Teleport before May 24

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it's free. End of story.

Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.

"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."

Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.

"Capital news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."

You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging - which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big red "download" button right there to the left.

Done the game in 120 Minutes

The Free and Open Productivity Suite

A second ago a student came and asked me if I can borrow an Open Office disc. And this is good to know, I told him "Open Office is free and Open Source, do you have internet at home?", "Yes" he answered.

Then OpenOffice.org

Make-up

Compiz Fusion is the result of the re-unification of the Beryl-project and the community around the Compiz Window Manager. It seeks to provide an easy and fun-to-use windowing environment, allowing use of the graphics hardware to provide impressive effects, amazing speed and unrivalled usefulness. The first Compiz Fusion developer release was Compiz Fusion 0.5.2 on August 13th 2007, shortly after Compiz 0.5.2 was released.

Compiz Fusion, as well as Compiz, is an open-source software project, meaning anyone can use it and contribute to it freely.

It is important to note that Compiz and Compiz Fusion are not the same thing (see: Compiz Fusion Vs Compiz). Shortly said: Compiz Fusion is a community-driven extension pack for Compiz. There is close co-operation between the developers of Compiz and the developers of Compiz Fusion, though; in fact, many Compiz Fusion developers are also Compiz developers.

 

Features of Compiz and Compiz Fusion

  • Hardware-accelerated window management and desktop compositing through OpenGL, using rendering paths like AIGLX, Xgl and direct rendering solutions on some hardware.
  • Powerful and flexible plugin interface, allowing almost limitless extension possibilities.
  • ARGB rendering, allowing true transparency when the applications support ARGB visuals.
  • Compiz Configuration System
    • A library which offers transparent support for gconf, kconf and ini settings storage.
    • A GUI Plugin Configuration Manager, CCSM

  • Many community and developer contributed plugins
    • Main Plugins - Plugins which many users will find useful

    • Extra Plugins - Plugins that add eye candy or less sought after functionality

  • Window Decorators, which provide window frames and titlebars
    • GTK Window Decorator - Window decorator that supports GNOME Metacity themes

    • KDE Window Decorator - Window decorator that supports KDE KWin themes

    • Emerald - Window decorator that is custom themeable and supports full Alpha blended themes.

Slowly finishing Ubuntu's make-up, i want it to look beautiful!

This OS is something new for me but with help from a gnufriend (k0001) i've installed compiz (obviously a must have) and managed to make everything works in a familiar way (my leopard expose setting and other stuff).
