Network Manager not running error on Ubuntu 12.04 (FIXED)

I upgraded my Linux system (Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS) a few minutes ago. And, my network manager haven't work since. So , if you happen to experience the same error with your network manager, try the following command.

Open your terminal, type:
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start

Enter your password at the prompt, and press Enter. That's it. Your Network Manager will start running, and you will have your internet connection back.

This is not a permanent fix. You may required to do this every time you boot the system.

Yes... Even Microsoft use Linux

Sometime, you have no choice but to use the best to get the job done right. And the best seem to be Linux. Remember that is what Google use Microsoft Using Linux To Optimize Skype Traffic - Slashdot

Best Linux OS for the smartphones so far is the Android (a little rant)

What kind of a Linux users are we if we don't use Linux phones?

In case you guys forgot, Android is based on Linux. So, as far as we are concern, an Android phone is a Linux phone. And just like any other Linux Operating System out there, don't try to judge it until you know how to use it. Remember, it's a Linux, so there will always be more than what meet the eyes.

These new Google phones are awesome. But, come on! what's up with the high tag price?
No smartphone should cost more than $300. Imagine you take an 8 GB Ipod touch like hardware and add a cell phone ship in it. See? It would still cost way less than $300. And that is with all those fancy Gorilla glass, 720p camera, front facing camera, HD display, etc.
What about we just forget about the cell phone ship part? just add wifi hotspot everywhere customers want service. Even if it's a video call or a voip, 911 emergency dispatcher could still use the built in gps in the headset to triangulate your location, just like a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon). So, no problem there.

Sure, the BIG old school Telecommunication Companies would fight this idea. But, Google can take them.

Ubuntu: Hate it or Love it (just an update)

Ubuntu, hate it or love it? They do have excellent up to date repositories. Plus, it is the newbies favorite Linux Distro. We are thinking of giving Ubuntu Linux Desktop a second chance.
We are messing around with the system codes and settings. Trying to see what we can mod to our liking. On a side note I must point out, all the Debian based Linux systems are pretty much the same. The main differences are the repositories, which default Desktop Environment they are using, and which applications they have installed, that's it. The setting will be limited to what programs you have installed.

We personally think Ubuntu Linux Desktop is the Linux distro of choice if you don't have free time to be messing around with Linux system settings. In our case, we don't have much free time, and yet we are still messing around with the system setting. Why?!

I'll let you come up with an answer for that.
