Windows 8 to support System on a Chip on ARM, x86 architectures There's been plenty of buzz about Microsoft showing off Windows 8 -- if that is, in fact, what the next version is eventually dubbed -- on an ARM device at CES 2011, and a press release from Redmond has made the news official. The upcoming Windows release will support System on a Chip architectures -- including those from ARM, Intel

Google shows off Android 3.0, the 'Entirely for Tablet' Honeycomb (video) Well, look who just oozed into being, Google's latest flavor of Android, the tablet-friendly 3.0, Honeycomb.

We've been so wrapped up in Kinect hacks lately that we actually missed a Kinect non-hack that emerged last week. PrimeSense, who built the initial Project Natal reference hardware for Microsoft, has released its own open source drivers for the Kinect. PrimeSense is working with Willow Garage (best known for its open source ROS robot operating system), and Side-Kick (a motion gaming startup)

We've had plenty of pre-knowledge on this, but surprisingly this is our first actual glimpse of Google's new unbranded 'Cr-48,' the very first Chrome OS laptop. Google will distribute the laptop through its Chrome OS Pilot Program, in a sort of public beta. You actually have to apply to join the program, and there are going to be a limited number of the laptops available -- retail Chrome OS

I am writing a small article describing a kind of vulnerability that can be used against Linux Kernel.This is due gcc and its optimization procedures, in some cases, make some source code buggy.Furthermore, in this case, if SELinux is enabled, the system becomes weaker.The vulnerability is described here (by Brad Spengler) and it can be exploited in Linux Kernel 2.6.30+/RHEL5 2.6.18 in /dev/net/

Firefox 3.5.1 represents a step towards a faster browser.Several benchmarks show Safari 4, Opera 10 and Chrome as the fastest browsers on the market - I heard "Webkit rules" - and they only seem to lack in the plug-ins feature.I'm not taking into account IE X.x because... I think it already exists only because is bundled into the most common OS in the world. And there's no reason to use it.Anyway

That's the "Computer Graphics" course project.It has been my first time using Blender. It is a great editing tool, but it has a weird user interface (I'm not talking about Graphical UI).Mainly, you must become a "Shortcut God". After that, following tutorials and some experience, you'll get some results.Enjoy!

Google Mail: BETA!Google Maps: BETA!Google x | x is a Google project name.Android was released as 1.0 version. No "BETA" word applied to it. But with the latest repository merge, they're loosing control of the huge number of sub-projects and modules of the project.They are publishing code stubs, fulfilled with comments (not very useful in most cases), without any implementation example.I hope

Thanks to my thesis supervisor, I received a proposal for a project involving Linux kernels, ARM SoCs (and maybe x86 systems) and Android Framework.I accepted immediately, cause of this is another chance for working on something real.Obviously, this time I'll work at a lower level.
