November May 20: Intel's mobile Linux release version moblin
The official release of 2.0 (Beta) attracted the attention of many people around the world. Why?

 

As you know, "mini-books" are not PC desktop computers and are limited by hardware resources.
7) I dare not compliment (to be thankful ). Generally, the memory size of the "mini-book" is 512 MB, and the CPU processor size is 4 cm². What is small, the computing capability is very limited. However, mini books are pet computers. Can the user interface of the pet "mini-book" be more beautiful? In this regard, Windows
XP, Vista, and even Linux (xfce) cannot be verified. Intel has a very bright vision. The previous year, it spent money to buy a "clutter" animation production platform, which completely transformed the "mini-book" Panel and toolbar, making the "mini-book" look brand new, it's pleasing to the eye, and you can't let it go. Today, Intel has opened the "clutter" animation platform, and everything is GPL (including technical documents). Why are people unhappy?

 

Actually, moblin
2.0 is a new version of GNU/Linux. Some people do not like it. What is the GNU release? Where is there room for "Independent Innovation? None. As long as you continue GNU. Intel has improved Mozilla's latest browser technology through "Independent Innovation" to seamlessly embed it into the clutter "shell", which is an innovation. However, intel did not mention this "autonomous innovation". Instead, it took all moblin technology out to the Linux Foundation. Why is it GNU?

 

Yesterday (May 20) afternoon, I went to Intel headquarters (Zhongguancun OTC) to watch moblin
2.0 actual performances. Eee in an Asus instance
In PC 1010 (solid state drive) "mini-book", Mount moblin
2.0 (Beta), started in less than 10 seconds. At first, the entire display screen was useless and clean. However, as long as you move your mouse, a small panel was slide down from the top of the display screen, which looked cute, with the task icon (toolbar) they are all specially designed (the London Development Team), like hieroglyphics (Oracle), with circles and patterns. The Panel is divided into three "m_zone" ("My region"), with different functions, such as media playback, frequent website visits, and social media circles, intel has taken into consideration every standard modern man (not from Zhoukoudian. In short, moblin gives me a good impression (not experience), but it is useless to say so. Yesterday, the internationally renowned phoronix Lab (I told them to be a nerd lab and they will only talk about the lab results) Michael
Mr. larabel drummed moblin.
In just over 2.0 hours, he shouted and published an article"
Moblin V2.0 user interface is very
Impressive ", it can be seen that the power of the clutter animation platform. Under such limited hardware resources, it is amazing to create 3D effects. Windows
7 is beyond reach! Michael
Mr. larabel also said that this technology (moblin) can even attract interest to users who have never been in touch with Linux. in the world, it is not just XP drug addicts.

 

On the way home from Intel, I came up with an idea: moblin "mini-books" can access the system without logging in, and the private social information in the system is everywhere, if it's seen by a girlfriend, it can be irritating (and big ). It turns out that (Intel confirmed) moblin can be started from a USB flash drive, and the running speed is quite fast (I have seen it with my own eyes). It seems that self-starting USB flash drives are also indispensable. Although the "mini-book" can be taken away, it cannot be carried with you, unlike self-starting USB flash drives that can be hung around your neck and placed in your pocket.
