Linux OS Distribution Reviews
When I first started to learn how to code and program, as a student and during the pre-internet era, it was common practice to share your source code as you were creating it. My classmates and I assumed that was the best way for us to learn—from each other.

The tension is palpable in the Linux Distro Developer community. Systemd is being ‘force fed’. And it’s either sink or swim to deal with it.

The chief developer of the popular alternative Android firmware CyanogenMod thought that requiring devices to report unique smartphone and tablet data would be an unqualified blessing. They reckoned without their users.

A new Chrome app is in the works, and developer François Beaufort has let the cat out of the bag and shown the world a quick peek at Google+ Photos.
Nicknamed "Pulsar" the app is powered by Native Client technology and is gives you the ability to upload and share photos from Google Chrome. For now, Beaufort warns the app is broken (we can't get it to open on our Chromebook Pixel running the latest Chrome stable build, but it does install), but he's shared a few pictures showing a good bit of the UI.
Two of the features are mentioned specifically are automatic selection of the best shots and automatic import when inserting a memory card or plugging in a camera. It's a great example of what a full Chrome app might look like, and lets us know Google still has plans for ChromeOS.
If you're interested in checking out the source, you'll find it at the link below. Be sure to jump through the break to see the screenshots.

Begone, doubters. OUYA — the Android-based game console that shattered about 16 Kickstarter records — has shipped to developers. Some 1,200 of them have shipped to developers. And it's important to stress that these are for developers. (Did we mention anything about developers here? Because we really should.) As you can see in the video above — and can the same people who "boxed" a device be the ones to do an unboxing video? — these are limited-edition devices, with transparent plastic and bugs and other things that are going to be completely reworked before production units ship in the spring.
What this milestone represents, of course, is a major step forward for a project funded by regular folks — you and me — through Kickstarter, meaning it's kind of a crapshoot as to what we'll actually get, when we'll get it, and how good it'll be when it hits our doorstep. (And full disclosure here: Android Central backed OUYA at the $ 1,337 level, so we've got one of these dev units on the way.) There won't be any apps on this dev version, but the egg has to come before the chicken. Or maybe it's the other way around.
In other news, OUYA has fired up its developer portal, where you can download the developer kit, upload games and get things ready for launch in a few months. Huzzah!
