2012 Silverstone Classic

2012 Silverstone Classic:

Its organizers maintain that the Silverstone Classic (July 20-22, 2012) is the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival and, going by the success of last year’s event with a total of 1104 race entries and 80,000 in attendance, it’s a pretty strong claim.

The wide ranging races will feature no less than 100 Grand Prix cars as well as spectacular Le Mans, GT, Group C, the Jaguar E-Type Challenge and new races for both F5000 and F2 cars that will be named after the late Peter Gethin, who died last December.

Also honoured will be car entrant Alan Mann whose distinctive red and gold liveried saloons and sports cars were an essential part of the UK’s and Europe’s racing scene in the Sixties.

The popular Morgan one-make fund raising race will take center spotlight as well and, yes, that is Sir Patrick Stewart, aka Jean-Luc Picard, posing for pictures as he will be racing at Silverstone next July. He told me that his only previous competitive drive had been at Long Beach “some time ago” although he admitted at not being terribly quick.

I hitched a ride for a few slippery laps in Alex Bell’s gorgeous Bizzarini, one of only two right-had-drive models made and fresh from a six-figure Sterling rebuild.
Although the drizzle had eased off by the time we were on track, it was viciously slippery and every time Alex planted his right foot the rear end broke traction. Heroics, I am glad to say, weren’t the order of the day but, even so, Alex worked up quite a sweat keeping the Italian car tame.

HTC One X Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Kernel Source Code Download Available Now

HTC One X Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Kernel Source Code Download Available Now:
The Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich kernel source code for HTC One X is finally available for download. HTC makes this code available on the day the One X is released on AT&T. The HTC One X comes pre-installed with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The code files can now be downloaded from the HTC Dev Center.

Only recently HTC launched it’s latest One line of Android powered smartphones. The HTC One X is greatest of them all. Initial reviews about this device have been positive and it surely looks like HTC has hit a home run with the One X. The device was first announced on February 26th at the Mobile World Congress 2012. As previously mentioned, HTC One X is the flagship device of One series. It’s powered by Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC Sense 4.0.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is Google’s latest version of it’s mobile operating system. The internet search giant hasn’t had much luck with this major update as currently less than 2% of all Android devices in the world are capable of running this update. That is largely due to compatibility issues. The first device to run on this software was Google’s very own Nexus S. The One X comes pre-installed with this software and does a pretty good job of running it without any noticeable glitches.
Earlier today HTC One X officially became available on AT&T. Those who reside in the USA can get the One X from AT&T if they want, it’s available from a wide variety of other carriers as well. Now HTC has released kernel source code for One X. The kernel source code is available for many network carriers as well as regions. Networks include T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange etc to name a few. It should be noted that the AT&T HTC One X Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich kernel source code is not available just yet.
Recently it was reported that HTC’s official Bootloader Unlock tool does not work with AT&T HTC One X. The company responded in a statement saying that restrictions of certain devices don’t allow them to participate in the bootloader unlocking program. Restrictions don’t mean that the AT&T HTC One X has some kind of a hardware anomaly, it’s highly likely that AT&T does not want it’s device to be a part of bootloader unlocking program.
Nevertheless if you have a HTC One X on a network other than AT&T in any other region, go and get the Ice Cream Sandwich kernel source code from HTC Developer Center.

Toshiba announces the Dynabook Satellite T772/W5TF

Toshiba announces the Dynabook Satellite T772/W5TF:
The latest addition to the Dynabook range of Satellite laptops by Toshiba has been announced, it will be the T772/W5TF as 17.3 inch machine with a 2.30 GHz Intel Core i7-3610QM processor, the Intel HM76 Express Chipset and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card. This is a high end laptop but not necessarily aimed at the gamer market, it looks like a machine that has been designed for consumers who looking for high quality and are not afraid of paying for it, hence the steep $1,900 price tag.

So maybe it’s time to take a closer look at this interesting and costly laptop, the Dynabook Satellite T772/W5TF offers a large 17.3 inch wide LCD (16:9) HD + TFT colour Clear SuperView LED (LED backlight power saving) display with a 1600 × 900 of pixel resolutions and built in web camera too.
It will be powered by the Intel Core i7-3610QM third generation processor with up to 3.30 GHz maximum operating frequency supporting the Intel HM76 Express Chipset and the graphics coming from the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card.

There is 8 GB of memory made up by 2 x 4 GB units but this can go up to 16 GB of PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) with a bit of moving around. There is a mice sized 750 GB hard disk drive (HDD) with 5,400 rpm, support Serial ATA and of course there is the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless kit installed. The laptop measures 28.0 mm to 33.7 mm (H) × 272.2 mm (D) 418.2 mm (W) and weighs in at around three kilos even with the battery pack installed.
It does not seem to be much for the money, in fact, a laptop with similar specs can be bought somewhat cheaper, but as the consumer will say, it’s not a Toshiba and for some buyers it seems that a brand name is worth a little bit extra.
