Sun gambles big on future chip design 04/12/2004 07:28 PM

SAN FRANCISCO - Sun Microsystems Inc.'s recent surprisedecision to drop work on its UltraSparc V processor could be seen as either a desperate cost-cutting measure by a troubled company, or a vote of confidence for the next generation of multithreaded, multicore "throughput computing" processors that Sun has been readying since its 2002 acquisition of Afara WebSystems Inc.

Jason Kotke writes....

Interesting note on Dave Hyatt's site about Dashboard and the version of Safari that will ship with Tiger (Hyatt is the lead developer on Safari): [The Dashboard widgets] are Web pages, plain and simple (with extra features thrown in for added measure). Apple's own web site says "build your own widgets using the JavaScript language", but that's sort of misleading. The widgets are HTML+CSS+JS. They are not some JS-only thing....

[kotke.org]

OK - so contro versy aside about ripping off Konfabulator - Apple's Dashboard brings to light some really interesting notions of pluggable modules. It's an idea who's time has come.

That's always what I wanted Macromedia's product line to look like. If you can imagine a word processor, speadsheet and contact list all working together - from different vendors - yes - that's what Longhorn will enable.

Microsoft has (for years) been evolving and grokking how this should work. Outlook now uses the Word text editor. Spell checking, browsing and messaging are ubiquitous OS features.

But they gotta open it up for us all to use. That's what was wrong with OLE.

I hate to say this - but I predict that within one year they'll be open standards for interconnecting modules together - sort of inter-module APIs - to flow micro-content, communication and 'activity based' computing.

But generalizing a combination of tasks and interaction as "activities" - we'll be able to reduce everything to APIs and schemas. This is ONE of teh big innovations perculating up from the blogosphere, DLAs (digital lfiestyle aggregators) and open source movement.

In the UK Guardian today:
Bollywood movie fans will soon be able to download full-length features with the file-sharing software Kazaa. A deal struck between a partner of Sharman Networks Ltd, the company which owns Kazaa, and IndiaFM.com, a popular entertainment site, will allow Indian film producers to distribute movies, music and other large, rich media files online to an estimated 60 million international Kazaa users. The move follows a pilot scheme in November when Bollywood thriller Supari was offered for sale at US $2.99 and promoted through Kazaa prior to its release in India. The file was designed to self destruct after being watched and could not be copied.
