My Fave Linux Distro Gentoo 2008.0 final release is out!

By Noob Nub
Gentoo is one from three of my fave Linux Distro (other: Fedora, CentOS). Finally Gentoo Linux 2008.0 has been released. This release contains numerous new features, including an updated installer, improved hardware support, a complete rework of profiles, and a move to Xfce instead of GNOME on the live CD. Live DVDs are not available for x86 or amd64, although they may become available in the future. The 2008.0 release also includes updated versions of many packages already available in your ebuild tree. Highlights: updated installer - the installer now only performs networkless installations using the packages and ebuild tree on the Live CD; improved hardware support - moving to the 2.6.24 kernel added many new drivers for hardware released since the 2007.0 release; updated packages - Portage 2.1.4.4, a 2.6.24 kernel, Xfce 4.4.2, GCC 4.1.2 and glibc 2.6.1." Read the complete release announcement for further information. Download the installable live CDs from here: livecd-i686-installer-2008.0-r1.iso (688MB, or this torrent if you use torrent client).

UberTwitter was Suspended by Twitter

By Noob Nub
Suspended since about 11 hours ago and in 4 hours after, UberMedia CEO already makes some movement to fix it, what a fast reaction *amazed*. UberTwitter now called UberSocial. Here is a Q&A from Bill Gross , Founder and CEO of UberMedia Twitter told us today that they suspended our applications for three reasons: Twitter said that in UberTwitter and Twidroyd we use a tweet-elongation service named tmi.me that allows people to write more than 140 characters, and that this service may post private messages on a public website.  At their request, we have removed this ability. Twitter said that in UberCurrent we change links that are part of an affiliate program to be our own links.  We don’t currently do this, but we removed all changing of links to eliminate any possibility of this. Twitter said that they would like us to change the name UberTwitter, and we have changed the name to UberSocial, effective immediately. Twitter also said that as soon as we made ...

e-Government: Developed VS Developing Countries

By Noob Nub
Every year, the United Nations releases a report on the least developed countries (LDC) and compares their economic conditions in several different categories. For 2002, 49 countries were designated as the least developed. These countries were decided based on their low GDP per capita, their weak human assets, and their high degree of economic vulnerability (UNCTAD, 2002). E-Government implementation and development is a highpriority issue on various countries’ agenda. Some countries have surpassed others in online services that they offer to their citizens. Indicators on education and literacy show that, in Mozambique, only 7% of the total population was enrolled in secondary school. Indicators on communications and media show that, in Bangladesh, only 3.4% of the population has a telephone, while 9.3% are in the circulation of daily newspapers (UNCTAD, 2002).

A Portable Application is a computer software program that is able to run independently from  a hard drive, USB drive, or an iPod, without the need to install any files into the system. By using portable applications, you can take your “computer setup” with you, keeping all your favorite software in one suite. That’s a more intelligent approach than trying instead to minimize the number of programs you install, so their installation can be recreated on another device. There are thousands of portable applications available, many of them are versions of installable programs. Using the list below, you can build a very powerful suite with the best of the best portable apps for different software categories: Free Portable Anonymous Surfing Browser: xB Browser — Download “A portable version of Firefox with a well integrated Tor engine that uses the free Tor network.
