The Soma Travel, meanwhile, operates without batteries or need son, working directly on the power of your Apple device to dock. XtremeMac claims that iPhone game 4 tied through the speakers will receive approximately 34 hours of audio playback on one charge.

He takes both audio and power from a single USB cable and audio outputs to ten watts. As the stand Soma, Tango Bar will take place around € 100. Check the video after the break Soma stand.

Intel and AMD can both Delay Next-Generation Processors

MojoKid writes AMD and Intel are both set to launch new CPU architectures between now and the end of the year, but rumors have surfaced suggesting that the two companies may delay their product launches, though for reasons different. Various unnamed PC makers have apparently reported that Intel could delay the introduction of its processor Ivy Bridge from the end of 2011 to the end Q1/early Q2 2012. Meanwhile, on the other side of the meadow of the CPU, there are rumors that AMD Bulldozer could slip again. Apparently AMD hasn ‘t officially confirmed that it shipped its next product Bulldozer server class for revenue in August. Possibly, but it seems unlikely. day of the scheduled launch CPU is close enough that the company should already know if it can launch the product.

Business Unit Global webOS split described in the documents released HP

It was just over two weeks since HP announced plans to cease production of its aircraft webOS, and speculation on the future of the platform is still strong. Just this week, Gee Sung Choi Samsung CEO put to rest rumors of an agreement webOS, and now two leaked letters from the inside show HP plans to divide the unit into two global business webOS. According to letters apparently Todd Bradley and Shane Robison, the software will webOS find a new home in the office of the costume of the Strategy and Technology, while the division’s equipment will remain with the Personal Systems Group. One of these letters from Tom Bradley said the split:

The charter of the pan-HP OS and T offers a broad overview of how we can optimize our technologies. In fact, it proved to be a successful technology incubator, is home to a team of senior technology exclusively devoted to the exploration of long-term strategies for our technologies.

The second letter, Shane Robison, adds that the software webOS is always a great asset. None of this should be a surprise, as our interview with Stephen DeWitt reiterated the commitment of society to the platform webOS, while HP recent announcements show the intentions Hocking PSG equipment to spin off its PC business. Now the question is, who the bones to get there? For the full-length leakage hit the source link below.

The iPhone’s role in weakening T-Mobile

GMGruman writes The federal government can block AT and T acquisition of T-Mobile, but T-Mobile is in a bad position to continue as it is. Decision of the parent company Deutsche Telekom not to invest in the spectrum of the United States a decade ago limited the ability of T-Mobile to grow, particularly through the now finally emerging 4G networks. But from a customer perspective, it was the iPhone that has threatened the company the most. Or, more precisely, its absence from the iPhone.

Pocketbook A10 hands on (video)

PocketBook , known for its e-reader, presented a 10 this week at IFA – is A for Android and 10 for 10-inch (well, 10.1 inches). The Android Gingerbread in this case, nothing particularly exciting on this front, in a world that has largely evolved in all its iterations Honeycomb, but at the very least, the company made some cool stuff on the front in a design world devices infringingly double. The body was inspired by an airplane wing in white plastic, which forms a corner at the back. The tablet a little on the stocky side, with a row of buttons located on the actual physical bottom of the bezel. On the back is a white plastic around a soft, rubbery back.

The tablet is a bit less exciting on the inside, with 4 GB of storage, a TI OMAP 3621 processor running at 1 GHz, WiFi and optional 3G. Not surprisingly, given the history of the company, the device is reading minds, with proprietary software built around the experience of e-book and the page buttons built in. The company seeks may also place the device for the education sector.

10 A should be hit Europe around October, with a price tag of less than € 300. The company is also planning the availability of the United States for the tablet, but does not offer much in the way of details on that front.

Attackers Kernel.org Did not know what they had

Trailrunner7 wrote The attack which compromised some servers of great value belonging to kernel.org – but not the Linux kernel source code – may have been the work of hackers who simply got lucky and did not realize the value of the servers they had got hold of. The attackers made a few mistakes that allowed administrators to kernel.org to discover the violation and stop before major damage occurred. First, they used a rootkit called phalanx known Linux admins who were able to detect. And second, the attackers set up backdoors on the compromised SSH servers, including the admins also found. If hackers were specifically targeting the kernel.org servers, the attack would probably have looked quite different. A little blog in the wake of the attack agreed with the initial announcement, while it was embarrassing, the integrity of the kernel source is not in question.

North American Eagle project pumps on WiFi, tackles land speed record

Most people would be content if their jet-powered vehicle has done nothing but break the record land speed, but not with the team behind the proposed North American Eagle. They left some equipment and also WiFi stuffed inside the nose of the car, which they hope to be able to transmit data to an experimental WiFi mesh network set up around the lake dried up while the vehicle is being to break the sound barrier. This has not yet, but the vehicle itself has already topped speeds of 400 miles per hour – only half of what the team hopes to achieve.

Ask Slashdot: Best Supporting Major For a mechanical engineer?

Intelligence Scarred writes After attending DigiPen Institute of Technology and deciding I liked the idea of ​​a program than the program itself (I still enjoy a little) after getting my AA in college Community, without direction, after much tinkering with engines grow after four years of service in the infantry U.S. Marine Corps, I finally decided what I want to do when I grow up: The reason is mechanical engineering simple: I think our cars are much better (in terms of. Engine / propulsion) than they are now better technology exists, and there’s more technology to develop for them that I took a keen interest for biodiesel and other clean, alternative methods of energy (fuel cells is one of my favorites -.. second is solar, the wind being past). I figure in Mechanical Engineering will give me a broad understanding of specific engineering disciplines. My uncle, also a mechanical engineer, suggested I get a second major in Computer Science from ME addition. It sounds like a good idea to me, I would mate with the mechanical control computer must effectively enough to take me 3-4 years to complete What about ME + CS Is a good option, or I work better with something else I ‘..? LL almost certainly have a minor in mathematics out of it.
