Samsung launches red Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Android tablet for $219.99

posted a few weeks back about a report that Samsung was preparing a Valentine's Day gift in the form of a red Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet, and today, the company has officially launched that slate in what it's calling "garnet red." Unfortunately, while there's a new color option, the specs haven't been updated from the original Tab 2 7.0, which is also available in silver. The 7-inch tablet (with a screen resolution of 1,024x600) runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean using a dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP CPU and includes just 8GB of storage. It does include a handy built-in IR blaster to turn the Tab into a remote control for your TV.

Python for Kids helps adults teach programming to youth

Computer programming can be a fun hobby, as I learned when I programmed Apple II computers last century. Back then, I'd lie on my bed and dream up some educational game, then run over to my Apple //c to bring the game to life. Sometimes in less than two hours I could go from raw idea to working prototype. The most fun part was sharing the programs I created with friends and having them suggest improvements.

How to log the correct Ip having Varnish and Nginx

  • Linuxaria.com (Posted by linuxaria on Jan 31, 2013 1:06 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Tutorial
When you run a webserver behind a reverse proxy or HTTP accelerator such as Varnish, the webserver access logs will display the IP of the proxy (generally 127.0.0.1) instead of the end user’s IP. This is a problem when you have a software like webalizer, awstats or similar log file analysis program, because you lose one of the most important information: “Who is the requestor of a page ?”, also having all the access coming from the same IP (127.0.0.1) you lose information such as “what’s the browsing pattern of visitors ?” “Is someone trying to do something Nasty ?” In this small how-to I’ll show how to put this information back on your Nginx log files in 2 different ways.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Review

  • Big Picture Big Sound; By Chris Chiarella (Posted by Fettoosh on Jan 30, 2013 7:34 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: Reviews; Groups: ARM, Tablets
There are tablets and seven-inch tablets and portable devices that wear their Android affiliation on their sleeve, but Samsung has gone and combined the best of all that has come before and pushed it someplace decidedly newer and better with their new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. As the name will tell, the two models in this line represent a second generation of Samsung's popular Galaxy Tab, and the 7.0 iteration we tried affirms the evolution away from the ten-inch range and toward a more compact, increasingly common seven-inch screen size that is more affordable and generally easier to handle. (For those who prefer the larger form factor, Samsung does also offer a 10.1-inch second-gen model.)

New Linux Brings Spark to Debian

A new distribution popped up on my radar last month when it was added to the Distrowatch.com database. It probably helped that its newest release was codenamed "GameOver" and featured lots and lots of games. Yesterday its team released 2.1 "Eris" Ultra. GameOver was a pretty cool release. It looked tough, but beyond that and its impressive list of games, it also featured Desura for Linux, Steam beta for Linux, and Wine & PlayOnLinux. It used LXDE on top of a Debian Wheezy base and shipped with codecs and plugins for full multimedia enjoyment, but opted for Nouveau NVIDIA graphics drivers.
