My wife was visiting her a couple of days later, she was dancing at home and found her Peace. Then we visited her "Going Away" Party. It is a weird feeling when you know that when you leave that party it is very likely you never see that person again. The Party itself wasn't sad more like a normal Birthday Party or some Family & Friend gathering. But there was a long Line and everybody wanted to see her. She mad a sick but happy impression but it still was weird to see her saying good bye.

A couple of days ago she passed away, it was sad but expected. A good friend is gone, we will never see her again (but we will have some Margaritas and remember her ).

But now i switched to (back) Fedora. I always liked Fedora but for some strange Reason it never liked my Hardware. But it works very neat on my new HP Laptop .

Gnome 3 is a pretty neat Desktop. I like Desktops that are not in the way and you can Focus on the Program you use. Gnome 3 really gets out of the way of your work. You have a Top bar but that's it, the hole rest of the Desktop is for your program and your work. One Difference between Ubuntu and Fedora is the Update Policy. If  Program gets an Update (that is not a security Update) Fedora will deliver that Update, Ubuntu won't until the next Release.

I like getting new Programs and Features delivered between Major Releases.

Gnome 3 comes with the usual Programs you can or install, that is pretty similar in all major Linux Distributions.

Overall I'm very happy with Gnome 3 and Fedora. It has a small bug in the booting process: it doesn't turn on the Display Light so i have to Login in the Dark and after that i can use Hardware Keys to adjust the Brightness but Ubuntu had the same Problem so it didn't get worse there.

It was really neat. It is funny to see other People react when they tasted food the first time, you had all your life. My Wife had Bratwurst and Sauerkraut. Born and raised in Thuringia i have to say: our Bratwurst is better but my Wife loved hers

I had Goulash which was pretty good.

The place itself could need a little more Interior Design but I'm pretty sure that will come in the Future.

We will be back there to check out the Breakfast Menu

His Lifestory from founding Apple, getting fired, founding Next, Pixar. Coming back to Apple is inspiring and moving.

This man changed Industries, yes it is a plural. The Computer industry, Music Industry, Film Industry and Phones. All won't be the same without him.

And he made that Speech:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Thank you Steve Jobs

So here it is. MY new HP Pavilon dm4. It has a DVD Drive now but i'm not sure if i will ever use it .

I  even started the preinstalled Windows 7 once (had to remove all the Crap Software that comes with it), just to shrink the Windows Partition to make some Space for Linux.

Right now i'm running Ubuntu 11.10 which is still just a Beta Release (and you see it on some Edges). It took a while to get all the Software i need, installed. At this occasion i stopped working with xampp and started to work with the LAMPP Stack that comes with Ubuntu.

But back to the Laptop, the Battery Life is very good for me, you can work more than half a day away from the Cord. It has all standard Ports (USB, HDMI, Cardreader). It also has a Fingerprint Reader which is a funny Gimmick but i don't think that i will use it  a lot.

The Laptop has a Downside: It's case feels very good to touch but boy it loves Fingerprints . I don't really care about it but after one week this Laptop has more fingerprints than the average Crime Scene .

For me it is a very neat Laptop to work with every Day. And finally here are the Pictures:

Then you are not using a mobile device . I just installed a Plugin called MobilePress. This Plugin detects if you visit the Website from a Mobile Device and changes the Theme automatically.  Pretty Neat.

The only downside right now is the Limitation of User registration but that should be no problem once Google decides that Google+ is ready for the World. For now only Geeks are on Google+

Everything else looks very good, very well integrated with other Google Services and beautifull animated. With the limited users it feels a bit like Facebook for adults. No game and not so many Spam messages, just Status Updates that are actually worth reading.

Of Course when Google starts a Social Network you have consider that Google knows a lot, all your Search History, Mails, Pictures and other Things depending which Google Services you use. But at the End, you decide what you publish and what People know about you. You are the Designer of your Online Profil.

The smart Approach that you have different Friend Circles and you can decide what you post to which group and to make this Feature easy accassable is a huge plus ( small Joke )

Bottomline: Google+ had a good Start, we will see how it develops. I think for the next years Facebook is safe just because virtually everybody has a Facebook Account but the Example Myspace shows us that people can move from one to another Social Network really Quick. The Future of Google+ will be interesting.

Now the time is here. I didn't had the time to try it on the water yet but that is how the sail looks, when it is rigged.

Update:

Now i had the Time to try it out and it is awesome. Pictures are in this Picasa Gallery
