OLPC laptop Debatkan Linux and Windows

Wacana One Laptop Per Children (OLPC) to change the use of open source operating system Linux operating system to Microsoft Windows XP in the XO laptop into the open debate. The debate increased sharply following a pullback Walter Bender, president of OLPC software and content that does not agree with the plan modification.

OLPC launched the XO laptops are initially using the Linux operating system as its default that will be given to a number of countries that are considered growth TI is still low.

OLPC chairman Nicholas Negroponte requested that the open source community not to blame each other changes in the OLPC, and switch to the Windows operating system. Developers respond with "cold" with the request that Negroponte says the chairman does not appreciate the development of a Sugar interface on Linux.

"Sugar is still far from perfect, and they began to consider the Windows operating system as a successor," said Negroponte cited ComputerWorld, Friday (25/4/2008).

OLPC is an institution that is central to Gossip discussions with Microsoft about the possible installation of the dual booting for XO laptop, Linux and Windows.

Intel Chip Only 32 Nm


San Francisco - In place Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel will plan to improve performance and energy efficiency in microprosesornya with only 32 nanometer size only.

Yahoo News Dilansir through PC World, Wednesday (19/9/2007), this plan will be implemented in 2009. Chip's future will have more than 1.9 billion so that it is able to improve transistor performance entertainment applications and the ability graph real-life.

Chip will be on the upgrade with the size of Intel processors with 45nm Penryn processors later in November. Even at the end of next year will also be out Nehalem processors and Silverthorne. Previous Intel processors have been using and measuring 65nm Penryn is the code name of the Intel chip is the smallest at this time, only the size of 45nm.

"Chip is able to give the performance per-watt and better system performance through the design of the system QuickPath Interconnect, which is included in memory controller and integrated network communication between system components. Penryn dual-core processor will operate at 25 watts of energy and will be integrated Montevina platform in the future, including technology that Wimax them, "said Intel President and CEO, Paul Otellini. In fact, more Otellini, at the end of this year it will introduce 15 new 45nm processor types and 20 types again later in the year 2008.

Intel is not the first vendor to introduce the smallest measuring 32nm processors. In May, IBM has issued a first 32nm processor berteknologi, in collaboration with Freescale Semiconductor, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Infineon and Samsung Electronic Technology.

Things you may be in serious nature at this time. Work that you are very busy. Friends who may make you upset. Financial problems, family problems. All make you feel depressed. Alone. Weak.

Why not if you're stuck in a situation. Does not mean you can not find a way out. Road is wide open for you. While this may be that you need to do is clear thinking. What is there at this time that you create is in the down position. There is still hope to climb to the top.

It takes more time and patience. How do you ready? Pull-in in the breath. Then write your feeling disappointed. After that, write what the motivation, and you want to achieve. Forget all the things that you consider the way you are. None at this time that the way you can.

You are free. As long as you still want to walk to the front. Lalui way that you may not mulus. Full of stones and thorn. Far in front of there you will find the flower that is very beautiful and very fresh water. You can be comfortable living there. However, try and be patient when passing through bushes that may injure you.

If the winter does not exist, may be the flowers that sprout will feel normal and no longer beautiful. If it does not have the problems of your life. The success and blessing that you will not achieve feels sweet.

AMD vs Intel: A resistance Processor


Can not be denied, the processor market last two with the more heat as the main bulwark of competition, namely that Intel has long dominated the market and AMD recently launched a product that many of the performance is quite threatening Intel domination.

No side in the Intel and AMD, and let you know as a consumer, the competition is hard for the two companies dominate the market of the season to the next season does not always make the product from the company to become a better product from another company, as well as vice versa.

Actually would be better if you have a third option, but unfortunately all the best technology from Transmeta still debating the validity of Intellectual Property Rights. The process is still only about saving energy that are considered more important at every performance comparisons from day to day.

As we know now, Intel dominates the processor market, both in terms of price, performance, and of course in terms of quality assurance. Of course this opinion arise regardless of AMD inside.

So far, AMD has been slow in handling the 'stiffness' in the development of technology, melesetnya the launch date may have resulted in death AMD steps in the face competitors, and any results that AMD has made $ 5 billion in debt to the ATI in the beginning of this year.

AMD 690G chipset is one of the famous example of success, and if Intel has taught us everything, all the street level chipset dominance in the PC market. AMD does not fall in the rotation wheel processor technology. Maybe a lot of late, but not dead. Currently, AMD has set up a strong processor that dijuluki 'K10', and an improvement from the processors' Barcelona '. Not many people know about the performance of AMD's desktop processors will come (K10 Phenom X2 and x4) at this time, but we must find out quickly whether 'Agena' and 'Kuma' will be able to make Intel losers.

When AMD products that many successful lately, so many friends who will follow jejaknya, while ensuring that the success of Intel Core 2 Duo processors will be the perfect design for a future chipset. As they say, "This is the chipset."

Processor Intel Core 2 Duo processor is a very efesien, the value of the TDP (Thermal Design Power) is only about half of which used series Pentium 4 / D, and in the real test shows that the computer systems that take the Intel Core 2 Duo indeed save many energy.

That is all good, this is not the Intel some point because of the speed difference, but because the Core 2 Duo is faster and the price is very competitive. Perhaps the value of a processor is not often we look so far. Need to remember is that although Intel's Extreme Edition is still valued very high, but still considered very reasonable for innovation CPU desktop. Compare that with the AMD processor with the price is relatively the same, Intel still remain on top of it.

So as discussed above, actually When does the right time for AMD or Intel? Intel still win this round. The idea that Intel still maneuver than AMD, but also the whole generation of processors that have a double. Performance Core 2 Duo is very satisfactory, that is why many merekomendasikannya.

But before closing this discussion, there's one thing to be remembered. Throughout the comparison is based on our loyalty to the brand and test performance alone, it will not have many options from the latest technology and best. The most important at this time is that if you use the computer now has been able to meet all your computing needs, then you do not need to choose between the more troublesome AMD and Intel.

Easy steps to get a home computer up and running

New home computers should come with the same warning label as many toys: Some assembly required.

A fresh-out-of-the-box Windows or Macintosh machine may be able to get you on the Web, play your MP3s and collect your photos, but it can perform those tasks better with a little extra setup. Here's what to do with a new computer running Windows Vista or Mac OS X Leopard, the current versions of each operating system.

Secure: On a Vista computer, Windows' built-in firewall defense will already be active, and you should be prompted to enable the preinstalled anti-virus software when you first boot up the PC. Do not ignore that step.

On a Mac, you'll have to turn on the firewall: Click the System Preferences shortcut at the bottom of the screen, click that preferences window's Security icon, then the Security pane's Firewall heading and finally click the checkbox next to "Set access for specific services and applications."

10.1-inch Acer Aspire One details leak

Acer had already confirmed that a larger version of their Aspire One netbook was coming in Q1 2009, and now we have more details and even an image. The 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One will be a larger evolution, rather than replacement, of the existing model, with the display running at the same 1024 x 600 resolution, but now have optional integrated 3G and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.

Acer have removed the second SD slot - the Storage Expansion slot, used to augment internal memory - and there’s only a single DIMM slot for RAM, with a maximum 2GB supported. Contrary to initial reports, both XP and Linux versions are expected, though it’s unclear what onboard capacity each will have.

Those concerned with ergonomics will be overjoyed to hear that the trackpad buttons have slipped down from either side to underneath, and there’s a new brushed metal finish around the keyboard. Three casing colors will apparently be available: red, white and black. We’re expecting the new 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One in February, pricing unconfirmed.
