Star Wars Angry Birds arrives now on Facebook







If there is one game that made the buzz at the end of the year on mobile and tablet is the latest installment of the saga signed Rovio Angry Birds, Angry Birds Star Wars! Even if we do not know officially sales figures, it is certainly several million copies of Angry Birds Star Wars that are sold and also the best evidence is, at its output 8 last November, the game has reached the top of the App Store in less than 3 hours! So if today everyone has certainly thrown on downloading platforms to acquire the newest Angry Birds, and probably more this weekend with a nice promotion on iPad, as if that was not enough, now angry Birds arrive on Facebook, very strangely Rovio announced with a little tweet ..



You will understand, since today you will be able to play Angry Birds Star Wars directly from your browser on your computer! But to ensure the highest possible visits on this new opportunity to play, Rovio has decided to go further with this release.



In fact, you will find all course levels that have already been successful mobile versions, but Rovio had the great idea to add various bonuses nicer than each other! Here they are:

Clone Bird


As its name suggests, this bonus allows you to get a clone of a bird. Warning, this bonus can only be activated once per level and of course, everything depends on the number of bonus received. This is convenient if usually for the 3 stars it is necessary to use only one of the birds with the Clone Bird, it allows you to use 2 finally.

The Droid Blaster


The Droid Blaster allows you to attach a blaster to each bird, when you launch, conduct shoot laser


The Sling LightSaber


For the LightSaber can benefit from a much more powerful catapult that sends the bird far stronger and more


The Thermal Detonator


The Thermal Detonator lets you set a bomb




So be careful, because if you can get all these bonuses when they are exhausted you will be required to pay to buy credits to purchase these bonuses again! Unfortunately, it seems that it is possible to acquire new loans browsing the game, which is a shame.


Otherwise, the nice thing about the PC version is the social side because anytime you can share your results, invite your friends to play and tell your opponent you just beat his record and the invite them to do even better. Finally, it appears that organized weekly tournament that night, admittedly, can make even more addictive!





In summary, this version of Angry Birds Star Wars computer is very successful and the only regret is the inability to acquire new credits without having to hand the wallet. Come on, now go ahead and it is here that this is happening!

Kenshiro humanoid: A robot with a skeleton aluminum

Kenshiro is a humanoid that is composed of a skeleton made ​​of aluminum. This Japanese robot has been realized with the dimensions of a 12 year old child. It is equipped with muscles reproducing those of a human.



Kenshiro almost looks like a 12 year old boy at his composition. So far this humanoid 158 cm and weighs 50 kg. His face again like a child, but the bones were replaced by an aluminum frame. Scientists from the University of Tokyo experience even pushed a little further including providing the robot 160 muscles via mechanisms. 22 were positioned at the neck, shoulders 12, 50 and 76 in the legs to the trunk. The result is quite impressive and the researchers conducted a small demonstration was filmed.


Fluid motion

Scientists have a clear objective to propose a robot that is closest to the human body. Kenshiro project began in 2010, two years researchers have made significant progress since the robot has been equipped with more muscles and several engines were also added. Certainly, the humanoid approximates the skeleton of a human, but it does not yet have a brain. This prototype is still progress to be made, because it has only 160 to 160 corresponding mechanisms muscles, you should know that man has 639 muscles, Kenshiro is still far from being a dead ringer for humans.
Scientists stand with Kenshiro, because spam usually offer jerky movements. The University of Tokyo is smooth and reproduces the movements of men. For this capability, the researchers were able to adjust the speed of Kenshiro to assign human functions. Kenshiro should not land in stores, according to scientists this project is scientific and they would not intend to develop mass. This humanoid carries us so in some movies like Star Wars C-3PO with or iRobot

E-book: Amazon breath, Apple broke its agreements with four publishers


In the area of ​​e-books, pricing policy should be more flexible. The Cupertino, Apple said it would break its agreements with four publishing houses. The European Union has put an end to the investigation.



Apple was accused of having signed agreements with four publishers (Hachette Livre, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck). The Cupertino company would have heard on prices creating a skewed tariff policy. Several weeks ago, November 7th 2012, the European Union already gave reason for Amazon and Apple put into question. Today, it puts an end to the investigation because an agreement has been found. Thus, Apple and four publishing houses will replace the normal contractual conditions. This will have an impact on the market for e-books as competitors like Amazon will have the opportunity to offer a more flexible tariff range.

Attention to sanction

The outcome of this case has been very well received by the Commissioner for Competition, Joaquin Almunia, "these commitments will restore normal conditions of competition in the market recently and rapidly changing, for the benefit of customers and readers electronic books. "Retailers like Amazon are pleased by this decision. This great victory allows them to perform a discount selling price of e-books, and they have already begun to do.
The European Union also wanted to clarify a point. She wishes to inform companies that do not respect the commitments that the Commission would be able to impose a financial penalty that could reach 10% of global annual turnover. This practice would be implemented without "having to prove any violation of the rules on cartels and abuses of dominant position."
