If they start charging to get Ubuntu, then the balance tips back in favor of the defacto "standard" OS that everyone else uses.

They aren't charging people to install Ubuntu on their laptops. They're starting to charge people for support on Ubuntu server and for in the cloud services. The only way you'll be paying for Ubuntu on your desktop is if you need support or if you want to backup your machine online with Ubuntu.

This is a GPL product. If they were to start charging for a copy, one guy would buy it then give it away for free to everyone else. That's not much of a business model for anyone.

Good thing it's all that!

They simply want to gain profit with their work and get instant famous because they ride with what's the latest. I still go for Linux because it has the fundamentals and is the foundation to the basics of OS. I'm sure if Windows did not exist, it will be up and still well-known to the public. Besides, we can do everything we want! That's enough by me.

Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain 151

Posted by timothy from the maybe-it-just-takes-more-than-6-weeks dept.
Stoobalou writes with this excerpt from Thinq.co.uk: "A new study has shown that brain training games do little to exercise the grey matter. Millions of people who have been prodding away at their Nintendo DS portable consoles, smug in the knowledge that they are giving their brains a proper work-out, might have to rethink how they are going to stop the contents of their skulls turning into mush."
