For the first time since Linux Mint 11, the development team was able to capitalize on upstream technology which works and fits its goals. After 6 months of incremental development, Linux Mint 14 features an impressive list of improvements, increased stability and a refined desktop experience. We’re very proud of MATE, Cinnamon, MDM and all the components used in this release, and we’re very excited to show you how they all fit together in Linux Mint 14.

Some new ways to get stuff done in Google Drive

In case you haven’t noticed them already, here are a handful of small updates that will make it easier to find, organize, and view stuff on Drive. Search by person : Can't remember the name of a file but know who shared it with you? Now Drive search auto-completes people’s names making it easier to find the stuff you’re looking for. View Google Earth map files : You can now open, preview, and interact with Google Earth files (.kml and .kmz) right inside Google Drive on the web. Create new folders while organizing files : Now when you select files in your Drive list, in addition to adding them to an existing folder, you can add them directly to a new folder. Drag and drop folders in Chrome : If you’re using  Chrome , you can drag and drop entire folders from your desktop to Drive on the web. Search includes your trash : Sometimes files you are looking for accidentally ended up in your trash, so now search results include files there too. Courtesy Josh Hudgins ,
