There should be an image here!Not to be confused with anything to do with Star Wars, like Tatooine. Rather idea of an Ubuntu release strictly for those using Tablet based computers. On the surface, it’s a great idea.

But the real question is whether or not simply using an alternation of the netbook remix might not simply be a smarter approach?  Seems to be a heck of a lot easier in the long run. And consider the amount of time it takes to run yet another “based on Ubuntu” release, this seems like the best approach.

What do you think? Do we need any one distro to base a specific version of itself to meet the perceived demand for tablet PCs as they are released? Hit the comments, let’s hear your thoughts.

There should be an image here!Extensions for for the VLC media player? I know, it sounds a bit strange considering it is not the kind of thing you would expect from the VLC application. But it seems that extension fever has managed to grip VLC, despite most of us wondering that the point is.

Once I found some examples as to why extensions might be a great match for VLC, I suddenly found myself realizing just how fantastic this actually could end up being. Wikipedia, IMDb, Last.fm…the list goes on.

No, there is something to be said for this inclusion of extensions for VLC. So long as the extensions are relevant, safe to use and provide value to the end user, I think this whole idea is going to lead to greater things for what I believe to be the worlds best media player.
