And this means trouble for Larry Ellison and Oracle.

Gundam Online (JP) - New Alpha trailers

Posted: 21 Jul 2012 05:01 AM PDT


Look, Gundam Online isn't as big as Sony's PlanetSide 2 in terms of players on a single map, but having 100 mechas on the same map is enough to make it the "biggest" game in Gundam's history. Announced last year (link), the game is still currently in its Alpha test phase in Japan. Gamers will take on the role of a mobile suit pilot, either Earth Federation or Zeon forces, in the setting which took place during The One Year War (first Gundam anime). But do expect certain units from outside the timeline to appear though.


There are various modes in the Gundam Online, but the 52 Vs 52 (marketed as 100) map will of course be the main attraction. Players will be able to customize their own units and combat will take place on land and in the skies. I wonder if there will be underwater combat as well...



Raspberry Pi Gets Chromium Port

Posted: 21 Jul 2012 05:01 AM PDT

On Thursday, British hacker Liam McLoughlin, more popularly known by his nom de plume Hexxeh, announced the release of a Raspberry Pi port of the open-source Chromium browser. The talented hacker, whose highly fruitful association with Chromium OS dates back to its very inception, has been busy playing around with the Raspberry Pi ever since he got hold of one back in April. This release of Chromium for Raspberry Pi Beta is a testament to all his hard work.

The Chromium binaries released by Hexxeh on Thursday are strictly meant for Raspberry Pis running Raspbian OS, with the young hacker telling all others "running Squeeze or anything that isn't hardfp" to not even think about installing Chromium. Further, he recommends that interested parties take the trouble of overclocking their Pis before running Chromium.

"Whilst it's not required, using the 224MB memory split, overclocking your Pi and using a fast USB stick or SD card for your root filesystem will improve your browsing experience," Hexxeh wrote in a post on his blog. "I've had the RaspberryPi.org blog frontpage load in as little as 5 seconds by combining all three of these. With that said, let's get started."

"If you're closer to Europe than the US, type this into a shell: bash <(curl -sL http://goo.gl/5vuJI). If you're closer to the US than Europe, type this into a shell: bash <(curl -sL http://goo.gl/go5yx). Let that command run for a while. It'll download about 35MB and probably take a while to do it's thing. Once it's finished, you can launch Chromium by typing: chrome –disable-ipv6."

While this is a decent start, Hexxeh's ultimate aim is to port Chromium OS to the credit card-sized Raspberry Pi.
