ChromeOS MIGHT BE RIGHTI am typing a post to my Amplify account. I have my Google Reader to monitor other sites I am watching. I also have my webmail ready. I don't know about you but the twitter browser interface is still the best way to tweet. Facebook is open in another tab. I'm listening to my favorite internet radio tunes in another tab. All this is possible using a browser which in my case is Firefox.I did have to open a Microsoft Word document yesterday. So I went to google docs and uploaded it, modified it and then saved it in the open format, odt, saved it not in my hard drive but in the cloud. Maybe ChromeOS is right. Maybe Google is right. They just don't have to rub my nose in it. http://amplify.com/u/bmwlc
Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
