Free means no charge and there are no ads. You only pay if you want to use advanced features that you need to have an Office 365 subscription to unlock.
It seems they are referring to "Ubuntu for Android" now that they've provided a link to what they are referring to.
The Atrix had a dock which turned the Android phone into an Android tablet.
No. The Atrix had a dock that provided a desktop that used a modified Ubuntu.
The Atrix 4G was one of the first Motorola devices to ship with its Webtop platform. When the phone is placed into its HD Multimedia Dock or Laptop Dock accessories, the user can access an Ubuntu-based desktop featuring access to the phone and its applications via the Mobile View'application, integration of Android notifications into the desktop, multimedia playback through Entertainment Center, file management through Nautilus, and the Firefox web browser (along with support for Prism for the site-specific browsers used on Webtop mode).[19]
Ubuntu hacked a Motorola Atrix so it ran Android when you used it like a phone, but plug it into a dock and suddenly it became a full blown Linux desktop. That's a concept ripe with potential. Doesn't have to be Android of course, but just the idea that it's a phone when you carry it around but you can use it as a computer too with a dock with some ports on it.
Bzzzt, wrong. Motorola is the one that implemented the modified Ubuntu desktop when docking the Atrix. It was not Canonical that did that.
Node.js.
Soulskill a journalist? You best be joking...
You should read the article. It doesn't say what Soulskill is claiming.
No, Apple isn't looking to buy it nor does the article that Soulskill linked even say that. Soulskill made up the claim entirely.
No, Soulskill is full of shit. VentureBeat is not claiming that Apple is looking to acquire DDG. It's an article making a case for why that person thinks they should buy DDG.
*is* looking to buy them, of course.
Except there is no evidence that Apple isn't looking to buy them. Soulskill was just making things up.
Their success is beginning to fuel speculation about an acquisition, with Apple a top contender to buy DuckDuckGo.
Except that there is no such speculation. No where in the link does it say that there are acquisition talks. It is just someone's opinion that Apple should buy them.
But now I can more easily share links on social media! Just what not a single Slashdot reader was clamoring for all these years.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. If they are as competent at blowjobs as they are at UI design, you'll probably end up with a chunk of your cock bitten off.
