Will orders be limited to US or will it be international? I am from Canada, the land where most cool tech gadgets dont end up or are a year late :(

Rather disappointed by the (lack of) progress of the Cell .. it has stood still while other architectures are marching on mercilessly.

Thanks that was helpful. One of the complicating factors in my case is code highlighting and particularly handing Scala code. But as others are pointing out, I guess I can think of it as a client side problem independent of what blogging so

I take issue with the advice that you shouldnt study OS, compiler design, hardware design etc. If you take that out, you will never be one of the guys who did stuff like design the GFS, GWT, AWS and so on. You might become a good user of th

Did you actually read the article? How is it in anyway related to the "five computers" thingy? The article is talking about an architectural limitation not a business/consumer one.

Hey I noticed you can get RSS feeds. This is a huge security risk : If anyone knows my email then can just find out the list I made :( Not cool. Allow it to be disabled.

Why mix the business model with the license? If you are the sole owner of the code, first release it for pay/donations whatever, then once you cross a revenue threshold, release it as open source?

From their FAQ, you signup for their site with a "username". Then you install their software on your phone. Their software determines your location using the cellular network. Once you install the software, anyone who knows your username ca

Intel has revealed a lot more about Larrabee since then. If you are interested in GPGPU, you might want to check out the paper Intel presented at SIGGRAPH : "Larrabee: A Many-Core x86 Architecture for Visual Computing" http://www.siggraph.

I too agree with the "if you have a brain that is" being too condescending. You have to note that humor is also culturally very specific and varies across demographics. What you think of humor may not always work. (I, for example, did not f

Well I guess there is still a long road ahead. They are a service+infrastructure provider. I would approach some ISVs to actually deploy via BaseShield and to also approach some IHVs to bundle BaseShield with new PCs perhaps.

Doesnt Pascal's wager type of argument apply here? Opening the source has very little benefit in most cases while opening the source presents a very real danger of clones.

If I remember, the company behind it was bought by Intel for their Linux distro for MIDs and low power devices. Its also slated to be integrated into Maemo, the OS running on the Nokia Internet Tablets. Demos look impressive but sadly not e
