[16:21] <zkriesse> akgraner: ping
[16:21] <akgraner> pong
[16:21] <zkriesse> akgraner: ok, need anything done by me or want any help?
[16:23] <akgraner> I do - but I am walking out the door to take my daughter to work - I'll be back in 2 hours or so - I'll ping you then ok?
[16:25] <zkriesse> that's fine by me!
[18:25] <newboon2age_> Here's an article that favorably compares the productivity of Ubuntu w/ Win7 and wonders how Win8 will be able to stay ahead of ubuntu and OSX http://www.katonda.com/blog/29/2010/1328
[18:30] <newboon2age_> Called "What to expect from Windows 8", some lines   {after a paragraph of Ubuntu productivity features}"... Most of these core features of Linux are missing from Windows 7...I am trying to compare which OS makes more sense for home user and what should we expect from Microsoft in the next Windows.It seems the biggest challenge for Windows 8 will be to keep up with the tough competition it is getting from Ubuntu and Apple.
[18:30] <newboon2age_> Only time will tell what Windows 8 has to offer."
[18:31] <newboon2age_> i'm not sure if anyone is here to get this, but hopefully just posting it here is enough to 'submit' it to the news crew...
[18:36] <nhandler> newboon2age_: Yep, that should be enough. Articles can be submitted here or to ubuntu-news-team@lists.ubuntu.com
[18:42] <newboon2age_> nhandler: oh, thank you for that alternative way.
[18:42] <nhandler> newboon2age_: You are welcome. I think akgraner also created a google doc form that people can use, but I don't have a link handy (and I am not sure who sees things submitted through it)
[18:43] <newboon2age_> Here's another one:  Dell's 'Love Letter' to Linux: Now You See It, Now You Don't?  http://www.technewsworld.com/story/70299.html?wlc=1277919373
