Where are the other episodes? Or is this the last episode.

Trying to clear out my podcatcher because it’s catching lots of regular OMG! Ubuntu! posts – has this become more of a one-off than a weekly release?

Any chance we can get a dedicated RSS feed for the podcast? I use my phone for podcasts and it doesn’t always get to update itself every day (or even every week for that matter). I’ve missed the first episode with it since the feed only goes back 5 days and fear the same will happen with others. I can still download it manually into my media player, but not into my podcatcher which is kind of annoying.

In that case I’ll keep my money on Firefox for Maverick. Lubuntu also ships with Chromium, so having it on Unity is kind of a no-brainer. :-)

Yeah, I saw that too. I do like Chrome (or Chromium, whatever the difference really is), but I dug in too deep on Firefox and now am a lot dependent on some extensions and features. :-s

But anyway, you’re talking about Chromium being shown at a Ubuntu Light install, right? Or did Mark use it on a regular Ubuntu?

actually now its looking like chromium might have a fighting chance, since mark shuttleworths opening talk at UDS featured chromium in the screenshots.

Midori? Really? How likely is it that Maverick’s default browser will even change?

Because:

1. Only a small minority cares about removing ads.

2. One of their major selling points against Apple us being open and not locking down their prodects, but allowing the user to decide what their user experience.

3. It will attract FF users and get advanced computer users like us to buy netbooks with Chrome OS on it, which will give them a nice share of the cost of it – those that buy these netbooks would have been using adblock on FF anyway, so it’s not like there’s going to be a massive increase in adblock-users.

These reasons are a bit oversimplified, but ya get the point.

Sorry but this seems obvious to me.

Why on earth would a company who makes 99% of their money from advertising, create functionality that allows a user to disable advertising?

I intend to make it available on iTunes very shrotly – much to the chagrin of others, I am aware that many dual-booters use it for syncing.

No it’s actually about 25 minutes – no idea why the embed player says it is more…
