Starting last November, Google Chrome rose to no. 2 spot among web browsers, overtaking Firefox. Both are good, Saifallah Qasim skeptically says in this blog post, but what were the reasons of Firefox's downturn and is that so relevant to the Open Source community?
Variety is the spice of life, and with Linux you can enjoy even more variety! With thousands of Linux distributions out there, JOSA's Saifallah Qasim seems to like Arch Linux best and this is why:
Symbian is the famous operating system that power up most Nokia mobile handsets. This OS was originally developed by Symbian Ltd. but then Nokia claimed it, next to an independent non-profit organization called Symbian Foundation, and implemented it on its devices.
Android is an operating system mainly developed for mobile devices but also has been seen on different internet tablets. This OS is built using the Linux kernel and is totally open source. It has been at first developed by Android Inc. but Google has purchased it and continued the development later on.
Almost more than one year ago I was in Germany as a guest student at Wismar University. I was taking a lecture and the professor was giving a presentation using OpenOffice.org which was kinda weird for me to be honest since the program I'm used to see getting used by almost everyone around me was Microsoft Office plus me of course. I was even more shocked that the operating system that he was using is something different than the usual Windows. It was openSUSE.
