"The first fruit of the cooperation between Intel and Nokia is available: the first release of MeeGo. MeeGo is a merge of the former Maemo and Moblin Linux distros. What is available now is 'The MeeGo distribution infrastructure and the operating system base from the Linux kernel to the OS infrastructure up to the middleware layer. The MeeGo architecture is based on a common core across the different usage models, such as netbooks, handheld, in-vehicle, and connected TV.' The images available now for download are suitable for Intel Atom-based netbooks, ARM-based Nokia N900, and Intel Atom-based handset (Moorestown). RPM repositories as well as git source repositories are there for download, too."

"After a few years of Python I've recently been trying to expand my programming knowledge into the realm of compiled languages. I started with C, then switched over to C++. A friend and longtime OpenGL programmer told me about NeHe's tutorials as a good step after the command-line programs started to get old, but there's a problem: all the tutorials are very Windows-based, and I've been using Linux as my single platform for a while now. I'm looking for suggestions for tutorials that are easy to learn, without being dumbed down or geared towards non-programmers."

Brookhaven National Laboratory has created a heretofore unknown form of matter. The matter we normally encounter, and are comprised of, has nuclei of prontons and neurtons which contain no strange quarks. It was known that such matter could exist, but using the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC they detected a couple dozen instances of antihypernuclei. The "Z" axis of the Period Table has already extended in the positive direction by the concept of hypernuclei, but now this new discovery extends it in the negative direction for this new type of "strange" antimatter which may exist in the core of collapsed stars and may provide insight into why our universe appears to be made almost solely of matter and not antimatter.
