Why this Linux Fan roots for MeeGo – not Android

Some people will tell you fragmentation is one of the main things that is holding back Linux from desktop adoption. Not having a unified name, packaging system, or heck even desktop environment often confuses new users and puts them into overload – Too much choice can be a bad thing.

Android is currently the only real player in the Linux mobile market. Now don’t get me wrong, I am glad Android jumped in record time to right near the top of the smart phone market. I’m also glad that through this success it has put the power of Linux into the hands of millions of people (many of whom are none the wiser about their penguin powered device).

If Android is doing so well, one might ask – why does there need to be another Linux variation present in the mobile market? For starters, just as too much fragmentation is a bad thing having only one choice I feel is equally as bad. MeeGo will provide an alternate mobile platform that is Linux based for those of us who prefer something different to Android. There are a few reasons I personally prefer what MeeGo is to become instead of what Android is today.

HOWTO: Unlock your AT&T Tilt for all Networks

Something I hate more than anything else in the world is a software lock on hardware I own. If I bought something I should have the right to do anything with it that is within it’s physical capabilities. Earlier this year I wrote how to get Android running on your HTC Tilt, if you followed that guide (or one like it) you will need to flash your Tilt back to Windows Mobile in order to unlock it.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Internet Stock Trading

Many people are becoming more interested in Internet stock trading because there are so many websites promising to make them rich quick. However, while there are benefits to trading online, there are also disadvantages that you should be aware of before you begin investing or changing your current financial portfolio. The Stock market is a very complex machine with a language and actions that can easily overwhelm a person who does not have a knowledgeable support system in place when they begin.

A stock broker must be registered to buy and sell shares in the stock market, so when you are trading online, you still are working through a broker to buy and sell shares.

Making decisions about buying and selling require a strategy and a thoughtful approach to the market. Besides terminology, you must also become effective at understanding and analyzing trends and be able to make decisions without having an emotional investment in the stocks you purchase. When you are comparing online brokerages, it will be important that they have a simulated trading platform for you to learn the intricacies of trading.
