    Frikada the year: the clutch to VIM

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”42″>Look

    geeks there are users in the world, but we just find one that really takes the cake. This is Aleksandr Levchuk, who has created the VIM Clutch (“VIM Clutch “), an invention as curious as geek.

    vim year Frikada 379x500 clutch: clutch for VIM

    well explained its creator on the official website of the project on GitHub, this pedal hardware is aimed at:

    “improve the speed of text editing for users of the great text editor VIM. When you hit the pedal, the pedal type character “i”, causing VIM into Insert mode. When it misses, type “Esc”, and return to normal mode editor. “

    pedals, which commissioned the online store Ankaka.com China, are programmable through a visual application in Windows, and once programmed, can be used both Windows and OS X or Linux . Apparently there was a problem, the pedal could be programmed to stop the event stepped-user but this resolved with a small change in it.

    The result works perfectly as this user, who is already thinking about expanding your setup a triple version that will use the left pedal to the “I” (insert at the beginning of the line ), the middle pedal to the “i” (insert mode normal) and the right pedal to the “A” (inserted at the end of the line).

    If that’s not geek, tell me what it is : P

    Ubuntu may be available for Android this year, but only for manufacturers

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”39″>

    Canonical developers a few months ago had an amazing idea: turn a smartphone last batch on our desktop PC using the Ubuntu software for Android, you can enjoy as much of Android Ubuntu according to need.

    Ubuntu Ubuntu for Android Android could be available this year, but only for manufacturers

    the Computex trade show being held in Taipei one of the heads of Canonical, John Barnard, said the development of this solution was ongoing, although neither he nor Mark Shuttleworth confirmed a specific date, indicating that Ubuntu for Android could “possibly” before the end of the year .

    course, as already mentioned in the initial announcement of this development, Canonical does not intend to “liberate” Ubuntu for Android so you can use any interested party: will be manufacturers who will the option to preinstall on their smartphones, so that at least in the first instance you want to harness the potential of this interesting concept will have to buy one of the terminals to come with that feature.

    not think it means a lot: in forums such as the famous XDA Developers often achieve what seemed complicated, so maybe with a little luck that wants to impose this limitation is seen surpassed Canonical in the interest of the user community and the ability of some cibergurús Android community.

    14 620x387 Sony laying off 10 000 workers by the end of the year

    Earlier this Kaz Hirai month became president and CEO of Sony Corporation, and apparently the executive measures to correct the course of the companies will be harder than expected. According to a report by Japanese newspaper Nikkei firm will lay off 10 000 workers by year’s end .

    If the information is true, the Asian company will eliminate 6 percent of its workforce worldwide. At the moment Sony declined to comment on the matter although the rumor began circulating that Sony’s top executives would hold a press conference on Thursday 12.

    The financial situation of the corporation Japan is far from good: in 2011 the economic losses amounted to 3,200 million dollars . The Nikkei report indicates that 5 000 workers were sacked by the restructuring of business LCD, while the rest of those affected belong to all groups of the company (development, production, administration, etc.) both locally and internationally.

    But that’s not all. Sony would also ask seven of its senior executives, including Howard Stringer, Chairman, that waive their salary bonuses . For now we will take the information with tweezers but when developments arise on the subject can provide more details.
