Wevideo : Way better than MovieMaker

I've been testing Wevideo and so far so good. This online video editing website offers you two options depending on how experienced you're editing video. I've been using the advanced option, Timeline. I've found that it's far superior to Windows MovieMaker when it comes to video, image and sound editing. The only downside is probably the fact you only have 15 minutes of "export time". After that I imagine you have to switch to their premium version.
You can try other online video editing tools.

Windows 8

Geeks are excited about the arrival of the new baby. NOOOO, not that one!! Congrats to Prince William and his wife though. Actually we're talking about Windows 8. I've been talking to some experts and the verdict is simple : Windows 8 is a lot of trouble and comes with a lot of bugs.

This operating system was built with an eye on the future : tablets and smartphones. It is a poor fit when used with PC's. Buyers are hoping each new update will improve performance and get rid of the bugs. In the meantime several of my friends and acquaintances have been forced to reinstall Windows 7.

Maybe it is wise to wait a little bit until when a more long term version of Windows 8 appears.

Is Niwie Pixel the most popular Youtube Linux Geek ? : She knows her stuff. And she shows her stuff too.

 Nixie Pixel knows her stuff : computers, software and  games. If you are into Linux and open source stuff, she can be fun to watch. She has a serious number of fans who are not shy to tell how they feel about Linux or her. I think she capitalises her "assets" in order to attract more visitors/followers.

Linux's best OS : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Mint 15 Olivia

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is a long-term version that was created for extended support. It looks more like an OS x while Mint is a little bit more like Windows.

According to some experts, Mint15 is the outstanding OS of its generation. Then it's a no-brainer, you might say. Except that, Mint15 is based on Ubuntu and it suffers from the nine month support cycle that Ubuntu offers to all its releases(it used to be 18 months before). Ubuntu can be upgraded at the end of the cycle, unfortunately Mint doesn't have an update option. Your only option to upgrade would be a re-installation. So, after nine months Mint won't be getting any more security updates.
