I’m excited about the new release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, coming to Mac App Store on July 2011, and yet the most exciting part is the price. Only for $29.99. Shame on Microsoft & Windows.

Giving up GIMP?
There is a plane to remove GIMP; the GNU Image Manipulation Tool from the default UBUNTU installation. The GIMP developers, who have expressed their view on this subjects seems to agree with Ubuntu’s plane.
Reasons for removing GIMP:
- Lengthy startup time due to large collection of plugins.
- Complicated for new users due to It’s rich features.
- Uses lots of disk spaces. Ubuntu ships a CD with limited space.
- Unsuitable as a default component of a mainstreme operating system.
My Opinion: Ubuntu may replace GIMP with a simple image manipulation tool.
Download Chrome OS
I found a working Chrome OS; which is also available for free download. But this one is a VMWare Image.
You’ll need VMware Player (or VMware Fusion for Macs) to get it running. VirtualBox can also use VMware VMDK images, but it isn’t always perfect.

Zynga will use Facebook Connect on Web Portal; which means users can login to FarmVille.com using Facebook Account. This will allow Zynga to offer more engaging experience. without the normal facebook interface running around the borders It will give more flexibility.
