I am playing around with Asus X101 (excellent, excellent thingie for it’s price). First I was surprised for lack of “apps” (as we called “programs” before iphone descended on this planet).
Then, after looking for some hacks on installing such vital software like skype and teamviewer, it all turned out to be pretty simple – just look for fedora/redhat rpm’s. for example, to set up teamviewer you go to download section in teamviewer site. and select the latest fedora/redhat rpm for download which in time of writing this post is called teamviewer_linux.rpm. Here is what you do with rpm if you dont know what to do with rpm:
After it’s been downloaded, open terminal on MeeGo – Applications->SystemTools->Terminal.
type following in command prompt (mostly you will be in home, but “just in case”):

[user@user-desktop ~]$ cd ~/Downloads
[user@user-desktop ~]$ sudo rpm -i teamviewer_linux.rpm

just change teamviewer_linux.rpm to anything else you have downloaded. for instance, skype.

While FireBug is only thing holding me to FireFox, Google has released Chrome version 10 (stable)
Among other useless discutable features as “New settings pages that open in a tab, rather than a dialog box” there are some pleasing innovations that gives me additional confidence in switich to Chrome as deault browser:

  • GPU Accelerated Video (have you tried watching hd vids on firefox? And i mean vimeo kind of hd video, not youtube pixeljunk)
  • Sandboxed Adobe Flash on Windows
  • New version of V8 – Crankshaft – which greatly improves javascript performance

This is from TED.

In this short talk, Arianna Huffington shares a small idea that can awaken much bigger ones: the power of a good night’s sleep. Instead of bragging about our sleep deficits, she urges us to shut our eyes and see the big picture: We can sleep our way to increased productivity and happiness — and smarter decision-making.
