			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OpenGL su Ubuntu ha prestazioni superiori rispetto a quelle di cui sono capaci su OS X. Questo l&#8217;esito di alcuni test svolti da <strong><a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=intel_snb_osx1304&amp;num=1">Phoronix</a></strong> per testare l’efficienza di queste routine.</p>
<p>Nei test con il gioco Nexuiz, OS X alla risoluzione di 1600&#215;1200 pixel si è comportato meglio di tutti gli altri, permettendo di ottenere 40fps contro i 30fps delle altre due configurazioni. Alla risoluzione più elevata il più veloce è stato Ubuntu 13.04 con Linux 3.10 e Mesa 9.2.</p>
<p>Con OpenArena (0.8.5), le performance di OS X sono inferiori alle configurazioni Ubuntu: una media di 132 fps contro i 77.3 del sistema operativo di Apple. Anche nei test con Warsow (uno sparatutto in prima persona), Linux si è dimostrato più veloce di OS X: l’installazione pulita di Ubuntu 13.04 ha permesso di ottenere valori mediamente del 12% migliori; installando il nuovo kernel e Mesa la percentuale di miglioramento passa al 28%.</p>
<p>I dati dei benchmarks sono stati rilevati usando un Mac Mini con Intel Core i5 2415M &#8220;Sandy Bridge&#8221; con 2GB of RAM e grafica Intel HD 3000. I sistemi operativi confrontati sono stati OS X 10.8.3 Ubuntu 13.04.  Alcuni test sono stati eseguiti installando l’ultimo kernel Linux (Linux 3.10 Git) e la libreria Mesa Git (Mesa 9.2.0 git-ccb041f) su un’installazione Ubuntu 13.04 per verificare cambiamenti con le ultime release di OpenGL per Linux</p>
<p>Come abbiamo anche noi più volte <strong><a href="http://www.macitynet.it/articolo/OS-X-10.8-i-driver-grafici-sono-stati-perfezionati-ma-Apple-pu-ancora-migliorare/aA61975">riportato</a></strong>, Apple non ha integrato in OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion le ultime versioni delle API OpenGL 4.3 ed è da tempo ferma alla versione 3.2 (risalenti al 2009). Cupertino è incredibilmente indietro e non si capisce perché ritardi così tanto nell’integrare le specifiche in questione. Le routine di OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion hanno recuperato terreno nei confronti di Windows ma Apple deve darsi da fare ed essere più rapida nel supportare le versioni aggiornate di OpenGL quando l’OpenGL Working Group rende disponibili nuove release delle API multipiattaforma.<strong> </strong></p>

This update brings various bug fixes and minor enhancements. The strongSwan team released version 5.0.4 which fixes an authentication bypass for certificates that use Elliptic Curves. As we don&#8217;t use them in IPFire by default, this is not too serious an issue, but we still updated the strongSwan package. The update also contains some changes that fix unstable IPsec connections, a minority of users was experiencing. Since Core Update 65, disabling OpenVPN roadwarrior connections had no effect, so that users could still connect. This has also been fixed with this release. The web user interface comes with a new status bar which now has a cleaner design and provides more information.</span>&#8221; Read the rest of the <a href="http://www.ipfire.org/news/ipfire-2-13-core-update-68-released">release announcement</a> for more details. <a href="http://www.ipfire.org/download">Download</a> (<a href="http://downloads.ipfire.org/latest">SHA1</a>): <a href="http://downloads.ipfire.org/releases/ipfire-2.x/2.13-core68/ipfire-2.13.i586-full-core68.iso">ipfire-2.13.i586-full-core68.iso</a> (99.4MB), <a href="http://downloads.ipfire.org/releases/ipfire-2.x/2.13-core68/ipfire-2.13.1gb-ext4.armv5tel-full-core68.img.gz">ipfire-2.13.1gb-ext4.armv5tel-full-core68.img.gz</a> (163MB).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael &#8220;Monty&#8221; Widenius, principal creator of the open-source MySQL database, says <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/mariadb-alpha-taps-into-mysql-5-6-to-boost-its-own-new-features-7000011052/">the MariaDB fork</a> he helped set up in 2009 is close to redressing a shortcoming that has long hampered website performance.</p>
<p>An issue inherent in MySQL, which is a key component in the widely-used LAMP open-source web application software stack, is the relative speed of the master MySQL database server and its slaves, according to Widenius.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the MySQL world, we&#8217;ve had one of the most flexible applications for almost 15 years, but there&#8217;s always been one big problem: you can have a master that was very efficient but you could never create a slave that could be as fast as the master — there was always a lag,&#8221; Widenius said.</p>
<p>&#8220;People are very interested in that specific area because all high-availability websites are critically dependent on this issue. Now we are very close to solving that permanently.&#8221;</p>
<p>Widenius said MariaDB would be revealing the details of its solutions to improving master-slave performance shortly. &#8220;We are talking about three or four months,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He added that the application of the database — how it is distributed — was typically set up with the master doing all the updates and the slaves doing the reads.</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem was always that if you have a master that gets lots and lots of writes, the slave couldn&#8217;t keep up — they weren&#8217;t fast enough,&#8221; he said.</p>

</ul>
</div>
<p>&#8220;That was because we didn&#8217;t do things as optimally as we could have, and with MariaDB we now have two solutions for that [issue]. We can actually make the slaves faster than the master for the first time in MySQL history and people are very interested in that.&#8221;</p>
<p>MariaDB recently announced its planned <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/look-out-oracle-skysql-and-mariadb-join-forces-7000014411/">merger with MySQL services firm SkySQL</a> to secure the open-source fork&#8217;s future, raising its credibility among larger organisations and helping it develop beyond web roles into big data and the cloud.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/skysql-mariadb-merger-what-should-you-expect-7000014583/">merger also reunites key figures</a>, including Widenius, behind the development of MySQL, which was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008 for $1bn, which was in turn bought by Oracle for $7.4bn in 2010. By then, some of the database&#8217;s original creators had already left to produce the MariaDB fork while others formed the SkySQL support firm in 2010.</p>
<p>Widenius said he was unaware of <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/oracle-cranks-up-mysql-5-6-features-and-speeds-7000010847/">Oracle&#8217;s efforts</a> in the area of master-slave performance. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t seen any indication that Oracle is working on that,&#8221; he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://libri.forpassion.net/files/2013/05/0114.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2282" src="http://libri.forpassion.net/files/2013/05/0114.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="130" /></a>Un paradosso. Non può definirsi in altro modo. Nel giro di poche ore Google riceve due notizie: prima il prestigioso riconoscimento “<strong>è Giornalismo”</strong>, premio fondato da grandi giornalisti come Indro Montanelli, Enzo Biagi, Giorgio Bocca, oltre all’imprenditore Giancarlo Aneri. Poi, la segnalazione di <strong>Giovanni Pitruzzella, presidente dell’Antitrust</strong>, che ha chiesto ufficialmente al Governo e al Parlamento di intervenire a tutela dei contenuti editoriali su Internet, ricordandogli che la Francia ha già firmato un accordo con il colosso di Mountain View proprio su questo tema e la Germania, seppur con modalità diverse, si appresta a fare altrettanto.</p>
<p>Se non si tratta di un paradosso, appunto, poco ci manca. Soprattutto perché il premio è stato assegnato proprio da una giuria di giornalisti. Categoria che, seguendo il senso della segnalazione dell’Antitrust, dovrebbe ritenersi danneggiata dal modo in cui Google ha finora sfruttato i contenuti editoriali delle testate.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px">Il premio è stato assegnato da un pool di grandi firme come Giulio Anselmi, Mario Calabresi, Curzio Maltese, Paolo Mieli, Gianni Riotta e Gian Antonio Stella. Questi hanno riconosciuto l’indispensabilità del ruolo che il motore di ricerca più usato del mondo ha giocato nella rivoluzione digitale. Il premio, ben inteso, è da riferirsi all’incontestabile innovazione che Google ha portato alla diffusione delle notizie. A ritirare il riconoscimento a nome della “grande G”, oltre a un assegno di 15mila euro, sarà Hal Varian, capo del settore Economia.</span></p>
<p>Con molta eleganza il signor Varian ha accettato il riconoscimento, ma <strong>ha rifiutato il denaro</strong>, chiedendo alla giuria di individuare altre due persone che si sono distinte nel giornalismo digitale in Italia. E così l’assegno (e ci sentiamo di dire anche il premio morale) passerà ad<strong> Anna Masera</strong>, Social Media Editor de <em>La Stampa</em> e <strong>Arianna Ciccone</strong>, fondatrice del <strong>Festival Internazionale del Giornalismo di Perugia</strong> e del blog collettivo <em>Valigiablu</em>. Varian ha anche annunciato che Google stanzierà un importo uguale al premio, al fine di finanziare borse di studio dedicate a giornalisti italiani.<span style="font-size: 13px"> </span></p>
<p>Se tra i giurati ci fosse stato anche il presidente dell’Antitrust, probabilmente il premio sarebbe andato fin da subito alle due stimate colleghe. Nella segnalazione inviata al Governo e al Parlamento, Pitruzzella avrebbe lasciato intendere che il modo in cui Google sfrutta i contenuti editoriali delle testate è un disincentivo alla produzione di contenuti informativi a livello socialmente desiderabile. Secondo l’Antitrust è necessario mettere all’ordine del giorno, in tempi adeguati rispetto alle esigenze di trasformazione del settore, una disciplina che contempli strumenti idonei a incoraggiare su Internet forme di cooperazione virtuosa tra i produttori di contenuti editoriali e i fornitori di servizi innovativi che riproducono ed elaborano il materiale coperto dal copyright.</p>
<p>Lo scorso 1 Febbraio l’amministratore delegato di Google,<strong> Eric Schmidt</strong>, e il Governo francese di <strong>François Hollande</strong> <a name="&amp;lid=piazzadigitale.corriere.it/2013/02/04/editori-vs-google-a-chi-conviene-laccordo/&amp;lpos=homearticle-box = 1__link-position = 3" href="http://piazzadigitale.corriere.it/2013/02/04/editori-vs-google-a-chi-conviene-laccordo/">avevano firmato un accordo</a> per cui la società californiana si è impegnata a versare 60 milioni di euro per i contenuti digitali delle testate, sia tradizionali che web, d’Oltralpe. I soldi servono ad agevolare la transizione digitale dei media francesi e a finanziare gli investimenti per l’innovazione.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ubuntu is moving in all directions lately. They are making sure that they find themselves on <a href="http://www.junauza.com/2013/03/ubuntu-for-tablets-hot-or-not.html"><span style="color: #004276">tablets</span></a>, <a href="http://www.junauza.com/2013/02/why-ubuntu-phone-will-be-huge-success.html"><span style="color: #004276">smartphones</span></a>, and even on <a href="http://www.junauza.com/2012/01/ubuntu-tv-vs-google-tv-battle-of-linux.html"><span style="color: #004276">televisions</span></a>. With the high amount of efforts being put in to make Ubuntu the best product in the FOSS community, there have been some polarizing decisions that have managed to alienate a few longtime Ubuntu users. Ever since the decision to switch to Unity was taken, there have been many Linux users who don&#8217;t find Ubuntu as user-friendly as they used to back then. There have been forum wars, IRC battles, and a bunch of irksome blog posts about usability&#8211;or lack thereof&#8211; of Ubuntu. However, as time progressed, Ubuntu has matured quite a lot and has managed to regain its top spot as one of the most user-friendly distributions in the FOSS world.</p>
<p>Having said that, Ubuntu isn&#8217;t the only user-friendly distribution around. There are many distros like Fedora and openSUSE that cater specially to end-users. One of the best distros to target this user base is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://linuxmint.com/"><span style="color: #004276">Linux Mint</span></a>. Mint has managed to achieve widespread popularity despite not being backed by any big company. Moreover, many Linuxians consider Mint to be a better option when compared to Ubuntu. So, what it is that&#8217;s so special about Mint that manages to attract so many users? If you&#8217;re thinking about the question whilst staring at your Ubuntu desktop, here are a few reasons why you should switch to or at least try out Linux Mint.</p>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dKHvBt4bR7g/UZOZcaBTg7I/AAAAAAAAb6s/rtc9A99efA8/s1600/Reasons-Why-Ubuntu-Users-Should-Try-Out-Linux-Mint.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dKHvBt4bR7g/UZOZcaBTg7I/AAAAAAAAb6s/rtc9A99efA8/s320/Reasons-Why-Ubuntu-Users-Should-Try-Out-Linux-Mint.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="233" /></a></div>
<p><strong>More Choices</strong></p>
<p>Linux Mint offers two desktops: MATE and Cinnamon. This makes sure that the users have as many choices as possible. As opposed to Ubuntu, which enforces a completely modern desktop to every user, Mint actually gives you the choice of going with either a modern desktop or a more traditional desktop.</p>
<p><strong>The All-familiar Desktop</strong></p>
<p>Linux Mint offers a default desktop interface that puts users very much at home. Keeping in mind that many of the Mint users are migrating from other operating systems, Mint keeps a user interface that is simple, fast, and elegant. Ubuntu users won&#8217;t encounter many difficulties switching to the default Mint desktop.</p>
<p><strong>A Better Ubuntu</strong></p>
<p>Linux Mint, being based on Ubuntu offers all of the Ubuntu goodness, that too in a nice, fresh, and user-friendly package. Ubuntu&#8217;s popularity encourages a lot of application developers. If, let&#8217;s say you were to download an application like Steam or Dropbox for Ubuntu, you can easily install it without any compatibility issues. The same, however, cannot be done on any other distribution.</p>
<p><strong>Rich, Fresh Artwork</strong></p>
<p>Linux Mint&#8217;s artwork is something that is admired by many users. Not only does Mint provide a fresh set of wallpapers, it also provides excellent themes that make the desktop look stunning. One of the best things about Mint is that overall; you&#8217;ll find that the desktop isn&#8217;t too flashy or overdone. The design is quite simple yet attractive.</p>
<p><strong>Customizable</strong></p>
<p>As compared to Ubuntu, you&#8217;ll find that Linux Mint is quite customizable. You can download themes and even create your own themes. Apart from themes, Mint also lets you change the position and the size of the panels.</p>
<p><strong>GNOME 3 Done Right</strong></p>
<p>Though Mint has a desktop that sticks to the traditional paradigms of the desktop, it is still backed by some of the latest features. The desktop itself is built with GNOME 3 putting it at par with other modern desktop.</p>
<p><strong>Not Mobile-Oriented</strong></p>
<p>Both GNOME 3 and Ubuntu are desktops that focus heavily on the desktop-mobile convergence. Even though they are elegantly designed, Ubuntu and GNOME 3 have managed to draw away many users who believe that a desktop should look like a desktop and nothing else. Mint has ensured that it doesn&#8217;t alienate these users and provides them with a desktop that is not mobile oriented.</p>
<p><strong>The Latest Applications</strong></p>
<p>Linux Mint comes pre-installed with all the latest applications. You&#8217;ll find Firefox, Thunderbird, and yes, the latest kernel in every release. Moreover, you&#8217;ll also find that Mint can play MP3s and other restricted formats right out of the box. This makes it a complete desktop operating system.</p>
