Apple buys Intrinsity for about $ 120 million
The company Intrinsity chipmakers has been bought by Apple as confirmed on Tuesday April 27. After the negotiations last month estimated that the purchase has cost 120 million dollars and that squares with the possible purchase already announced in Applesfera.
Intrinsity has worked with Samsung in the development of processors ARM and owns technologies (fastcore) that could give Apple advantage over other competitors, making processors as well as the current A4 includes in IPAD. And it seems that the Cupertino company want to distinguish yourself from other competitors. After the acquisition of PA Semi and now Intrinsity think the idea is to manufacture chips with a consumption as low as possible without sacrificing power. Regardless, the important thing of all is the importance to Apple is taking mobile technology sector.

Apple hires Matt Casamassina, an expert on Nintendo games
Anyone who has read my work over the years know that I am a long time Nintendo fan, but if there is any company that can attract me more than cover everything about Mario and Zelda, that is the one with Steve Jobs. So Matt Casamassina has described the view you have about Apple on his personal blog in an entry in which he announced that Apple has been hired as manager of game publishers.
In that post games organized with the help of a team that will be at your service. Until now, Matt had a job at IGN. This move represents a movement of tab more from Apple in the board game market. Following the evidence that the App Store business (along with its economic performance) is becoming a new phase leaving behind the concept of other consoles like the Nintendo DS or PSP, Apple seems determined to dominate the market with increasing more activity both from within and from outside the company, by which companies like Gameloft are specializing in games for the Apple devices. It is curious to see how after many rumors spoke of a Apple video game, the real console has ended up being the set of all devices that are capable of operating with the App Store. If Nintendo and Sony prefer to continue selling video game cartridges, I fear that Apple will only gaining more and more market share.

I do not trust the dock to keep the laptop closed ventilation issues, but certainly the idea is very good and neat freak will love. Joan Our reader sent us the link to an article of Shacknews, which tells us that the StarCraft 2 beta for Mac is coming soon: it will then launch the map editor for players who are testing the beta of Windows at this time. We will be ready to test the game if it falls into our hands. The Banc Sabadell, a bank that operates from Catalonia, has launched its own application management IPAD bank accounts, with a whole continued to function that make this entity is the first to offer something for the new tablet from Apple. From Apple’s Blog comes the news that the California hospital plans to introduce in their personal and facilities of the IPAD 100 units, so that doctors can perform queries that need more quickly and efficiently. From Javielos we get an application to help movie fans to test their knowledge, called How do you know about movies? A trivial way, we can go answering questions submitted to us by choosing one of the correct options. The application fee is, but it seems that from the blog circumvent some licenses. In Tech Blog report Canal + plans to launch an application for the iPhone that will allow us to follow the World Cup in South Africa to be held soon in real time, with live broadcasts of matches, with some incentives such as videoconferencing to connect with presenters themselves will offer the game.

iStat Menu 3, renew the application to monitor your Mac
IStat Menu 3 is an application that can monitor different parameters of our equipment, thus providing useful information on the use of CPU, memory, network traffic, the state of our hard drives ,… What’s New?
Well, iStat Menu 3 has undergone a major redesign. To begin now the application is not installed on preferences but is located directly in the Applications folder, with a redesign of its interface. Also has added the ability to control the fan speed (only on computers with Intel processors), possibility to show the public IP status as sun and moon each city and time, calendar and more information on the battery team. Without a doubt, despite having now come to a cost of 10 dollars is an application worth if we have more details of our team. And the possibility of creating rules for controlling the speed of the fans of our team is something that I liked enough as SMC Fun substituted Control application.

Glee We tested the application for the iPhone, iPod touch and IPAD
Are you a fan of Glee? “You get to scream like crazy every time someone makes an” L “with your hand?
Do you know by heart all the songs of the chapters? Do not worry you’re one of those who suffer fever Glee, among which I include myself. For all of us has left Glee official application for the iPhone, iPod touch and IPAD. The application has the same main goal of the series, that is, singing. Mixing a kind of game / karaoke songs we interpret the different chapters of Glee. The game includes three songs known by all fans: Rehab.Somebody love.You to keep me hanging on. Songs quite famous in the short history of the series. Also included are shortcuts to other songs but these are extra and are priced at 0.79 euros. Once we started playing different arrangements are included to fine-tune our voice a bit more of reality, most sing pretty bad, but the game tries to apply different filters to hide our voice. The result is really fit, never better, as it gives the feeling that we sing a lot better than they actually do. In addition to this we have a second paragraph more social. Since Glee fans begin to multiply, the application reflects this phenomenon to create a more social section. From the “listen” can listen to other people throughout the world singing our own songs and even join them and do duets. For this, the program has a colorful interface of a globe where we can see localized for each of the countries aspiring singers. We may also raise our own interpretations once we have finished singing. To do this we create our service account and assign our song. In addition to the characteristics, implementation is fraught with constant promotional images and winks to the series that any fan really appreciates. Although the first few days the price was 2.39 euros, a rather high price in these days is with a discount of 66% leaving it with an interesting price of 0.79 euros. The implementation is fun and arrangements are well managed (and are the original versions of the series, with his arrangements and vocals), his new price is quite attractive but could have offered the application free of charge and Payment songs.

The camera connection kit for the IPAD could manage via USB audio
With news how are you and knowing it is virtually impossible to gain an IPAD to late May, a server at least they put the teeth longer and longer. Apparently be able to connect audio interfaces with IPAD thanks to USB camera connector.
In the Apple mailing list, the engineer William Stewart makes clear that it will be possible through this connector. This means that the IPAD will be able to interact with many professional audio devices that exist in USB market, provided of course, is to make applications for it. Although obviously not be tested until Apple start serving IPAD Kit for later this month. But the engineer makes it clear that any programming needed for this is already included in the operating system. This only serves to reinforce the concept that the potential of the IPAD will be determined by what we are capable of developers and Apple is putting many facilities to make this happen. In the video that I leave after the jump shows the capabilities of IPAD in this area right now, if you begin to use this feature, these will increase exponentially. Thanks to Janale for sending the video. Vía | iLounge

The firmware 4.0 could include integration with Facebook
Just a thing was what I needed for the firmware 4.0 was much more appealing to me. Although it seems that Apple is stepping up to the iPhone and iPod touch one of the remaining tasks of a management system is the social networking content.
Most modern operating systems are enhancing these features. Including the integration of the agenda with online services such as Facebook and Twitter. While Apple has not announced anything officially about this, as we see in capturing the new operating system version includes some extensions that just refer to services such as Facebook. Hopefully This integration not only shared the Agenda unless the system also includes a data synchronization service in real time as it operates WebOS. Vía | Genbeta

Sprint 4G Case. Much more than a cover for IPAD
The U.S. operator Sprint has introduced two covers specially designed for the IPAD that have a peculiar feature: it includes a pocket to accommodate the Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot, a device the Sea utility that lets you access the Internet wirelessly, regardless of where we meet at a blistering pace.
In particular the Overdrive to connect the IPAD and four other devices with Wi-Fi connectivity through 4G network Sprint at a speed of 6 Mbps, that is, about ten times faster than traditional 3G connection. And if this new network coverage is not very good at home in California, no problem, it is also compatible with 3G. The invention has a range of 3 ½ hours, and fits perfectly IPAD next to any of the two covers, Folio or Sleeve, elegant designs, which also appear to serve also for a number of electronic readers like the nook. I wonder what the cover will launch Telefónica in Spain. Thanks to Roberto Mateos for the link! Official Site | Sprint 4G Case for IPAD

Pacifist, Apple lost reinstall applications
One of the features that attracted me to Mac OS X when I did my change was a terrible cleaning which installed everything in it. A single application folder where to copy and which would be complemented all files pertaining to it.
And also lay in the simplicity uninstall (unless the obvious exceptions) to be all the files that are in one location. As many of you know there are applications that are installed with the operating system itself, in short, the applications own system. These applications are in the Install DVD Mac OS X and a priori is necessary to do a full installation to retrieve it. But not always going to have to go through a complete reinstallation if we lose any of these applications. Obviously the simplest solutions go to restore a recent copy of Time Machine or copying the application from another Mac that has the same Mac OS X version installed. Another possible solution lies in the Combo updates as such updates often modify these applications, but when all else fails there is another ace in the hole, Pacifist. Pacifist Shareware is a simple program that allows us to read any file or pkg mpkg to recover all that it contains. Although obviously we can use it with any of these files separately, his main interest lies in the ability to perform the installation disc of Mac OS X. When you enter one of these discs and we will identify the program read it by removing all information that contains the same programs. Once read discs Mac OS X, will give us two options for viewing, pkg contents of which will be the option that displays the raw information. And resources that will be the most “orderly” and that will show the applications themselves. To find the application you want, we can extract a specific location or install on your system. This program should be used as a last resort, since it is more than likely that the application in question is outdated. If we have recovered an application like this should prompt a system update immediately after the application to put “a day “. Vía | Mac Fixit Download | Pacifist

Live long and prosper my friends! and if you belong to the Romulan Empire for Windows, you know that there is also a version for your ships. Update: As pointed chimi2 friend in the comments, the program is a bit viejuno and already reviewed on the blog in … 2006! , What those times. Indeed, the comments also suggest us that the version of Web Developer (download link) is not compatible with Snow Leopard. If the version of MacUpdate descargáis (satellite link) will obtain a newer version and fully compatible with SL @ 64bit. Vía | MacUpdate Download | System47

Apple stands placed on the list of value as
And we talked about last year that Apple will probably not suffer much on account of global recession due to crisis. And this has been proven when it has risen from 71 since it was in the current 56.
Remember that this list is made exclusively with American companies. Has been the only business related to the world of computing has had a significant rise, their market value amounted to 209.4 billion Dollars (remember that a trillion is a billion U.S.), approximately 155 billion Euros. Companies like Dell (38th), HP (# 10), IBM (# 20) or Microsoft (36th) have experienced a slight decline, but obviously still on top. Surprisingly also achieved a 18 percent more profit than last year, which are 5.7 trillion dollars (about 5200 million Euros). These results are remarkable even more the times, we see that profits next year reported sales of IPAD which appears to be proving a success. Vía | Electronista

Integra Facebook notifications on your desktop using GeekTool 3
I have said on many occasions that GeekTool is an application that, despite the downside of a diversion over the account may offer advantages if we know how to take advantage. On this occasion let’s see how Facebook’s display events on the desktop.
This first thing to do is get the feed address for notifications Facebook. This we do from Notifications and clicking on View all notifications. Subscribe Now look, do right click on the link and copy the address. Now paste that address in a text file for later use. Link obtained will be something like this: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/notifications.php? id =***** A quick note where it says we can replace it notifications.php different options to display other notifications. notifications.php – Our notifications status.php – Your state friends_status.php own updates – update status of your friend notes.php – friends_notes.php own notes – notes of your friend share_friends_posts.php – Sharing of your friends we need to create an Automator workflow that will responsible for adding all the notifications go to a text file will then show GeekTool. For its creation open Automator, select new workflow and then, on this new flow drag the following three actions: Get specified URL, extracting text articles, new text file, in that order. ( #) The first action of the workflow modify the direction obtained previously. And in the last action select the file name which then we will make you gain GeekTool information, storing it in a folder easily reachable. Verify that the flow is working properly to avoid headaches that do posteriores.Para click run and found that the text file is generated correctly and with the information. If all goes well, we keep the workflow with a name that is recognizable to us, especially if we create multiple streams. Our third step is to assign the periodicity with which the flow to be implemented by updating the information to our liking. To do this you must first go to the website and download Geeklets. Singlet required. The first refresh.glet only determines the period of the update. Then with formattedfeed.glet normalfeed.glet and is with them that we go on the desktop showing the data obtained with the flow of automator. Obviously we can customize the way we want to go show these notifications, but that is personal work. And before concluding, another little extra. A command in GeekTool to display the burden of our laptop battery ioreg-l | grep-i Capacity | tr ‘\ n’ ‘|’ | awk ‘(printf (“% .2 f%% “, $ 10 / $ 5 * 100 )}’ And remember, when you have more interesting commands do not hesitate to share them.
