A new SlackDocs Wiki has been started on Alien Bob's (Eric Hameleers) server (http://taper.alienbase.nl/dokuwiki/). There is also a new mailing list (http://lists.alienbase.nl/mailman/listinfo/slackdocs) for discussion and coordination of the project. All interested parties are encouraged to visit and participate.

An anonymous reader writes: As a follow up to the story about Verizon being forced to allow tethering, the engineers at Connectify climbed on the roof and made a video showing an 85Mbps download rate through a combination of a tethered Verizon mobile phone and ALL of the available open Wi-Fi networks. It’s a darn shame that they cancelled the unlimited 3G on the Kindle, tether 20 of those bad boys and you could have had a real Internet connection.

Ubuntu's "Lucid Lynx" Enters Beta 366

Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 23, 2010 @10:32PM from the but-that-danged-button-arrangement-sucks dept.

ActionDesignStudios writes "The upcoming release of Ubuntu, titled 'Lucid Lynx,' has just entered the beta cycle. Alongside the usual desktop and server versions, a special version has been released that is designed to run on Amazon's EC2 cloud service. This release of Ubuntu does away with the brown 'Human' Gnome theme we've all become accustomed to, replaced by a new version Canonical says is inspired by light. The new release also includes much better integration with social networking services such as Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook, among others."
