Of course, I'm talking about the Star Trek influence. How close are we to realizing Star Trek Technology?

LibreOffice 3.6 is ready for us.
Submitted by revdjenk on Wednesday 15th of August 2012 02:36:01 PMI know, I know, it is best to install your apps only through your Linux distribution's repository.
However, since LibreOffice 3.6 is faster loading and comes some nice new features spread throughout the Suite, this may be the time NOT to wait.

Submitted by fieldyweb on Monday 30th of July 2012 07:42:37 PM Filed under
Having already written on why I believe the Linux desktop has had it’s day and admitting that while Linux has changed the world of IT for the better it seems that after comment’s from some very notable industry players over the last week might have sparked an interested in Linux, specifically Ubuntu as a viable third alternative.

What First Got You Interested in Technology?
Submitted by fieldyweb on Sunday 22nd of July 2012 11:50:39 AM Filed under
I’ve been reading a post on Gizmodo.com which features interviews with People like Steve Wozniak and Alexis Ohanian who have shared what pushed them into this field. Last night, at the American Museum of Natural History, Neil de Grasse Tyson told us what got him hooked on space exploration.
This got me thinking what was it that got me interested in Technology.

Has linux had its day on the desktop?
Submitted by fieldyweb on Sunday 8th of July 2012 06:09:22 PMThe stats are in, Linux is everywhere, the problem is, no one is mentioning this fact, and at the same time it appears that take up of the Linux desktop may be on the wane. Its a strange new world which this operating system now finds itself powering huge chunks of the internet and mobile devices. Yet evidently losing ground on the desktop.

How to custmize KDE’s window titlebar buttons
Submitted by finid on Wednesday 4th of July 2012 10:11:32 AM Filed under
If you are using the latest KDE edition of your favorite distribution, your window titlebar could be missing a button or two that you most certainly need. That is definitely the case on Sabayon 9 KDE. The titlebar could also be sporting spacers that you do not need, as is the case on Kubuntu 12.04.

KLook gets PDF/ODT support, while StackFolder gets drag-n-drop
Submitted by finid on Friday 29th of June 2012 01:39:39 AM Filed under
KLook is a multi-file-type viewer. It is not an application that can be started standalone, but is integrated into other applications, like Dolphin, KDE’s file manager. StackFolder, on the other hand, is a widget application that makes it possible to browse the contents of a directory, or your entire home folder, without opening Dolphin.
