  • Google confirms Maps with local map downloads as iOS lags | Electronista

    Downloading local maps is becoming an absolute necessity in this day and age of not so unlimited downloading. Especially if you suffer the fate worse than death known as Roaming Data Charges! Can you say $1,000.00 Cell Phone Bill?? So do yourself a favor and download some maps before traveling overseas with your smartphone, yo.

  • SeaMicro pushes Atom smasher to 768 cores in 10U box • The Register

    Seamicro just keeps cranking out new product. They are like the Apple of the massively parallel cloud computer in a box segment of the industry. They just recently moved from old style x86 32bit Intel Atom CPUs to fully x64 capable cpus. And now the increased the density of the cpus on each compute node…

  • NoSQL is What? (via Jeremy Zawodny’s blog)

    Great set of comments along with a very good description of advantages of using NoSQL in a web application. There seems to be quite a bit of philosophical differences over whether or not NoSQL needs to be chosen at the earliest stages of ANY project. But Jeremy’s comments more or less prove, you pick the…

  • Apple patents hint at future AR screen tech for iPad | Electronista

    A lot of Augmented Reality today is centered on software developments running on smartphones. Whether they be Android or iPhone doesn’t matter they want those wonderfully powerful embedded computers available to do all the work onboard the device itself. But, what if the device was not required to do all that heavy lifting itself. What…

  • ARM daddy simulates human brain with million-chip super • The Register

    Many wondered when this day would come. Many have written and researched and made full on attempts to simulate the brain in silicon. Now with the rise of low power CPUs (Atom,Arm), massively parallel and dense servers (Seamicro,Calxeda,Tilera) it’s time once again to take a stab at it. Luckily this time around one of the…

  • Distracting chatter is useful. But thanks to RSS (remember that?) it’s optional. (via Jon Udell)

    I too am a big believer in RSS. And while I am dipping toes into Facebook and Twitter the bulk of my consumption goes into the big Blogroll I’ve amassed and refined going back to Radio Userland days in 2002. When I left the pageview business I walked away from an engine that had, for…

  • Atom smasher claims Hadoop cloud migration victory • The Register

    SeaMicro has come up with a scenario it can win. But it’s very specific, esoteric and niche to be a winning advertising campaign. Suffice it to say, if you need SeaMicro you probably already know it and have bought one by now. If you don’t, well most likely you are doing fine with what you…

  • A cocktail of AR and social marketing | Japan Pulse

    Augmented Reality has got to start somewhere. So in this humble little example you get rewards for navigating to locations in Tokyo and checking in via Foursquare or Livedoor’s Rocket Touch social app. It’s promoting Chivas Regal’s campaign Aroma of Tokyo.

  • Kim Cameron returns to Microsoft as indie ID expert • The Register

    Anybody who can effectively navigate in a corporate environment of a huge software developer and evangelize something like Identity Management, well they have my undivided attention. Most folks treat it like a Directory Service when in fact it’s a free standing kind of thing that any application can subscribe to in order to determine access…

  • Tilera throws gauntlet at Intels feet • The Register

    I still have great hopes for Tilera in the data center cloud market place. But the only real competition out there now is Seamicro’s own SM-10000×64 which is tearing up the charts with Intel’s Atom N570. Once Tilera is able to ship its chips in volume and get manufacturers to start building servers with Tilera…
