In an interview at the linux.conf.au conference, Torvalds admitted that Linux was lagging behind on power-management and energy-diagnosis tools.

“It is an area we were pretty weak in a few years ago and just building up the infrastructure took a long time, but now we are at a point where we have most of it done,” said Torvalds.

“That doesn’t mean we are done. Now we have an infrastructure in place… we have the tools to measure power and notice when the power is higher and why that is, which is pretty important. Before, it used to be a black box,” said Torvalds.

Yay for Linus! And also Linux, of course. Linux not only saves the world by promoting freedom of choice but also making computing environment-friendly.

Okay, this is no way related to Linux but it is cool anyway. This is a very cool sample music created by mixing the Windows sounds together.

Can someone do something like this with Linux sounds please?

NBN Scandal Witness Gets Support

The ongoing investigation of the NBN-ZTE deal has indeed shaken the country. Filipinos are again torn apart: there are those who believe the claims of witness Jun Lozada and those who trusts the administration. Yesterday, Filipinos who support Lozada prayed together in La Salle Greenhills to show their support not only for Lozada, who is strong enough to face the biggest people in the country, but also to hope and pray that the truth will soon prevail. Even former President Corazon Aquino attended the Mass dubbed as Misa ng Sambayanan Para Sa Katotohanan. Aquino said that nothing is impossible through prayers and many Filipinos agree as they have proven the power of prayer during the EDSA Revolution way back in 1980’s. Even passing vehicles showed their support by blowing their horns.

As much as I hate blogging about politics, I would like to make my blog reach out to my fellow Filipino geeks that we should encourage all Filipinos to be aware of what is going on. It is time for us to pay attention and know the truth. We have this nasty habit of whining how much the government sucks but turn a blind eye on what is really going on. How can the people trust those who lead the country when scandals like this are just as normal as daily weather forecast? There is even someone there who openly admitted violating election laws but what happened? Does justice still exists in this country?
