Tech Now with Gina Smith: On Firefox 20, In Window Private Browsing

I'm starting aNewDomain.net's Tech Now with Gina Smith -- targeted at those who either missed the day's tech news or slept through it because, perhaps, they're on the other side of the world. What do you think? Special thanks to producer Marc Klempf for the video and audio quality upgrade. Still a work in progress, but it's a start. And an honor to work with Marc again. What a great talent.

Announcing aGNUdomain.net -- aNewDomain.net Spins Out Linux News Site

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 opensource. And we have a ton of great ones on our team,  founded by Dvorak, Gina Smith, Dr. Jerry Pournelle and 70 plus 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, podcaster and vidcasters who are open about their love of open source.

Kenny the Clown: A Dossier -- TechNow with Gina Smith for 21 Aug 2012

I did dossiers on the Kato Kaelin like character in the recent burglary news and arrest of suspect Kariem McFarlin -- for stealing 60K in goods and Apple iPads from the late Steve Jobs family home in Palo Alto.

His name is Kenny the Clown -- legally Kenneth Kahn, 47, of Alameda. Police found him with one of the stolen Jobs iPads, a 64GB "gift" from the clown's long time buddy, the suspect McFarlin.

Commodore pioneer Jack Tramiel dies: Wozniak, industry and tech pros react

By Gina Smith

Takeaway: Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, remembers tech pioneer and Commodore founder Jack Tramiel in an interview with Gina Smith. Tech pros who cut their teeth on early systems like the Commodore 64 and the Atari Series computers weigh in on how those early systems got them in the biz. Tramiel, 83, has died.

Jack Tramiel, the tech revolutionary and Holocaust Auschwitz concentration camp survivor who brought the Commodore 64 and Amiga Series computers to the world in the early and mid 1980s, has died at 83.

Those two computing lines were prescient in that, unlike efforts from Apple and IBM at the time, Tramiel wanted a computer for the “masses” and targeted home rather than business users. The systems were far ahead of their time in many ways.

Tramiel’s death is a huge loss, Apple co-founder and inventor Steve Wozniak told me in an interview today. (Disclosure: I co-wrote Wozniak’s memoir, iWoz: How I invented the Personal Computer and Had Fun Doing It — WW Norton, 2005).

In 1975, Wozniak and the late Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs tried to get a few thousand dollars from Commodore as Wozniak was designing the Apple II, which he said was ... MORE at Tech Republic ... and here's our coverage at aNewDomain.net
