Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Kaola

October 30th, 2009

ubuntu-koala-starburstIt’s October 2009 which means something very special for Linux fans(me included): a 9.10 release of Ubuntu. Today we see the launch of “Karmic Koala” featuring a faster graphical boot sequence (no more scary text scrolls), a revamped audio framework that improves sound control across multiple applications, and a new Software Center that visually simplifies the Add/Remove Applications tool. These are just a few of the user-centric improvements meant to have a “transformative effect” on the OS experience and help bring “the world of open source closer to the user.” It’s available in desktop, server, and netbook editions now so get to it, before you know it you’ll be updating to Lucid Lynx.

We just got an eyeful of the new V220 notebook mice and we gotta say — these bad boys are outtasight! They feature the same RF-based USB wireless dongle action of its boring gray brethren, but now the three-button peripheral comes in several psychedelic hues, including blue, pink, purple and red.

Wii MotionPlus will make the Wii better. Sony’s very impressive motion control demo will be better than Wii MotionPlus. But Microsoft stole E3 and may have already won the motion control wars with the announcement of project Natal.
