=== Daniel Holbach: What's going on with the Nexus 7? ===
Daniel Holbach gives us an update about Nexus 7 and Ubuntu 13.04
(Raring Ringtale):
* A new onboard pre-release made it into 13.04 which fixes many bugs
and makes the on-screen keyboard much easier to use.
* The new Unity stack is included in 13.04 and is now automatically
tested after commits and auto-released as part of a 13.04 build.
* The new images use oem-config to present the installer window where
users can specify a username, a wireless network, and other bits.
Holbach informs us it is now possible to put Ubuntu 13.04 on the Nexus
7 without any additional PPAs or reflashing. Holbach also writes about
further improvements to memory usage and recommends Alex Chiang's
articles, which can be found at the following links:

=== James Gifford: Why I Moved From Dropbox To Ubuntu One For Note Taking ===

major operating systems, it is the best choice for him.

=== Timo Jyrinki: Compiz fullscreen unredirection - update ===
Timo Jyrinki brings an update about Compiz's "unredirection by
default" feature for full-screen applications:
* The option is Composite -> Undirect Match (unredirect_match)
available in the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm).
* change the unredirect_match option to be just '(any)' for enabling
video playback on older/slower integrated graphics devices, which are
usually just barely able to play HD videos with risk of tearing some
drivers and apps
* And many others...

instead of adding new features.

=== Daniel Holbach: What's going on with the Nexus 7? ===
Daniel Holbach gives us an update about Nexus 7 and Ubuntu 13.04
(Raring Ringtale):
* A new onboard pre-release made it into 13.04 which fixes many bugs
and makes the on-screen keyboard much easier to use.
* The new Unity stack is included in 13.04 and is now automatically
tested after commits and auto-released as part of a 13.04 build.
* The new images use oem-config to present the installer window where
users can specify a username, a wireless network, and other bits.
Holbach informs us it is now possible to put Ubuntu 13.04 on the Nexus
7 without any additional PPAs or reflashing. Holbach also writes about
further improvements to memory usage and recommends Alex Chiang's
articles, which can be found at the following links:

=== Timo Jyrinki: Compiz fullscreen unredirection - update ===
Timo Jyrinki brings an update about Compiz's "unredirection by
default" feature for full-screen applications:
* The option is Composite -> Undirect Match (unredirect_match)
available in the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm).
* change the unredirect_match option to be just '(any)' for enabling
video playback on older/slower integrated graphics devices, which are
usually just barely able to play HD videos with risk of tearing some
drivers and apps
* And many others...
