+Saturday May 5th was the 24 hours of Flickr event in which Flickr members all over the world recorded their lives for 24 hours. The results, ranging from the mundane to the sublime, are starting to trickle in to the 24 hours of Flickr group.
+
+There are currently just over 4200 photos in the pool, but that number will grow in the next few says since Flickr members who participated still have time left to post their images. 
+
+There's an RSS feed for the [24 hours of Flickr][5] group so you get the images delivered to your favorite reader.
+
+It's a good way to kill some times on a slow monday morning, should you be so lucky as to have such a thing.

+Google has bumped Google Scholar up to front page status. There's now a link to Google Scholar available under the "more" option on the Google search homepage. According to my neighbor, a PhD candidate who lives for Google Scholar, this option has long been available on the front page to those using a university network.
+
+For those that have never used it, [Google Scholar][2] is an index of scientific and scholarly publications, many of which are not included in Google's main search index. 
+
+Google Scholar indexes peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts, and more from all broad areas of research. If you're looking for something more authoritative than the Post, Google Scholar is your friend.

+You click it everyday. It's on your phone, your PDA and in your software. The "OK" button is nearly ubiquitous, but where did it come from? According to the UI design blog, [History of the Button][1], the "OK" button made its debut in Apple's Lisa software.
+
+The interface designers were apparently testing some interaction dialogues in Lisa and noticed that the dialogue box with "Cancel" and "Do It" caused problems for many users. According the [folklore.org][2] one user in particular was frustrated by the "Do It" button:
+
+>It turns out he wasn't noticing the space between the 'o' and the 'I' in 'Do It'; in the sans-serif system font we were using, a capital 'I' looked very much like a lower case 'l', so he was reading 'Do It' as 'Dolt' and was therefore kind of offended.
+
+The designers decided to switch to "OK" instead.
+
+The interesting thing about that switch is that it has implication well beyond just readability in san serif fonts. As Bill DeRouchey writes on History of the Button, "OK" represents a complete change in semantic approach to machines.
+
+>Interesting. "Do it!" is the same as previous versions of Enter or Execute. It's commanding the machine to do something. OK is acquiescing to the machine, forming a partnership. In the end, the simple OK button may have contributed to the success of the Macintosh. It changed the relationship between person and computer, away from the master and slave mentality toward a friendlier world where the computer is a partner.

+Microsoft has announced the worldwide availability of Windows Live Hotmail, the successor to MSN Hotmail. The [revamped Hotmail][2] now features Ajax navigation, drag and drop message filing and tighter integration with Outlook.
+
+The [update][1] brings Hotmail up to speed with its competitors like GMail and Yahoo mail which have offered Ajax-style auto-refreshing and better message sorting option for ages.
+
+Other nice additional features include auto-complete addressing, preview pane customization and an integrated Windows Live Messenger for initiating chat conversations.
+
+If the new Hotmail is not your cup of tea, there is still the option to use the old look of MSN Hotmail. There's also an option to customize the color theme. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid losing roughly on third of your vertical screen real estate to the massive banner ads on the page.
+
+Hotmail users can now take advantage of 2 GB of storage space, but outside access is still limited to Outlook or Outlook Express. 
+
+Microsoft says that in the coming months they will offer a new free email client, dubbed Windows Live Mail, which is intended to be a successor to Outlook Express and Windows Mail, that integrates with the new Hotmail. 
+
+Windows Live Mail will initially be released as a beta, with the final version arriving at some as yet unknown point in the future.
+
+The new Hotmail features will certainly be welcome for existing users, but with all of these features and more already available via GMail, it's hard to see why anyone would feel compelled to start using Hotmail now.

+The Education Ministry of India aims to out do the OLPC project by producing a laptop for under $10. 
+
+Although India rejected an offer from the OLPC project last year citing concerns about children's health and computers, the government announced recently that it will undertake a new project with the goal of building a $10 laptop.
+
+Like most things that sound too good to be true, the $10 laptop ma be a figment of the government's imagination.
+
+So far, the Indian ministry of education is two design submissions, but neither has hit the $10 mark. After factoring in labor charges the cheaper of the two reportedly costs about $47.
+
+But even the OPLC's goal of the $100 laptop proved impossible, the final bill for the OPLC machines is about $176. However it's possible that the Indian plan will use recycled components, which could lower the costs somewhat.
+
+Still, while the techno-optimists in us want to believe, $10 just may not be realistic.

+Tweako, the Digg-style tutorials site has built up an impressive backlog of Ubuntu tutorials. Tweako's tutorials are good place to start researching Ubuntu if you're thinking of picking up a [new Dell laptop][4]. 
+
+Ubuntu seems to have established itself as the "switcher" Linux of choice and for good reason. It's one of the easiest Linux distros to install and it comes preloaded with all the applications most people will need.
+
+The [Ubuntu tutorials][2] on [Tweako][3] cover everything from customizing keyboard shortcuts to more general speed optimization tips. If you've been considering making the switch to Ubuntu, but don't want to jump blind, the Tweako list is good place to start.
+
+Also be sure to check out our [rundown on Ubuntu][1] from last year, but keep in mind that some the issues reported are out of date now that the new [Feisty Fawn edition][5] of Ubuntu is available.

+Thanks to WikipediaFS, Wikipedia fiends tired of reloading pages in the browser can now, provided they're using Linux, mount the site as a virtual filesystem.
+
+[WikipediaFS][1] is a mountable Linux virtual file system that enables you to view and edit Wikipedia (or any Mediawiki-based site) articles as if they were real files.
+
+That means you can view and edit articles within your favorite text editor, which is much better equipped for such tasks than a browser window.
+
+I stumbled across WikipediaFS this morning via the [Hackszine blog][2] and while I haven't actually tried to use WikipediaFS, I do have a couple warning for you. First off the project page on Sourceforge lists WikipediaFS as pre-alpha, which means that there will most likely be some issues.
+
+The other warning to temper your enthusiasm is simply that the project doesn't seem to be very active. The last update in the version control system is a couple months old and the project seems a bit stalled.
+
+However, given that the idea is a great one, perhaps some Compiler readers with a few [cycles to spare][3], might like to lend a hand.
