		 volevo aggiornarvi su questo computer VERTEX CEREBRA secondo me da tenere in considerazione, ho mandato una mail alla casa madre VERTEX e mi hanno risposto che ancora non si ha una data certa di rilascio perché stanno ultimando gli ultimi test in modo che sia perfetto per l'uscita sul mercato ma....diciamo che come data si pensa in concomitanza alla fiera..... mi hanno mandato anche il contatto facebook dal quale ho scaricato queste notizie che riporto di seguito con le varie caratteristiche tecniche....se davvero sarà così all'uscita, questo sarà un gran prodotto.... 
 
Vertex AquaristikTM announces the launch of beta test phase of Cerebra 
Cologne, Germany—February 17th, 2011—VertexTM revolutionary Cerebra will be released to beta testers before the end of March. Twenty testers have been carefully chosen to assist with field trials after extensive in-house evaluations and debugging of the firmware. 
“This process has been set in place to further collect input from users working with the production model Cerebra. We have had many aquarists involved with this project in the past 2 years however it was important to us to go through this last step prior to release.” Said Andreas Schneider, CSO of VertexTM Technologies of Austria. 
Vertex AquaristikTM has decided to once again shift perspective from the industry-norms and boldly pursue their vision of an “Aquarium Controller”. In which simple commands of switch on/switch off and timer cycles are entirely replaced with a new concept and mentality of “Collect, process and act”. A complete simulated cyber environment interlinked with your system, operated by task specific dedicated apps, possibly created by the very user. 
Welcome to V-CYBER SPACE. 
Aquarist will no longer be bound by a few simple bench marks such as photoperiod and or acceptable PH range. Introduction of complete autochthonous ecological simulation will enable the creator to duplicate the conditions of specimen’s true habitat in real life. 
Another distinct aspect of Cerebra is to create a virtual network of aquarist that allows free flow of information, techniques and or methods. For years the best source of information on aquatic knowledge has been a handful of Internet forums. As valuable as they have been the evolution is here. 
Imagine designing a species specific breeding station for fish, inverts or any other specimen to be as easy as downloading an app to mimic the environment at which the said animal breeds and thrives. Would it be periodic thermal deviations, photoperiod, flow, concentration of food and nourishments... 
Imagine trouble shooting your favorite brand of skimmer by watching a video on how to accomplish this task only a few centimeters away from the said device. 
Imagine..., or simply experience all that though Cerebra. 
We invite all users to further enrich the VertexTM virtual community with new insights by sharing thoughts, know-hows and knowledge, or in short; by writing apps. One can say; the aquarium hobby has finally claimed its place in the cyber space.
