This is good timing–as the computing world braces for the wide release of Windows 8 next week, the Linux evangalists at Canonical have released a new version of Ubuntu. The version is numbered 12.10, and in line with Ubuntu’s naming convention, it’s called Quantal Quetzal. For those wondering, yes, a Quetzal is a bird native to Mexico and central America. (more…)

Mac OS X gets some more classic games

post from Ubergizmo on 18 October 2012 04:37:19 PM. © Ubergizmo

Game DRM companies are falling into line behind OS X after Steam decided to support the operating system, and today online game retailer GOG.com is bringing over 50 titles to the Mac. Notable games include Ultima IV and Sim City 2000. Right now they’re on sale too, so you should go and pick them up. For some of these games, this is the first time they’ve ever been legally able to run on Mac OS X. Good Old Gaming is a company dedicated to preserving historic games and making them able to run on modern PCs, so this is great news for gamers who run Macs. (more…)

T-Mobile has axed their 200MB data plan

New smartphones are faster and nicer, so people use them more often and pull more data, right? That’s the official T-Mobile stance regarding their move to axe their 200MB data plan, according to a leaked internal document. That means the last sub-$20, cheap data plan is now off the table. AT&T and Verizon still offer 300MB shared data plans, but there’s no more single-person light data plans. Existing T-Mobile customers are grandfathered, but the smallest plan someone signing up for a new T-Mobile account can buy is 2GB for $20. But the real bargain for T-Mobile subscribers is the very Sprint-like unlimited data plan for $90 with unlimited talk and text.

Google profits leaked, miss lofty expectations,
stock tanks 10%

post from Ubergizmo on 18 October 2012 03:10:53 PM. © Ubergizmo

Earlier today, the Google filing to the SEC has been published early (an error from RR Donnelley, apparently) and the financial details for the 3rd quarter have been revealed: $14.1B in revenues for $2.18B in profits. While most companies would only dream about earnings like these, the stock market did not anticipate that Google’s profit margin would go down, and the immediate result was that Google’s stock (GOOG) went down 10% in minutes and trading had to be halted.
