As the Ubuntu’s new tag line says “It’s time for a change.”, indeed a lot of change has been implemented to the operating system, applications and the interface. There are few which you will find it interesting and useful and while few others might annoy you because of a sudden change.
I never liked Ubuntu much, and it seems many people are complaining against it saying that the move to have the buttons at the left hand side (close, maximize, minimize) like we have in Apple OS was a bad one. People find the sudden shift hard to come to terms with.

The best thing about Ubuntu linux is it’s ability to read and write data on a Windows based NTFS partitions. This has been defaulted ever since the release of Ubuntu 8.04 with inbuilt support for NTFS read and write. And if you have Ubuntu installed as a multiboot along with a windows installation, it is must to have NTFS drive with read/write support enabled to access data easily.
Though there is support for NTFS drives, they doesn’t get mounted automatically during the startup. You either need to mount it from Disk Utility or by just opening the drive. So to over come this issue and get your NTFS drives auto-mounted during the startup, you must install “NTFS Configuration Tool.”

Soon after seeing the Ubuntu’s Facebook status update, I headed over to #ubuntu-release-party IRC channel on freenode. It was really crowded over there with 1300+ users online in a single room.
Just after few minutes, there were links being pasted by people. And they had kept their eyes so wide open, they had tracked each and every changes on Ubuntu’s download pages. So they finally managed to get the download links before it is being announced officially!
So get it while it’s hot over here.

Recently, I tweeted about Bing’s image search result page for mobile phones. If you have ever searched for images on Bing from your mobile device, you might probably have liked it. Because of the way how thumbnails are being arranged in the result page, it makes Bing to stand out from other search engines. Bing uses some technology known as ‘Seadragon’ to achieve that output.
Taking a cue from Bing’s image search, Google has now come up with a shiny new Image search result page for iPhone 3.0 and Andriod 2.1 devices. Google’s new image search result page not only arrange thumbnails in perfect rows and columns, but also responds to your touch inputs like swiping to see next image and taping the screen to see next result page.
