News: Intel and TV service ?
This can be good but can be also an easy way to take some new clients.
The big problem is " What will see in this service?".
I don't expect to see something about the secrets of Intel assembly code or development team, but can be something nice.

GNOME Developer Experience Hackfest 2013
This week Red Hat and the GNOME Foundation giving you the chance to attend the Developer Experience hackfest in Brussels.
The goal of the hackfest is to improve the overall application developer experience.
There are three main areas of work we suggest for this hackfest:
- Tooling (Anjuta, Monodevelop, application bundling, intltool, gtk-doc, autofoo and friends...)
- Developer docs and mindshare (unified online/offline API reference UI, app developer community building...)
- Further platform needs (improvement of data-driven apps and other needs with an unclear answer)
- Application bundling and sandboxing, the application as the first class concept in the kernel

The linux command: dmidecode
The linux command dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI.
# dmidecode -h
Usage: dmidecode [OPTIONS]
Options are:
-d, --dev-mem FILE Read memory from device FILE (default: /dev/mem)
-h, --help Display this help text and exit
-q, --quiet Less verbose output
-s, --string KEYWORD Only display the value of the given DMI string
-t, --type TYPE Only display the entries of given type

Vulnerability? google paypal facebook and internal ip
Do you have any idea about an Internal IP Address or a Private IP Address that too assigned for Multinational Companies? Yeah, today we are gonna discuss about Internal IP or Private IP address Disclosure.
Disclosure of an Internal IP like 192.168.*.* or 172.16.*.* , can really Impact? Most security researchers call it as "bull shit" vulnerability. But when it comes to impact calculation even if the server is behind a firewall or NAT, an attacker can see internal IP of the remote host and this may be used to further attacks.

Linux - Fedora and Android make read-only file system.
After I put my USB cable seam Fedora make from write disk to read-only.
Maybe the Android when scan the device set to read-only.
So you can get some error like this when you use the chown command:
chown: changing ownership of ...: Read-only file system
That can be one big problem when you want to copy files on your tablet.I found a solution, just use remount.
# mount -o rw,remount /media/disk
If you want to make read-only, use:# mount -o ro,remount /media/disk
That will solve this issue.

News: Tips and tricks: recursive show images
Also: including a screenshot of each project...
This will be the main issue.
... to see the screenshot from each project
...and also to find a way for any file to use
Let's take the book and source code:
$ git clone git://github.com/MasteringOpenCV/code.git
Go to the main folder: $ cd code and use this:code]$ ls
Chapter1_AndroidCartoonifier Chapter7_HeadPoseEstimation
Chapter2_iPhoneAR Chapter8_FaceRecognition
Chapter3_MarkerlessAR Chapter9_FluidInteractionUsingKinect
Chapter4_StructureFromMotion LICENSE.txt
Chapter5_NumberPlateRecognition README.md
Chapter6_NonRigidFaceTracking
If we use the tree Linux command the result will be:.
|-- Chapter1_AndroidCartoonifier
| |-- Cartoonifier_Android
| | |-- AndroidManifest.xml
| | |-- jni
| | | |-- Android.mk
| | | |-- Application.mk
| | | `-- jni_part.cpp
| | |-- project.properties
| | |-- res
| | | |-- drawable
| | | | `-- icon.png
| | | `-- values
| | | `-- strings.xml
| | `-- src
| | `-- com
| | `-- Cartoonifier
| | |-- CartoonifierApp.java
| | |-- CartoonifierView.java
| | `-- CartoonifierViewBase.java
| |-- Cartoonifier_Desktop
| | |-- CMakeLists.txt
| | |-- ImageUtils.h
| | |-- ImageUtils_0.7.cpp
| | |-- cartoon.cpp
| | |-- cartoon.h
| | `-- main_desktop.cpp
| |-- README.txt
| `-- screenshot.png
|-- Chapter2_iPhoneAR
We need something to find the absolute path and give that to gthumb to run it.First, find the screenshot:
code]$ ls -d $PWD/**/*.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter1_AndroidCartoonifier/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter2_iPhoneAR/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter3_MarkerlessAR/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter4_StructureFromMotion/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter5_NumberPlateRecognition/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter6_NonRigidFaceTracking/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter7_HeadPoseEstimation/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter8_FaceRecognition/screenshot.png
/home/free-tutorials/code/Chapter9_FluidInteractionUsingKinect/screenshot.png
Now will run gthumb with all these images:code]$ ls -d $PWD/**/*.png | xargs gthumb

Linus Torvalds - kernel 3.7 is now out.
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds <at> linux-foundation.org>
Subject: Linux 3.7
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel
Date: 2012-12-11 03:59:50 GMT (9 hours and 45 minutes ago)
Whee. After an extra rc release, 3.7 is now out. After a few more trials at fixing things, in the end we ended up reverting the kswapd changes that caused problems. And with the extra rc, I had decided to risk doing the buffer.c cleanups that would otherwise have just been marked for stable during the next merge window, and had enough time to fix a few problems that people found there too. There's also a fix for a SCSI driver bug that was exposed by the last-minute workqueue fixes in rc8. Other than that, there's a few networking fixes, and some trivial fixes for sparc and MIPS. Anyway, it's been a somewhat drawn out release despite the 3.7 merge window having otherwise appeared pretty straightforward, and none of the rc's were all that big either. But we're done, and this means that the merge window will close on Christmas eve. Or rather, I'll probably close it a couple of days early. For obvious reasons. It's the main commercial holiday of the year, after all. So aim for winter solstice, and no later. Deal? And even then, I might be deep into the glögg. Linus
