How could I miss that. I was regularly checking skype.com to see when the video feature would be available for their famous Voip soft under linux. Well actually it’s available since December at least. But only in a beta version (2.0.0.43). I didn’t test it yet but I’m really looking forward to it.

Zatoo is a software that stream live TV. It was only available for mac and windows, but now it’s also available for linux distros and of course Ubuntu.

36 channels are available in many languages. Even though the quality is not HD, it’s a nice way to watch tv on your computer.

To install zatoo you’ll have to sign in, then you can download the version you need (.deb for Ubuntu users).

Remember I told you that I couldn’t run games in full 3d on Ubuntu and that compiz fusion wasn’t working for the same reason. Well I found the way to install the drivers for my ati radeon 9600 M10 properly on the atiwiki page.

Now games are runing fine and I can run compiz fusion. Ahahah finaly. If you’re wondering how to install compizF. Follow the howto guide on Forlong’s blog, it’s very well explained. Then have a look at the setting page as well. Also have a look on the official compiz-fusion website.
