Dell Axim X3i Frosted Mini-Review

Dell Axim X3i Frosted Mini-Review 05/14/2004 09:04 AM
There's a 'mini-review' of the Dell Axim X3i over at PDAToday which shines a mini-light on some of the X3i's better qualities. The X3i is Dell's first Pocket PC to include both Bluetooth and WiFi on-board, as well as a 400MHz Intel Xscale. Although I can't say they really break...

Frosted Flakes sugar dialed back to a
mere 1/4

Frosted Flakes sugar dialed back to a
mere 1/4 08/12/2004 11:58 PM
Kellogg's UK has responded to concerns about childhood obesity by reducing the sugar content in Frosted Flakes from 38% to 25%. So, like, a 500g box of frosted flakes is one-quarter sugar? And that's the new, improved flakes?

Aubrey Sheiham, professor of dental and public health at University College London said that products high in very refined starch were often just as bad on the index as those high in sugar.

Reducing the sugar from 38% to 25% was unlikely to help in terms of tooth decay either. "When you have very finely milled starch and sugar together the effect on teeth can be worse than sugar, perhaps because of the stickiness," he said.

Associations

Snakes, Sharks and Unexpected
Associations 01/07/2004 04:29 PM

I love how the Web is full of unexpected associations that end up exposing me to new things.

After reading Don Box's post about Frank Zappa's "Baby Snakes" DVD, I immediately bought a copy on Amazon.com. I'd seen Baby Snakes years ago, and although I wasn't wild about most of the music on it (I usually love Zappa, but there's too much of his "gotta pay the bills with cheap laughs" lyrics here), I remember being completely blown away by Bruce Bickford's stunning animation.

A couple of days later the DVD arrived, and once again I was amazed by Bickford's mind-boggling work. I Googled for more about Bickford, and discovered that a documentary about him will premiere soon. Reading on, I noticed that the documentary's musical score was created by Shark Quest, a group I'd never heard of.

I figured any group that could write the score for a film about Bruce Bickford would be worth listening to, so back to Amazon.com I went. A minute later I ordered a Shark Quest CD, which I'm listening to right now - and I think it's great.

So, thanks Don, for introducing me to some new music :)

Laptops and Servers

Laptops and Servers 02/01/2005 09:44 PM
It just dawned on me that in a desk-side box, heat is not a major problem because it’s got a room to cool it off, usually without too many other computers in it. Laptops, however, are like back-room “mainframe” servers in that heat is a big deal. In the one case you’re worried about your users’ gonads and in the other your HVAC budget, but the problem is the same. Right now, the heat budget is a big concern for the guys at Sun who design our biggest servers. It’s no secret that our throughput computing initiative is partly about this: lower clock speeds, more cores, thread-level parallelism. Am I predicting that laptops with SPARC processors will be leaping off the shelves next quarter? I wouldn’t go that far. But I am smelling converging design spaces.

New Servers are Up and All is Good

Just a quick note to let you know that the new servers are up and all seems to be good.  We haven't added that hardware into the current mix yet -- we'll do it over the weekend / next week.  Thanks to Apokalyptik andfor giving me such confidence in their abilities to handle the move that I passed out last night before it was even done.  Not a bad tribute to a great SysAdmin.

Just to clarify, I wasn't slacking off or anything, I was adding another new feature to Feedster before the boxes went offline.  Still testing it.

Home Servers - here we come

The Home Server.

The Home Server

Martin Geddes of Telecopalypse (gotta love that name) saw yesterday's item about home servers and was move to comment.

The key word he adds to the discussion is database. Home PCs will become personal database servers.

This makes sense from an Always-On perspective. After all, what are medical, personal inventory, and security applications doing other than building databases, often huge databases?

But this brings up a key impediment (today) to Always-On, which is the price of software.

As hardware is mass-produced its price declines with Moore's Law. That's not true with software. In fact, complexity (or the ability to handle complexity) increases the price of software.

Look at the price of a Windows server license, for instance, next to the price of a Windows client license. Or look at the price of an Oracle license against that of any client program.

Martin notes in his piece that he's putting his databases onto a Linux PC, and that's a key point.

I've been noodling over the question of whether Windows or Linux will drive Always-On applications for some months. (Windows does have some advantages.) It's the question of price that is determinative. It's not so much that Linux is free as that the cost of Linux solutions move toward free, without the corporate overhead of Windows applications.

What are software companies delivering, after all, once you get the software? They are delivering support. Linux separates the cost of support from the cost of the software, so the initial cost can drive toward zero (especially in volume). That's a key Clue.

An ISP, or telco (is there any difference), or some other company, can earn itself monthly maintenance fees from the Always-On software in your home server, which they can maintain remotely.

I think that's the model for the future. And you won't get it through Windows.

[Corante: Moore's Lore]

Marc's comment.....

If I was a betting man - that Linux home server will be running java with struts and Itabis or Turbine, with some coolio basicPortal frameworks - all wrapped inside a social software and personal publishing embrella.  All open source.

All designed for talking XML and serving up one's digital lifestyle.

OK - so I was off by 10 years.  Maybe building the MediaBar back in 95-96 was too early.  maybe spending all my money on research was EXACTLY the right thing to do.

I guess we get to find out now.

PeopleAggregator is back on it's feet and it's sister - WebOutliner - now has accounts.  Various pieces of the puzzle - from the Laszlo rich media front-ends, to JahShaka high-end editing tools, to pre-built jukeboxes and photo albums Portal software or knowledge management utilities - are all falling into place.  Open standards - like ATOM and FOAF - are taking off.  This train is leaving the station.
