I was on the MobileViews Podcast this past weekend, and I talked about Google’s operating systems and commented on how few new operating systems came it to market during the ten years of the podcast.. Chrome OS, first released in 2011, is the newest I’ve used, and even that can be debated because it uses a Linux Kernel.
According to my past weblog posts, WebOS may be the newest prior to Chrome OS. Android and iOS already existed for a few years.
This is why I am so intrigued by Google’s work on Fuchsia.
I decided to renew my Flickr Pro account even though I am annoyed by the doubling of the price and being forced to buy two years at a time. I have more than 7000 photos stored in Flickr and several albums that I decided are too valuable for me to lose.

This week I did some simple testing of Linux-based remote access software to create a virtual desktop that I can access from my computers. I’ve written an article of the experience.
A little diddy about Jack and Diane…
I could be wrong, but I don’t recall any political candidate, Democrat or Republican, campaigning on doing something to address our gun violence problem. Did you?

My hoodie of choice is the SCOTTeVEST cotton Hoodie. One word: pockets.
Would there even be a debate about whether an iPad can be one’s only computer if touchscreens were invented before the mouse? IMHO the major impediment is iOS' lack of support for Bluetooth mice.
I think if Apple wanted to, they could take a cue from Google’s Project Crostini to add containerized desktop app support to iOS. The Pros would be smart enough to handle containers, while the normal users would probably not want nor need it.
I’ve long mused that what we really need are devices that have built-in hypervisors upon which one could run any operating environment they wished. Containers come close to this idea.
Looks like we have a constitutional crisis created by the President.
