Angry Birds Added 15 New Levels For iOS Users

New version of Angry Birds 2.2 hit on the market recently with additional 15 new levels for iPhone & iPad users causing propelling challenges for the game lovers. This newly included section is comprised of 15 surf & turf levels where you are required to sling shot angry birds at the miserable pigges. These newly added levels of version 2.2 are easy in initial levels then become difficult as you move on with your game.

  

However, the catch of the game is power-ups that Rovio has engrossed into the new levels i.e “Birdquake”, ‘Sling Scope’ & ‘King Sling’, to name a few. Moreover Rovio has also promised to provide its iOS users with free power-ups everyday if they will upgrade their game on the new version of 2.2 which is available for the users at the meager cost of $0.99 for iPhone and $2.99 for the iPad users. In addition, this newly introduced HD version 2.2 of angry birds is not only loaded with more fun but also supports retina display of new iPad. Lastly, bare in mind, these updates and upgrades are for iOS users only but Android users would also get their hands on the latest surf & turf levels in real time soon.

Install Drupal 7.15 On Ubuntu 12.10/12.04/11.10/Linux Mint 13

Drupal 7.15 has been released recently which comprises some bug fixes and no significant features have been added to this latest release. You can go here to view the changelog for Drupal 7.15. As a reminder, Drupal is a popular cms (content management system) written in PHP that allows to facilitate content creation for small or middle sized business.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Drupal 7.15 on Ubuntu 12.10/12.04/11.10 or older, and any Ubuntu-based system like Linux Mint 13 or older.

LAMP Web Server Installation

To be able to run Drupal on Ubuntu or Linux Mint, we need firstly to install a web server comprising Apache, PHP, and MySQL. The simplest one is LAMP which can be installed with this command from the terminal:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

During the installation, you will be asked to submit a new MySQL root password. This password will be used to login to your MySQL server later on. For more information about installing the LAMP web server on Ubuntu, click here.

Drupal 7.15 Installation

Let's now install Drupal with these commands from the terminal:

sudo apt-get install php5-gd


cd /tmp && wget -O drupal-7.15.tar.gz http://goo.gl/FrgSZ


sudo tar -xzvf drupal-7.15.tar.gz -C /var/www/


sudo mv /var/www/drupal-7.15 /var/www/drupal


sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/drupal/


sudo su


cd /etc/apache2/sites-available


sed 's/www/www\/drupal/g' default > drupal


a2ensite drupal


sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Creating A MySQL Database For Drupal

You can do this with phpMyAdmin or via the terminal as follows (use your MySQL root password to login to your MySQL server):

mysql -p


create database drupal;


CREATE USER 'drupal'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '12345';


grant all privileges on drupal.* to drupal@localhost;


exit

The commands given above will create the following MySQL details:

Database name:      drupal
Database user:        drupal
database password:  12345  (can be changed to any password of your choice)

The last step is to start the installation of Drupal via your web browser. To do this, open one of these two links (replace 127.0.01 or localhost with your own server IP address if needed):

http://127.0.0.1/drupal

or

http://localhost/drupal

Then follow setup instructions. At the "Database configuration" page, enter the MySQL details given above:

If the installation is successful, you may see this home page:

Download Linux Kernel 3.6 Release Candidate 1

Linux kernel 3.6 RC1 brings mostly updated drivers, but it also contains ARM/X86/PowerPC/MIPS/tile/m68k fixes, as well as filesystem and networking improvements.

"Anyway, on to the stuff merged. As usual, even the shortlog is too big to usefully post, but there's the usual breakdown: about two thirds of the changes are drivers (with the CSR driver from the staging tree being a big chunk of the noise - christ, that thing is big and wordy even after some of the crapectomy)." - said Linus Torvalds in the email announcement.
