aGnuDomain.net TM unplugged and aNewDomain.net -- This shortvideo is the money. If your friends ever ask you to explain the wisdom and architecture behind the glory that is Linux, you might refer them to this video. It's called How Linux is Built.
Uploaded by the Linux Foundation onto YouTube today, the short video "takes you inside the process by which the largest collaborative development project in the history of computing is organized. Based on the annual report "Who Writes Linux," this is a powerful and inspiring story of how Linux has become a community-driven phenomenon."
The Chromebook has been an interesting topic of discussion in the mainstream world of tech. Why? First off, the price. Next, the hardware and software.

I personally would love to get my hands on one of the Chromebooks available on the market today. As a computer hobbyist, I would enjoy diving in and trying to discover more and more about the Chrome OS. What about you? Is this a great OS for everyone else?
aGNUdomain.net unplugged -- It's official. The edit team at aNewDomain.net is spinning out its first new media site. It's going to be called aGNUdomain.net -- our co-founder John C. Dvorak gets cred for coming up with the name.
It'll be Linux news, views, reviews, teardowns, Android rooting, open source advice, all flavors of Linux for the geeks who love open source. And we have a ton of great ones on our team, founded by Dvorak, Gina Smith, Dr. Jerry Pournelle and 70+ vets of the edit team that relaunched BYTE two years ago and turned about to create aNewDomain.net.
Led by aNewDomain.net's Ant Pruitt and Eric Finkenbiner, aGNUdomain.net will be a total, unbridled geek fest. That's guaranteed, as you can see when you scroll below the fold in this post.
The site at the agnudomain.net url will be up soon. In the meantime, this aGNUdomain unplugged site will let you watch as we start putting material and staff together for our launch. And if you're interested in geeking up with us, shoot Ant or Eric a note on Google +. We're always looking for great writers, podcasters, and vidcasters who are open about their love of open source.
In the meantime, we thought we'd say, Hello World! Here's a tech tutorial we found on YouTube via JTRtoday on how to write a simple Hello World program using the GNU C++ compiler for Ubuntu. Enjoy. This tutorial employs an older version of Ubuntu -- 10.04 -- but it's still relevant. The narrator is using its nano text editor to do it. Great work from JTRtoday.
Here's a video intro of Eric Finkenbiner talking Android and aNewDomain.net from Rangoon. It'll give you a flavor of what you're in for.
And here's an Ant Pruitt video hosting a bunch of smartphone photographers on his popular Google+ hangout show, Point and Shoot with Ant Pruitt.
Video: Feb. 7, 2013
Joining Ant above are a bunch of current aNewDomain.net (and former teamBYTE) editorial staffers, contributors and tech pro commentators and photographers. The lineup includes Chris Miller, Mike Sweeney, Joey Kelley, Mat Lee, Robert Knight, Kenny Lee, M. Dean Jones and Michael King. Here's a video from Ant demonstrating the original Kindle Fire running Android version 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with help from XDA-Developers Forums.
