SHORT'Y - the release of short news from October 24

#linux

The operating system Ubuntu Linux is chosen for the tablets, starting with the flagship Android-tablet Google Nexus 7. Ubuntu developer Victor Palau has published a short video showing the OS on this device. For people far from the topic, the name of the operating system sounds frightening. But believe me: there is nothing terrible in this news. Even more than that: the price of tablets due to an open operating system may be reduced!

#samsung

Samsung, as you probably know, is currently the largest supplier of electronic components for mobile devices Apple. This may seem strange if you remember numerous court proceedings between Apple and Samsung. But there is no alternative yet and sworn friends continue to work together. However, according to the Korea Times publication, from 2013 Samsung will stop supplying LCD screens for an American company. They have already found a replacement for the supplier: in this role LG Corporation will come to the fore.

# communication

On November 1, the Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo will launch a mobile phone call translation service. It is not just about the next translator, but about a free service, thanks to which the translation will be carried out automatically, in real time and completely free. During the conversation, the user not only hears the translation of the phrase of his interlocutor, but also sees the translated text on the phone screen. However, there are two conditions. First, the owner must have a phone on Android OS 2.2 or later. Secondly, you must be an NTT Docomo subscriber.
Remember where free cheese is?

#the Internet

On the Internet market another big deal was made: a group of investors acquires Ancestry.com for $ 1.6 billion. This resource helps users create their genealogical trees. Ancestry lives at the expense of a monthly fee of $ 13 to $ 35 per month. The net profit of the resource in 2011 amounted to more than 300 million dollars.
Resource Russification in the plans of investors is not listed. Apparently, they are afraid that someone from us will find in the ancestors of Peter the Great and will finally cut a window to Europe ...

#training

A training course on the Skyrim role-playing game has appeared at the Rice University in the USA.
