Yoxos

It turns out that Yoxos can be configured as a simple Eclipse update site. So here's my new best practice:


- setup eclipse from a stock download from eclipse.org


- add http://update1.yoxos.com as update site


- use normal Eclipse update management to get Mousefeed, AnyEdit, TestNG, Subclipse, etc. from Yoxos

AnandTech: NVIDIA's Ion Platform: Blu-ray Investigation

(This is really just a test post from Diigo. But the ION platform is interesting.)

  • tags: no_tag

    • Intel never intended for Atom to be compared to modern day processors; the core will eventually compete against ARM processors, nothing from the x86 world. It’s being heavily used in netbooks today simply because it’s not small enough or low power enough to be used in anything significantly more svelte.

    • For the Ion review I was playing unencrypted Blu-ray content
      • Interesting. What about encrypted? - post by dserebren

Ah, very nice! Diigo posts have pictures!

Gnome Applets

Just found a few useful applets in Gnome:


* gnome-blog - post blog entries on many blog services right from the gnome pannel (this is actually a test of this applet)


* Gimmie - looks really cool. Document-centric desktop organization that seems to actually work.


* file-browser-applet - browse file system from the Gnome pannel. Like KDE. Finally. But not yet in Ubuntu distro (as of Hardy). So need to download manually.
