Ubuntu TV: The Community Wish List Is Taking Shape
Updated: 2012-06-25 14:55:08In early January of this year, at the Consumer Electronics Show, Canonical took the wraps off of Ubuntu TV, which has drawn a mix of praise and criticism since then. If you haven't taken a peek at how Ubuntu TV works, there is a video available here. It's a new interface that integrates television and movie content on an open source platform that Canonical hopes will win developers over. The interface is based on Unity, the controversial interface that many Ubuntu users have wrestled with. Now, on the Ubuntu wiki, developers are seeking input on what to build for Ubuntu TV, and you can make your voice heard.Update for Windows Update has Teething Troubles

Updated: 2012-06-19 10:45:55Hi Eric,
I spoke too soon. iOS 5 now supports JSON out of the box. I am still working with a third party library which was needed in iOS 4 and earlier, and to stay backward compatible with those versions.
Anyways, it should have been supported a lot earlier considering the fact that AFAIK, Android has had it since the very beginning.

Updated: 2012-06-13 23:00:11Why hasn't The Linux Foundation stepped up to be an alternate (and if I may add more trustworthy) key signer?! Microsoft is engaging in blatantly anticompetitive practice here, and The Linux Foundation, Red Hat, and Canonical ought to collaborate in calling them on it and maybe even taking them to court. In the meantime, if secure boot requires a key signer, why does it have to be Verisign-by-way-of-Microsoft? Why not step up to the plate, Linux Foundation? - Michael Nachtigal...

I'm sympathetic to Garrett's arguments about users being frightened by the prospect of making UEFI changes. But, I've become less so since installing Fedora 17 and deciding that doing that right now can be a daunting prospect for neophytes. Garrett's arguments work better with something like Ubuntu, which targets those neophytes. Fedora clearly targets experienced Linux users. Or, maybe there's disagreement in the Fedora camp about that.
A rational approach to pre-boot malware would see the Windows installer throw up a big red scary notice when it finds Secure Boot is not enabled. Whether the install could complete without enabling it is a choice I'm happy to leave to Microsoft. Linux and everyone else would be left alone.
- joncrLooking for a good end-user benefit of UEFI bios
Updated: 2012-06-10 06:15:28Looking for a good end-user benefit of UEFI bios
UEFI seems to be a jail. If you are in, you are safe, if you are out, you can't get in (to boot your system)
Why do we not do security by having a "saved system concept for operating systems"?
Here is what I call a saved system.
We install linux or other system to a certain point in the installation after we create a user. We then initiate a memory image save. When you need to use the system, boot this saved system. It will load and run. When finished, you log out. To return you have to reload the saved system.
Whatever virus was installed while you were logged in, is gone. The saved system is always a clean system.
A saved system should boot in 5 to 10 seconds. - lsatensteinsamsung helping the linux foundation
