The linux distribution called Ubuntu which is already considered to be “emerging as a leader in the desktop Linux world” because of it’s easy of use and user friendly approach has been confirmed to have a serious relationship with the search giant Google. Even if development details are not out, “Google has confirmed it is working on a desktop linux project called Goobuntu”. I’ve been using Ubuntu wich is excellent for linux beginners and should satisfy connaisseurs. The news has been reported on CNet News and coming from The Register. The news is not shocking me because this company has been expending like wildfire for the last few years and it is a good thing. Google is reknown around the world for it’s search engine and approached to the web and desktop applications. We’ll have to keep a close eye on both of them to see what they will bring us.

*UPDATE* 2/15/2006: Mark Shuttleworth denies Goobuntu
This has been my motto for some time. You could consider it as complaining but I’ve been wishing for someone to make a business of selling time. You could see it as myself not being organized enough and leaving my work to do at the last minute. I’ll agree I usually let the work add up, but I’ve decided to make a change. This year, I’ve finally started University like I’m in Quebec the system is a bit different but it’s like if it’s my third year if I was in the states, or other provinces. Point is when I was in college (after high-school, before university, lasts 2 years) I had high grades without doing much but now I feel I have to be a lot more competitive if I wish to make it to master degree. 
I’ve been supporting it since the beginning and I’m not ready to give up on them yet! Blu-ray is one of the next generation optical disc. We first had CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray might be the next evolution. As any new generation comes forth there is always a battle of different formats, so in this race Blu-ray discs must compete against HD-DVDs. I will not go in depth of explaining both format but will say that HD-DVD focuses in improving current DVDs architecture to increase their data capability, Microsoft is their biggest sponsor. HD-DVDs will benefit manufacturers because they’ll be able to maintain their current installation. On the other hand, Sony is one of the supporters of the Blu-ray brand, their advantage is the higher data capacity that can reach 50 GB. I figure that if you make a new standard lets make the change for the most advance one, I believe HD-DVD should be like a mid-step before the arrival of Blu-ray. But it seems the war will start in the middle of this year as they release HD-DVD and Blu-ray players as long as titles with high definition content. Next-gen DVDs might include Java games and 1920×1080 pixels resolution. Let’s mention that Sony’s PS3 is due out this spring and is to support games using those Blu-ray discs. This might mean that Blu-ray will a solid foot in the market.
