5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Two pictures that have come my way in the last 48 hours do no less. They pose some questions that one could not raise adequately in an essay of 3000 words. There's been a lot of banter around, centred on Mark Shuttleworth , the owner of Canonical, the parent company of Ubuntu, after his keynote at LinuxCon in Portland, Oregon. Some of his remarks were termed sexist and some have gone so far as to infer that there are no women in his world. Well, Grey Geek, one of the regulars on the Linux Today forums, has produced this picture - and it looks like there are indeed women who work on Ubuntu. And what's more they do look quite content with their lot. The feminists who have been beating a drum about Shuttleworth have their own little bit of hypocrisy to deal with. As this picture shows, at times the urge to make a quick buck overrides all principles. Not for nothing has it been said elsewhere that the love of money is the root of all evil. A dot-org domain would perhaps be more appropriate for such a site - but then the moolah from Google's ads wouldn't be there. It can be embarrassing in the extreme. Pot, kettle, black? |
