Introducing Ubuntu Web Apps.


Some examples of what users can do with Ubuntu WebApps:
Launch online music site Last.FM directly from the Dash and control the music from Ubuntu’s sound menu
Access and launch your social media accounts (Google+, Twitter, Facebook) from the Launcher, and get native desktop notifications
Quickly and seamlessly upload photos to Facebook from Shotwell
Pause and play the video you are watching on Youtube
See how many unread messages you have in your GMail account, in Ubuntu’s messaging indicator
Ubuntu Web Apps will be available as a preview for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS soon and will be available by default in Ubuntu 12.10. I think we’ve made something that’s about to radically change users’ expectations of the web!

How to Overclock your Raspberry Pi’s CPU to 850MHz+ (& RAM to 500MHz)

http://fusionstrike.com/2012/overclock-raspberry-pi-cpu-850mhz-ram-500mhz

From site:
Overclocking your Raspberry Pi is ridiculously easy because the values are simply stored in a text file on the root of the device, they can be easily edited and changed via Nano or VI, and if you brick the device or get a kernal panic, you can change the values by plugging your SD card into a computer and editing the file there.

Pre-compiled XBMC for Raspbian

http://www.memetic.org/pre-compiled-xbmc-for-raspbian/

From site:
As there are no .deb packages for XBMC on Raspbian armhf yet and it takes almost a day to compile it by hand, I’ve tar’d up my pre-compiled version and made it available. My version is confirmed to work on Raspbian Pisces and DarkBasic images from June/July.
