Something I heard about last week but haven’t had time to put up here is the “God Mode” feature. If you want to have a common area to access all your settings features, rather than navigate in the normal Control Panel method you may find this mode to be a bit of a time saver.
To enable simply Create a New Folder and name it this:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
That will change the folder icon to a Control Panel icon and will then give you direct access to all the features in a simple list format. If you prefer having the short explainations they will be missing.
So far no comments from Microsoft about this. Enjoy.

Well it appears they were not really screensavers or themes after all. Instead they were DDoS related Malware.

This command below should remove the offending scripts for an infected machine. DO NOT run this unless you know you are infected.
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/Auto.bash /usr/bin/run.bash /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh index.php run.bash && sudo dpkg -r app5552
Well its an interesting story but not one that has been a true surprise. I found it interesting since there is so much controversy over the Apple App Store that this seems to be a catch-22 for Apple. What Do I mean? Let me outline.

If you are using Rythmbox and having trouble with getting windows shares to work, I found a neat workaround for this. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which uses Gnome Desktop, and found a pretty simple solution, courtesy of launchpad.net which is the site where all bugs related to Ubuntu or any packages tracked back upstream can be filed, and hopefully solved. This bug isn’t specific to Ubuntu or Gnome, but is actually a bug with Rythmbox. You can read the bug at the link in this article, or simply follow these instructions.
From a shell or terminal (to open on click on “Applications” then “Accessories” then ‘Terminal’) copy and paste the following:
gnomevfs-ls smb://mywinpc/mymusic
Make sure before you hit enter to change ‘mywinpc’ to the actual NAME of the PC your share is located on, and ‘mymusic’ is changed to the name of the share your music is found. This step will then display some output and tell you to then enter the username to login, the WORKGROUP name, and of course your password. Once done it will majically mount the drive for you.
Now you should be able to start Rythmbox and select ‘Import folder’ and find this location readily available.
