Comment: it is not surprise at all I have been fascinated with the aesthetics of The Hathaway Family Plot for a while because every step by a Buffalo, US-based artist called Kevin McFadden is worth to be parsed and thought off. It is interesting and intriguing. In comparison to his previous albums he used to incorporate new elements and axial aspects to the mix and making it in the way to change the paradigm being set out by him previously. The current 14-notch issue is overwhelmed by stomping noises, designed deranged noise sculptures (Dymaxion; Not Gonna Leave), gentle yet uncanny improvisations of having neither time nor space and some mutilated vocal lines and if to compare it to the artist previous issue Having No Alternative it is more inclined to be a successor of No Wave music and the aesthetic of beatniks. Its purpose is to to be set free from oppressive conventions and annoying traditions being an effect of a society of having no future and certain plan to transcend recent economic and survival understanding. At least it seems so while Kevin McFadden likes to manipulate with it and finally destroy it by deconstructing it into something new and challenging. Indeed, one part of the whole it is made up of thought-provoking sounds but the rest of it reveals a huge emotional impact on ones weary sensations and resigned soul. It can be concluded it is ultimately a positive plan to be set out for the sake of all of us. Indeed, by listening to the whole I can imagine it as if a sonic counterpoint of a beatnik text being converted into. But it does not mean the artist dislikes silent moments. For instance, Elegy for Thomas Kincaid The Younger (1661-1726) is a sublime number of a droning organ and a dense harmonica (?). However, The Locks reminds of the art of Robert Wyatt. In general, Mechanics In The Age Of Artistic Reproduction is a fine outing which is a chapter along the path paved by Kevin McFadden. Alarms are up there everywhere but we need more and more surprises to cope with them. Digital simulacra and the simulacra of real life are just nugatory objects to deceive himself/herself thoroughly. It is not the solution at all.

The mini PC comes of age

The mini PC comes of age



Nearly four years ago the world was introduced to the MK802, an Android stick originally billed as:

http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/109762760.html


and so the mini PC was born.

Although it used an Allwinner A10 processor capable of a maximum speed of 1.5 GHz it was clocked at 1 GHz. Immediately attention turned to running Linux on the device but because Android took over half of the 4 GB of available storage Linux had to be booted from a micro SD card that was supported by the included T-Flash card slot.

Performance was dreadful as this early video of Ubuntu 10.04 shows even though it was optimistically talked up at the time:

Almost immediately an upgraded model, the MK802+, was released with 1 GB of memory. Then came the MK802 II which defined the form-factor we are familiar with today including a full-size HDMI connector located at one end of the device and a side located full-sized USB port.


Since then the mini PC has evolved using more powerful ARM processors to most recently with the introduction of Intel processors. From a Linux perspective the Intel processors were welcomed because they overcame the restrictive shortfall of lack of HD graphics due to closed source drivers.

Three years ago I started benchmarking the performance on mini PCs running Ubuntu and the performance improvement since then has been dramatic. It can best be seen by comparing the first MK802+ against the latest mini PC, Intels Core M Compute Stick, the STK2M3W64CC:


First the system information:


Next a performance comparison using my standard set of benchmarking tests from the Phoronix Test Suite run on Ubuntu:


Which when viewed graphically highlight the magnitude of improvement:


As further comparison the following is a re-enactment of the above MK802+ video using the STK2M3W64CC:

It is with this latest evolution that the mini PC has come of age.
