Motoko. Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 bull****. The Dog says otherwise. 5 stars (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiagosilva29 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The Dog says otherwise. No, the dog says bull****. Look at the dates. Considering that: everytime someone farts at Cupertino or Redmond it gets frontpage every alpha of alpha of alpha of a Microsoft product gets frontpage if a new software release is more (or only) used in a *nix platform (example: GDB) it doesn't get listed in the latest software feed, while LOLCursorFX 2.05 - Cool Cursors for the Windows DesktopLOL is fine ; a cat is probably fine too major FLOSS/Linux news are almost daily posted in the BPN (I'm ****ing lazy, too many stuff in my Google Reader), yet, the only ones posted are the LOLdramawhorezLOL news ; we deserve more than this Also, the news staff doesn't correct their own drama. The official remail blog didn't stated they were going to kill the application, so people where expecting it to be released in open source. Which it did. But was it even mentioned? No, because it had "open source" involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Linux commands a large portion of consumer use, you wont see it hitting major news publications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 3, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 3, 2010 Looked at Linux news on the front page: 29 Mar 2010 27 Mar 2010 20 Mar 2010 5 Mar 2010 4 Mar 2010 February? 27 Jan 2010 12 Jan 2010 (Hey, that was me!) 30 Dec 2009 28 Dec 2009 22 Dec 2009 16 Dec 2009 8 Dec 2009 6 Dec 2009 3 Nov 2009 23 Oct 2009 5 Oct 2009 7 Sep 2009 28 Aug 2009 6 Aug 2009 28 Jul 2009 21 Jul 2009 10 Jul 2009 3 Jul 2009 11 Jun 2009 10 Jun 2009 9 Jun 2009 8 Jun 2009 28 May 2009 27 May 2009 26 May 2009 20 Apr 2009 17 Apr 2009 9 Apr 2009 6 Apr 2009 That is 34 articles in a year. 52 would have made it one every week, and this is approaching it. Granted, this isn't coverage of every event on the front page, and some significant things are covered only in the BPN area. But it hardly shows some nefarious plot to disregard Linux.
