Linus Torvald expressing his frustration with NVIDIA
During an interview in Finland, Linus Torvalds who is the man behind the Linux kernel and the excellent Git source-control software, expressed his frustration if not sheer anger with NVIDIA, which he says is “the worst trouble spot” that he ever had to work with, before giving the finger to the camera. [00:49 video in the full post]
Basically, Linus Torvalds is unhappy about the fact that NVIDIA is not supporting Linux enough for his taste (NVIDIA Linux drivers page ). According to him, this is even more infuriating as NVIDIA is going “hot” into the Android handset market, which is Linux-based, which implies that NVIDIA would have a moral obligation to support Linux. This outburst was triggered by a question from a Linux user who noticed that support for some NVIDIA features like Optimus, which switches the GPU on and off to save power, came to Linux very late (thanks to a github project), and that NVIDIA said that they would not support Linux at the same level that they do with other OSes, namely Windows, Android and Mac OS X.
Of course, while this makes for good drama, it is hardly surprising that NVIDIA won’t dedicate to Linux the kind of resources that they put into Windows, Mac OS or Android. There are thousands of software engineers working on Windows alone, so even a company like NVIDIA can’t just snap its fingers and provide great support for yet another OS without using extensive resources.
The NVIDIA Linux driver issue isn’t new. Linux users have been complaining for years about this, and AMD has even tried to fill the gap at some point by releasing open-source drivers. NVIDIA has refused to release an Open-Source driver because they say that it would expose information that is critically important to the company. It’s called “Intellectual Property” and surprisingly, companies who spend more than $500 Million developing a chip want to protect that.
Obviously, whining and gesturing at the camera is one way to go at it, but maybe a more efficient way to do it is to use the competitor’s Linux hardware and driver and let the market forces do their job. And maybe that’s the issue: although Linux is a great platform, the business logic would dictate that NVIDIA has to dedicate its resources towards where they can actually make money: elsewhere.

10 Great Mysteries of the Universe


The world is full of mystery. The important thing we always remember to God.  
Here are 10 great mystery of the world:

1.Antimatter   

 As the evil Superman, Bizarro, the particle (normal matter)also have opposite versions of themselves called antimatter.For example, an electron has a negative charge, but theantimatter positrons have a positive charge. Matter andantimatter annihilate each other when they collide and their mass is converted into energy via Einstein's equation E = mc2.Some futuristic spacecraft designs incorporate antimatter engine 

2.Cosmic Background Radiation

 This radiation is also called the Cosmic MicrowaveBackground (CMB) which is the remnant radiation that occurswhen the Big Bang birth of the universe. First detected in the decade of 1960 as a radio noise that appear scattered throughout the universe. CBM is considered as the most important evidence of the truth of the Big Bang theory.Accurate measurements by the WMAP project showed that the CMB temperature is -455 degreesFahrenheit (-270 Celsius). 

3.Extrasolar planets (Exoplanet).

Until the early 1990s, we only know our own planet in the solar system. However, today astronomers have identified morethan 200 extrasolar planets outside our solar system. Searchthe Earth both seem to have succeeded until now.Astronomers generally believe that better technology is needed to find some of the world as on earth.




4.Neutrino

Neutrinos are elementary particles are massless and uncharged metal that can penetrate the surface.Some of the neutrino is penetrating your body while reading this article. Particles "phantom" was produced in the nucleus of stars and supernova explosions. The detector is placed beneath the surface of the earth, below sea level, or into a large chunk of ice as part of IceCube, a special projectto detect the presence of neutrinos.

5.Mini Black Hole

 If the theory of gravity "braneworld" radically new and provencorrect, then scattered thousands of mini black holes in our solar system, each about the size of the atomic nucleus.Unlike black holes in general, these mini black holes are the remnants of the Big Bang and affect space and time in different ways.  




6.Vacuum energy.

 Quantum physics tells us that contrary to appearances, emptyspace is a bubble made ​​of subatomic particles "virtual" whoare constantly being created and destroyed. The particles that occupy each cubic centimeter of space with a certain energy,based on the theory of general relativity, produces antigravityforce that makes more space to expand. Until now no onereally knows the cause of the universe's expansion. 


7.Gravity Waves

Gravitational waves are distortions fabric of space-time predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The wave propagates in the speed of light, but weak enough so that scientists hope to detect them only through a colossalcosmic events, such as the merging of two black holes as in the picture above. LIGO and LISA are two detectors designedto observe these elusive waves.





8.Dark Matter 

Scientists think that dark matter (dark matter) is the largestconstituent of the universe, but can not be seen and detected directly by current technology. Candidates range from heavyneotrino to invisible black holes. If dark matter really exists,we still must require better knowledge about gravity.






9.Quasar 

Quasar glistened at the edge of the universe that we can see.Quasars release energy equivalent to the energy of hundreds of galaxies combined. It could be that quasars are a very largeblack hole in the hearts of distant galaxies. This image is thequasar 3C 273, which was photographed in 1979. 




10.Collision Between Galaxies.

Apparently each other galaxies can "eat" each other. Even more surprising is the Andromeda galaxy is moving closer toour Milky Way galaxy. The picture above is a simulation ofAndromeda and our galaxy collisions, which will occur in about 3 billion years.





Hopefully this article add your insight! 

3 World's Oldest Trees

This time I will post about a unique and interesting articles. Hope can enhance your knowledge.Usually when the oldest tree in our society are often at the connection between the things mystical.But you can believe it or not, it turns out there are trees older than 4000 years. Woow .. curious?.

This is the third most Old World Tree:

1.Bristlecone Pine 4200 years


Spruce or pine (pine) is a tree of the family Pinaceae that we can find anywhere and anytime as long as the area's sandy calcareous soil, plenty of water or that have a fairly high acidity. We can find thistree starting from Siberia, Scotland, Norway, the Canary Islands, the Philippines, the Himalayas untilall corners of New Zealand, Brazil and Chile.

This tree is famous because in addition to live everywhere also have a very high selling power in thetimber industry. All the pine trees can be used ranging from wood, sap, twigs, seeds until the leaveshave a valuable economic purpose of this commercial really aliasnya tree

Spruce is one of the long-lived tree that can reach the age of about 100-1000 years, and even recordto be the oldest tree in the world through the pine species from the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine(Pinus longaeva) who in 2008 was 4840 years old! This tree is between 30-80 meters high but the average height 15-45 meters. The highest tree species from the Sugar Pine, while the shortest isPotosi Pinyon pine and Siberian Dwarf Pine.


2. Jomon Sugi 2000 - 7000 years 


According to wikipedia, Jomon sugi is Japan's oldest cypress trees found in 1968, with a height of25.3 meters with an estimated volume of 300 cubic meters was between 2000-7200 years YakushimaIsland is located in the northernmost part of Japan's 40 minutes by plane from Kagoshima Airport .

3. Norway Spruce Ione 9550 years.

Only 4 feet tall, but a kind of pine tree, which still lives in Sweden, known 9550 years old. Life since the last ice age, the tree is listed as the oldest in the world today.

  
 Ione Norway spruce species was discovered in 2004. The researchers found around the bushmountains at an altitude of 910 meters in the province of Dalarna, Sweden. This tree is not rarebecause people often use as a Christmas tree.

"He was a very long most likely triggered emampuannya clone yourself," says Leif Kullman, professoreologi and environment at the University of Umea, Sweden. Stems and branches are known to survivefor 600 years. Kullman explained, when the stems die, new stems will be formed from the roots so that his age becomes very long.

This tree is older than Bristlecone pines in the White Mountain California only 5,000 years old. The oldest Bristlecone pines survive only up to 7,500 years but grew towering up to 150 meters. If age is measured from the Bristlecone pine tree on branches that are monitored each year, age is measuredfrom the spruce in Sweden in radiocarbon traces its roots.

Kullman stated that trees older than 9550 years impossible. Therefore, the whole area is still covered with ice the possibility of Sweden at that time.

5 Ways Most Unique In Drawing

Here are some of the extreme and unique ways to paint:
1. Butt Painting

 This painter named Stephen Murmer.Dia an art teacher at a state school Virginia.Tapi he was fired because school officials disagreed with how to paint, on the use (sorry) ass. Stephen abstractpainting by using the butt and sometimes even using their genitals for specific details.

  
2.Breast Painting

This woman came from Tasmania (Australia). He changed the paint brush by using his chest to createan abstract lukisan2. He was inspired to use this technique from the internet. He marked each of his paintings by using the nipples so that his work can not be faked. (so do not use a signature).

   
3.Tongue Painting

Ani K is a teacher from India who uses his tongue to paint. He did so because it was inspired when he saw a man painting by using the feet. Although he suffered from pain in the neck and body by doing so, but he was very pleased, because for such a unique way, he can create a painting that isincredibly beautiful.

  
4.Teeth Painting

Christopher Kuster is an artist who paints by using his teeth.Chris is undergoing treatment since henever had an accident when she swam in 1992. Accidents tersebuat make the left side of his body became paralyzed.
But he should be proud, because even though he was paralyzed, he could make a very beautifulpainting.


   
5. Eyeball Painting 

Xiang Chen is an artist who has an unusual talent. These artists can paint calligraphy under his eyelids. With her ​​eyelids and a little campran art, then be an incredible beautiful paintings.
