There has been a lot of talk about Android maybe making its way to various netbooks. However, thanks to the boys and girls at Canonical, Android might be taking a completely different direction when it comes to these little laptops: they're building an execution environment which will allow Android applications to run on normal Linux distributions.

Boosting
Recently I found a celebrated tutorial on boosting from Robert Schapire (from Princeton), a programming technique used widely in Machine Learning ( here ).

FreeBSD kernel support in Debian
According to news , Debian got released along with another open source kernel FreeBSD kernel. According to my experiences, benefit software architecture always benefit from introducing generic abstract interfaces above resources. The fact that it is already possible in a GNU operating system over kernel APIs is over the proof-of-concept furthermore will likely to elicit more convergence in platforms which is also desirable.

Firefox plugins in IE 8.1
As it seems, IE slowly recongizes the power of open source and in general the merits of the open and standardized technologies. According to the Smashing Magazine, IE 8.1 tries to get the wind out of the sail and success of Firefox by being able to use Firefox plugins in the new IE.

Android on Netbooks
For long Google denied the existance and purpose to release a Google desktop operating system instead targeted for the networked "desktop" environment. However, once upon a time they decided to make an iPhone like software for HTC hardware to release a first G mobile. Since this is based on Linux it was not a huge step to move toward the desktop. To enter the market in these hard times is only possible when no royalty fee applies. Netbooks are already sold with quarter priced XPs ($16) so it will be a one more head kick to M$.
We will see what will come out of this. here

Matrix factorizations
One of the fellow of Geoffrey Gordon, named Ajit Singh gave a talk on matrix factorizations techniques.
Why is this so important?
We believe that the world is inherently simple (ie. Occams razor), however, we just see a projection of this that makes it difficult to perceive it in its simple form. Interestingly, the projection may even be linear transformation and this will enable us to see things in this particularly simple form. I call things being simple if only a few causes (factor loadings) are active at a time. If applying projections on these causes will fit the observed data than we can assume that we are likely to know the true causes. But Ajit talks much clearer about this...

Intel's operating system
Our beloved Onews.com announced the hidden developed new operating system by Intel.
This is extremely fast. The boot up time is about the third of an ubuntu on the same machine.
(less then 10 seconds)
It is told to be based on ubuntu but during the development it has shifter toward fedora. Interestingly it uses .deb. From this speed I have two conclusions:
- Finally, someone took the time and the effort to look through the already extreme number of services running in a general purpose linux distro (such as ubuntu and co.)
- Developers will likely to be faced with lot of hardware issues I suspect so stable version won't come easy and nor support will be very much limited.
We will see however I am very much hoping to have something really new on desktop.
