There are some improvements (UI wise), and a bunch of bug fixes.

A list of changes would include:

* Change from F-Spot to Shotwell

* The Sound Indicator has been enhanced to include music player controls.

* The software center has been updated, including new UI and Purchases

* And tighter Ubuntu One integration.

* And the Light themes have polished more.

* ‘Faster’ GNOME Evolution E-Mail Client

* Gwibber is now ready for Twitter’s ‘OAuth-calypse’

To my knowledge, Maverick will NOT have the new Ubuntu font included in this release.

The netbook edition has been the focal point of 10.10 with a brand new ‘launcher’ named “Unity” and, “Global Menu Bar”

My 10.10 Desktop: (Click for bigger preview)

NOTE: Google Chrome does not come pre-installed – Sorry!

I think Ubuntu 10.10 shoud have been the LTS, not 10.04. The GUI enhancements are amazing! They basically revamped the Light themes! They look a lot better than in 10.04.

Where to download? Here!

Happy Ubuntu-ing

A UI & Feature freeze will soon fall into place with Ubuntu,

brining 11.04 with no new major features of updates – mainly bug fixes.

And Ubuntu 11.04 was name ‘Natty Narwhal‘, and no I’m not joking.

Just for a quick update…

Till next time, have a good one!

It’s stressful, especially PE and all. And when you have to run around the building 50 times to find your class (:P). I’m finally starting to get the hang of how to effeciently travel between class’.

More to come later!

This was a short to post to begin with, I wanted to add a post to my site

I went to it, it was a video from Redmond Pie and he also had posted a link to instructions – and I followed the instructions that Redmond Pie had posted:

SFTP into your iDevice

Put in your User name (root) and password (usually alpine unless you changed it) (NOTE: This will need a Jailbroken iDevice!) (Google for instructions on SSH/SFTPing into your iDevice)

Then I copied over the Frash-0.02.deb to /var/root/Media/AutoInstall (You may need to make the AutoInstall folder)

Then I restarted my iPod touch to find that it didn’t work so I used my (Linux) Terminal (Windows users – PuTTY (Google it)) to “cd /var/root/Media/Autoinstall” and ran the dpkg -i Frash-0.02.deb and then I opened up Safari on my iPod touch and went to HomeStarRunner.com and lo’ and behold flash!

If this does not work for please comment, or email me!

You maybe asking yourself “What is IPv4?” and “What are IP address?”

IP address are assigned to you by your ISP (internet service provider), which you usually get through you phone or through TV company.

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth revision in the development of the Internet Protocol (IP) and it is the first version of the protocol to be widely deployed. Together with IPv6, it is at the core of standards-based internetworking methods of theInternet. IPv4 is still by far the most widely deployed Internet Layer protocol. As of 2010, IPv6 deployment is still in its infancy.
-Wikipedia

Since IPv4 went online almost 30 years ago, the internet has been crowded with new websites and people connecting to the internet. Everyone who connects to the internet get an IP address, no matter what OS or brand you use. Now that’s it’s been nearly 30 years since IPv4 went on line people have went online in huge numbers, which has now lead to a scarce amount of IPv4 IP address, and after we run out of those we will be forced to switch to IPv6 which has not been widely adopted thus far, but if studies prove right we will be out of IPv4 address by June 2011, next summer. At that time everyone will be forced to switch to IPv6 is they choose to stay online. It is expensive to developer software hardware to adopt the new internet protocol, but we will switch. Now, what happens after we run out of IPv6 address, well I do not know, but we will most likely move on to another internet protocol, IPv7? maybe! But until this it’s gonna be a long time until we reach that limit again, and by then we could have scraped the totoal idea of internet protocol. The fact of this post was and is they we are short of conventional IP address.

It still has a way to go, especially compared to other web browsers, such Google Chrome and Opera. And just so you know, any browser is more advanced than ANY version of Internet Explorer! So you can download it here. I DO NOT recommended this if you are dependent on a lot of add-on’s as not all add-add-on’s are yet compatible with Firefox 4.

This post was just ment as a quick update, not a review, the review will come later when Firefox 4 final is ready.

If you own a iPhone or iPod touch 2G/3G you will know that iOS was released Monday, June 21st, 2010. I installed it on my iPod touch 3G 32GB, I do have multitasking. I love iOS 4, I love the new looks on it, the dock, the wallpaper, etc.

I have noticed though that my battery SEEMS to be depleting a lot faster, I think that comes more from the persistent WiFi, that another feature in iOS 4 is that the WiFi stays ON while the iPod/iPhone is in sleep mode. Of course like always you can turn that off. iOS also now features ‘Air Plane Mode’ which turns off all wireless transmitters, like Bluetooth, and WiFi. Many wallpapers that are included by default are also those seen on the iPad.

iOS 4 also features a unified inbox, so you can access all inbox’s from screen.

Multitasking is only available with the iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3rd Generation 32GB, iPod touch 3rd Generation 64GB. It is NOT available with the iPod touch 2nd generation, and the iPhone 3G. Same applies for wallpaper.

iOS 4 now includes support for iBooks, once the exclusive eBook reader to the iPad now comes to iOS 4 for all iDevices, to my knowledge. I personally love iBooks, the turning effects of the pages!

Another big feature in iOS is folders! They can contain up to 12 apps per folder!

They are automatically named depending on there category in the App Store. The folder name CAN BE renamed!

iOS 4 overall is fast, stylish, and functional. I must say that I do love and use iOS 4. I used to jailbreak for this (multitasking, and wallpapers) which I now no longer have to!

Thank You, Apple!

And Thank You, the readers of CoryClaxon.com

Please be sure to share this, tweet, facebook it, etc!

As most of you know by now, on April 20th, 2010, the BP-owned Deepwater Horizon oil rig suffered a blowout, the rig sank 2 days later. 11 people lost there lives on that. It is in my opinion that BP did cut corners on safety in favor of money and time. Not only is that recklessness, it is the rudest thing to basically disregard human life in favor of money. Tomorrow, 6/18/10 will be the 60th day that crude oil will have been gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, and is now affecting wild life. BP ‘commitment’ to clean up the Gulf Coast was shown yesterday in a $20Billion escrow fund. All Tony Hayward is doing repeating and repeating, time after time to explain the effects of the Gulf Cost Oil spill. They are to afraid to admit there mistakes, and say they did nothing wrong, and never cut corners. IF they had followed proper drilling designs, there would still be 11 poeple with us right now, but no, BP cut corners knowing that the well was not functioning properly. So far, all attempts to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf has failed, including Top Kill, they have now moved to on-site containment, like the current containment dome, top hat 2.

This is not BP’s 1st enviromental disaster in the past 10-15 years,

* 1993–1995: Hazardous substance dumping

In September 1999, one of BP’s US subsidiaries, BP Exploration Alaska (BPXA), agreed to resolve charges related to the illegal dumping of hazardous wastes on the Alaska North Slope, for $22 million. The settlement included the maximum $500,000 criminal fine, $6.5 million in civil penalties, and BP’s establishment of a $15 million environmental management system at all of BP facilities in the US and Gulf of Mexico that are engaged in oil exploration, drilling or production. The charges stemmed from the 1993 to 1995 dumping of hazardous wastes on Endicott Island, Alaska by BP’s contractor Doyon Drilling. The firm illegally discharged waste oil, paint thinner and other toxic and hazardous substances by injecting them down the outer rim, or annuli, of the oil wells. BPXA failed to report the illegal injections when it learned of the conduct, in violation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.

* 2005 – Texas City Oil Refinery, 15 people killed.

* 2010 – Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Now those are just three, there are more if you were read on BP’s Wikipedia page.

BP, to my understanding, will be held responsible in this oil spill, rightfully so.

In my opinion BP needs to be shutdown, there have been way to many incidents that have been caused by safety corners cut.

In 05-06 BP had 760 incitements by OSHA while other oil companies combined have less then 20.

My message to the American people is to make sure BP gets either fined a seriously big fine, or shutdown, and to make sure they ALL oil companies have the correct oil spill response guides.
