Elon Musk said that 12 or 15 years we will have colonies on Mars

 

Elon Musk, for those who do not know, is the cofounder of PayPal, SpaceX founder and Tesla Motors founder also, and some people consider it the real world Tony Stark. Leaving that aside, and going to what we want, Mr. Musk believes that in about 15 years will be possible to have colonies on Mars. Before the arrival of Curiosity to Mars in days past, it was estimated that these colonies would become a reality only in 30 years, but in a few days things have changed.
In their visions of Martian colonization, Musk hopes to send people to Mars in 15 years. And do not talk about scientists and astronauts, but people like you and me. Of course this requires a large sum of money estimated at $ 500,000, and it is likely that you, like me, do not be such an amount of money to invest in space travel.
Probably the first people (not astronauts) to set foot on Mars are sent by governments and corporations, or it could be some billionaire who wants to spend a couple of months in space as it reaches the red planet.

While it is easy to get confused with the phone with the same name, Note 10.1 is a pure tablet. However, the Korean giant said emphatically does not seek to replace the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Instead, the Note 10.1 will be sold along with the Tab 10.1, Samsung expanded offerings in the market for tablets.

Maingear announces portable Vube 15 with Ivy Bridge and Kepler

 

Choosing a laptop for games is a little harder thanks to new Maingear ofrecimeinto of Ivy Bridge chip and Kepler. With a base price of $ 1099, the setting "Good" should be able to run all modern games with the settings in mid-to high because it comes with a dual-core Core i5-3360M, GeForce GT 650M with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM, 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive that spins at 7200RPM.

 

Priced at $ 1299, version "Better" comes with a Core i7-3520M dual-core processors and 750GB hard drive. The setting "Best" of U.S. $ 1599 offers a quad-core i7-3720QM, GeForce GTX 660m, 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, and a Crucial SSD 128GB mSATA m4 with a 750GB hard drive. The last configuration, called "Ultimate," has a cost of U.S. $ 1999 but offers a i7-3820QM, 16GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM and 256GB SSD m4.

Unlike most Maingear systems, these configurations for Vybe 15 are not very flexible - at least when it comes to modify its main specifications. Unfortunately this can be limiting depending on who you play, you may need a 660m instead of a GT 650M or want a SSD instead of a traditional hard drive in the basic configuration - it is unclear whether mSATA units can be added to the configurations Basic.

All configurations come with a matte screen 1080p 15.6-inch, multitouch trackpad, full size keyboard, 1.3 MP webcam, DVD burner, and the typical I / O connectors: HDMI and VGA, headphone jacks and microphone, card reader, two USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Vybe 15 comes without bloatweare although there is a free copy of Just Cause 2 and $ 60 in gifts for Tribes Ascend.
