iSad | CR 15

Chris and Mike take a look at joining an open source project, the formerly brown Ubuntu as a developer platform. Dell is getting ready to launch Sputnik, but should you jump on board or take a big old bite of a Macintosh?

Plus should the release of the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920 turn developer heads?

    Thanks for mentioning DayJournal! :-) The iloveubuntu write-up was about the old free version (which is very limited). DayJournal has been rewritten in Vala and is much better now.

    seems like the feed contains a concatenation of 2 different urls: http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.ogg/http://traffic.libsyn.com/jbmirror/cr-0015-ogg.ogg Extracting the second url from this you get the correct download location

    I love this show guys. I look forward to this and LAS every week. However, as a novice Java/Android/etc coder, I wish you talked more about actual coding practices and less about every device released that week.
