First Ubuntu Billboard spotted August 3, 2006
Posted by Carthik in ubuntu.trackback
Thanks to Wildbill‘s cellphone photo clicking speed, we now can see the first pics of a Ubuntu billboard in the US. Ever.
Boy have I waited for this. I will be so very happy when I walk into Walmart and see free Ubuntu CDs in place of the free AOL cds. Hmm, wait a second – that kind of ubiquity could be obnoxious – but hey! I’ll take a billboard!
The above billboard was spotted near the Ralston exit in Redwood City, USA.
Ubuntu Blog 
That’s awesome, why isn’t the world full of them?
OMFG
Cool! Where can I get one to put in front of my house? 😉
I don’t think having the CDs in Wal-Mart would be obnoxious because unlike the AOL CD, Ubuntu is actually free with no strings attached.
Not to mention stable, fast, and not the spawn of satan 😉

Good to hear that Ubuntu’s finally got out. Shame that WildBill is an ass, if you use IE to view his page it won’t let you in. Thank you. Not.
I use IE because it is WAY faster than FF. People like WildBill just screw things up. Please, WildBill, If you read this, get rid of that page.
Now the real challenge is getting people to pronounce it correctly…
Awesome! I hope they start displaying more soon…
If you are going for speed, you should use Opera. Not that I’ve ever noted any significant difference between IE and Firefox on Windows machines.
And either Firefox or Opera would be a far better choice than IE, in terms of unpatched bugs in products with high-level access to your system.
FF Is Faster than IE!!!
I guess if all you care about is speed, you’re ok. (I personally think that FF is just as fast if not faster than IE on my Windows machine) I’m guessing you also don’t care about standards compliance either? More people should block non-standards compliant browsers.
LAWL Windows > Ubuntu.
Open-Source fails.
Tim: Now you know who every non-IE user feels when they try an visit a Microsoft ownd site!!
And lets see how fast IE is when you get a virus/trojan/malware installed just by browsing the web.
Cool Man
You guys always turn everything into MS bashing. Grow up. People are entitled to use what they want. Don’t like it, don’t use it.

>> Don’t like it, don’t use it.
exactly. i don’t like it when a browser is unable to display my standard-compliant websites properly. so i block ie too.
right decision!
thats awesome
and I’ve never seen IE go faster than FF
I mean, I prefer Windows to anything else, and I don’t think Microsoft is this big evil company that everyone seems to think it is, but I still use Linux.s
It’s great that there’s an Ubuntu billboard, but most people haven’t heard of Linux.
Is there any word on who is paying for this advertising? Is it a local user group?
Well this comment thread fell into jibberish pretty quickly…
What freeway was it snapped on?
Good to see Linux move off of geek computers and “in your face”.
Wow that is cool, they should be put up everywhere !!
I have a dual boot system – XP & Unbuntu.
I won’t ever be able to completely “switch” until I’ve got illustrator / photoshop under linux. Just won’t happen.
NICE!!!!!!
First in US maybe: when I was in SA 18 months ago they were all over the place.
us != world;
so who was the lucky user that got this instead of stickers in with their shipit cds
fasfs
I’m excited to see where this actually takes the OS…
I’m a Firefox fun, but actually Opera is faster than both Firefox and IE.
Linux is broken commie garbage with no real support.
Soc, you know that Firefox isn’t 100% standards complient either, right? You do know that Firefox still breaks a lot of pages, right? You do know that Firefox, because of all it’s “features” can easily be more bloated, more haddle, slower, and less secure than IE, right?
Or do you just not know anything about Firefox?
“broken commie garbage with no real support”? Spoken like someone without any understanding of Linux or the outstanding Linux community. In almost every computer I’ve installed Ubuntu and Windows on, Ubuntu recognizes more hardware and configures more drivers. In Windows, you need to actually visit the manufactures website and pull down a bunch of drivers.
i was using FF but the network/IT guys did something and now when i launch FF it dies… i have no idea what they did… BASTARDS! good thing they do not know about opera. hehe
Scott Perry:
North bound 101 in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m sure for all of us here in the bay area, (linux user or not), it’s pretty run of the mill to see anything tech related on a billboard, but this one caught my eye!
Wow you attracted Bill Gate’s attention I see 😛 He got too jealous maybe lolz.
Awesom, here we had a Firefox bus, now waiting for an Ubuntu bus XD
[…] well folks mark down today as the first sighting of a Ubuntu billboard promoting linux distro as reported on the ubuntu blog. Taken in Redwood City, USA. technorati tags: ubuntu, linux ============================================================== […]
Man, that’s a poor advert.
Nick – Please don’t hate on IE so much, not everyone has a choice in what browser they use. I work in a hell hole where they HATE everything non-M$ (the IT borg even loves Vista) I have managed to get Maxthon on my computer (but I don’t know when thay will find that and kill it too)
Ubuntu Billboard
via Ubuntu Blog…
The right tool for the job. I’m burned out on installing every new Linux distro that comes along. Probably because I’m an old geezer who remembers the days before cd-roms (but not floppies – I’m not that old).
I run Novell, REL, Mandriva, Solaris, FreeBSD, WinXP/2K3, and OS X at home. The right tool for whatever job I’m doing is what I use.
But this should be about the billboard. I don’t like billboards, but whenever I see a geek-oriented billboard, it makes me feel like a symbol that we (us nerds) won. GO NERDS!
CB – Thankyou. I’m not bashing FF. I like its tabbing and cool plugins, but it takes so long to launch,
I wipe my system every 2 months to keep it clean and fast, so viruses aren’t normally a matter.
Isn’t the whole point of open source to give people a free choice? WildBill effectively kills this by preventing IE users from getting to his site. Boy, is he going to win a lot of converts… It’s not the way to do it!!
Some time ago I ordered some ubuntu live CDs, it does pretty well on a moderate machine but the X Windows interface is a tad heavy on graphics, the integrated GFX on most PII and PIII boards don’t like it.
why the hell would your IT guys block FF? I do the opposite here at work…I install FF on all PCs and disable IE.
@DesireCampbell
“Firefox isn’t 100% standards complient…”
Yup. I agree, they really need to work on this.
“…can easily be more bloated…”
More bloated than what? You can’t compare FF to IE6, that’s like comparing WinXP to Win98, they are completely different generation products. IE7 unfortunately is a bloated peice of #$%^, far more than FF.
32: Try renaming the firefox.exe executable.

Photoshop = gimp or gimpshop. Also consider Pixel.
Illustrator = inkscape
And where do the “commie” remarks originate from? Microsoft.
..and that’s the bottom line..
My city of birth comes through once again.
(Its first time coming through was my birth, of course)
Ralston is in Belmont, not Redwood City.
Wildbill doesn’t want IE users. I don’t blame him. I’m glad he’s blocking IE users, who are mostly morons anyway. As for those that can’t run anything but IE at work, that’s your fault for working at such a company.
@ Rich
Hear, Hear… There must be some marketing geeks that use Ubuntu and could have better gotten the message across – I’m one of them!
Your got to use words like “Free” and “Secure” that people respond to. And play on (some of) their hatred for being tied down with Windows
Billboards are not great venues for this type of advertising anyway – too much to convey – though it could’ve been much better 😦

Hope we get to see more of thos billboards! Maybe they’ll soon have em internationally…
Stop bashing youselves up guys. Everyone should use whatever broswer or OS they want too, even if it does suck.
Blocking IE or saying it is impossible to code for IE is just an admission that you have no idea what you are talking about. I have seen just as many bugs with FF, Opera, and Safari (Opera especially — it is a horrible, horrible browser to code for). Honestly, I feel IE works more based on how I expect it to (see display:inline) versus how the w3c tells me it should, and more innovation has come from IE (xmlhttprequest, innerHTML) not following standards.
[…] Ubuntu Blog » First Ubuntu Billboard spotted […]
I just saw this yesterday myself.
this is probably old news to you computer sweethearts, but i thought ubuntu was some kind of african chant? and you have to say it over and over to make sure a free copy of quicktime doesn’t magically appear in your program list?
Sweet!
ubuntonista, can we please smack those who are bickering about browsers and changing the subject?
The article is about a billboard, people!
Please have some respect for my friend, ubuntonista. His blog is great and we do not need to start flame wars over browsers.
The billboard is awesome! Personally, I will be truly impressed when I start seeing Ubuntu commercials on TV!
Remember a few years ago when Muhammad Ali was doing IBM Linux commercials? What ever happened to that?
I would love a parody of the Mac OSX guy belittling the Windows (Bill Gates look-a-like) guy. Perhaps, ubuntonista, we need to talk to the Ubuntu PR and marketing team! 😎
I have to admit that I’m jealous that both Linux and Mac are able to turn out amazing operating systems at normal intervals. We’re struggling to get a wack OS done within five years.

Do YOU know anything about firefox? Iv been using it for close to a year and have NEVER gotten a broken page. It very very rarely crashes and the worst thats happend to me is that i couldnt use some features on sites because they needed activeX control. However, when I use IE, many pages become broken, i have to click that damned activex thing all the time and the no tabbed browsing is extremly anoying (except in ie7). Also firefox loads images faster than IE, making it actualy faster than IE. And when IE crashes, it takes down the whole operating system for gods sake. Talk about unstable.
And btw what browser IS 100% standards complian?
matt if you think Opera 9 is full of bugs or is horrible to code for I think maybe you are misreading the standards.
Perhaps IE works more the way you expect it to because you have been developing for the broken standards in IE for so long and (due to the fact you have to).
IE 7 is a nice improvment over IE6. Firefox is fine too. Opera is quite nice as well.
Generally it is pretty easy to code for all three at the same time. IE6 though- ugh. At one point I really liked IE6 (becuase it was the best available). But I don’t let that cloud my judgement of today’s browsers.
Now, back to the excellent question posted by Bob (#52) – what kind of phone was being used to take that photo? For a camera phone that is a great photo.
Just so you’all know – this billboard on 101 has REALLY bad karma! I drive by it every day – it used to have Informix throwing rocks at Oracle, then it turned into IBM proclaiming the virtues of DB2 (WTF!)… anyway, I don’t know who’s responsible for the ad but this is a bad geek omen!

Enough with the flame war please.
This post is about an Ubuntu billboard. Please take your browser war somewhere else.
Hey I have an idea: let’s talk about how awesome the Ubuntu billboard is!
Great picture.. Nothing like that around where I live..
Yes, the next person to mention browsers will be flogged with floppies containing MSIE 3.0…
@Brent – awesome that they’re doing something other than “word of mouth”, execution stinks, though… (see my post above 😉
THIS IS VERY GOOD!!
@ABE
I donno about your suggestions there. As a part-time graphic designer myself(I mostly develop, but I do graphics too) I find GIMP just doesn’t have enough. Photoshop is the best tool I have used. I think Linux really needs to get Photoshop CS and up working perfectly in order to get a large jump of users. I would love to switch to Linux, but I don’t wana do a dual OS. I may throw a linux distro on a laptop in the future, but I need my tools to do my job, and therefore can not switch outside of windows (I hate mac, so it’s not an option by default)
@Nate – Like I say, I will truly be impressed, when I start to see Ubuntu commercials on television.
Remember the IBM Linux commercials? Well Canonical is nowhere close to IBM yet, but…
And let’s remember that there is a market for Ubuntu besides just on the geek desktop.
Ubuntu makes a wonderful server! Yes, security and the word “free” is big.
It is the commercial support, for businesses, which is the most relevant issue I believe.
Ubuntu has grown largely because of word of mouth. It will get even bigger with wider hardware support, and OEM installations on in-store computer systems. Look at Linspire, another good distro. I would not be surprised to see companies like Wal-Mart invest in this.
Speaking of investment, this is probably going to be the key issue for advertising. Large companies investing in Ubuntu will make it grow, and become reputable in the IT world.
Speaking of Linspire, I believe that it would be wise for Ubuntu to offer a similar (optional) service to CNR for the desktop. Beginners tend to be intimidated by Linux and are fearful of the unknown. If Ubuntu ever intends to have commercial fervor, on the mainstream desktop, along-side Windows and OSX, it will adopt an even more user-friendly approach.
Yes, it is already easy with apt/synaptic (for geeks at least), but what has made Windows so popular is the ease-of-use in which software is able to be installed.
The idea is, that you want Grandma to be able to use it without help.
CNR is secure, and the idea has already been toyed with, I believe. CNR is also open-source now, for all of you purists out there. And if $20.00/year is expensive to you, then it’s time to ask your boss for a raise!
Ubuntu is going to be huge, there is no doubt about it. I have never seen a Linux distro grow so quickly.
We can be proud to be on the cutting edge!

[…] The purpose of this post is to give folks that have never used Ubuntu (or even Linux) and idea of what Ubuntu is all about. The reason for putting this together is that most of the existing reviews online are exactly that: reviews. While certainly helpful for existing Linux users it doesn’t give folks who have never tried Linux (or even Mac) before a good introduction to this crazy new thing called “Ubuntu”. There are concepts in Ubuntu that don’t exist in some other Linux distrobutions especially if the last time you tried Linux was back in the day of hunting through rpmfind.net digging for your exact build of the RPM you needed in order to get Wine to run Half-Life 1.

–“I will be so very happy when I walk into Walmart and see free Ubuntu CDs in place of the free AOL cds.”–
Obviously, you do not understand how the retail channel works. Walmart doesn’t give out AOL CD’s because they want to improve humanity. They don’t give out CD’s to be provide a service to their customers. They give out AOL CD’s because AOL pays them a shitload of money. Retailers make money by selling things. Every square inch of their retail store costs money. It wouldn’t matter if Ubuntu CD’s came home and –bleep:)– and washed the dishes — they aren’t giving them out for free. Not now. Not ever.
[…] Update (August 7, 2006): This billboard has been widely covered in the tech community, accompanied by a low-quality cameraphone picture and a lot of people who don’t quite know what’s going on. First, the billboard is not a fake or a hoax; it really exists. Second, despite many claims, the billboard is not in Redwood City, California; the marshy land to the east of Highway 101 between Hillsdale and Ralston Avenues is actually part of Belmont, California, although Redwood Shores, Foster City, and San Mateo are all nearby. Third, the billboard was erected the morning of Tuesday, August 1 and remained standing as of today. I’ve not yet encountered a picture of the billboard with a higher resolution or better quality than the one above, although there may be one somewhere. […]

Go grab yourself a copy of VMWare’s WMWare “SERVER” (free … gotta love that price) and you will never dual-boot again !!!
I am running ALL of my Adobe appliances (including CS2, Dreamveaver, Flash) in a VM and I have never been happier!!
(Sorry GIMP but your GUI is just not user friendly at all!!)
My machine is only an Athlon 650 w/768 MB of ram, and Photoshop/Flash are just as fast as they were in windows before using VMWare server ….
You will want to install the VMWare Tools once your server is installed, as this will correct the mouse responsiveness.
Good Luck!

“broken commie garbage with no real support”
Yep, that pretty much sums it up……. windows that is
I dont think CNR is a good idea, Gnome-app-install is very easy to use and in Edgy (Ubuntu 6.10) it will be even more powerfull.
I think the Ubuntu promotion we’re doing at the moment is ok, but even if Ubuntu is a better OS the world is not ready for it yet.
By which I mean, hardware companies dont give a damn and dont support linux/ open source their drivers and most games companies dont port their games to linux/ open source their engines.
So at the moment TV commercials would be like cutting our nose off to shoot ourselves in the foot. We would be spending waay to much money for people to try it out and dismiss it as bad software for lack of hardware support, which is not our fault.
PS: FIREFOX RULES!!!!

“Wildbill doesn’t want IE users. I don’t blame him. I’m glad he’s blocking IE users, who are mostly morons anyway. As for those that can’t run anything but IE at work, that’s your fault for working at such a company.”
Wow. I can’t believe just how nieve an individual can be.
If I was running a large network I would try to ensure that no user could download and install any software onto that machine. It makes sense as doing so reduces the chances of an employee downloading a trojan and putting us into a self induced quarantine as we clean up.
Would I therefore be working for ‘such a company’?
If there was a single influential individual who said ‘no firefox, people are used to IE and I want them to get what they’re familiar with rather than what might be best, because it’s just simpler to support people when they’re using what they’re used to’.
Would that make it ‘such a company?’
So many influences and reasons exist for why Person A has no choice but to use Software B. It may be the best company in the world in all respects other than which browser they force their employees to use.
And in reality, why the hell should an individual care?
It’s a little annoying to use IE at work, but the main reasons for not doing so at home are to do with security… and guess what, at work I’m not responsible for security. I’ll miss the tab browsing, but other than that… whatever.
Limiting a site to a sub-set of users based on some petty stereotyping is basically segregation. It’s prejudice. You are pre-judging people people based on a limited set of knowledge from which you cannot realiably make assumptions.
That puts you in a very delicate position when if comes to any future point on moral discussion.

I personally use Ubuntu + FF. But hey, people have to admit that IE loads just that little bit faster, and it is catching up in terms of Standards Compliance as well. (I am not paid for to say this).
People just grow up and get a life other than flaming IE, MS, Windows, FF, etc. Get away from your computer. For a while.

I don’t think having the CDs in Wal-Mart would be obnoxious because unlike the AOL CD, Ubuntu is actually free with no strings attached.

The advent and widespread diffusion of quartz watches has threatened to take forty winks the old-school reflex watches to go to good. Purely keep an eye on fans who would rather created a solemnity representing themselves, a half a mo when they obtain the adjust to imminent their watch. How on earth it is undeniable that this occupation can be extremely tedious and restful to forget also in behalf of some. The self-winding shift as we comprehend it today was born from the studies of a watchmaker named Abraham-Louis Perrelet (1729-1826). The first achievement of this technique which had a verifiable industrial diligence, with a sleek and efficacious manipulation, was done by Hans Wilsdorf, with its Sempiternal plan in 1931. Over and above the years, damn near all vital luxury supervise manufacturers receive developed a self-winding change of attitude of their own invent, using the results achieved past other manufacturers before them.
Movado Watches
To be conversant with how a self-winding change works it is high-priority to distinguish what happens when you close at hand a clock. We all identify the idiosyncratic sound that a insensible to makes when you do this. Recollect the spring toys from when we were children, and the sound that was made by the key when they were loaded? It is the same, although much more piercing and certainly less cultivated than our mechanical watch. This is because the “apparatus” that powers the watch is a leap, upright as the only contained in the tin toys of out of date days. It is a begin tape, wrapped everywhere itself and contained in a metal cylinder of flat raise, called a barrel. Joke goal of the derive from is connected to the shaft at the center of the barrel and the other end, the outer a given is fixed to the obstacle of the barrel itself. Next to its quality, once coiled the spring tends to unwind releasing its stored hidden puissance, which is the “inflame” that runs the watch. The leap is fixed by the gears of the advance and so it unfolds slowly releasing the extensible puissance accumulated within.
After these clarifications, it is promptly easier to be in sympathy with the mechanical mechanisms developed via the watchmakers on the side of a self-winding pay attention to (at least as elongated as you attire it on your wrist). All automatic moving mechanisms function the energy of our conventional movements. The underlying grounds is to renew the manually operated turning of the potentate with the rotary signal of a metallic oceans of semicircular shape. At the beck the impulse of our gestures this metallic volume, called the rotor oscillates on its axis loading the spring.
It would look as if that this is the simplest colloid, but the bond between the rotor and the barrel is not so easy because of the strife that dissipates energy. Accordingly, the strength delinquent in implementing a self-winding repositioning is in the transmission process of the rotary oscillating movement of this gimmick to the barrel. The correct paradigm of dispatching system worn is what differentiates between the knee-jerk movements included in different types of luxury watches.
The biggest conflict is the presence or non-attendance of the inverter, an foundations that enables the capturing of forcefulness from the going of the rotor regardless of its direction of rotation. There are elements of the charging routine which, although do not bound to to the self-winding process, make the difference between an ineluctable increase and another. An example of this is the several of barrels, which currently varies from the same to four and manages to increase the autonomy of the observation from ’round forty hours to fifteen days

Здравствуйте.
Небольшой вопрос, если кто-то сталкивался, на службе дали задачу заснять колибри, пошукав нашел множество видеокамер скоростной съемки от бытовых до профессиональных.
Параметры съемки нужны следующие: 1280 x 1080px, 5600 кадр/с, 28 мкм. Нашел несколько подходящих видеокамер вот здесь,но нет отзывов об применении, да и о отношении качество\цена, есть кто имел дело с высокоскоростной съемкой.
Прошу прощения если выбрал не совсем тематический раздел, не нашел более подходящего…
