Las mejores aplicaciones para Android fuera de la Play Store

Para la mayoría de las necesidades es más que suficiente, aunque para los más exigentes tal vez hay mucha basura por la que buscar para conseguir algo decente. Salvo un selecto grupo de las mejores apps que suelen tener cientos de miles de usuarios y han ganado mucha popularidad, las buenas aplicaciones en Android pueden ser difíciles de conseguir debido a el número tan exagerado de clones y apps inservibles que se consiguen en la Play Store.

Cuando nos salimos de los limites del ecosistema de la tienda de Google, las cosas se hacen más complicadas aún. Descargar aplicaciones fuera de la Play Store no es ilegal, pero si requiere mucho cuidado. Nuestro dispositivo Android por defecto no nos permite instalar software de orígenes desconocidos, pero esta limitación puede saltarse de forma muy sencilla simplemente yendo al menú de Ajustes de Seguridad, y activando la opción.

Gamers beat algorithms at finding protein structures

Read past the standard collection of academics, and the final author credited is... an online gaming community. Scientists have turned to games for a variety of reasons, having studied virtual epidemics and tracked online communities and behavior, or simply used games to drum up excitement for the science. But this may be the first time that the gamers played an active role in producing the results, having solved problems in protein structure through the Foldit game. According to a news feature on Foldit, the project arose from an earlier distributed computing effort called Rosetta@home. That project used what has become the standard approach for home-based scientific work: a screensaver that provided a graphical frontend to a program that uses spare processor time to solve weighty scientific problems.

This is typically an energy minimization problem. Starting with algorithms, ending with brains. Skynet meets the Swarm: how the Berkeley Overmind won the 2010 StarCraft AI competition. We’re gathered in a conference room on the Berkeley campus, the detritus of a LAN party scattered around us.

Skynet meets the Swarm: how the Berkeley Overmind won the 2010 StarCraft AI competition

The table is covered with computers and pizza, and there’s a game of StarCraft projected on the screen. Oriol Vinyals, a PhD student in computer science, is commanding the Terran army in a life-or-death battle against the forces of the Zerg Swarm. Oriol is very good—one-time World Cyber Games competitor, number 1 in Spain, top 16 in Europe good. But his situation now is precarious: his goliath walkers are holding off the Zerg’s flying mutalisks, but they can’t be everywhere at once. The Zerg player is crafty, retreating in the face of superior firepower but never going far, picking off targets of opportunity and applying constant pressure. Then Oriol makes a mistake. Oriol makes a desperate, last-ditch attack on the Zerg base, trying to break through before the mutalisks are reinforced, but it’s too late. There's a palpable air of celebration in the room; even Oriol is grinning.
