  • Xen hypervisor ported to ARM chips • The Register

    Open Source software is a good barometer by which to measure the ‘interest’ or adoption rate of some chip architectures. The availability of a Xen Hypervisor for the ARM15 is a good sign that some folks have development boards on which to compile the software for the virtualization software (Xen). Considering this then, hopefully more…

  • Disruptions: Wearing Your Computer on Your Sleeve – NYTimes.com

    Ubiquitous computing, One Laptop per Child, Wearable Computers, the iPod Touch, the iPad and now the iPhone all descendants in a long lineage of predictions about the Future of Computing. But the newest wrinkle (pun intended) is the topic of ‘wearable’ computers. Given how portable and powerful smart phones are these days, why do we…

  • The PC is dead. Why no angry nerds? :: The Future of the Internet — And How to Stop It

    In the old telephone dial-up, modem pool days there were a lot of people re-selling their data connections to provide on-ramps to the Information Superhighway. Now that’s about all you can drive on is the Superhighway. All the back streets and side roads are slowly kind of being ignored by the more popular social networking…

  • AnandTech – Intel and Micron IMFT Announce Worlds First 128Gb 20nm MLC NAND

    There’s a point of diminishing return for Flash memory where further shrinking the chips makes them less and less durable over time. Which has led me to believe there’s a ‘plateau’ of size/durability that will soon be reached by most Flash memory manufacturers. However Intel’s deep reserve of research in silicon semiconductors is helping lead…

  • Samsung: 2 GHz Cortex-A15 Exynos 5250 Chip

    Like during the Cold War, there’s always a technology arms race going on in the background. This arms race literally is between licensees of ARM Holdings Inc. ARM cpu architecture. Samsung vs. Apple and now Samsung is starting up work using the latest ARM Cortex A15 cpu. While there are some interesting new features available…

  • Super Tiny Computer Puts Android on Your TV, Laptop-with a side of Raspberry Pi

    Early this year we got to see, through ARM-powered devices such as the Motorola Atrix, that it doesnt take even a netbook to run basic computing functions. At a live demonstration in New York City, FXI Technologies showed off the next evolution of that idea: an ARM-based computer on a USB stick without any of…

  • AnandTech – Applied Micros X-Gene: The First ARMv8 SoC

    While everyone was focusing on the ARM v.7 (current generatation) chip architecture, APM has been focused on the 64bit ARM v.8 which promises to herald a new era of low power with Server level features. By estimates made in the article APM has a 1 year lead on any other current licensees of ARM designs.…

  • Expect the First Windows 8 Snapdragon PC Late 2012

    To have a really competitive tablet computer you need to have a really good battery and a very conservative cpu with a low TDP (Thermal Design Power). The reason is a tablet is even more portable than the old Portable PC. No one wants to hookup to a power adapter just to get through the…

  • Fusion plays its card: The Ten of Terabytes • The Register

    It seems like every time competitors in the PCIe SSD market start to reach performance and density parity, Fusion-io creates a new product that raises the bar a little bit higher. Witness the king of the PCIe density race, the new 10TByte Fusion-io PCIe SSD. Read On:
