Retromóviles
Today, I found on Engadget Mobile this post. Funny how a French company continues to sell these terminals appeared to be dead. And more interesting is to see how they work better than some superterminales art. Some mobile
we fell to the ground and there were zillion times, functioning as the first day. Its functions are just and necessary: \u200b\u200bcall and send sms, come on, what it is for a mobile. Something that has now taken a back seat when buying a terminal.
Today is the most common to wear a stylish pair Aifón TM, terminal Android, WP7 or any smartphone with a host of features.
Even with everything, I think this retro fashion, as is happening in fashion or computer games, will emerge with the phones. The companies we end up selling these phones to be extortionate prices for fashion with the excuse that they are painted in colors (like the classic Casio painted, very nice and discreet, in fact) or who knows what.
Or maybe not.

Diaspora, the free network
Today we speak of Diaspora, an Open Source network being created by four students from the University of New York. A very interesting project that managed to raise a whopping $ 200,000 in its infancy.
Diaspora Project created in response to Facebook or other social networks where we are not masters of our privacy. It's something that alert and we know, but, however Facebook is one of the major social networks in the world who use people and businesses to promote themselves. Normal if it is concentrated the majority of users. A similar case to what happened in the 80's with Richard Stallman : sought to create a completely free operating system to the situation of those times where all operating systems were proprietary. In this case, applied to social networks. Already
free social networks, a famous example is Identi.ca (microblogging), except that it is free all the content that is published, unless they are paying users, who can choose the license notifications.
Diaspora is a decentralized network consisting "seeds" or "pods" controlled by the user, which installs on your machine or server hired, and only you can access it and who share it. works without intermediaries, so that our privacy be borne solely at our expense.
The project can monitor from the official web and from the Diaspora News blog * . By now closed the registration applications, but still you can try putting your email in case you drop any invitation. What is possible is to install a server with Diaspora on our team and begin testing. Here are the installation instructions.

ATI / AMD HD 6850 in Arch Linux: You may
Those of us This new graphical ATI / AMD and use Linux, unfortunately we still have to go about doing stories have working drivers. In the official web still no drivers for the 6800 series.
I was to install Ubuntu 10.10 , but I had default drivers were the generic, which would not have any acceleration of any kind. I saw that I had the option of installing the proprietary and I did, but ... My surprise came when it no longer starts when you restart X.
eventually return to my other favorite Linux distro: Arch Linux . I tried to free drivers and nothing. So I decided to look in ArchWiki , and had documentation to install the ATI Catalyst appeared to be consistent with this graph though not officially.
In my case, I have the distribution x86_64 architecture and I had to add the following repositories to beginning of the file / etc / pacman.conf :
saved and updated:
and install the drivers:
Once done, we generated our xorg.conf file (as root):
and copies it to the directory / etc/X11 :
With this we have our configuration file, now just edit the Device section the xorg.conf with the text editor you like best:
also works with the HD 6870, that if we can change the identifier for "ATI Radeon 6870" and go.
Now we see that when we started the X, we see a watermark that says "AMD Unsupported hardware" . This can be removed by running the following script:
If all went well, we will have our drivers and 3D acceleration Arch. The problem is that, in my case, KDE does not start with desktop effects enabled and must be done by hand. For now seems to be all right, I tested the game Nexuiz and works perfectly as possible.
Now we just expect them to take the proprietary drivers (and free) officially supported and avoid beating about stories, but for now this is what you get.
I hope you have been helpful.
