Flock Browser….

Flock is the Internet browser targeted towards social butterflies. Flock is the Mozilla powered browser that specifically meets the needs of online social networkers by helping you keep informed when friends post or a favorite site is updated. It has a slick interface and plenty of features.

Flock is equipped to keep you up to date with your contacts from Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, Twitter, etc.

Flock is a great browser for online social networking, but falls a bit short compared to some of our higher ranked browsers in regards to features and utility.

Features Set:
-While Flock does include most of the standard features like tabbed browsing, an integrated search engine, and a spell checker, it doesn't have parental controls, a smart toolbar, or at a glance security.

-Flock has plenty of tools built in to help you if you want to share photos, news, or simply your life story. Plus you can easily drag and drop to share videos, text, or favorite links.

-Ease of Use:
Flock's slick interface is fairly intuitive and user-friendly. We had no problems navigating the Internet using Flock.

-Security:
The Flock Internet browser is secure, with pop-ups, viruses, and spyware being blocked. You can also clear your browsing history quickly.

-Speed & Compatibility:
Though a little slower to load, Flock does a good job of keeping your web movement quick and easy. We had no issues with compatibility.

-Help/Support:
Flock has provided several ways to get help if you need it. You can get support online, and through tutorials, FAQs, and user forums.

-Summary:
Flock is an ideal browser for keeping you up to date with your online social contacts, but for other browsing you may wish to use one of our higher ranked internet browsers. You might consider using Flock as a secondary browser to keep in touch with friends, with Firefox or Google Chrome as your main browser.

 

Fedora-13″Goddard”, simply amazing



Finally after so much delay stable  fedora 13 distro was released on may 26'2010.Every fedora fan was waiting eagerly for it and sure it doesn't dissapoint them.Out of the distros releases so far in 2010, Fedora 13's release notes and list of features. These new list of features make fedora unpralleled and simply unavoidable.The following list includes some highlights:

- Automatic printer driver installation: Pretty self explanatory. Enhanced support for printers in general. Automatic installation of drivers on demand when a given printer requires them to function correctly.

- Better webcam support: An effort was put in place to provide better support for webcams in general, specially focusing on dual mode models.

- Rebase to the latest KDE4.4.X SC.

- NetworkManager enhancements: GUI included, as well as enhanced support for several pieces of hardware and functionality.

- Enhanced support for both Raddeon and Nvidia video cards.

-Color management to calibrate monitors and scanners

- Parallel support for Python 2.x and 3.x.

-SSSD authentication for users.

-Zarafa Open Source edition, a new open-source groupware suite.

-System rollback for the Btrfs file system.

-Better System Tap probes.

-Support for the entire Java EE 6 spec in Netbeans 6.8.

-Automatic language pack installation.

MusiX – The multimedia OS


Its a  free operating system intended for music production, graphic design, audio and video edition and alll other tasks you like.The creator of this unix based distro claims to replace windows by giving free , redistributable and great working softwares.


This new release includes the Linux Kernel 2.6.21. The documentation was updated and many important applications were upgraded (among those: Ardour 2.0.0.2, Rosegarden 1.5.1 and the Musix's Control Panel). Some new programs were also installed (MScore, Nekobee and more). Many bugs were corrected and some new functionality are added.


The graphical artwork in the user interface and the functionality were improved: now it is really easy to change colour themes. KDE
and GNOME applications look almost identical
using the same colour palette and icon theme (crystalsvg). Now applications like The GIMP (GTK2) and Rosegarden (KDE) appear user-friendlier



Software featured in Musix 1.0 R2 includes: Ardour 0.99.3 & Ardour 2.0.0.2 (audio sequencer), Rosegarden 1.5.1 (audio/midi sequencer), Cinelerra (video edition), Bluefish (web design), The GIMP (image manipulation), Inkscape (vectorial graphic design), Blender3D (3D rendering and animation), Musix Control and more.

Progress toward terabit-Rate high density recording

Research is closing in on the next-generation of ultra-high-density magneto-optical storage devices that could store more than 6,000 Terabits (6 petabits) of data, more than 70 times the contents of the entire U.S. Library of Congress, on a single 5-inch disc.


Yet the vast storage amount is limited by the ability to write data quickly enough to the device. In the Journal of Applied Physics, researchers at Sun Yat-Sen University in China have demonstrated a way to record on ferromagnetic films using a laser-assisted ultrafast magnetization reversal dynamics.

The technique uses so-called time-resolved polar Kerr spectroscopy combined with an alternating magnetic field strong enough to re-initialize the magnetization state of gadolinium-iron-cobalt (GdFeCo) thin films. Tianshu Lai and colleagues showed that the magnetization reversal could occur in a sub-nanosecond time scale, which implies that next- generation magneto-optical storage devices can not only realize higher recording densities but also ultrafast data writing of up to a gigahertz. Such speed is at least thirty times faster than that of present hard disks in computers.

Laser-assisted magnetic recording was demonstrated on a sub-picosecond time scale under a saturated external magnetic field. "We found that the rate of magnetization reversal is proportional to the external magnetic field," says Lai, "and the genuine thermo-magnetic recording should happen within several tens to hundreds of picoseconds when we apply a smaller magnetic field than the coercivity of the recording films."
