Citind blogurile de dimineataza dau peste o stire intersanta:


http://www.arenait.net/2008/02/13/google-toolbar-fura-paginile-404/

Ce spune articolul?
Daca iti instalezi ultimul beta de la Google Toolbar si ceri o pagina care nu exista pe server, in loc de pagina obisnuita 404 voi vedea o pagina customizata de Google care bineinteles contine un buton Google Search. Ei se scuza ca fac asta numai daca pagina 404 are mai putin 512 bytes. Deci daca eu sunt un web designer si fac o pagina 404 mai mica de 512 bytes nu am avut noroc in viatza. Google-ul decide ca pagina mea nu trece de normele de calitate.

Ca sa vezi, compania care se da drept bunatatea intruchipata se foloseste de tehnici obsucure ca sa mai castige ceva useri pentru motorul lor de cautare. Sunt sigur ca sustinatorii companiei Google vor spune ca Microsoftul este si mai “evil” decat Google-ul. Dar eu am impresia ca le cam calca pe urme.

Comentariul meu se bazeaza doar pe articolul de mai sus . Nu am testat ultimul beta .

Update: Am testat si chiar asa este !!!

I like the last paragraph

Yesterday I received from France my new toy: Linutop. It is a small computer running from an USB key. When I say small I mean very small: 9.3 x 2.7 x 15 cm. It doesn’t have a harddisk and it is power by an AMD Geode LX processor.

The installation kit



The entire OS is stored on the USB key. The kit came with an optimized version of Xubuntu LiveCD, the light brother of the Ubuntu. It comes with a few applications: Firefox for browsing, Gaim for instant messaging and AbiWord for office stuff.
The hardware configuration is:

• Processor: AMD Geode LX700 (x86)
• Memory: 256 M
• 4x USB 2.0 ports
• Network: 10/100baseT Ethernet
• Weight: 280 gr

The only thing that I don’t like about it is that the flash player doesn’t play flash movies very smooth. So you can not use this pc to play Youtube movies. But for browsing, chatting and write emails it is perfect. You can even use it as a home small server.

One of the things that that I like about it is that it doesn’t have a hard disk . So bye-bye movement parts. I can put this box in my pocket, I can put in my bag without any worry of breaking something.

I hope this week I can run my favorite OS JNode on this nice piece of hardware. The only problem is that the Linutop boots only from the USB and the JNode OS doesn’t have a good support for USB, but it boots very nice from the network. So I must put on the USB key the PXELinux to be able to boot from network. I hope also that the memory is enough to run JNode.

So I’ll be busy this week
