  • Single-chip DIMM offers low-power replacement for sticks of RAM | ExtremeTech

    Covering the evolution off desktop commodity computer technologies has been fun going back to the days of Computer Shopper. I used to look at all the different specs, and standards and technologies. We’ve gotten faster CPUS, graphics cards, PCI buses, hard drives and now Solid state disks instead of hard drives. What’s left to innovate?…

  • Angelbird Now Shipping SSD RAID Card for 800 MB/s

    At first I had great doubts of a product seeing market. Angelbird pronounced a product that wasn’t yet shipping in Oct. of last year. At long last 11 months later they have shipping product to announce. Here now is the PCIe based SSD from Angelbird. Read On:

  • Why keeping up with RSS is poisonous to productivity, sanity (NOT)

    Too often people want to blame the victim for what’s happened to them. This too extends to technologies as varied as the Apple Newton or now Really Simple Syndication. The problem as stated in the Ars Technica article is that RSS is another inbox needing to be cleared. And I argue RSS is not the…

  • OCZ Launches PCIe-Based HDD/SDD Hybrid Drive

    As OCZ attempts to innovate even faster, they’re bringing to market interesting niche products that create whole new product classes. PCIe Flash drives have been cranking out the jams, tearing up the charts especially those branded by Fusion-io. OCZ has also brought a number of PCIe flash-only drives to market with better and better performance…

  • Augmented Reality Maps and Directions Coming to iPhone

    Apple is planning it’s own mapping app for the iOS based devices, and is filing some interesting patents that might help differentiate the Apple Maps from Google Maps. What would be the value-add? Why Augmented Reality of course. Read On:

  • ARM vet: The CPUs future is threatened • The Register

    Many people have predicted the demise of Moore’s Law, only to have a new process or technology rush in to save the day. Current tools are variations on a theme started in the 1960s by Shockley, Fairchild, Intel and have continued to be refined over the years. Pure research in the tools and technologies underlying…

  • Dave’s final questions – POSSE RIT

    Dave & Chris ask the questions we all want to know the answers to, there was a lot of debate over what is the measure of success in an opensource project. One side argued it’s the number of developers, others the total number of users.

  • David May, parallel processing pioneer • reghardware

    Exotic chip architectures are always interesting because they tend to be designed to fix a very particular problem. The transputer was designed to be general purpose enough that you could get it to solve a variety of problems as long as you had the chops and the development tools to do it. It was in…

  • From Big Data to NoSQL: Part 3 (ReadWriteWeb.com)

    While I am not a DB admin, I do appreciate the wealth of new database projects spawned by the likes of Google’s MapReduce/BigTables architecture. Similarly the non-traditional Nonrelational DBs are also very interesting and prove that there’s always a right tool for the right job. Though some programmers and developers will continuously try to hammer…

  • From Big Data to NoSQL: Part 2 (from ReadWriteWeb)

    ReadWriteWeb’s part 2 of a series of surveys looking at the tools being developed for real-time analytics, data stream processing and Big Data in general. I don’t know what the database of the future will look like, but they’ll call it NoSQL.
