Windows XP ist nicht totzukriegen
Genau in zwei Jahren, am 8. April 2014 stellt Microsoft den Support für sein altgedientes Betriebssystem Windows XP endgültig ein. Dass dieses Datum einige Unternehmen und Privatpersonen auf dem falschen Fuß erwischen wird, zeigen aktuelle Statistiken. Zahlen von Net Applications zufolge läuft auf fast jedem zweiten PC weiterhin XP.
Wie aus den Microsoft-Support-Seiten zu entnehmen ist, endet jegliches Support für Windows XP genau in zwei Jahren, am 08.04.2014. Vor mehr als zehn Jahren im Jahr 2001 eingeführt, ist das Betriebssystem mit 46,8 Prozent Marktanteil weltweit immer noch die Nummer eins unter den Betriebssystemen. Ungeachtet des Erfolgs von Windows 7 – in Deutschland etwa soll das neue Betriebssystem bereits Anfang des Jahres seinen Vorgänger an der Spitze abgelöst haben – ist XP weiterhin verblüffend stark vertreten.

8-bit PC can run Ubuntu… takes about 6 hours to boot
Dmitry Grinberg decided to see if he could build a simple Linux computer around an 8-bit microcontroller. Just to be clear — this is not what the ATmega1284P microcrontoller was designed for.
It has just 128KB of storage and 16KB of RAM. It runs at up to 20 MHz, and is designed for embedded applications such as remote controls, appliances, or power tools… not computers.

Raspberry Pi Linux distro released, but the $35 computer faces new delays
The wrong jacks have been soldered to the Raspberry Pi boards and will have to be removed and replaced before the product can ship to end users. According to the foundation, the ethernet jacks are relatively easy to replace. The problem is that sourcing a sufficient quantity of the right ethernet jacks might take some time. This will be the second time that the Raspberry Pi project has suffered a minor delay due to component sourcing difficulties.

Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Ready For Download
The Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix is ready for download! The recommended distro to run on the Raspberry Pi is a Remix of the Fedora open source software. The Remix is a distribution comprised of software packages from the Fedora ARM project, plus a small number of additional packages that are modified from the Fedora versions or which cannot be included in Fedora due to licensing issues – in particular, the libraries for accessing the VideoCore GPU on the Raspberry Pi.

Zemlin praises $25 Linux computer: a Windows license costs more than four Raspberry Pis
In a blog post written this morning, Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin praised the Raspberry Pi foundation's $35 Linux computer, which met tremendous demand when it launched this week. In his blog post, Zemlin discussed the important role that the Linux platform plays in enabling innovation around low-cost computing.
The Raspberry Pi foundation launched with the aim of building an inexpensive system that could be used to teach computer programming to young students. They developed a pair of bare ARM boards priced at $25 and $35 that include a 700Mhz ARM11 CPU and a 256MB of RAM. The devices are roughly the same size as a deck of playing cards.

Raspberry Pi - An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!
While the developers behind the project are hoping to see Raspberry Pi systems used in educational settings or other environments where low price and power consumption could be killer features. But the applications for this device aren’t limited to education. This weekend the group is showing off a Raspberry Pi system running XBMC, a powerful media center application.

X.org-Server entsperrt Rechner für jeden
Der X-Server von X.org enthält ab der Version 1.11, die im September letzten Jahres erschienen ist, eine pikante Schwachstelle, durch die man sich Zugriff auf einen gesperrten Rechner verschaffen kann, wie der französische Blogger Gu1 entdeckt hat. Drückt man die Tasten Strg, Alt und die Multiplikationstaste des Ziffernblocks gleichzeitig, wird der eingestellte Bildschirmschoner beendet und der Rechner entsperrt; wir konnten das Problem auf Fedora 16 nachvollziehen, bei dem die von Fedora zwischenzeitlich herausgegebene Korrektur noch nicht eingespielt war.

Stephen Hawking's New PC
How did you come to be the guy who helps Stephen Hawking? Another engineer who was already working on this project transitioned it over to me back in 2001, and I've been running with it ever since. It's not my full-time job. I'm an application engineer supporting mobile and desktop chipsets.
What technology does Stephen use? The computer is made up of three parts: a Lenovo X220 tablet PC, a custom black box containing various peripherals and the hardware voice itself. The computer features an Intel Core i7 processor along with a forward-facing webcam, which Stephen uses to place phone calls using Skype.
