their branch either in the current state or given some fresh amount of contribution. 1. 2. 3.
