Once you click on your user name in the GDM login, you can change the default desktop to Gnome's original shell in the bottom panel.

He just kept it where he kept his cigars...

apple is a design company and not an engineering company, jobs is a minimalist his philosophy has been think of what you don't do and not what you can do. That is why their OS did not even have multi-tasking, average joe does not care if your OS can multi task, but he need to be able to make phone calls and check his email, and play casual games. That said, I think jobs should find real reasons if he claims that his product is better. No doubt apple product looks "prettier" than any andriod product out there, he should have just said, we make pretty phones and your phones are just too damn ugly. I could probably agree with that.

Politricksters & Bureaucrats trying to make a quick buck... "want to talk ... pay up son .... or we will silence you"

This is how communist maintain control. Your friendly neighbour reports you to the authorities,,,

Advocates of closed source software claim that by their source being closed, adds more security to their products... now I am confused...

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/government/microsoft-turns-over-all-win7-and-server-source-code-to-russias-new-kgb/9191 So they already have the source code for W7, they probably need someone inside of msft so that bugs they find in the code will get fixed...

You need logic, reasoning, analytical abilities and some sort of capacity to "think outside the box". Some people are naturally born with it, some have to train for it. School does that to you, 4-6 yrs of training molds your brain a certain way, but there are no guarantees that you will become a good programmer if you dont have the aptitude for it. Sure some ppl have trained monkeys to pick stocks, but you need a lot more than that to pick them consistently. Similarly, you need to have a solid foundation if you want to start building a career in software technologies... You dont need a degree to make money in software ... look at Bill Gates.

Msft already tried to fight a proxy war with linux through SCO and lost. Msft lawyers are smart enough to know that they will hurt themselves if they sue linux businesses. They are obviously after Google, again msft has to resort to ugly tactics to push bad products down consumers throats.

What you need is an N900, skype, google talk/voice integration, wifi/3G, open smartphone running (debian) maemo5

why is that a good quality operating system like Ubuntu (or other linux distros to be fair), which is given away for free not able to replace Windows or OSX.? 1. Lack of advertisement or consumer education, average joe does not know that there is an option. 2. Lack of OEM carrying Ubuntu pre-installed products, only dell does it so far. 3. Lack of apps used by people on daily basis, apps like Adobe photoshop, tax software, games etc. What are you doing in order to address these three basic hurdles in the path of Linux adoption in mainstream computer consumer market?
