Submission + - Linux Performance Metrics
Robert Stinnett writes: "In this months issue of MeasureIT from the Computer Measurement Group (CMG) they present an interesting article on virtualizing Linux servers on a zSeries system. The author shows how you can recapture idle CPU cycles by growing and shrinking the Linux footprint as needed to do away with otherwise wasted cycles and give them back to other virtual sessions running on the system. An interesting read at how to approach topics such as virtualization in your organization by looking at the capacity planning and metrics behind it — even if you don't use a zSeries (mainframe)."
Submission + - Google security flaw
jbrodkin writes: "Google's desktop search application contained a security flaw that, until recently, would have allowed hackers to take control of a user's computer and access personal files. Google claims to have fixed the problem but a security software firm that discovered the flaw says the Google Desktop application is ripe for abuse.

Submission + - Apple a 'worst nightmare' for CE makers
ender24 writes: Apple's move into the consumer electronics market is a living nightmare for incumbents in that space. CE manufacturers now realize that Apple is their new worst nightmare. Many experts first thought the success of iTunes/iPod was a fluke. Today, pundits painstakingly track how Apple's revenues shifted so much towards iTunes/iPod sales. So, says an article on the Streaming Magazine website.
Submission + - Underwater sea cables repair completed
ocknock writes: The International Herald Tribune is reporting that the underwater sea cables damaged in the December 2006 earthquake have all been repaired.
While voice and network traffic had been re-routed to compensate for the damaged cables, it will be interesting how the restoration to full bandwidth will affect those users.

Submission + - ESR gives up on Fedora and switches to Ubuntu
Jack Malmostoso writes: Eric S. Raymond is pretty pissed at Fedora after "an attempt to upgrade one (1) package pitched me into a four-hour marathon of dependency chasing, at the end of which an attempt to get around a trivial file conflict rendered my system unusable.".
So, "After thirteen years as a loyal Red Hat and Fedora user" he decides to switch to Ubuntu, even though he "[is] not expecting Ubuntu to be perfect".
Will ESR be missed in the Fedora world? Or more importantly, will he be loved in the Ubuntu community?

Submission + - Vista not selling well because of...piracy?
techmuse writes: DailyTech reports that Steve Ballmer blames the slow sales of Windows Vista (down 60% compared to the launch of Windows XP) not on the 5 year delay in shipping, the failure to ship before the holiday season, the high system requirements, the poorly implemented user account control, the significantly harsher licensing restrictions, the price increase, the increased interest in Mac OS and Linux, or the much stricter antipiracy technologies already built into the OS. Rather, he blames the entire drop in sales on piracy, and promises to step up antipiracy efforts. What do you think?
