Refreshment of THE ANGRY BIRDS is a best seller in Finland
The CMO of Rovio, Peter Vesterbacka said during a conference in Finland that soda Angry Birds is the best selling in the same country, even more units are selling Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The company has seen great success of the product and therefore are thinking bring refreshment to other countries, where New Zealand and Australia top the list of expansion.
The truth is that I find it strange that a drink of Angry Birds, but it is the best selling and sales surpasses other refreshments is because surely tastes good - or good marketing. A journalist who attended the event said it tastes like one of Coca-Cola called Lilt (another soda I do not know) and an apple flavor.
Samsung Q4 send in more than 60 million phones
Just a couple of weeks ago it was known that Samsung continues to be the company that sells phones around the world when it has published a new positive information to the Korean company. The companies UBS analysis has indicated that the number of phones that the manufacturer sent to stores in Q4 2012 (October, November and December) will be over 60 million units ... a new record.Samsung could present an 8-core SoC in February
The evolution of SoC is a key in advancing the capabilities of mobility-oriented devices, both phones and tablets. And, currently, there are three great masters of the market: Qualcomm, with its Snapdragon, Nvidia with Tegra, and Samsung, with its Exynos. The latter company could make a shocking announcement in February: a model with no less than 8 cores inside.The architecture used is the ARM big.little and, according EETimes, this component included in a same chip fabrication technology SoC 28 nm with corresponding two cores. That is, on the one hand would be a quad-core ARMv7 type and another ARMv15 ... a "two in one".
HTC denies paying $ 6 to $ 8 per device to Apple
It is not uncommon to see Apple signing a deal with a rival company to lay the foundations of a patent truce of ten years. Apple is a potentially destructive, is the Death Star in the galaxy of mobile telephony. And while it is true that Darth Vader is gone, the Empire does not seem to have changed much with the new bosses. This led us to think that there was something more behind all plot eta patent and legal battles. Peter Chou, HTC has confirmed that pay between 6 and 8 per device sold, and now that's important.Half of U.S. children want an iPad
Anyone who owns an iPad and it has paid or given to a boy between 6 and 12 years will know the hypnotic effect the device has on the child. But this effect also seems to be characteristic of those who do not have an Apple tablet. 48% of American children in this age group said that if I were to buy an item of technology in the next six would choose the iPad, according to a Nielsen study.Who Raised 500 Million Dollars in 24 Hours "Call of Duty: Black Ops II"
Sales of the video game series have achieved more than the box office of Harry Potter and Star Wars
Avatar grossed over 232 million dollars in its opening weekend, the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, over 170 million, and the last film in the James Bond saga, Skyfall, exceeded 90 million dollars. A pittance for the games industry. The company Activision has announced that for the fourth consecutive year, the Call of Duty franchise has become the launch of the entertainment industry's most important story. The new installment, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, reaching an estimated worldwide sales of 500 million dollars (393 million euros) in the first 24 hours of their release.
"To date, total sales achieved by the games Call of Duty series have surpassed the box office worldwide revenue of Harry Potter and Star Wars, the two most successful film franchises of all time," said Bobby Kotick, chief CEO of Activision.The last chapter of the series went on sale on Tuesday and 13, and thousands of supporters gathered in the evening more than 16,000 openings in stores around the world. "Call of Duty has become more than just a product. Every November there is more than just launching a game, is started a phenomenon, "said Eric Hirshberg, Activision another executive.
Black Ops II develops two lines of argument, one of them in 2025. China and the United States are engaged in a cold war, because China forbids the export of natural resources after receiving a cyberattack that cripples its stock exchange. Players take on the skin, and especially the weapons-Alex Mason and his son David, protagonists of the story.
One of the reasons for the success of the game is that it is cross platform. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is available for Microsoft's Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC, and will soon also to the new Nintendo home console, Wii U. The title has a PEGI-European system for classifying the content of video games, 18 +, which means it contains violence, profanity, sex, drugs, discrimination and betting.
The last Call of Duty share physical space and virtual stores with Wonderbook, the incursion of writer J. K. Rowling in the world of video games (out for PlayStation 3), which can learn 20 spells magic school of Hogwarts.
SC12: HPC cluster with Nvidia mobile graphics and ARM SoCs
As part of the EU project, the company Montblanc Seco developed with Nvidia components for supercomputers with ARM SoCs. The Italian company E4 Computer Engineering now links eight to 24 blades with Qseven modules with Tegra 3 processors and GPGPU accelerators type Quadro 1000M at comparatively economical HPC clusters. After Nvidia Project "Carma" - CUDA for ARM - called the E4 systems Carma Carma microcluster or cluster.
The microcluster with eight blades, each one ARM SoC and GPU module carries, comes from a 520-watt power supply. E4 is the maximum computing power of 2.16 teraflops of single-precision floating-point calculations in (single precision). This corresponds to the performance of the eight Quadro 1000M graphics chips, each of which reach 96 CUDA cores of 270 Gflops. The CUDA 2.1 cores process only FP32 values, and no dual-precision numbers.
Nvidia sells a single of these blades as Carma devkit via Seco for around 630 euros and developer. E4 grabs again in Carma cluster together up to 12 nodes, equipped with Carma2 boards each node will have two Quadro 1000M, total come together to 6.48 teraflops SP computing power. E4 is setting up a 1.5-kW power supply. Carma the cluster can also be purchased exclusively with Tegra 3 processors, then a total of 48 of these SoCs stuck with four Cortex-A9 cores in it to 192 ARM cores. Sure enough, a 400-watt power supply. Are optional except for the Qseven board QuadMo747-X/T30
Tegra T30 with others available.
Where supported by the EU with around 8 million Euro project Montblanc as well as work with the Research Centre Jülich and the Leibniz Rechenzentrum Garching. The aim is efficient exascale supercomputers; 2017, a system with 200 PFlops stand on the Top500 list. For the first HPC prototypes Montblanc has now the ARM SoC Samsung Exynos selected 5 with two Cortex-A15 as it is at the SC12 conference was announced.
Nvidia is working under the Project Denver to SoCs with proprietary ARM cores, but also has a license for the Cortex-A15. This could come in the Tegra version Wayne used. The internally developed ARM cores could be either 64-bit versions, as well as AMD, STMicroelectronics, Calxeda, Applied Micro and others are planning - but in part based on the ARM Cortex-A57 designs and A53.
Google Chrome for OS X sandbox
The Apple operating system was the latest desktop platform, the Chrome did not have a sandbox for Flash Player. In the Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS versions of the browser, Google had incorporated this technique some time ago.
The Chrome developer Scott Hess reported that Google has been working since 2010 in collaboration with Adobe on the protection of Flash Player for Chrome. The sandbox is a very secured area to protect the operating system from the exploitation of security holes.
