Finally

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.

IMG 0003 comes new version of iPhone 2 with longer battery life

While the new iPhone offers features renovated over its predecessor, there are still many users who prefer to stick to the second generation of the Apple tablet. Thinking of them signing the apple released a new model of iPhone 2 offering better energy efficiency.

This is the fourth variation of iPad 2 that the Cupertino brought to market , hence its name is iPad 2.4 . The main difference in this version is the inclusion of a new processor 32 nm , significantly smaller than the 45 nm previously used by Apple.

The new hardware increases battery life by 16 percent during web browsing and 18% while playing videos. But that’s not all as further optimizes performance by 30% while running games. With respect to software must mention the inclusion of IOS 5.1.

The problem with this release is that impossible to know which variant are buying iPad 2 . Since Apple uses the same package for all models of the tablet, the only way to know if we have an iPhone 2.4 (or one of its predecessors) is out of the box.

would be nice if Apple and resellers to help customers get the improved model of iPhone 2. A simple marketing campaign or an identification mark would be enough to save inconvenience or disappointments to those who purchase the $ 399 tablet.

We are not turning to the “problem” of kernel 2.6.38, it is there and inform developments as they arise as standard. In any case, despite technical advances in this regard, laptop batteries last less and less drawn by the growing power of graphics cards. The project Bumblebee could improve this situation.

 optimus nvidia Improves battery life in Ubuntu Bumblebee

The following information comes from Ubuntu Manual, where the project have apparently Bumblebee is just an implementation Open Source Optimus NVIDIA , responsible for “regulating” the graphical power of that the system needs in specific cases. For example, you do not have good art card running at full power to read your mail or surf the Internet, increasing considerably the expenditure of resources.

Optimus

NVIDIA obviously only for NVIDIA cards that have those features , which runs on Microsoft Windows systems by default but in GNU / Linux, hence the appearance on the scene Bumblebee still lacks all the features of the original. Currently only available to Ubuntu at least in easily created by the PPA for testing and distribution, but also packages are available with source code if anyone wants to try.

you know. Haggis use kernel 2.6.38 or not, Bumblebee can be an interesting tool to gain battery time, provided that you have an NVIDIA card technology, including Optimus, and for now, better try it in Ubuntu.
