Greetings, Overclockers Online has posted a new review. A news post would be greatly appreciated. Title: Logitech MX5500 Revolution at Overclockers Online Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1702 Quote: Choosing a good keyboard and mouse is one of the most difficult choices I ever make and in so being I rarely switch my input devices. Using the MX5500 Revolution has made me quickly forget my old trusty mouse and keyboard. The keyboard is comfortable, responsive and customizable. The MX Revolution mouse is comfortable and precise and like the keyboard very customizable. The added bonus of Bluetooth wireless connectivity eliminates cables and has not showed flaky connectivity of Bluetooth units in the past. Thanks for the post.

Dear Editors, we just posted a new interview which might be interesting to your readers. A post in your news section would be appreciated. Title: Interview with Franck Delattre / CPU-Z Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Interviews/Franck_Delattre Brief: Today we have an interview with one of the key figures in the hardware scene. Franck's CPU-Z and ClockGen applications are legendary and part of every overclocker's toolbox. He explains how he made first contact with computers and what made him write CPU-Z. Also he talks about current projects and his future.

We are pleased to announce version 0.3.1 of Vala, a compiler for the GObject type system. Vala 0.3.1 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.3/ Changes since 0.2.0 * Enable non-null types by default. * Add --disable-non-null commandline option. * New handwritten parser. * Support virtual methods in interfaces. * Add `dynamic' type modifier for D-Bus client support. * Add experimental support for writing D-Bus services. * Don't require `new' operator for structs. * Warn when using deprecated syntax. * Add lib[censored]y bindings (Evan Nemerson) * Updates to the GLib and GTK+ bindings. * Many bug fixes. Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to applications and libraries written in C. valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source code. It's also planned to generate GIDL files when gobject- introspection is ready. The syntax of Vala is similar to C#, modified to better fit the GObject type system. Vala supports modern language features as the following: * Interfaces * Properties * Signals * Foreach * Lambda expressions * Type inference for local variables * Generics * Non-null types * Assisted memory management * Exception handling Vala is designed to allow access to existing C libraries, especially GObject-based libraries, without the need for runtime bindings. Each to be used library requires a Vala API file at compile-time, containing the class and method declarations in Vala syntax. Vala currently comes with bindings for current versions of GLib, GTK+, and many more. Using classes and methods written in Vala from an application written in C is not difficult. The Vala library only has to install the generated header files and C applications may then access the GObject-based API of the Vala library as usual. It should also be easily possible to write a bindings generator for access to Vala libraries from applications written in e.g. C# as the Vala parser is written as a library, so that all compile-time information is available when generating a binding.

At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your site's news section would be greatly appreciated. Title: SilverStone Kublai KL03 ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12245 Summary: "Last September we had our first encounter with the SilverStone Kublai series when reviewing the Kublai KL02. We found that the Kublai series, which is targeted at economically minded consumers, had inherited many traits from SilverStone's flagship Temjin series while costing much less. The build quality of the KL02 chassis was excellent for being a $150 case and it ended up receiving our approval. Following the success of the Kublai KL01 and KL02 cases, SilverStone has released the KL03 as another steel and aluminum chassis, but this time it comes with support for Extended ATX motherboards. In this review, we are looking at the SilverStone Kublai KL03 as we fill it up with dual AMD quad-core Barcelona processors and other high-end hardware."

The Western Digital 300GB VelociRaptor is the newest member of WD's 10,000 RPM SATA hard drive series for enthusiasts and gamers. The VelociRaptor still has the same DNA as the Raptor series, but it offers a whole new level of performance. WD also has something new called the IcePAK that helps keep the drive temperatures down and still allow this 2.5" HDA drive to mount in a standard case. Quote: "The Western Digital VelociRaptor was a blast to test since it's not every day something this new and innovative comes across the test bench. The Western Digital VelociRaptor is hands down the fastest single hard drive we have ever tested and it is hard to believe that the firmware is still being improved. It will be exciting to see how much more performance Western Digital will be able to get out of the VelociRaptor before it hits retail stores in May. As it stands right now having a burst speed of over 250 MB/s and a sustained read speed pushing over 100 MB/s is enough to put a smile on our face. Just imagine running RAID 0 with a pair of these!

Hi, I am pleased to announce Beagle 0.3.6. We fixed a major regression introduced in 0.3.4 in which Tomboy notes were not indexed. Other than that, this release comes with several new features, namely a GMail search-only backend, a 'locate' based backend to supplement FileSystem backend search results, updated Firefox extension for Firefox 3.0beta and a command line 'blocate' to work just like locate but with beagle indexes without beagled running. We also updated out image filters and dropped libexif dependency. THE SHORT OF IT --------------- To download the 0.3.6 release or learn more about Beagle, visit the Beagle web page: http://beagle-project.org WHAT IS BEAGLE? --------------- Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time. For example: * Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are re-indexed when they are modified, and are dropped from the index upon deletion. * E-mails are indexed upon arrival. * IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a time. * Web pages are indexed as you view them (with a browser extension). * Notes and address-book entries are indexed as they are created. Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats. For a complete listing, visit: http://beagle-project.org/Supported_Filetypes Beagle uses the Lucene indexing system from the Apache project and the prodigious Doug Cutting, ported to .NET by George Aroush. Beagle includes an optional GNOME-based graphical tool for searching its indexes. Also included is an experimental web based search interface. To learn more about Beagle, visit: http://beagle-project.org/About NOTABLE CHANGES between 0.3.5 and 0.3.6 -------------------------------------------- * Fix regression in 0.3.4 (content of Tomboy notes were not indexed). For bug-fix backports please merge r4656. * Fix the network-service backend. * Catch the galago dllnotfoundexception and prevent a crash (relevant for Debian libgalago1.0-cil package). * Update Firefox extension to Firefox 3.0. * Use an icon from the Tomboy project for displaying note tiles in beagle-search. Package this icon with beagle-search. * Update F-Spot files from latest F-Spot svn trunk. Update the JPEG filter to use the managed Tiff parser instead of libexif. Drop libexif dependency. * Display network search related options in beagle-settings. * Add a GMail and Google Apps email live search backend. See http://beagle-project.org/Live_GMail_Search for details. This does not index the emails itself but directly queries GMail. Apart from a limited functionality, this will also submit user queries to Google (note to people concerned with privacy). This backend can be packaged separately by bundling GoogleBackends.xml and GoogleBackends.dll. The backend is disabled by default. * Add option to store and retrieve GMail password from KDE Wallet. * Show query-domain selection menu in beagle-search. Replace "--network yes|no" with "--domain ..." options in beagle-query for full choice of query domains. * Add a 'locate' based backend to supplement the FileSystem backend. If enabled, results from 'locate' will also be returned except the ones which are already returned by the FileSystem backend. The FileSystem backend also has to be enabled for this backend to work. This is only meant to be used when FileSystem backend is still crawling or if results from the entire file system is desired; due to several limitation in locate itself and in this backend, this backend is disabled by default. * Add 'blocate' - a 'locate' like tool to query static indexes without running beagled. It is a wrapper to beagle-static-query and can be configured using blocate.conf (globally at /etc/beagle and locally at ~/.beagle/config). blocate and beagle-update-index form the beagle powered replacement for locate and updatedb. * Translations: - Japanese (Takeshi AIHANA) - Spanish (Jorge Gonzalez) - Brazilian Portuguese (Igor Soares) - Swedish (Daniel Nylander) Contributors to this release: Debajyoti Bera, Filia Tao, Nirbheek Chauhan Full set of changes: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle/tags/BEAGLE_0_3_6/beagle/ChangeLog?view=markup - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera ( -at -) http://dtecht.blogspot.com _______________________________________________
