Enhance The Experience of Logitech Keyboards and Mice on Linux
Just brought the Logitech Corded Wave keyboard, which is very comfortable and great (As long as one can ignore the ugly windows/internet explorer/msn messenger symbols printed on some of its keys).
The keyboard has many extra keys, like the function keys, a dedicated zoom in/out keys and more. The problem is that they don’t work on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 in my case) out of the box, which is a little sad.
Fortunately, I found a simple solution in the internet, and now I can use all the features of the keyboard. The following solution can be used for almost all models of Logitech keyboards and mice.
Amdahl’s Law in the Multicore Era – Video
A great video by Google Techtalks, with neat analysis of different multicore architectures (symmetric cores, asymmetric cores and dynamic techniques for cores “cooperation”) with respect to programs’ parallelism
Computer Hardware in Plain English – Video
I have an exam in 2 days on Comuter Architecture. I’m not sure that this kind of video is going to help me pass the exam 
.
Anyway, it’s a very nice (and very very basic) introduction to computer hardware.
