Editoriale | La fine di un’era, l’inizio di un’altra. Come cambierà Apple con Tim Cook al comando?

Steve Jobs si è dimesso da Chief Executive Officer (in italiano amministratore delegato) per diventare Presidente del consiglio di amministrazione di Apple. Con il suo addio al “trono” finisce un’era per l’azienda. Al suo posto arriva il compagno Tim Cook a cui è affidato lo scettro per guidare Apple verso nuovi successi. Ma nel frattempo come cambierà?
Il destino del Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germania si deciderà il prossimo 9 Settembre

Il giudice tedesco della corte di Dusseldorf si è espresso di nuovo sul caso del Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, dopo averne interrotto le vendite temporaneamente sul territorio.
Ascoltate le ragioni e le accuse di entrambe la parti e aver limitato l’ingiunzione solo all’interno dei confini tedeschi, il giudice ha riconosciuto che questa decisione non è definitiva e che l’ultima parola sarà espressa il prossimo 9 Settembre.
Vedremo come andrà a finire anche se, molto probabilmente, si concluderà senza ne vinti ne vincitori reali.

Panasonic Lumix FX90 point-and-shoot packs built-in WiFi, Android / iPhone app compatibility

For many photographers, in-camera WiFi may be an attractive feature before you leave the store, but confusing setup and limited functionality reduce its appeal once you actually go and try to use it. Panasonic sets out to better take advantage of wireless connectivity with its Lumix FX90, adding Android and iPhone app support for transferring pictures and video directly to a mobile device, then uploading them to Lumix Club — a cloud-based photo-sharing service — and on to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. You can also share photos directly from the camera — a dedicated WiFi button launches a menu prompting you to select a sharing service — but app support brings the added benefit of your phone’s data connection. Beyond those new wireless features, the FX90 includes a 12 megapixel CCD sensor, 5x, 24-120mm optical zoom lens, 3-inch touchscreen, and 1080i AVCHD video capture. The FX90 will ship this fall with pricing yet to be announced, but jump past the break for the full rundown from Panasonic in the meantime.
Traktor Kontrol S2 digital DJ system shaves a few inches and bones off its big brother

Look, last year’s Traktor Kontrol S4 was pretty damn awesome but, at $1,000 and about the size of your average Williamsburg DJ, it wasn’t exactly for everyone. That’s where the S2 comes in. Instead of four channels, it’s a “2+1″ setup that supplements the two standard audio ones with a dedicated sample channel. You still get the same high-resolution jog wheels and integrated 24bit / 96kHz sound card, but Native Instruments managed to shave a few inches, pounds and bucks off its predecessor. At $669 it’s much more affordable — still not exactly an impulse purchase, but within the range of most serious hobbyists.
Olympus PEN E-PM1 Mini gets a $500 price tag, September release date

Remember that cute little Micro Four Thirds camera that Olympus unveiled in June? Well, we just got word that the PEN E-PM1 Mini will ship next month, with an equally petite $500 price tag — including a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens. The company is positioning the 12.3 megapixel camera as an upgrade for point-and-shoot users, as “the easiest PEN to use,” thanks to a new, simpler user interface and 23 Scene-Select modes. Still, the E-PM1 is a very capable interchangeable lens camera (ILC), and includes a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD, 1080i HD video capture, RAW shooting and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 12,800, along with Manual, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority shooting modes. The Mini will be available in purple, pink, brown, white, silver, and black — our color of choice. Jump past the break for the full scoop from Olympus.

AMD 990FX motherboards from Asus, ASRock and Gigabyte get rounded up and ranked

HotHardware just herded up a trio of new mainboards equipped with AMD’s 990FX chipset, which will support those famed 8-core Bulldozer-based processorswhen they finally arrive, as well as being compatible with existing Phenom II and Athlon II chips. All the boards had similarly high performance, good connectivity and plenty of overclocking and tweaking potential. However, the $229 Asus CrossHair V Formula inched its way to overall victory thanks to its reliability, attractive build and smart layout. The ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional placed second despite being cheaper at $200 and having richer connectivity, including FireWire and a front-mountable USB 3.0 panel. Finally, the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 lagged behind due to its excessive $250 price tag, a lack of color coding to help guide less experienced builders, plus an ugly and outdated BIOS utility. So, there you have it: if you want to gear up for your next Bulldozer-ready AMD build, the Asus and ASRock 990FX boards are ripe for picking. Check out the source link for the full comparisons and benchmarks.
