=== Randall Ross: Why Smart Phones Aren't - Reason #2 & Reason #3 === Randall Ross continues his posts explaining his concerns with the use of the term “smartphone”. Randall reflects that despite the technology’s capabilities, users are asking each other “Where are you?” on the train and ignoring the fact that “silence is golden” while at the movies. http://randall.executiv.es/dumbphones02 http://randall.executiv.es/dumbphones03 === Joe Liau: Documenting the Death of the Dumb Telephone – Part 1: Unnecessary & Part 2: Balderdash === Joe Liau begins a series of posts where he discusses his concern how the smartphone is seldom used to make actual phone calls and how it provides an excess of useless information through texting and email. http://blog.josephliau.com/documenting-the-death-of-the-dumb-telephone-part-1-unnecessary/ http://blog.josephliau.com/documenting-the-death-of-the-dumb-telephone-part-2-balderdash/ === Michael Hall: Unity 8 Desktop === Michael Hall's blog features a guest post from Will Cooke of Canonical who writes about plans to get Unity 8 into the desktop release.

Luca illustrates his post with several screenshots and says "We hope that machine view will really help Juju users by increasing the level of control and flexibility they have over their cloud infrastructure." http://design.canonical.com/2014/10/designing-machine-view/ === How to customize and brand your scope === David Callé says that scopes come with very flexible customization and that they can be made to look like a generic RSS reader, a music library or a store front. David shows how the Sound``Cloud scope was created by providing illustrations, and links to a tutorial. http://developer.ubuntu.com/2014/10/scopes-customization-branding/ |

| ## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth. ## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here. ## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so. == In Other News == ## Any news or links that don't fit neatly into other sections. |
=== Unity 8 Desktop Still Planned In Time For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS === Michael Larabel of Phoronix reflects "While much of Canonical's recent focus has been about reading Unity 8 for mobile devices, their plan is still to ship Unity 8 by default on the Ubuntu Linux desktop ahead of its next LTS release." He briefly outlines the plans for each Ubuntu release and links to Will Cooke's blog post where the plans are discussed in detail. http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=MTgxNDM === HP Makes Real-Time Processing Real With Help From TI === Sanjay Bhal of Texas Instruments informs us that Hewlett-Packard (HP) hit a milestone by becoming the first major vendor to add a 64-bit ARM server to their portfolio and that the 32-bit version includes an integrated DSP chip from Texas Instruments. Sanjay describes some of the technical features of the machine and says "...TI and HP have worked in collaboration with Canonical to enable a software environment that is powered by Ubuntu." http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1324293 === The Ubuntu release cycle and what it means for aging hardware === Jack Wallen of Tech``Republic look at Ubuntu's version numbers and support for 32-bit systems. Jack assures his readers that both 32 and 64-bit systems are currently supported including Ubuntu 14.10 which will be ready very soon. http://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-ubuntu-release-cycle-and-what-it-means-for-aging-hardware/ === Ubuntu Touch Fully Forks Its Email Client === Michael Larabel of Phoronix writes that up to now the Ubuntu Touch email client has been based on the Trojita application but the Ubuntu Touch developers have stopped upstreaming their changes to Trojita and are now maintaining their own long-term fork called Dekko. Michael says that the reason for the changes is to create something that is tightly integrated into Ubuntu. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTgxNDc |
