The sides of the phablet feature the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">power on/off button and the volume buttons, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">while there is and micro-usb port at the bottom</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and the commonly used 3.5 mm headphone jack on the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">top. The S Pen stylus is present at the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">back of the device beside the speaker grill. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Samsung's Nature UX from the S3</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and Jelly Bean make a perfect couple as </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">the experience is just as good as stock </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jelly Bean. The gallery has been upgraded </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and you can now view your photos in </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">  many different ways, the coolest of them</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">is the 3D spiralling view. The S Pen works </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">based on Wacom’s inductive technology </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and it has  also became  a lot more sensitive to </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">finer inputs now. Another reason why the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">phone doesn't lag is its powerul mighty</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">quadcore Exynos SoC on </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">board. Though it is the same variant present on the S3, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">just the difference is that it runs at 1.6 GHz instead of </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1.4 GHz in the S3. This gives it the extra oomph </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">needed for the split-screen functionality </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">without even skipping a beat. The </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wolfson audio chip present on board ensures best</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> audio quality through the speakers </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">as well as the bundled headphones. The </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">video player also have codec support and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> supports MP4, MKV and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">everything in between. 1080p videos just </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">works and the new Pop up play feature </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">works as we saw it on advertisement</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Note II is a quad-band GSM </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">handset with quad-band 3G support and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4G support also. You also get dual-band Wi-Fi with </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">hotspot capabilities and Wi-Fi Direct, GPS </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">with A-GPS support and GLONASS, USB </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OTG, DLNA, external storage up to 64 GB via micro-sd slot, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> the new Bluetooth 4.0, and TV out via MHL and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Near Field Communication shortly spelled as NFC</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">, whichcovers all your connectivity </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">options. The Note II is  equipped with </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">an 8 megapixel powerful camera and an LED flash, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">just like the camera  it was in the S III.The fact of this phone</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> is it is a bit diffucult to handle for everyday use, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">the Note II stands out as the best </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Android money can buy right now after the HTC ONE X and Sony Xperia Z.</div><br /></div>

The </div><div>original Halo was, in the simplest of terms, a game </div><div>worthy of selling an entire console platform on its own </div><div>merit. It may not have shown the ingenuity of the French or </div><div>Japanese games, nor was it revolutionary in any aspect. But </div><div>it was a veritable distillation of FPS mechanics to the casual </div><div>confines of the couch. It had a no-nonsense plot that drew from </div><div>Heinlein's power armour-equipped space marine trope from </div><div>Starship Troopers, and buffed it with excellent gameplay tweaks </div><div>that overcame its gamepad limitations.</div><div>Its fast, frenetic action, excellent weapon and enemy design, </div><div>and a stellar multiplayer mode made it a benchmark in the </div><div>console FPS genre. Much of its success can be attributed to </div><div>the irreverent geniuses at Bungie. However, since its split with </div><div>Microsoft, the Halo mantle was eventually taken over by 343 </div><div>Industries after Halo: Reach. The developer had already shown </div><div>competence with the 10th Anniversary remake of the original </div><div>game. Halo 4, however, marks the first instalment of the series </div><div>continuation that's been dubbed the Reclaimer Trilogy.</div><div>The game takes place right after the events of the last proper </div><div>series outing; Halo 3. The Flood menace has been routed from </div><div>the planet and the Covenant armada has fled. However, Master </div><div>Chief and his AI sidekick Cortana have been taken for dead </div><div>and have been adrift in space for the past four years. Cortana </div><div>awakens him after the ship is caught in the gravity well of a </div><div>Forerunner planet called Requiem, and is under siege from </div><div>Covenant warships.</div><div>The Covenants and Master Chief aren’t the only ones on the planet. This conveniently sets the pace for yet another threat to humanity in the form of the energy-themed Promethean </div></span><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">race, which are replete with unique fighting tactics and cool </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tron-esque weapons. Interestingly, the series gets its first </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">recognisable villain with Halo 4. You will find more conventional </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hollywood themes in the form of a decidedly more sexed up </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cortana, and a healthy dose of pathos.</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwl72afgOe2p_EnoGS3Dw67C0TXL8p3Dz1dSM8JyMPXpjk9RHvLXQbcR4k5v7vuEC56UCGcBNazVcGxCXkbQXbM6MvA2KrBpRsS8s83PV6gya3USDd_-_DVKZrTpLbQIb_QZEAI_05tZU/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwl72afgOe2p_EnoGS3Dw67C0TXL8p3Dz1dSM8JyMPXpjk9RHvLXQbcR4k5v7vuEC56UCGcBNazVcGxCXkbQXbM6MvA2KrBpRsS8s83PV6gya3USDd_-_DVKZrTpLbQIb_QZEAI_05tZU/s400/2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The shapely AI sidekick is nearing the end of her life span, </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">which brings upon a behavioural phenomenon called rampancy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In simple terms, that’s the AI equivalent of post-menopausal </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">mood swings. This also means Cortana will perish unless she’s </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">taken back to Earth. While John (AKA Master Chief) may play </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the stereotypical faceless marine hidden behind a flak helmet, </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cortana and the rest of the cast are painstakingly animated. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don’t expect a Heavy Rain or an LA Noire, but the tragic </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">chemistry between the main leads is done well, without being </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">too cringe-inducing and mawkish (that’s you, Gears of War 3).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At any rate, one doesn’t exactly prefer Halo games for </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">their narrative. What really draws in gamers is its fine tuned </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">gameplay. The franchise’s gamepad-friendliness may prevent </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">enemies from being agile and quick on the draw, but the solid AI </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">proves challenging. Enemies charge, retreat, and duck in and out </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of cover to keep you on your toes. Different classes of enemies </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">team up and work to balance each other’s strengths and </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">weaknesses. The new Promethean enemies, for example, come </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">in cannon fodder (Crawlers), support (Watchers), and heavy </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Knights) flavours. The weaker Crawlers draw your fire while the </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">fearsome Knights teleport in and out of cover to harass you with </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">heavy ordnance. The watchers, who clearly seem to be inspired </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">from Quake 2’s Daedalus/Icarus, maintain tension by shielding </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">or reviving fallen foes. These enemy tactics keep the action from </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">deteriorating into a mindless run-and-gun affair.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTPrx1XhdCEnHDFTu3LtqDaWHfq5og3Z9vO9fJV39b5qJRNtm_ox9KSc5mt96BwQtpNvqw5A_riHddY47BkM8AoMX8Qm6wGhx1P7zQIwXLZiB4EIV3afSRJuBEY9Qx3GN8BVygAwbd55gv/s1600/Ashampoo_Snap_2013.04.24_15h23m41s_003_.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTPrx1XhdCEnHDFTu3LtqDaWHfq5og3Z9vO9fJV39b5qJRNtm_ox9KSc5mt96BwQtpNvqw5A_riHddY47BkM8AoMX8Qm6wGhx1P7zQIwXLZiB4EIV3afSRJuBEY9Qx3GN8BVygAwbd55gv/s320/Ashampoo_Snap_2013.04.24_15h23m41s_003_.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Countering this manner of guerrilla warfare isn’t exactly a </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">daunting task thanks to a multi-faceted offensive capability that </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">lets players choose between an assortment of guns, grenades, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">melee, and armour abilities. You have the standard human </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">array of short and long-range, fast/weak and slow/strong, and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">explosive weapons that deliver splash damage. The Covenant </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and Promethean arms are essentially the same weapon classes, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">but with cooler Tron-esque animations and shiny energy </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">projectiles. Armour abilities range from the Hard Light Shield to </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">ones packing cloaking capabilities and sentry bots.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Although there are a wide variety of weapons at your disposal, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">this diversity tends to cause balance issues. Certain rapid-fire </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">submachine gun class weapons prove too weak, while some of </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">the Promethean sniper rifles are rendered useless due to the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">opposing camp's better alternatives. The fact that quite a few </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">weapons make no case for themselves points towards either </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">poor balancing or the developers shoving in extra firepower just </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">for the heck of it</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6nrZNGQYooMkgNQ7oqGK_FvgnrjV_Ma5cSJHPum8Sd0SF6Gu6MBisWyyGhELegrROuZNFp1B8TQ5dEuqj9-QeRX1ZoWcOkuPByRTMDXrKNIJ9hG02zr0T64ohZIVeEcLE6IwpzbLuLlw/s1600/Ashampoo_Snap_2013.04.24_15h33m11s_004_.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6nrZNGQYooMkgNQ7oqGK_FvgnrjV_Ma5cSJHPum8Sd0SF6Gu6MBisWyyGhELegrROuZNFp1B8TQ5dEuqj9-QeRX1ZoWcOkuPByRTMDXrKNIJ9hG02zr0T64ohZIVeEcLE6IwpzbLuLlw/s640/Ashampoo_Snap_2013.04.24_15h33m11s_004_.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The multiplayer component compares favourably to the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">competition, but fans of the original Halo may have a few </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">complaints. The overall pace of the multiplayer gameplay </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">is faster, which does remind one of Call of Duty’s brand of </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">multiplayer. Hardcore Halo players have been complaining </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">of excessive bloom (inaccuracy due to automatic fire) on </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">certain weapons, and other weapons, such as the DMR, being </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">preponderant upon favourites such as the Battle Rifle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The new aspect of Loadouts can be perceived as </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">modernisation of the multiplayer component or a nod to Call </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">of Duty’s Perk system. This Loadout business grants players </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">with a pre-set number of slots to equip </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">primary/secondary weapons, grenades, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and armour abilities, in addition to a pair </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">of extra skill-buffing bonuses. Just like </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">perks, players who do well level up and </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">get more of these slots. Old schoolers </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">have already started making noises </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">about how this COD-esque system </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">doesn’t encourage a level playing field.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you can embrace the changes with </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">a more open mind, you’ll realise that </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">they aren’t as bad for weekend gamers </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">as the hardcore ones make it out to be. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yes, the new multiplayer component </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">drops a few popular modes, but it does </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">replace them with interesting new ones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Firefight mode from the previous </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">games is replaced with Spartan Ops, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">which are episodic missions padded with</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">painstakingly crafted FMV sequences. Like the main campaign, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">this mode can be played in either split-screen or online co-op </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">with up to three other friends. However, unlike the campaign </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">mode, the first episodic content that I tried out wasn’t nearly as </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">satisfying and felt disjointed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Invasion mode too has been replaced by Dominion, which </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">is a team-based push to control bases. Successful teams are </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">rewarded with cool vehicles and weapon drops. Flood is the new </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">moniker for the Infected mode of the previous games, where you </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">face off with superfast Flood-infected humans eager to impale </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">you with their mutated arms. The competitive multiplayer </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">mode dubbed as Wargames is a lot faster and a bit like COD as </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">mentioned earlier, thanks to Loadouts and abilities dynamically </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">changing the course of battle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To sum it up, Halo 4 sports a modernised multiplayer </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">component that’s faster and incorporates some cues from </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">contemporary games. It may not please hardcore competitive </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">gamers, but on the other hand, that just might get it more </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">mainstream fans.

BitTorrent Sync: Secure File Sync Between Computers Using P2P Technology [Public Alpha]

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html">BitTorrent Sync</a>, a free to use (but not open source) tool that can be used to automatically synchronize files between computers using the BitTorrent protocol, is now available for all as public alpha. The application runs on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and NAS.</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/btsync.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="BitTorrent Sync Web Interface Linux" border="0" height="215" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dbMnQEiXvQU/UXbxCzz7hQI/AAAAAAAAPC4/SCnDdroxqQI/s320/btsync.png" title="BitTorrent Sync Web Interface Linux" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">The tool, which has been in closed alpha for the past four months, is advertised as "<i>a simple tool that applies p2p protocol for direct live folder sync with maximum security, network speed and storage capacity</i>".<br /><br />And indeed, BitTorrent Sync is a great way of syncing and sharing files between computers, even files that you usually wouldn't trust with cloud sync tools such as Dropbox: besides the files being transferred directly between the users (so your files don't end up on some cloud server), the connection is encrypted with a AES cypher and a 256-bit key created on the base of your Secret, a random 20 byte or more string. For increased security, there's also an option to generate a Secret that expires after a day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Basically, this peer-to-peer (p2p) sync tool can be compared with cloud sync services such as Dropbox or Ubuntu One, but no server is involved which also means that the sync can be faster than such services and there are no space restrictions (except your HDD). This also means the computers need to be online for the sync to work, obviously.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>How to use BitTorrent Sync on Linux</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Update: BitTorrent Sync beta is out and there's now an Ubuntu PPA you can use to easily install it. See: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/bittorrent-sync-beta-adds-file.html">BitTorrent Sync Beta Adds File Versioning, Android App [PPA]</a></b><br /><br /><b><i>Arch Linux </i></b><i>users can install BitTorrent Sync via</i><b><i> <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bittorrent-sync">AUR</a>. </i></b><br /><br /><b>To use BitTorrent Sync (or "BtSync") on Linux, <a href="http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html">download</a></b> and extract the binary for your architecture (Ubuntu users: use the "Linux i386" or "Linux x64" links on the left; don't download the "glib 2.3" binaries), extract it and to run it, simply type the following in a terminal (assuming you've extracted the "btsync" binary in your home folder):</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>cd<br />./btsync</code></pre><br />To see a list of available options, type:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>./btsync --help</code></pre><br />And if you want to stop BitTorrent Sync, use:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>killall btsync</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>BitTorrent Sync doesn't come with a GUI for Linux, but it can be configured through a web interface</b> so once you've started BtSync like we've explained above, open a web browser and enter the following URL: <b>http://localhost:8888/gui/</b></div><br /><b>Now let's add a folder to sync</b>. To do this, click "Add folder", then browse for a folder you want to sync and also click "Generate" to generate a Secret for this folder. Then click "Add" to add the folder:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/btsync-add-folder.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="BitTorrent Sync Web Interface Linux" border="0" height="209" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PNkYu4qaACE/UXbxMLNlxpI/AAAAAAAAPDA/TmsCV6a-25w/s320/btsync-add-folder.png" title="BitTorrent Sync Web Interface Linux" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>If you want to connect to other devices / synchronize a folder from a remote computer on your machine,</b> follow the same steps as above, but instead of clicking "Generate" for the Secret, paste the Secret generated for the folder from the remote computer.</div><br />On Linux, most of the settings aren't available in the web interface. Instead, you can run:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>./btsync --dump-sample-config > sync.conf</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Which will create a new "sync.conf" file with a sample configuration file. Modify the settings in this file to suit your needs and then run BtSync using the following command (which will make BtSync use the newly created configuration file):</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>./btsync --config sync.conf</code></pre><br /><b>For more on how to use BitTorrent Sync on Linux but also on Windows and Mac OS X, see the <a href="http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/BitTorrentSyncUserGuide.pdf">User Guide PDF</a> file.</b><br /><br /><b><a href="http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html">Download BitTorrent Sync</a> for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and NAS.</b><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>via <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrents-secure-dropbox-alternative-goes-public-130423">TorrentFreak</a></i></div>

The processor<br />was narrowed down as the one aspect<br />to concentrate on and make it<br />unbeatable.<br />The company then approached<br />IBM,then  the world’s leading makers<br />and innovators of chips, to build<br />a processor that would be two<br />generations ahead of the PC<br />processors prevalent at the time.<br />IBM was glad to oblige, but<br />asked for a little help. In 2000,<br />an alliance called STI was formed<br />between IBM, Sony Computer<br />Entertainment and Toshiba, who<br />together worked on the design<br />of the Cell Broadband Engine<br />Architecture (CBEA), commonly known as the Cell microprocessor. The first chip<br />was tested in the STI Design Centre at Austin, Texas. And the first real application,<br />of course, was in the PlayStation 3.Getting into the technical aspects of the Cell Processor would entail a lesson<br />in microprocessor technology, with phrases like ‘Power Processor Element’ and<br />‘Synergistic Processing Elements’ being thrown about every couple of sentences.<br />In layman’s terms, the Cell Processor is an eight-core processor, which means<br />that it can compute eight different processes at the same time – a fantastic<br />achievement to improve the speed of computing. Each of these eight ‘cores’ is also<br />fitted with 256 KB of memory for local storage when processing an instruction.<br />The biggest problem for IBM with building such a chip was in figuring out how<br />to use each core to the fullest. The introduction of a ‘Resource Allocation’ algorithm<br />solved this problem by ensuring that the PS3 is smart enough to determine which<br />cores are being used at a time and allot new operations accordingly.<br />In the end, the 64-bit architecture, coupled with the 3.2 GHz core clock speed<br />and the 256x8KB of storage, translates to some awe-inspiring computational<br />speeds.<br />The Cell Processor, in theory, can be over-clocked to 4 GHz quite easily, but<br />since the PS3 runs at 3.2 GHz, that is the most commonly cited clock speed for it.<br />A worrying factor for such a high-powered processor is over-heating. In the<br />PS3, Sony managed to make room for a high-quality heat-sink that enables the Cell<br />Processor to run smoothly at temperatures as high as 85 degrees Celsius.<br />Now, with these kinds of speeds, the amount of reliance on other factors of<br />computing, such as the RAM or the graphics card, is substantially reduced. Not that<br />it stopped Sony from coming out with a jaw-dropping graphics chipset…<br /><br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">RSX Reality Synthesizer</span></h2><div><img alt="File:RSX Reality Synthesizer on CD.jpg" height="240" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/RSX_Reality_Synthesizer_on_CD.jpg/800px-RSX_Reality_Synthesizer_on_CD.jpg" width="320" />(<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px; text-align: center;">licensed under the </span><a class="extiw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Creative_Commons" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: none; color: #663366; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px; text-align: center;" title="w:en:Creative Commons">Creative Commons</a> by <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CompuHacker" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: none; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.1875px; text-decoration: none;" title="User:CompuHacker">Compu</a>)</div>Similarly like Sony for help went to the best chip making company IBM so it did for its powerful GPU , it went to the leaders of the graphics processing unit<br />manufacturers for the PS3’s graphics card. Nvidia was glad to help out in building<br />the powerful GPU and best of that time what Sony dubbed it as‘Reality Synthesizer RSX’<br />graphics unit.<br />At that time, Nvidia was<br />busy preparing for its own<br />7000-series of graphics<br />card and had already come<br />out with the G70 base<br />architecture for its premium<br />model, the GeForce<br />7800GT. Sony liked what<br />it saw and went with<br />that – not a future-proof<br />graphics card, for sure, but<br />the company didn’t feel the need to do that because of the Cell Processor taking on a large amount of the<br />graphics processing responsibilities.<br />The GPU was made, running at a core clock of 550 MHz and utilising<br />256 MB of video memory. Nvidia and Sony often touted the power of the RSX<br />by saying it was more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics cards<br />combined.<br />The RSX can easily output resolutions of up to 1080p; but an important feature<br />is its upscaling ability. When someone puts  in a regular DVD or VCD, the PS3 uses the<br />incoming video data to send  to the RSX, which increases  the image<br />quality when playing it back and thus make it more clear and better. For multimedia lovers and especially fans of old<br /> movies, this was godsend!<br />With the 256 MB of memory here and the 256 MB of dedicated memory on<br />board the PS3, what only low is its ram otherwise it is still the best console out there.<br /><br /><br /><h2><span style="color: #660000;">Blu-Ray ROM</span></h2><div><img alt="File:PS3 Blu-ray Drive.jpg" height="212" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/PS3_Blu-ray_Drive.jpg/800px-PS3_Blu-ray_Drive.jpg" width="320" />(<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.1875px; text-align: center;"> This file is licensed under </span><a class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/deed.en" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: url(data:image/png; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #663366; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.1875px; padding-right: 13px; text-align: center;">Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic</a> by <b style="background-color: #eeffee; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.1875px;"><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:ITurtle" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="User:ITurtle">ITurtle</a> at </b><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PS3_Blu-ray_Drive.jpg">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PS3_Blu-ray_Drive.jpg</a>)</div><div>The PlayStation 3 was also </div>to introduce Sony’s new<br />format for optical disks,<br />dubbed Blu-Ray. By now,<br />the war between Sony’s Blu-Ray and Toshiba’s HD-DVD<br />is long over with the former<br />emerging triumphant, but at<br />the time of the PS3’s launch,<br />it was a big deal indeed!<br />Sony was touting these<br />disks as the future of<br />multimedia, and gaming in<br />particular, with a single Blu-Ray disk being able to store over 30 GB of data.<br />The next-generation optical disk promised games at a more rapid pace and with<br />loads of extra content.<br />Why would a Blu-Ray ROM affect release dates of games? Well, a large portion<br />of developing a video game is in figuring out how to fit millions of lines of<br />programming into the tiny 4.5-9 GB DVDs that are currently available. If a disk<br />allowed programmers to not go through the shrinkage process, the ability to release<br />a game becomes that much faster.<br /><br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000;">Hard Disk</span></h2><div><img alt="File:Seagate Hard Disk.jpg" height="241" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Seagate_Hard_Disk.jpg" width="320" />(licensed under <b style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px;"><a class="extiw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:GNU_Free_Documentation_License" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #663366; text-decoration: none;" title="w:en:GNU Free Documentation License">GNU Free Documentation License</a> by </b><a class="extiw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zephyris" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; background-image: none; color: #663366; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.1875px; text-decoration: none;" title="w:User:Zephyris">Richard Wheeler</a><b style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </b><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 19.1875px;">)</span></div>The PS3 comes with different-sized hard disks, ranging from 20 GB right up to 80<br />GB. . This means that as long as you find a model that is compatible with the PS3,you could easily replace the<br />current hard disk with a<br />larger-capacity offering.<br />Now, be advised that<br />doing so might void your<br />warranty, and so you should<br />only be taking on the task<br />if you know what you are<br />doing. Refer to a few online<br />tutorials and videos before<br />you decide to go in for<br />bigger storage!<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #660000;">Connectivity</span></h2><div><img alt="File:PS3-Fat-Console-Back.jpg" height="137" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/PS3-Fat-Console-Back.jpg/800px-PS3-Fat-Console-Back.jpg" width="320" /></div>Sony had inserted a lot of awfull connectivity option on the micro supercomputer.<br />For connecting to a television, a monitor or<br />a projector, the user can use either an HDMI port  or connect with the old television using a<br />component cable.<br />For the internet, a PS3 can be connected to a<br />standard Gigabit Ethernet cable via a port at its<br />back, or use its  built-in WiFi chip to latch on to<br />a signal.<br />The PS3 also sports Bluetooth with the version 2.0 with the well known A2DP technology, which is used to connect to<br />the controllers or any other accessories wirelessly.<br />At any one time 7 users can play this console.<br />In case a user wants to transfer data from an<br />external hard disk or a USB drive, the two USB<br />ports at the front will come in handy. This provides<br />an easy way to back-up your saved games and other<br />data, although the need for it is greatly reduced by<br />the large hard disks.<br />Some versions of the PS3, such as the 60 GB<br />and the 80 GB units, also come with a 5-in-1<br />memory card reader. This supports most of Sony’s<br />proprietary formats and SD cards, but you will need  an adapter to connect a microSD card...<br />..<u>So after writing this hard article all i want is your precious replies.
