Canonical prepares to increase the storage for Ubuntu One, however, the new storage limit is yet to be disclosed.

In case you don't know, Ubuntu One is a service which allows Ubuntu users to synchronize files between multiple computers via the internet and also share files using it's web interface or work remotely with those computers. Currently, users get 2 GB of space available for free or 10 GB of available space for $10.00 (USD) per month.

Canonical seems to be listening very closely to Ubuntu One user requests regarding Windows, Mac OS X and iPhone support too (Ubuntu One currently runs on Ubuntu only), and they may "revisit the discussion at the beginning of next year [2010]," says Ubuntu One Product Manager Matt Griffin. "A few people have chimed in and said they’re interested in doing [cross-platform] development, but we haven’t seen anything concrete yet," adds Griffin.

Linux: /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes. (or in ~/.gimp-2.6/scripts or ~/.gimp-2.7/scripts, depending on your version - if you don't want it to be available for other users).

To load some CSS files based on the screen resolution of the visitor, basically you just have to use some JavaScript like this:

<script type="text/JavaScript">
var screenwidth = screen.width;
if (screenwidth < 750){
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://path.to/750px.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />');
}
if ((screenwidth >= 750) && (screenwidth <= 950)){
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://path.to/750px.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />');
}
if (screenwidth => 1024) {
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://path.to/1024px.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />');
else {
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://path.to/verylarge.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />');
}
</script>

gbitly-applet is an applet for Gnome which enables creation of short urls without logging into bit.ly. Its still in its development stage but alpha version is available.

How it works: you will need to right click your Gnome panel, select "Add to Panel" and add gbitly-applet, then right clicking the applet you will see a form in which you must fill in the long URL which you want to get shortened. Also, the applet automatically detects a long URL you previously copied (from the clipboard) and adds it to the long URL field.
