Un PUG, un MUST – “No es otro Egoblog”.
Lithium Ion batteries 10 times longer with nanotechnology
While reading gas2.org I found out about a research held at Stanford University that made it possible increasing the capacity of lithium-ion batteries by 10 through usage of silicon nanowires.
Yi Cui, who was the head of the research team says: “Given the mature infrastructure behind silicon, this new technology can be pushed to real life quickly.”
This is good news. Lithium-ion batteries are used widely nowadays and such a boost in their capacity due to nanotechnological achievements would probably help arise of lots of applications in different fields like energy storage, mobile device batteries, electric-powered automobiles etc.
They managed to increase the capacity of batteries by storing lithium inside tiny silicon nanowires. As they soak up, lithium nanowires inflate four times their normal size but unlike other shapes, they don’t fracture.

60ların Braun ürünlerinden Apple’in geleceğine
Rjcp, gizmododa yazılmış bu yazıyı yollamış:
1960s Braun Products Hold the Secrets to Apple’s Future– tavsiye ederim.
60’ların Dieter Rams imzalı Braun tasarımlarıyla günümüz Apple ürünlerinin tasarımları arasındaki dikkat çekici benzerliklerin altı çizilmiş.
Zamanında “Dieter Rams üzerine” diye kısa bir ileti yazmıştım. 20.yüzyılın en önemli ürün tasarımcılarından biri olan Rams’ı tanımayanlar için bir başlangıç noktası olabilir ve Apple firmasının tasarım felsefesini etkileyen prensiplerin bir kısmını belki hatırlamış olursunuz.

eKitaplar acaba daha mı ucuz?
Sony Reader elektronik kitap okuyucu sahibi ve kitapsever Brian Hewitt blogunda Sony’nin e-kitap dükkanında satılan sanal kitaplar ile Amazon.com‘da aynı kitapların kağıt versiyonlarının satış fiyatlarını karşılaştırmış.
Fiyat karşılaştırma listesini onun blogunda görebilirsiniz. Çok satan ya da yeni piyasaya çıkmış kitaplardan oluşturduğu listenin maliyeti amazon’da 164$ iken, kitapların sanal versiyonları sadece 11$ daha ucuza gelmiş. Sony Reader kitap okuyucusu için yaptığı harcamayı dikkate alınca sistemin kendisini amorti etmesi için 21875$ lik kitap alişverişi yapması gerekecekmiş…
Her ne kadar Brian’ın araştırması geniş kapsamlı olmasa bile geniş kitlelerin henüz e-kitap okuyucusu almasını engelleyecek bir kaç sebebi ortaya koyduğu aşikar… Yayıncılık dünyasının da bu konuda elini oldukça ağırdan aldığını düşünüyorum. Ağaç kesmeye meraklıyız…
make gDesklets work on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 64bit
I am happily using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop which came with Vista as the default OS. If this is your case, don’t hesitate and get rid of Vista!!! I am sure either Ubuntu or some other linux distro like Pardus, which is also great, would yield better results on your computer than Vista…
(I have to mention that the amazing blog called “Ubuntu on Dell Inspiron 1501“, created by redDEAD, is the unique one stop guide on installing Feisty Fawn 64bit on Inspiron 1501. It helped me a lot in overcoming some small issues like making Beryl work and so on.)
Anyways, until yesterday I was having an issue with gdesklets which was not working at all. Although I don’t really fancy so much eyecandy stuff, they don’t really harm anyone and I like trying them for sake of saying that I tried it and reporting it to my friends like RJCP and Martin Mystere… Basically, it is not a to be or not to be situation for me.
Like lots of people having Ubuntu installed on their 64bit processor PCs I was having that problem which was the gdesklet installing correctly without indicating any dependency problems or so but crashing without even able to load the list of desklets available when I started it. The log file was not giving any clue for Linux dummies like I am!!!
But suddenly Dizzi appeared with a solution that made gDesklet work and he published it on the Ubuntu bug forums where he uploaded a tweaked package of gDesklets: gDesklets on AMD64 Feisty will not start/work – Dizzi’s proposition
This package solved my problem and it works perfectly. It is worth trying. Meanwhile I will start populating the StarterBar and find out if some gadgety desklet else that might add some spice and funcionality on my Ubuntu desktop.
