What is Ubuntu: Quick, Technical Summary
Today a friend got mad at me. He barely can even call me his friend it seems! He is upset at my lack of key understanding, and so he should be. It is kind of funny that we allow things to control our lives and not even understand the very basic stuff about how they work. It would be like…
Is Gmail Safe to use ‘Just for Business’?
No. Google is *not* safe to use ‘just for business’, I confirmed clearly today.

As mentioned in my previous article, we are quickly moving to convergence and in order to make sure we get there safely, ubuntu is the *only* option. The great news for all of you who…
The Race to Convergence: Or is it a Marathon?
This article started out kind of exciting. It explained how Ubuntu was about to show, on a large commercial scale the unveiling of convergence of multiple devices. For those who don’t know what convergence is, it’s the ability for multiple devices to converge into one user experience – without the need for multiple processors and hard drives. For a company…
How to Flash from Cyanogen Mod to Ubuntu on Nexus 4
