Open Your Electronics
Is the fan on your laptop loud? Is your desktop computer running slow? Do you have an old phone you don’t use because the headphone jack is busted or the screen is broken? Our electronics aren’t as fragile or as mysterious as we’ve been told — open them up. Take a screwdriver, and open them up. Just try it.

Diamonds are said to be a girl’s best friend, and it turns out that they could be a pretty strong ally in everyone’s dental health – although don’t go racing to Tiffany’s just yet, as these diamonds are so small, they are invisible to the naked eye. In yet another case of ‘tiny but mighty’ it is the time for nanodiamond to take to the (microscope) stage. Often overshadowed in the nanotechnology world by its siblings, carbon nanotubes and graphene, dusty fragments of diamond have now found a use in the world of dentistry.

Así luce MakuluLinux aero editon en su versión final. Podemos observar que el escritorio Cinnamon ha sido modificado para parecerse mucho al escritorio Aero que tenía Windows 7
El desarrollador Jaques Montange Raymer ha anunciado la disponibilidad de la versión final de MakuluLinux Aero Edition. Éste sistema operativo está basado en la última versión LTS de Ubuntu y lleva el escritorio Cinnamon 2.6
La principal función de ésta distribución es la de atraer a nuevos usuarios a Linux y de hacer que se sientan algo más cómodos. Para ello se basa en un tema de Cinnamon que imita la interfaz de Windows 7 Aero(de ahí el nombre), lo cual aunque a algunos no os guste nada que tenga que ver con Windows, si que puede servir para que las personas que están empezando con Linux puedan trabajar de manera más cómoda.
El desarrollo de éste sistema ha sido largo(casi 40 versiones beta a lo largo de un año y otras versiones como la de Unity), pero creo que es una propuesta bastante interesante éste sistema operativo. No solo estamos ante una interfaz copia de Windows, sino que estamos ante un sistema operativo estable y que trae instaladas aplicaciones muy interesantes que no suelen venir en ningún sistema por defecto.
Para los que seáis muy haters de Windows, recordaros que estamos en Linux y que siempre podemos cambiar de escritorio y usar uno que no se parezca en nada al sistema de Microsoft.
Para su descarga, acudiremos a la página oficial del proyecto,donde tendremos una imagen Iso de 32/64 bits descargable por Sourceforge, Google Drive, Mega y Bittorrent.

How Fast Can We Transition to a Low-Carbon Energy System?
Any long-term solution to climate change will require “decarbonizing” the world energy economy — that is, shifting to power sources that use little or no fossil fuel. How fast can this happen, and what could we do to accelerate this shift?
