  • The $25 Educational PC 5 May 2011, by Katie Gatto
    The $25 educational PC 5 May 2011, by Katie Gatto These small PC's, which would cost about $25 a unit, would be able to be furnished to each student, and have courses structured around their use. You may be wondering what kind of hardware students will be able to get for that cost? As it turns out, the offerings are pretty solid. The system features a 700MHz ARM11 processor, which is paired with 128MB of RAM. The system runs OpenGL ES 2.0, which will allow it to have a decent level of graphics performance. The system is already confirmed to have 1080p output. An SD card slot provides storage for this unit. This computer will be distributed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which promotes computer science education in schools. There is no final word on when the devices will be available, but its developer hopes to be shipping them out in the next 12 months. (PhysOrg.com) -- Have you ever played Elite? More information: -- www.raspberrypi.org/ What about games in the Rollercoaster Tycoon -- BBC series, Thrillville, Lost Winds, or Kinectimals? If so, then you have enjoyed the work of David Braben. Mr. Braben is a fairly well known video game © 2010 PhysOrg.com designer, he also runs the UK development studio Frontier Developments, but soon he may be known as much for his hardware as he is for his software. Mr. Braben has developed a very small USB stick PC that has an HDMI port in one end and a USB port on the other. The machine, which runs on a version of Linux, is designed to help get programming and the general knowledge of how computers work back into the educational curriculum.

  • Frontier Developments Launches Elite: Dangerous – Wings
    Frontier Developments launches Elite: Dangerous – Wings Free major gameplay update brings players together in the Elite: Dangerous galaxy Cambridge, UK. 13 March, 2015. Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) this week launched the second major update for Elite: Dangerous, free to all players. Wings is a new way to play Elite: Dangerous with friends, uniting players in four-player groups with enhanced ways to communicate and work together to share in the galaxy’s rewards. With Wings, players can form a four-person group using the Comms panel on their in- cockpit user interface. Players flying with wingmen share ship data with the wing, including hull and shield statuses, positions and current targets. All wingmen participating in a successful attack on a Wanted NPC or player will share in the bounty, and ships can be set to automatically follow a wingman in and out of Super Cruise or Frame Shift faster-than-light travel by slaving their drive to another in the group. Wings supports every player, whether trading, exploring or fighting to get ahead in Elite: Dangerous’ cutthroat galaxy. Cooperative wings can be formed in Private Group mode where players are matched only with friends, or Open Play where all players are connected in the same massively multiplayer galaxy. But the galaxy is prepared for the increased capabilities of a coordinated wing. New signal sources will present players with larger, deadlier encounters against stronger forces, encouraging close cooperation and teamwork to share in the high-priced bounties on offer. Wings also adds two new playable ships. The Zorgon Peterson Fer De Lance is a sleek and deadly ship built for combat, and a conspicuous craft for the galaxy’s wealthiest pilots.
