Sony Playstation 2 ends its commercial life

Sony has suspended shipments of the venerable PlayStation 2 console in Japan and it was time. The good old PS2 has been on the market about 12 years and has earned his retirement the hard way.

Announcements:

However, Sony has not officially announced the retirement approval of the PS2, but it looks like his days are numbered, that is, they are likely to sell as long as supplies last. Sony could suspend the PS2 before officially launching the PlayStation 4 , with the PlayStation 3 taking place as the entry-level console.

early 2011 sales of PlayStation 2 reached 150 million units, becoming the best selling console of all time. We’re not sure if the PS4 will manage to repeat his success, as the market is changing and changing rapidly. Goodbye PS2, you have served us very well.

still does not include the option to browse offline maps , but is likely to be added in future updates. The client interface is very clean and it shows that the developers chose to simplify the way you present the results. The information is summarized at the bottom edge of the screen and see more detail above pressing.

The good thing is that Google did not take the fast track to launch its iOS devices maps. The Californian corporation could adapt the Web version of the service, but instead opted to create a native app from scratch. It was also released an SDK for developers to include Google maps in their apps for iOS.

Google Maps for iPhone is available in 29 languages to more than 40 countries. The app can be installed on an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad with iOS 5.1 or higher , but not optimized for the Apple tablet.

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”45″>

developers this distribution sponsored by Red Hat announced the availability of Fedora 18 Beta , the issue that after several delays seems to have finally come to fruition. The original roadmap has been amended six times with a total delay of about two months, but the important thing, as we say, is that the distribution appears when ready.

the release notes we find some notable developments in the beta, like the ability to use up to 256 colors in the terminal by the 8 traditional desktop and the GNOME we find 3.6 , although it is also possible to install MATE and other desktop environments like Sugar, which as you know is a child-oriented environment and educational environments that has been used in the One Laptop Per Child project.

distribution integrates synchronization application and online data storage ownCloud , the alternative to proprietary solutions like Dropbox or SugarSync. It has also replaced the venerable iptables by firewalld , while system administrators can also leverage the benefits of Samba 4 and the ability to bind to Active Directory in a Windows implementation from the zero if needed. In the field of servers is also important to emphasize the integration of Eucalyptus 3.1 , an Open Source platform that allows to develop cloud computing solutions and competing with other Open Source alternatives like OpenStack.

Another change affects Anaconda , the Fedora installer that just slowed the launch of the distribution by various problems encountered during the process of improvement. So far no solution has been integrated to install Fedora 18 on computers with Secure Boot, but it is expected that the final version has no problems with that.

You can get more details about the distribution in the aforementioned official notes, and can download Fedora 18 Beta 1 in the official download page of this project.
