I didn’t really know what pfister means first, and when I looked up wikipedia it said that pfister is a surname and gave me alist of people whose names ended with Pfister. And when I searched further on google, I found Price Pfister, a store that sells taps and faucets. Well, whats the difference between a Tap and a Faucet? You will find taps in cheaper homes who cannot afford to make their homes look beautiful and turn their guests green with envy, while you will find facuets in homes where they dont want to turn their guests green with sick.

When you search the internet for home based jobs or something, with which you think you could keep your wife occupied when she is bored during the day at home, dont use the google search, but use google’s blog search, as that is the only place that is not yet contaminated with spam. There are plenty of women who are writing about working online in their blogs, and following that would definitely produce good results, instead of going for those fake data entry jobs, where you get the work to do, but no money. I know that people dont want to do it for money, but for what ever work you do, if you get a little money it is a good thing isnt it? Well, Never go out for any of those stupid data entry sites.

There are a lot of things that you can do online. You can be a moderator for some forum, and get paid on a monthly basis or share the ad revenues from that forum, be an email list moderator, and if you dont like a moderators job, you can always do some writing, start a blog write and traffic will come rushing to your site, and you can earn with advertisments.

Its about a month’s wait for Hardy LTS to be out. I didnt try the Alpha or the Beta, but have been reading reviews here and there and I think it should be cool.

Some people say that the desktop effects are cooler than Leopard

It comes with a unified VM Manager that supports almost everything. Virtual Box ofcourse comes with its own manager.

Increased OpenGL stablity gives you better performance for your compiz and beyrl.

Gimp is Photoshop

Blend is Maya

Firefox is there for Browsing

Pidgin is there for message

OpenOffice is there for Office. It now has 3 D effects for presentations.

Evolution and Thunderbird for Mails.

Microsoft is for people who believe they are not geeks, and linux is supposed to be for Geeks. Mac exploits the luxury computing market and dominates design.

Trust me, Linux is not geeky anymore. It has no bugs to start with, and has the least amount of troubleshooting to be done by the end user compared to windows or Mac. And, above all, its opensource, and its free.  And if you are good enough, you can contribute to the development of the OS. Create manuals, bug reports, knowledgebases and even customize the desktop.

Can you do that for Windows or Mac? Nop.

Google has extended its hands into everything related to the web. They have a search engine which is the best in the world, they have a free mail service called gmail which is also the best, and better than most paid email services in the world, they have blogger, froogle, a translation tool, adwords, adsense etc etc etc.

For desktop, the last thing I expected them to make was an OS. And that too, an OS which is a derivative of ubuntu. A completely free operating system, if distributed by google, who wouldn’t start using it? And with a team like google’s what software will not be available for this thats available on Windows?

Is this the end of Microsoft? Is that Bill whom the Oracle sees in the near future begging on the streets of Redmond?

gos, which is called the good OS primarily, is a product of Google and a derivative of ubuntu. Google has customized it in a great way. The Live CD has surprised me fairly. Its just a 650 MB ISO. Download it and give it a try.

I will come up with more updates on this soon. The Beauty of Life is here I guess.
