Microsoft begins rolling out new MSN Homepage

msn_newlogohome If you’re familiar with the new homepage that is available in beta, there really isn’t anything to report here. But for those that don’t know anything about the changes Microsoft’s making, now you do.

The Redmond company has begun rolling out the new MSN.com homepage, which features a more content-centric look and feel, with a more refined look and feel, much different from that of what you currently see right now.

So what’s different in this upcoming new release?

First of all, Microsoft is all over the content space, featured news is now at the top, with accompanying content as you scroll down, which is seperated by small tabs for each section. Similar to a lot of big news sites out there like foxnews.com and cnn.com. If your looking for a specific section, Microsoft changed the header to have streamlined “categories”, which are clearly visible.

Microsoft Evangelist, Mary Jo Foley pointed out that the new MSN.com web site will only be available to the U.S. for the time being, that they will be rolling out international versions of the site during the launch of the U.S. version, there is no estimated time of launch.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you can go check it out here.

Ubuntu shows up on Smartphones

blackeubuntulogo The guys over at XDA-Developers have managed to do it again, and run Ubuntu on devices such as the HTC Touch Pro2, and the XPERIA X1. What’s most interesting about this story is that everything appears to run normally as it would if you were running it on a netbook, laptop or desktop, the only difference being that there are some things that may or may not work.

While this isn’t a new thing, getting Desktop-class Operating Systems on a mobile device to work is. We’ve seen Android on various Windows Mobile devices using the same method described over at XDA, but nothing like this.

If you’re interested in looking at this, or experimenting with it, you’re going to need an SD Card, and I assume some additional requirements, but go ahead and give it a shot if you’ve got nothing better to do.
