This has been all over the blogs and news. Some samples.. MacBook Air Hacked In Two Minutes, Vista finally falls when Adobe Flash is installed, Ubuntu Beats OSX and Vista in Pwn 2 Own Hackathon On the third day of the PWN to OWN Contest where three laptops (one Vista, one OSX, one Ubuntu) were exposed to allow experts attempt to 'break' or '0wn' them. "So at the end of the last day of the contest, only the Sony VAIO laptop running Ubuntu was left standing. " Nice to see :)

Ubuntu UK Podcast Second Episode

By | Published: March 25, 2008
I'm happy to report that we managed to get together and release a second Ubuntu UK Podcast. You can use these links in your podcast downloading client of choice. Personally I use hpodder on Ubuntu, but it should work in any decent podcatcher - even Apple iTunes. High quality feeds Low quality feeds Alternatively you can listen online directly via a flash applet (yes, flash is evil) via the site. Feedback via email to podcast {at} ubuntu-uk {dot} org.

Add podcasts to Rhythmbox Brainstorm idea

Edit: Added this page to the wiki:- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Podcasts to track potential podcasts for inclusion.
