IDEs With VIM Text Editing Capability? 193

Posted by timothy on Wednesday December 30, 2009 @03:30PM from the one-keybinding-to-rule-them-all dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I am currently looking to move from text editing with vim to a full fledged IDE with gdb integration, integrated command line, etc. Extending VIM with these capabilities is a mortal sin, so I am looking for a linux based GUI IDE. I do not want to give up the efficient text editing capabilities of VIM though. How do I have my cake and eat it too?"

Behind the Scenes In Apple Vs. the Record Labels 146

je ne sais quoi writes "The New York Times recently posted an article describing what really happened between Apple and the Record labels that culminated with the January 6th Macworld Keynote by Apple Senior VP Phil Schiller." Essentially they discuss a bit of a swap: Apple allowed variable pricing for songs and the industry allowed DRM free music. And apparently the iTunes homepage is a huge hit making device. Big shock.

This is the beginning of the scrambling by big companies to get a piece of the linux hardware market. Many large players missed the boat - and now with the success of the iPhone, and the upcoming Google phone (OpenMoko being a shadow of what the google phone could become) hardware players are getting nervous that they've ignored something significant. In some cases, they've ignored it perhaps because the big players in the Cell industry have told them to stay away. Meanwhile, Linux/ARM-based devices have been quietly improving and projects like DD-WRT, NSLU2-Linux, FreeNAS, and other embedded hardware projects are gaining popularity among hobbyists - all the big players are taking notice and want in on the action. Since Linksys released the WRT54GS with linux internals, the game has changed. Folks want to tweak their hardware to extend its capabilities and Intel needs tools and expertise to play in this sector.

kramer2718 asks: "I go through a lot of batteries in my digital camera, remote controls, etc. I'd like to go to the rechargeable route for the environment and for my pocketbook, but I don't know which rechargeable batteries are the best. Can anyone out there give me some advice about which brand and types of batteries work well?"
