The dream of every fan of the series "Dragon Ball" is able to confront the enemies on screen quickly, using the powers of the characters. Now, the player can fight other heroes of the franchise in the game "Dragon Ball Z Kinect", performing specific movements , which are identified by Kinect.

The game is scheduled to launch in the second half of this year.

At the beginning of the fight, you can choose how the attack. Most of the time, first-person view makes the player feel like a true hero. With a movement of punches in the air quickly, he can hit the opponent with small energy balls to stun him and then hit him from behind.


 

The gait is free, with users having to perform specific attacks or strokes. Nevertheless, in certain parts of the phases, you must use a series of letters available - within them, it performs movements to trigger major powers during the battle, as the Kamehameha, power known to fans of the series.
During the battle, when prompted, the player can make the same motion seen in the drawing and the manga powers to trigger even stronger - it takes a few seconds to be in position so that the blow is executed.

More than 61,000 people ask for the resignation of Andrea online Fabra

 

In just 18 hours (At 1420 hours on Friday, July 13), more than 61,000 people have signed a petition on Change.org initiated by a citizen who asks the People's Party lawmaker to resign Andrea Fabra.
Fabra has been put in the spotlight of the public and politicians after shouting at the Congress of Deputies "Fuck that" while the Prime Minister announced cuts in unemployment benefit.
According to the petition initiated by Rocío Barragán, Andrea Fabra "is not worthy of his position" and therefore calls for his resignation. Every time someone signs the petition, send an email with the text of the letter to Andrea Fabra.
The petition is experiencing tremendous growth, adding more than 3,400 signatures per hour. The hashtag "# quesejodan" referring to the findings of Fabra, has been Trending Topic on Twitter.
Deputy Secretary of Organization and Elections PP, Carlos Floriano, has said that his controversial words Fabra answered "insulting gestures Socialist Group"
Floriano has accused the PSOE of launching an "insidious and manipulative campaign" against the deputy of the Popular Party for the fact that the secretary general of the PSOE, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, "lost" the debate in Congress about the new settings .

The shirt of the future may charge the 'tablet' or 'smartphone'

 

Researchers at the University of South Carolina have invented a shirt that can store energy and charge mobile devices. This technology is still under experimentation that could design the clothes of the future, because we are increasingly dependent on electricity in motion.
The project began when researchers at the University of South Carolina and Lihong Bao Xiaodong Li tried to find out what happened to the cellulose fibers of the clothes if they are loaded with energy, according to the journal of Chemical Technology in Advanced Materials Journal the number 24.
They developed their experiment by immersing the garment in a fluoride solution and dried. Subsequently, heated to high temperatures, eliminating the oxygen and succeeded in converting cellulose activated carbon particles, making act as an electric double layer capacitor. The garment was so conductive as any device of electric charge.
Subsequently, Bao and Li nanometer applied a manganese oxide to improve the conductive capacity of the fabric. "This created a very stable supercapacitor," says Li.
Once you create a super-conductive shirt with a condenser, the researchers developed a test phase loading and unloading the shirt with electricity. They claim the results are "excellent", with a loss of performance after several rounds of 5 percent.
"Lumping these supercapacitors, we should be able to carry electrical devices such as mobile phones," he assured Professor Li.
The applications of this technology would be used to charge mobile devices, but still unknown how they could insert chargers and adapters on the shirt without losing its shape. Also, Bao and Li have not provided details on the likely effects on health, if any, or at least in the aesthetic design of our clothes.
The main advantage is in the same medium as Li stressed: "we have shirts every day, and could have more uses." Convert all items that user has smartphone in a walking boot certainly very attractive and it is possible to imagine a rapid spread of the invention.
The researchers say that would improve performance by increasing the conductivity of the material with carbon nanotubes (CNT), but considerably increase the price and they are contaminants. For now, boast to say they have managed to create a cheap and green driver.

ZTE is preparing a smartphone that will be the "most advanced" video game

 

The Chinese company ZTE has announced it is preparing to launch one of the "smartphones for more advanced video games." ZTE has unveiled more details on the terminal, except to be presented in six days. It could be a terminal that has buttons as standard with the Xperia Play or accessories such as 'tablet' WikiPad.
It appears increasingly clear that the future of the gaming world goes through mobile devices. In recent months, with terminals like the iPad, iPhone or the Samsung Galaxy S III has been found that the power of such models is more than enough to run games of outstanding quality. These devices have received, for example, versions of titles such as GTA III or powerful Broken Sword, in a display of power.
The marriage of mobile games and still goes beyond the fact launch titles have been adapted and movements that confirm that these are two sectors condemned to understand. Among these movements, a recent agreement with Gaikai Samsung is one of the evidence that video games and mobile devices can join in the very near future in ways that only a few years ago were unthinkable. Likewise, Sony PlayStation certification is facilitating new manufacturers, another test of the future of both sectors.
The manufacturers are no strangers to this market trend and terminals have been launched specifically designed to provide enhanced gaming experience for users interested. The most popular is the Xperia Play, a terminal pad and buttons in the style of game consoles. WikiPad, meanwhile, is a 'tablet' which has an accessory that provides and integrates physical buttons Gaikai to play in the cloud.
Now, ZTE seems interested in presenting a terminal that is also focused directly on the public more "gamer". The company has used its Twitter account to announce but has taken great care to give specifics. Specifically, ZTE has written: "The countdown has begun. There remain six days so that you can have one of the smartphones for more advanced games."
With this simple message, the company has confirmed it is preparing a smartphone aimed at this audience. At the moment it is not known whether the terminal will have some control specifically designed as the Xperia Play or ZTE's words have to do with access to some service games. All that is known is that in six days the company will clear the doubts.
Creating a video game device ZTE could be interesting because of its strong presence in the Asian market, in which a device like this could be a success. ZTE as Huawei is gaining significant market and a terminal of this type could help confirm his departure.

"Domestic companies are not now benefit from the boost that could give them both the capital of Barcelona as the successive editions of the World Congress of reference for the sector," he said.
MOBILE: BETTER FUTURE
For 36% of these engineers, industries engaged in the development of products and applications for mobile devices will be the ICT sector will have a positive progression in the next two years.
In addition to the mobile sector, technical engineers and experts say telecommunication electronic commerce (21%) and cloud computing businesses (17%) as the other two sectors that also have good prospects.
In addition to the world of mobile phones, smartphones and tablets, technical engineers and experts say telecommunications e-commerce has been chosen as the second sector mark a significant growth in the next biennium.
