Everyone has their own favorite Linux file system. I’m currently using ext4 since it’s relatively new. The ext4 file system seems to be faster when doing file system checks during boot up. It’s also downward compatible to ext3 and ext2 file systems. Plus it supports file sizes up to 16 terabytes. A few years ago, I used ReiserFS back in my Mandrake days. Have your say.

It looks like all the big phone makers have agreed to standardize on one universal phone charger for Europe. Well, it’s about time. Apple, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Research In Motion, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, NEC, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments will use the micro-USB connector pictured below.
Just think of all the phone chargers and car phone adapters you are no longer using every time you buy a new phone or an electronic equipment. Well, hopefully this standard will eliminate redundant chargers and finally save consumers money.
I already have a micro-USB charger that came with my Blackberry Curve phone. It just happens to be the same charger for the Garmin Nuvi GPS devices. This is awesome news. Hopefully, the standard is not only for Europe, but for the rest of the world.
I’m very curious as to how many Linux users are using Microsoft’s Bing Search Engine. I’ve used it twice while working on someone’s laptop. It wasn’t a bad experience. Bing delivered the information that I needed.

This is a great tutorial from Shawn Powers of Linux Journal. This tutorial shows you how to send text messages without a cellphone. Instead, you can send it via email. This is perfect for sending notifications via a shell script. View the short video below.
Ten grand is buried here. Nice try Microsoft. I’m not going to change browser for $10,000 I know I’ll never win. If Microsoft really wants to give away $10,000, why does it have to involved ditching your browser in lieu of their browser. It says, “it’s cleverly concealed webpage that only IE 8 can view.” Is it because IE 8 does not follow standards and it’s written in a code that only IE 8 can view? That’s funny. It should really say, “cleverly concealed” marketing inside. The best part of all, it ends it by saying, “Tell your friends. It’s not as stupid as it sounds.”
