There are lots of cool things in Moblin, but Clutter is our #1 most favourite thing of all. Why? If its OpenGL-accelerated, object-oriented, GTK-integrated API isn't enough to convince you, then perhaps its powerful animation framework, easy texture manipulation, and lightning-fast object picking system might.

Open Ballot: Microsoft/News Corp deal - would you switch to Bing?

Word has it that Microsoft is in talks with News Corp to discuss paying the publisher to de-index its websites from Google.

Now, imagine that this deal goes ahead. Technically, hypothetically, Bing would be able to turn up search results that Google couldn't. Would you switch to Bing? Would you stay with Google? What matters more: the number of search results you can get, or the company operating the search engine? Let us know and we'll discuss the results in our podcast.
