Gnome 3 Shell Forked As Cinnamon
So why has Gnome 3 been forked […] ? [It] comes with a completely new way of using the desktop that not everyone will be comfortable with.
With the release of Linux Mint 12, the Linux Mint developers created extensions for Gnome 3 that brought back a lot of the Gnome 2-style UIs however, there is a limit to how far one can go with just extensions.

Android Drivers To Be Included In Linux 3.3 Kernel
Android drivers are returning to the Linux kernel. Kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman has retrieved the Android drivers removed from the staging area of Linux 2.6.33 in the spring of 2010 and put them back into his development branch for version 3.3 of the Linux kernel.
The plan is for a Linux 3.3 kernel to be able to boot on an Android device without further patches – although not all Android patches are being automatically carried over to the main development branch. For example, the WakeLock code, which helps Android devices' batteries last longer but is not necessary for booting, is not included.

Ubuntu Kills Java
Oracle’s Sun Java JDK packages are to be removed from the Ubuntu partner repositories and disabled on users systems after Larry Ellison ruled that the retiring the ‘Operating System Distributor License for Java, means Canonical no longer have permission to use it.
The change will affect Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 users only. Those who have ‘sun-java-6' package installed on their system will see it removed via a future software update.
