Comment: GUI Vs CLI (Score 1) 933

by freshlimesoda (#41169059) Attached to: How Apple Killed the Linux Desktop
For the reason most Unix / Linux enthusiasts love CLi so much, to a point they hate GUI associated with it. While GUI is what is exactly needed to penetrate masses - reason why MS became so popular, and with steady income growth in '3rd Tier' countries more people can now afford Apple products - again GUI based (plus glamourous image of Apple" that Apple is consistently doing well. My point is, that an attractive design is to hardware, what GUI is to software. Apple does both very well. Its the late development / awakening of GUI relevance that made Linux loose out in addition to geeky image that it held for years - still does. On Servers, CLI is fine.

freshlimesoda writes "VMware will abolish its much-maligned vRAM licensing scheme with the release of vSphere 5.1 at next week’s VMworld 2012 conference, sources said, and these reports are music to administrators’ ears.

The company had introduced the virtual RAM (vRAM) pricing scheme last summer with the launch of vSphere 5 but will move back to physical CPU-based licensing."

+ - Assange row: Britain doesn't know who it is dealing with, Ecuador president says->

Submitted by freshlimesoda
freshlimesoda writes "Ecuador President Rafael Correa has warned Britain that any attempt to storm its embassy in London — over asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — would destroy relations between the two countries.

Correa, in his weekly address to the nation, delivered a strong warning to Britain, and described London's stance as "grotesque" and "intolerant", the Daily Mail reported.

He said if British police "violated Ecuador's diplomatic mission" in London, it would destroy ties between the two countries."
