This is indeed a great resource, one that I'll probably add to the slides for my RSS class at SLS.

The Corner Shot

The Corner Shot 10/31/2003 12:46 PM
We're not sure we like the idea of guns that make it easier to kill people, but the Corner Shot is about as gadgety a firearm as we've ever seen. Designed so that it can be shot at a right angle, the Corner Shot has a swiveling barrel with a color camera attached to it and an LCD screen so you can see exactly what it is you're taking out without actually having to stick.

Turning the corner on "turning the
corner"

Turning the corner on "turning the
corner" 08/12/2004 11:28 AM
Political slogans come and go, but CNN reports that President Bush seems to be nailing the coffin shut rather quickly on his latest stump speech refrain -- the notion that America is "turning the corner." And who could blame him? With disappointing job numbers out, escalating violence in Iraq and widespread dissatisfaction among seniors with the Medicare prescription-drug benefit, Bush's "turning the corner" rhetoric can be turned around against him pretty easily.

A Hotspot on Every Corner

A Hotspot on Every Corner 07/29/2004 08:25 PM
Details are sketchy, but New York City may allow six telecom firms to pay up to $25 million per year to install wireless transmitters on 18,000 lamp posts: The article is full of sturm und drang about health effects, but the real story is that the city is trying to counter its dead zones without tearing up the streets. It's unclear precisely what kind of transmitters these will be, but you can bet your boppy that the goal will be wireless backhaul for the majority of the points using mesh or simple point-to-point. This endeavor could bring massively improved voice, 2.5G/3G cell data, and Wi-Fi into a city without ripping up all the roads once again or putting giant cell antennas on every last building. The companies include well-known and never-heard-of-'em: the New York Post says they are two cellular providers, Nextel and T-Mobile, three non-cellular companies, ClearLinx Network Corp., Crown Castle Solutions, and Dianet Communications. The sixth, IDT Business Services, will provide telephone service via the Internet. [link via GigaOm]...

BrainShare is around the corner

BrainShare is around the corner 02/10/2004 05:04 AM
In mid-December, I mentioned BrainShare in passing fully meaning to get back to a newsletter devoted to Novell's annual users' conference sometime in early January. But events, other topics (and, I must admit, my own faulty memory) have put it off until now. Still, you shouldn't put off your registration for the event because if you wait until after Feb. 13 it will cost you an additional $200. That $200 could be the difference between "YES" and "NO" from whoever has to approve your travel and training requests.

The U.S. economy around Bush's corner

The U.S. economy around Bush's corner 08/27/2004 05:36 PM
The Commerce Department announced today that the U.S. economy grew by only 2.8 percent between April and June, a significant slowdown from the rate of growth during the first three months of the year. On the eve of a Republican Convention at which President Bush is likely to extol the virtues of his tax cuts, the report offers yet another sign that whatever lies around the corner that Bush keeps insisting the nation is turning probably isn't a surge of prosperity.

AP - After defiantly warding off rival Oracle Corp.'s $7.7 billion hostile takeover for 15 months, business software maker PeopleSoft Inc. finds itself backed into a corner, with its best chances for escape tied to forces beyond its control.

Is the Apocalypse set for April 13th, 2029? Good news, everyone! A collossal asteroid, poetically named 2004 MN4, is calculated to pass pretty damn close to the Earth on that date. How close? Well, the folks at NASA have given it an unprecedented Torino Impact Hazard rating of 4, with chances of impact currently at around 1 in 63, although this will no doubt change as calculations are made. Happy Holidays! (via Slashd ot)

Here's the scenario: Run any application on any OS on any type of processor with no performance hit. Sounds like a dream, right? Linux apps on Windows, Mac apps on Linux, Intel codebase on a PowerPC chipset... Impossible!

Not according to Silicon Valley startup, Transative Corp. They claim their QuickTransit software will allow applications to run transparently on multiple hardware platforms including Mac, PC, mainframes and servers with no user intervention and almost no performance hit.

The company claims QuickTransit eliminates the need to port software from one platform to another. Software applications written for one platform will run on almost any other, without any modifications to the underlying program.

"This opens up a whole new world of things you can do, because previously software was tied to (a) particular processor," said president and CEO Bob Wiederhold. "It gives you access to a much greater diversity of software. One of the key breakthroughs is performance. You can't tell the difference between a translated application and a native application."

"It's pretty darn impressive," said analyst Jim Turley. "It's remarkable because it's unremarkable (to see it in action): It just works." Turley said he watched a Windows laptop running the Gimp image editor for Linux. The software quickly and efficiently performed a series of processor-intensive graphics transformations and effects, Turley said. "There was no performance hit," he said. "I was expecting a lag, some symptom that things were not as they should be, but that was not the case. There was no hand-eye delay. It seemed completely normal. It responded really quickly."

E-Voting Turning a Corner

E-Voting Turning a Corner 06/17/2004 04:33 PM
When a posse of computer scientists first raised dire warnings about untrustworthy new voting machines in late 2002 and early 2003, California's top voting official thought they were ``a bunch of nut jobs.'' But Secretary of State Kevin Shelley came to understand the risks. And he's working to head them off. A flurry of news in recent days convinces me that, at least in California, voters can have some measure of trust in the ballots they'll be using in November and beyond. We're not in the clear yet, partly due to astoundingly obtuse actions by some local officials, but the progress is now visible and heartening. More...

NewsFactor - If its lawsuit against Novell (Nasdaq: NOVL) fails, SCO may be history. So says OSDL (Open Source Development Labs) in a newly published position paper authored by a Columbia University law professor. The report indicates that SCO's legal threats have had little effect on the adoption of Linux.
