Today Monday, authorities and NASA researchers will give a press conference to announce the findings of Curiosity and give a general update on what the little robot on Mars has been doing in recent months. While rumors suggest otherwise, the conference will not talk about anything really extraordinary as it was believed at the time . Representatives from NASA's JPL rumors say that it has become a very important discovery on Mars early in the mission are not true.
According to several reports, Curiosity, or rather, one of his tools,
called SAM, would have detected signs of life in a soil sample from the
planet, but the JPL states that no evidence has been found of the
existence of Martian organisms yet. What do you think will be announced at noon today at the conference in San Francisco?
We have not
talked much about it in recent days, but since about last Thursday, the
Syrian Internet services were cut by the government, as well as flights,
although the latter has already resumed, but not so with the Internet.
In the absence of the Internet connection to communicate with the rest
of the globe, the Syrian rebels have chosen to start using the courier
world No. 1, the popular Skype. By using this software through a satellite connection, the rebels and can communicate with people outside and inside the country.
Also been reported in the last few hours that the Internet connection
is almost restored throughout the country, so that using this method
will not be necessary, but it is more than likely that will be used in
the future in a similar situation .
The 8GB model of smartphone Nexus 4, which is produced by Google and Samsung, is once again totally exhausted, while shipments of the 16GB model will begin in about six weeks as estimated.
This is the second time in which this terminal, which incidentally runs
the latest version of Android (4.2), is running since it was launched. For now the store no detailed Google Play will be available again when the 8GB model.
The Nexus 4 was launched early last November along with the Nexus Nexus 7 and 10 produced by Samsung.
All three devices had good sales in the beginning, but it seems that
only four managed to keep the Nexus, and the fact that is exhausted is a
clear proof of this.
When will we see the Nexus 4 in stock? Do not know yet, but the fact is that should not take long.
Does anyone around here already own a Nexus 4?
Last year, a young Chinese man sold a kidney to buy an iPad 2.
The 17-year-old was just over $ 3000 for the illegal operation, after
which used the money to buy an iPad 2 and iPhone 4, the two most popular
devices from Apple at the time. The boy fell ill shortly afterwards and the people involved in the case were taken to court. Finally, after many months of waiting, 7 of 9 people alleged to have been involved in the operation and negotiations with the boy were convicted and sent to prison.
Song Zhongyu, the lead surgeon, and He Wei, the agent agreed to the
operation, were sentenced to five and three years' imprisonment
respectively. What do you think about these cases in which people offer something of his body in exchange for a large sum of money to buy devices like smartphones and tablets?
BitTorrent, the company behind the technology that allows thousands of daily share all kinds of files for free over the Internet, has decided to take a new direction. The executive director of marketing, Matt Mason, has said that plans are "aligned with the entertainment industry and start distributing movies, music and books on legal form." It's clear that BitTorrent wants to prove he can become more than just a company that offers free downloads. For now, the two main software client of the firm, which are the namesake and known BitTorrent? Torrent, have a total of 160 mill0nes users worldwide.
BitTorrent says that about 40 million users are active on a daily
basis, which is much more than those with services like Netflix and Hulu
combined. Viewing things in this scenario, no wonder a company planning to become fully certified. "It's a constant change. People do not know that we are a company. They think that we are two teen in a basement in Sweden, "said Mason. What is troubling to many is obviously cutting free download service, which is why the company is so successful. Is this a bad move by BitTorrent?
If here is a fan of Linux, or preferably the Ubuntu distro, who is looking for a new laptop or notebook then we have good news , since Dell has started selling two new low-end models that run with said operating system . Teams are the Vostro 2420 and 2520. The only difference between them is that the former has a 14-inch screen while her sister has a 15.6-inch. The strangest part is that both cost the same: $ 300. Obviously for that price one must wait for hardware
very weak, and the truth is that it is, since the processor that carry
these two laptops Intel Celeron B820 is a dual-core 1.7GHz and the sad
thing is that we can not acquire with a more powerful one.
There is an identical version but with Windows 7 it costs $ 370, and if
in addition to this we add an Intel Core i3 will cost us $ 420. Using Dell Ubuntu
has given is actually a bit poor and gives the impression that the
company thinks who uses a computer these do not need a big machine,
which is true only in part.
Let's be honest: a computer cost $ 300 and with CPU Celeron is really
small thing, but this kind of systems aimed at an audience that's used
for simple tasks that do not require much resource consumption, but with
the release of Steam for Linux that is about to change.
The strained relationship of the company on the block with South Korea's Samsung could lead Apple to start using Intel processors in future versions of their devices known mobile : the iPad and iPhone.
No doubt it would be an interesting fact, but in turn would be a little
strange because Apple also plans to stop using Intel processors in
their Macs to start using ARM processors, or so the rumors suggest.
After the apple achieve take $ 1,000 million to Samsung after a trial
has been trying to cut its relations with the Asian company, so the
title of this article should not be surprised, especially after the
price of the processors Samsung Apple sells to rise by 20%.
All this is convincing that the apple should change providers, but for
now that will not happen and that future iOS devices will not be
released until many months. Do you think Apple should make this change?
