I see a lot of distrust of the Tizen interface, and even though I'm not a big fan of tiles, Samsung uses EFL as UI framework and has in it's payroll Carsten Haitzler (Rasterman) and Cedric Bail, the main developers of Enlightenment, which I think, grants that the end product will be quite good.

More importantly, are the algorithms open and not encumbered by any patents ?
Will there be software, except Netflix that is, that will use them ?

The real incentive is to be one of the best high-schoolers in the world at something you enjoy doing.
Also I went to the Olympics because it allowed me to skip some of the other boring classes to allow me to focus on programming. Too bad I never got that far. :)

Wayland, a New X Server For Linux 487
An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has a new article out on Wayland: A New X Server For Linux. One of Red Hat's engineers has started writing a new X11 server around today's needs and to eliminate the cruft that has been in this critical piece of free software for more than a decade. This new server is called Wayland and it is designed with newer hardware features like kernel mode-setting and a kernel memory manager for graphics. Wayland is also dramatically simpler to target for in development. A compositing manager is embedded into the Wayland server and ensures 'every frame is perfect' according to the project's leader."
