Submission + - MS's CoApp to help OSS devolpment, deployment (msdn.com) 1
badpazzword writes: "Microsoft employee Garrett Serack announces he has received the green light to work full time on CoApp, an .msi-based package management system aiming to bring a wholly native toolchain for OSS development and deployment. This will hopefully bring more open source software on Windows, which will conversely bring OSS more users, testers and developers. Serack is following the comments at Ars Technica, so he might also follow them here. The launchpad project is already up."
Submission + - PS3 Owner Refunded for Missing OtherOS (blogspot.com)
Toxicgonzo writes: Amazon has given a PS3 owner a 20% refund for removal of the PS3's OtherOS feature. The owner cited European law Directive 1999/44/EC — which states that goods must:
* comply with the description given by the seller and posses the same qualities and characteristics as other similar goods
* be fit for the purpose which the consumer requires them and which was made known to the seller at the time of purchase
How many other European PS3 owners will follow suit? If Amazon foots the bill to Sony, how will Sony respond?

Submission + - Inkjet-like device prints cells on burns (yahoo.com)
TigerWolf2 writes: Inspired by a standard office inkjet printer, U.S. researchers have rigged up a device that can spray skin cells directly onto burn victims, quickly protecting and healing their wounds as an alternative to skin grafts.
Tests on mice showed the spray system, called bioprinting, could heal wounds quickly and safely, the researchers reported at the Translational Regenerative Medicine Forumb.

Sounds like what they really want is Chrome OS, then. (When it'll be out, that is.)

Considered that "Service Unavailable" is one of today's "tending topics" on Twitter, I'd say that's a bit more than one CDN node.

Car analogy fail. Windows isn't offering download links for Mac OS X or Linux. Try again.

I didn't say it pops up at the first boot. Actually it didn't for me when I installed Ubuntu 9.10.

That's because you shouldn't have done a manual installation in the first place!
