It seems - google also started to use Ubuntu Distro internally.A post on the Register, claiming that Google might be close to rolling out a “Goobuntu” Linux desktop distro, has been making the usual rounds in the tech news circuit today. Despite today being earnings release day, presumably a very busy time at the Google press relations office, technology spokeswoman Sonya Borälv responded very quickly to my query on the topic. She said that “[w]e use Ubuntu internally but have no plans to distribute it outside of the company.”

The fine folks behind Ubuntu will be happy with this indirect endorsement by one of the biggest names in technology, but there won’t be any Goobuntu PCs on the shelves of your local Best Buy for the foreseeable future. The Register is probably right when it says that Ubuntu stands to gain from having Google engineers working on their code, but the main premise for the article is easily dismissed.

Joga is about getting to know your fellow fans; creating games and clubs; accessing athletes from Nike; and enjoying video clips and photos (you can even upload your own). You can strengthen existing friendships and begin new ones, join a wide variety of professional athletes and soccer communities, and even create your own to discuss soccer, exchange tips on the coolest moves, browse through various pitches worldwide, and plan your next game.

But most of all, Joga is about “Joga Bonito” — Portuguese for “play beautiful.”
