Windows 10: Is it Really Worth Ditching Linux for?
So, is it worth ditching Linux for Windows 10? While it is a great update to Windows 8, the one that fixes it all, upgrade problems and privacy issues are main reasons Linux users should be wary of the upgrade. However, if you want the latest and greatest, it should be a no-brainer. Our advice is to wait till Microsoft settles the issues plaguing the OS and then give it a shot. Till then, penguins are always your friends.

Unexpected tech lessons learned on a camping trip
Both are loaded with my usual variety of Linux distributions, and while the E11 also has Windows 10, the V3 still doesn't even have Windows installed on it.
The first issue I want to discuss is wi-fi connectivity. It seems that wi-fi coverage is becoming so common as to be practically taken for granted these days. Hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and even campgrounds now offer free or low-cost access: but offering coverage and actually being able to connect can be two different things. At the beginning of the trip there were several times when my traveling companion was able to connect and use her smartphone, but I couldn't get a stable connection on the Aspire E11.

So Microsoft is using Linux. What's the big deal?
Microsoft has always been prepared to use open source software when it could do so for reasons of profit. When it bought Hotmail, Microsoft continued to run the service on FreeBSD for a long time before it switched to Windows.

New supercomputer extends reach of scientists
“We’ve seen basic researchers learning Linux and cloud computing to keep up with it all,” said Aaron Chang, director of the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at UC San Diego. “I’ve had people show up at my door with USB drives filled with data.

A World Without Linux Episode 2 Is Now Online
After last week’s look at how there’d be no internet without Linux, this latest episode posits a related tack: “a world without Linux would mean a world without direction”.
No Linux means no GPS navigation device and no mobile mapping apps. The protagonists of the six-part series end up lost …and headed in to the Bermuda triangle — eek!

Intel Core i5 6500: A Great Skylake CPU For $200, Works Well On Linux
With Skylake's retail availability improving, we're starting to see more of the Skylake processors in stock besides just the i5-6600K and i7-6700K. One of the other processors now widely available is the Core i5 6500, which is a step down from the Core i5 6600K, but retails at just $199 USD -- making it an attractive offer for many building new PCs and trying to stick to a decent budget. I've been testing out an i5-6500 under Ubuntu Linux and so far this processor with HD Graphics 530 is running well and offers compelling CPU performance relative to older Intel hardware as well as AMD's APU/CPU competition.

Raspberries are not the only fruit
I have worked with ARM based systems for longer than I care to admit to myself. From the Acorn Archimedes 305 in 1987 through to modern 64bit systems I have seen many many changes in the ARM community. One big change has been the rise of the inexpensive single board computer (SBC).

Many Mobile Industry Stats Updated Including Uniques, Mobile Internet, SMS, mBanking
Unique mobile subscriber count has been updated by the World Bank for 2015. This is the elusive number, we find easily the total subscriber count for the planet (now more mobile subscriptions in use than humans alive) but many of us have two or more accounts, so what is the actual unique user count. The World Bank now says 5.2 Billion human beings. That number is 72% of all humans alive, of any age including babies. It is utterly unprecedented for any technology including the internet, PC, TV, radio, even the wristwatch. Mobile is the most widely spread technology humans have ever experienced, used in places that have no electrical grid, no running water. It even extends beyond literacy as even an illiterate person can talk on a mobile phone.
