I'm curious what the technology behind it is. There have been some standards based things recently (VXLAN) as well as some non-standards based (OTV, F5 DCI). It sounds like VXLAN. VXLAN in short is encapsulating a L2 packet inside a UDP-V

It would probably be better served to just keep track of how many drinks you have. I would be more likely to use it if I wanted to quickly calculate calories, drinks, estimated BAC, etc. The estimated BAC could be pretty cool - it could d

A lot of what SOPA is black holing US internet traffic. All it takes is one person at one service provider to do this. India and China have done this on accident before. (They create a black hole route and accidentally advertised it) Sur

They've also got the 'Creator' line which is more of what I traditionally think of Lego. So, when I bought a set that's the one I chose. Now, I did have to wade through the other 30 brands to find it, but I was happy they still had at leas

The wikipedia article is more interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phones_on_aircraft This sums it up pretty well: "The regulatory agencies and aviation industry take the position that any increased risk is unacceptable if it

From the graph, it looks like drugs are the bait for bitcoins. It looks like every geek with a drug tweak bought in to bitcoin in the days after the Gawker article. It's not DNS related nor is it 100% responsible for the spike, but it is

For what it's worth, this attitude is valuable in certain positions. Many of the sales reps I work with have this attitude and it works for them. Basically - they will go to hell and back to get something done for a customer. They will d

There aren't any widely deployed standards for NAT66. There are some drafts and ideas, but nothing commercially standard. I'd be hesitant to trust these implementations. You're better off using a firewall than a half-baked IPv6 NAT at th

For those following the IPv6 issues - this is one of the real, justifiable, not-fluffy ideas that make sense for IPv6. Even then, this idea is still fluffy. RFID is a cool idea, but too passive for some of the cooler applications. I think

If the author wanted to look, the Via header is actually not a great place to look. It's not the most accurate header in terms of telling you where the call is being handled. If you look inside the SDP's (usually in the INVITE and 200 OK,

Can't really blame a manufacturer for a bug that crashes routers by easily passed BGP parameters? It's not possible it's their fault this wasn't caught in dev-test? I've seen many environments where it's a multi-year process to roll out ne

I think there's some value to them. Sure, apple doesn't do them - but apple operates in a shroud of mystery and nobody knows their next move, so no surprise there. Apple has had the ability to nail technology inflection points and truly i

I work at a large tech company, and we've embraced macs for the last 2 years or so. The macs are still more expensive than the standard company issue, but they are able to offset the cost by offering 0 IT mac support. If you're wanting to

This can be said of almost every single video implementation ever. Nearly every single one utilizes H.323, SIP, RTP, H.2XX codecs, NAT traversal (ICE, STUN, etc), SDP, ISDN, etc. Each one of those protocols has many optional characteristic

What I heard on the Google/Honeycomb was that they released it earlier than intended. Part of it was the Xoom driving it, some was to compete with iPads, but it wasn't so much of a planned release. Google actually requires you to sign a l

I would agree they probably aren't 'paying' them anything. Discounting is fairly different, and is not that surprising. Microsoft probably doesn't want a loss against google and is willing to pay for it, as well as is looking for accounts

I've been on it since the first day they would let me, and I couldn't be a larger fan. I know how vulnerable I would be if I lost control of my email account, and it's scary. I don't trust the recovery options with google because they're u

To create another internet you need another medium. Today everything that is connected to the internet shares a physical cable or a short wifi hop to a cable. Unless you want to build out an entire secondary network of cables (fiber, coppe

Microsoft owns the desktop - that's their cash cow. For large businesses they (basically) have to buy outlook / exchange. They throw powerpoint, visio, word, excel on top of that, plus the operating system, and they own it. From an opera

The hidden cost is having a switch/router/both to handle the rates, as well as using Gig-rated cabling which is surprisingly not the same as 100Mb. When I hand crimped a number of cables and tested they weren't suitable for Gig. Full Discl

The other side effect of this is that some modern applications are significantly hindered by the speed of light. If you start to look at doing globally distributed storage, speed of light alone between two locations can be in the hundreds
