Pe 2 octombrie ne vom bucura de FIFA 10, pana atunci avem de respectat cerintele de sistem si sa-l invatam din tutorialele video. Oare va reusi sa se impuna in fata rivalului Pro Evolution Soccer 2010?

Puteti face precomanda la FIFA 10 sau puteti downloda versiunea Demo FIFA 10.

BumpTop este o aplicatie foarte interesanta si chiar utila.
La fel cum biroul dumneavoastra este aranjat intr-un anume fel, la fel puteti sa va aranjati si desktopul cu ajutorul aceste aplicatii.
O scurta prezentare foarte completa a acestui programel:

A fost lansat Skype 3.0 Beta pentru mobile. De ce merita mentionat? Pentru ca Skype face eforturi mari de a oferi un program bun la toate. Din acest motiv, odata cu acest beta ofera posibilitatea de a trimite SMS-uri, ceea ce este foarte util cand esti in afara tarii unde este scump roaming-ul. Plus transferul de fisiere. Poate nu pare cine stie ce dar sigur va creste in ochii utilizatorilor. Il puteti lua de aici

Multi dintre voi vor intreba, un nou driver? A, e Beta? Nu ma intereseaza!
Gresit, multi driveri beta merg chiar mai bine decat versiunea finala!
Partea interesanta la acest driver, GeForce 182.47 BETA, este suportul adus pentru OpenGL 3.1.

Ce aduce OpenGL 3.1:

OpenGL 3.1 introduces a broad range of significant new features including:
* Texture Buffer Objects – a new texture type that holds a one-dimensional array of texels of a specified format, enabling extremely large arrays to be accessed by a shader, vital for a wide variety of GPU compute applications;
* Signed Normalized Textures – new integer texture formats that represent a value in the range [-1.0,1.0];
* Uniform Buffer Objects – enables rapid swapping of blocks of uniforms for flexible pipeline control, rapid updating of uniform values and sharing of uniform values across program objects;
* More samplers – now at least 16 texture image units must be accessible to vertex shaders in addition to the 16 already guaranteed to be accessible to fragment shaders;
* Primitive Restart – to easily restart an executing primitive, useful for efficiently drawing a mesh with many triangle strips, for example;
* Instancing – the ability to draw objects multiple times by re-using vertex data to reduce duplicated data and number of API calls;
* CopyBuffer API – accelerated copies from one buffer object to another, useful for many applications including those that share buffers with OpenCL™ 1.0 for advanced visual computing applications.

Uite ca Nvidia din cand in cand se gandeste si la utilizatorii de Linux si FreeBSD si mai scoate cate un driver nou.

180.29 ofera suport integral pentru OpenGL 3.0 plus o alta lista intreaga
Improved OpenGL performance on workstations:

· Added an error checker of the layer data in VDPAU’s VdpVideoMixerRender function;
· The VDPAU setup handling on multiple GPUs was improved;
· The GPU video memory handling coordination, between VDPAU and Nvidia X driver was improved;
· The X driver was updated to support some GPUs that were not recognized;
· The nvidia-installer received the ability to run various post- and pre-installation hooks;
· The metamode parser of the X driver was updated to permit mode names with periods (i.e. ‘.’s);
· Added power management workaround and better compatibility with newer Linux 2.6 kernels.

Nvidia 180.29 display driver for Linux also fixes the following issues:

· Fixed a VDPAU crash caused by some invalid MPEG-2 streams in the 64-bit version of the drivers;
· Fixed a VDPAU issue which caused display corruption while decoding MPEG-2 video streams;
· Fixed an acceleration issue (Xid errors) in the X driver for all GeForce 6 and 7 graphics cards;
· Fixed a performance issue for integrated GPUs;
· Fixed a stability issue for OpenGL programs that used FSAA;
· Fixed AGP GPUs initialization issue, which caused them to be used in PCI compatibility mode;
· Fixed a stability issue when modifying the clock settings via the Coolbits interface;
· Fixed a hotkey switching issue on newer mobile GPUs;
· Fixed a VDPAU green screen issue;
· Fixed a VDPAU issue which caused it to crash after a restart of the X server, on various GPUs;
· Fixed a VDPAU crash when DisplayPort devices were used;
· Fixed a VDPAU hang issue when the blit-based presentation queue was used on multiple GPUs;
· Fixed another VDPAU hang issue using the overlay;
· Fixed a VDPAU issue which caused the overlay-based presentation queue to not be used on component video connected displays.

Un calculator fara antivirus este un calculator foarte vulnerabil, mai ales daca sunteti conectati la internet.
Desi AVG nu este foarte performant, AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0.233a1424, este mai mult decat ok pentru un minim de protectie. Este gratis si isi face update la baza de date oricand este nevoie (dar pentru update aveti nevoie de o legatura la internet).
