If you had the option to pick your own price for a computer game that only runs on your Linux rig, would you pay to play? Not if you are a typical Linux gamer. At least, that's the popular perception of fans of free and open source software. Linux is available freely. So why pay for a game -- or any other Linux app -- when the FOSS mantra is based on a no-cost buy-in? Source: TechWorldNews

Earlier in the year I reviewed an app called "Tap DJ," a set of virtual turntables for mixing songs on an iPhone. I had some good things to say about it, but on the downside, I thought the controls were too difficult to manage on a small touchscreen. Really good DJs aren't just standing there slapping turntables and flipping switches at random; it takes a lot of finesse to produce sound that doesn't cause physical nausea. Source: TechWorldNews

Life tends to be pretty exciting even in an ordinary week here in the Linux blogosphere, but few can be compared with the one we just endured. Not only did we learn of Google's Motorola Mobility purchase plans on Monday, but later in the week came word of HP's mother-of-all-face-palm-inspiring acts in the form of its decision to dump pretty much everything relating to webOS.

They are now looking for alternatives, tossing the biggest smartphone platform into flux and increasing the interest in what will happen to RIM -- with specific emphasis on its QNX platform.
