Linux Kernel 2.6.33 Released - Android Code Removed |
 |
 |
 |
Kernel version 2.6.33 was released on last Wednesday. The changelog shows that the Android code has been removed from the kernel tree. The KernelNewbies report states that "Google doesn't seem to have interest in improving the Android drivers to have minimum quality standards which could allow to merged them in the main Linux tree and share them with the rest of community." Perhaps this is an attempt to spur Google into "giving back" some of the advances they have to the kernel, as there are many area's other than just Android where this has been an issue. Google has stated that they intend to try harder to get their code merged into the trunk kernel, maybe this will encourage them to do so. A more detailed article on this subject can be found here. --Lynn Ex. |
Tablets seem to be cropping up everywhere these days ever since Apple introduced the iPad. Here are just a few others that seem to stand out.
MSI's tablet looks like a nice little Android device. Dell's new tablet is also eye catching and comes in on a smaller scale. And of course, we will see many tablets this year that run Windows 7, such as the HP Slate.

Jason Holt and his team of engineers at Google have developed a really neat product called Liquid Galaxy. Even though it's only a part time project of theirs, this video makes it look pretty amazing. The project was originally named "The Holodeck." That was back when it limited to only showing Google Street View. Since then it has evolved to into much more. The application is basically a modified version of Google Earth that has been made to run across multiple nodes. Here is a December blog post about the app from Jason Holt himself.
