No points for calling this one, but it looks like Android 4.0 is well on its way to the Nook Tablet — in a decidedly unofficial manner, of course.

This petite stick of USB-HDMI actually houses a ARM Corex A9 dual-core processor and is capable of running its own OS. But then, you knew that already , right? So what’s new?

We’ve heard the promises of bringing Ubuntu past its comfort zone and into the mobile space, but who wants to wait until 2014 when a home remedy can deliver precisely that right now. XDA-Developer member loglud has been grooming a way to bring the OS to your Barnes & Noble tablet, because — you know — we’re all longing for slates with desktop-scale operating systems on them. At the moment, you can get a quick glimpse of Ubuntu running on the Nook, but porting can only be done via a VNC Server, which opens up plenty of potential avenues for lag to mar the experience

We won’t be seeing the finished version of Ubuntu’s next release for a few months, but the folks at Canonical are hard at work making Precise Pangolin the very best it can be. Version 12.04 is an LTS release , meaning only refinements are in store for the OS, but apparently one of the areas targeted for improvement is power consumption

It was a great day when we could start our cold car remotely. A bit of trivia, the first remote car starter was produced by Canadian company here in Winnipeg called Kraus . Times have changed! In this hack Brandon Fiquett uses Siri in his Apple iPhone 4S to command his car to start using voice commands. Lots of the heavy lifting has been done by Viper in this case who has developed a method for the iPhone (and other smart phones) to interface with its smart remote .

Like many great things, Jesse Anderson’s latest project was inspired by a classic Simpsons line. Of course, the cartoon didn’t come up with the idea of a lot of monkeys sitting around, banging out some of the great works of Western literature.

Looks like Asus might be expanding its range of Linux-based netbooks for our delectation. In addition to the Meego and Ubuntu 10-inch models we’ve already seen, an Italian retailer is pushing a new 12-incher on pre-order that hasn’t yet crossed our path.

Sure, you can run Linux on robots and on desktops and, apparently, on small cats , and we’ve also seen it on plenty of tablets before, but this one is a little different. Max Lee over at Galaxy Tab Hacks created the video below to demonstrate a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Ubunbu, but doing it on top of Android such that the tablet’s native OS is running Linux in the background and then using a VM client to launch the UI
