The H is shutting down
The H has announced its closure. "Although The H has produced many widely read stories, it has not been possible to effectively monetise that traffic to produce a working business model." Here at LWN we understand that problem well. The H has indeed produced a lot of quality content over the years; we are genuinely sad to see it go.

Bacon: Announcing the Ubuntu Edge
Jono Bacon announces that Canonical will be building and shipping a "fully converged" device called the "Ubuntu Edge" — all funded by a $32 million Indiegogo campaign. "The Ubuntu Edge will dual boot Ubuntu and Android, and will transform into a PC when docked with a monitor, with the full Ubuntu desktop and shared access to all the phone’s files. For this it needs the power of a PC, so Ubuntu Edge will be equipped with the latest, fastest processor, at least 4GB of RAM and a massive 128GB of storage."
