Linux Kernel 3.0 Released

Suchetha writes "In a posting on his Google+ page Linus Torvalds announced the launch of Linux kernel 3.0. This follows the kernel missing the planned release date of the 19th because of 'a subtle bug.'"

So what's new?

No Anonymous Cowards, for starters :) But on a more serious note, you can follow and be followed exactly like twitter except that you can publish a full-fledged post rather than a 140 char headline or note pointing to the actual post elsewhere. In this particular scenario, cuts a layer of middlemen.

It isn't. If you're counting operating systems on mobile platforms, Android beats all the other smartphone platforms.

Operating system share, Q4 2010 [wikipedia.org]

* Android : 33%
* Symbian : 31%
* iOS : 16%
* Blackberry : 14%
* Windows Mobile : 3%
* Other : 3%

  The Android kernel is a fork of Linux.
