    Hi Jordan,
    I guess i’m an addict to your channels and sites especially since i cant do without going thru them in a

    day{yeah, there were days of playing and replaying of a video for 3-5times just for the love of it…dont

    mind me!}.
    So, i’m a newbie in linux and that’s what got me onto ur Youtube channel. I remember adding you on my

    Skype and sending you a follow-up message as well{Never mind, i understand your busy schedule}.
    Now to the most important, there was this video you made back in 2010 about PC Linux and when i saw the

    2011 version of PC linux i was hoping you’d
    1. make a video review on it
    2. observe that somehow NOTICE the absence/omission of the GNOME leaving only LXDE and KDE on the

    official site{http://www.pclinuxos.com}
    Anyways, in hope that you’d make a review, the GNOME is still active, but being guarded what seems like

    another community yet one the same original PC Linux OS…The link is found at

    {http://www.linuxgator.org}, Which as it states is the official PC Linux OS GNOME site
    Keep up the good work and my love to the family. CIAO!

    Well, I just figured out that if I click on the < symbol (with the little circles at the ends of the <) located below the video, it gives me prompts for sharing on Facebook, which takes people to the video on bliptv. Very good. I only just started looking for the "share" feature, and found it quite easily.

    I have no problem watching here but I must say you tube bring me here!

  • TWILfan

    was the youtube video a free trial?

     Hello Jordan. If I remember you said that you have a musical education. Do you use any special configuration for alsa and pulseaudio to improve the quality of a sound. Do you use 5.1 acoustic system or something like that? The only issue for me for dayly use of linux is a sound quality. Windows driver gives sound better for me.

    Haha, i’m proud to drive my yaris now!

    You mention Ubuntu using Gnome 3, but as Ubuntu uses Unity, it would be more accurate to say they are using Gtk 3.

    the intro is so sad…

    Yes, Droid (or milestone) 3 will have an OMAP4 processor. I’m curious about its GPU, since the Tegra 2 in the Motorola Atrix is so good in this point. (Yet still behind Apple’s A5).

    Great show.

  • Eugene Jansen van Rensburg

    thx Jordan your show rocks. I would love to see google sort out your add issues so that you would return to youtube. (b.t.w. I think I would’ve done the same if I where in your shoes) I think you will make a killing using google+ caue youtube and everything is so nicely integrated. Anyway, thanx again! :)

  • Shawn Bruce

    Methinks Toyota might make use of Meego’s IVI interface… this could get interesting
