From a comment on LifeHacker regarding the new layout of the window buttons (now on the left side of the bar instead of the right): 'Moving buttons left back to the right Alt+F2. "gconf-editor" appsmetacitygeneral. Change "button_layout" to: menu:minimize,maximize,close And now your buttons are on the right.' And here it is with pictures.

The FCC has recently launched a new website, broadband.gov . While not Linux-related per se, this does affect all of us in the US in one way or another. Take the time today to test your broadband speed via the government's new website. While I doubt they'll do anything about it, my hope is that the data will help shape the future of the FCC's decisions on technology and pipelines to the homes of our country. Hopefully, they'll finally get ride of the duopoly that's been in place for so long and move onto something better. Here's the website to visit. Much more information provided after the jump.
