With all the things you can do today, you can say one thing… life is never boring! Between the almost unlimited music and videos you can find in the internet, to the countless video games you can play, and the hundreds or thousands of friends you make in the social networks, you constantly try to pinch yourself that the person who can invent a way for us to have more than 24 hours a day is really the one that will get my hug.

You need to develop applications for it, so naturally you don't want that the development of new applications will be together with the actual system that the ...
Unless you were living in the cave, you have heard lots of talks of economic recession. Thankfully, worldwide PC shipments still manage to grow 14.6% to 69.5 million units in the first quarter of 2008. Other than a slowdown, there has been lots of talks that people use less computers because they are going towards cell phones, especially smart phones. Well, that is like saying that camera sales will drop because cell phones have cameras too. They say the world's largest camera manufacturer ...
This is my 800th article for sunstar since I started writing for it 14 years ago. People always ask me where I get so many things to write about. Actually, its simple – the more you read, and the more you think about what you read, the more ideas you will have to share. I still make it part of my routine to read and scan through thousands of articles and as many books I can get every month. The technology news is full of reports about the fact ...
I am in a conference right now on proper power management, as well as management of servers and data centers, and the main thing now that is being discussed is the high cost now of power and cooling. There is a quote that I like which states the POWER IN EQUALS HEAT OUT. This just goes to say that the more powerful computers you have ( just like car), the more electricity it consumes ( or fuel in cars ) and the more heat ( ...

Intel will soon be releasing a new processor, and it is called Atom, and you will easily know why. The chip is only less than 25 square millimeter in size (actual size for unmounted chips is probably smaller than your fingernail), and will consume only 0.6 watts to 2.5 watts. In fact, it is so small that Intel supposedly can make 2,500 of these processors on a single 300 millimeter wafer. However, it packs over 47 million transistors each, and the power is ...

I was attending a business meeting, when the topic started to shift to open source. And one of the attendees started saying, " of course, Wilson Ng has been a Microsoft advocate and partner, and we do expect him to oppose open source." I grimaced and shrugged. I have often been characterized as such. But I believe that I have grown old enough in the industry that I have stopped looking at things as black and white, and start to be more circumspect. Looking ...

The number 1 application
of people using computers now is email and for cell phones it is

I am sure many of you are members of what is called ‘mailing
lists’. These are group discussion
mails, which allows a group of people, let us say anywhere from 5 to thousands

These allows discussions to be easier. Some mailing lists are open to all
subscribers, and everybody can send mail to everybody. Some mailing lists are maintained, and only
moderators or those authorized will ...
