Startup Windows 8 in 8 seconds

Microsoft recently published as a blog dedicated to the development of Windows 8, a new video to show the startup speed of it.

Since the power button is pressed, the system boots up in just 8 seconds. In fact, most of the time is consumed during the start of the BIOS, the system is being born in just under 5 seconds

Microsoft intends to use, this new version, several techniques which use, in its full potential, the multiple cores of the CPU's current techniques and hibernate the system.

The company also notes that these improvements will be felt by both users with conventional hard drives, as the users of SSD.

You can view the video released by the company below:

New 802.22 Wi-Fi standard has a range of 62 miles

Tired of your Wi-Fi cutting out every time you take your laptop into the bathroom with you? IEEE (also known as the Institute of electronics geeks) has just released a new, official standard for 802.22 Wi-Fi, and this bad boy can cover 12,000 square miles with just one single base station.

You should already be familiar with 802.11 a/b/g/n, which is likely the wireless standard that you currently use to connect to the Internet. 802.11 is doing perfectly fine, and there's no need to worry that this new standard is going to immediately render your router useless. 802.22, besides being a solid 0.11 more awesome (for whatever that's worth) is designed to take advantage of all that new broadcast spectrum that opened up when we put the smackdown on analog TVs a couple years ago.

The spectrum that 802.22 will operate in ranges from 54MHz to 698MHz, and the reason that TVs were already in that niche was because these frequencies are great for long distance transmissions. This means that the new Wi-Fi standard will be able to broacast data at up to 22 Mbps out to a whopping 62 miles from just one single base station, making it easy to provide rural broadband or to blanket cities with municipal Wi-Fi.

Now that the official standard has been approved, companies can go start building things that incorporate 802.22 technology, so it's really just a matter of time before none of us are without Wi-Fi access ever again. Phew.

Fedora 15– Preupgrade or new Instalation ?

Hi all, we back with some tricks, so , our question is simple : Fedora 15– Preupgrade or new Installation ?

So we have a laptop 1001px with 2 GB ddr2 + 500 GB SATA, and installed Fedora 14 ( more 1 month )

install some packages, vlc, dropbox, openoffice, and others.

Yesterday we decided to Preupgrade to Fedora 15 ( Process during +/- 30m to 1h ) , installed successful.

When we launch the “Shell” and write “Yum Upgrade” we receive the error :

 

$ update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error404 – Not Found : http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.
http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error404 – Not Found : http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: Dropbox. Please verify its path and try again

crap , we decided to return fedora 14, we think the problem is Preupgrade + Dropbox ( we understand this )

*****

but we find the solution :

After installing dropbox from the RPM package availble on the site on a new Fedora 15 install, I was unable to use yum without coming across this error:

$ update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error404 – Not Found : http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.
http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error404 – Not Found : http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/15/repodata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: Dropbox. Please verify its path and try again

For some unknown reason dropbox repos dont seem to work past 13 so you’ll need to change the dropbox.repo file from detecting the current release to 13 like so:

Open the dropbox.repo file:

sudo gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo

Change the baseurl from $relesever to 13 like so:

Original:

[Dropbox]
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc

New:

[Dropbox]
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/13/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc

Save and close and everything should be working, try using sudo yum update to check and the error should have gone away. If not give a reboot a try.

What if you could choose the operating system from your phone?

The Fujitsu is launching a mobile phone with dual boot that allows a choice between two Symbian, Nokia, and Windows 7, Microsoft. Not only is the novelty of the possible options, I would add that the Windows version is not applied to commonly used in mobile phones, but Windows Home Premium (32-bit).
Information on the LOOX F-07C (Model name) is advanced by Engadget , citing preliminary specifications sheet of Japan's NTT DoCoMo operator who, it indicates theblog, is preparing to market the phone in June or July others, by the modest sum of 70,000 yen (about 600 euros).
Note that the F-07C LOOX will bring the full version of Office, with a license for two years.
Among other arguments - some of them visible in pictures taken by Japanese publication 's ASCII - Fujitsu presents the model of a sliding QWERTY keyboard, LCD screen, four inches (1.024x600) and Intel Atom (1.2 GHz).

It also has a 5.1 megapixel camera with face detection in the back, along with a VGA camera installed in front and multiple connectivity options.

The memory is 1 GB and disk storage capacity is 32 GB, expandable via microSDHC.

In the important requirement of autonomy, know that the battery life is significantly reduced when using Windows. The phone promises 600 hours standby and 370 minutes of talk time on mobile phone mode, and only two hours if you want the terminal works with the Microsoft operating system.

Raspberry Pi – What is this ?

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409) which exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.

We plan to develop, manufacture and distribute an ultra-low-cost computer, for use in teaching computer programming to children. We expect this computer to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world.

Our first product is about the size of a USB key, and is designed to plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen for a low cost tablet. The expected price is $25 for a fully-configured system.

How would you use an ultra-low-cost computer? Do you have open-source educational software we can use? Contact us at info@raspberrypi.org.

Provisional specification:

• 700MHz ARM11
• 128MB of SDRAM
• OpenGL ES 2.0
• 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
• Composite and HDMI video output
• USB 2.0
• SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot
• General-purpose I/O
• Open software (Ubuntu, Iceweasel, KOffice, Python)

FreeNAS 8.0

The release of FreeNAS 8 includes major architectural optimizations, a django-driven user interface, and ZFS - lending us some useful features like thin provisioning, periodic snapshots, LDAP and Active Directory authorization along with the most popular platform sharing protocols.

FreeNAS 8 retains enterprise-class services while eliminating some "Home User" functionality such as iTunes/DAAP, Bit Torrent, and UPnP. These features will make it back as third-party plugins at a later date.

You may have noticed changes to FreeNAS.org :)

FreeNAS.org, Launched!

Hey folks, James (from iXsystems) here. We thought it would be nice to launch the brand-new FreeNAS site along with the release of FreeNAS 8. Don't panic! The Forums and Wiki will remain intact. FreeNAS.org is your nexus of information, insight, and news on all things NAS.
