  1. The Sun Java application server on Sun's COO Distorts Free In Free Software · · Score: 1

    Sun's Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) has been opened up as Project Glassfish under the CDDL. It even uses a database engine originally owned by IBM.

  2. Sun still has cash for acquisitions - SeeBeyond on Sun Steps Back from Linux JDS · · Score: 1

    Sun is acquiring SeeBeyond for $387 Million. I guess they're pushing back to the server-side.

  3. Re:Global coverage? on Google CEO Confirms Online Payment System · · Score: 1

    Probably yes... if you spend it within the Google system. On AdWords. On merchandise.

  4. For Adsense revenues on How Amazon and Google are taking eBay's Business · · Score: 1

    This should let you consolidate your sales with Adsense revenues as well. Sweet.

  5. Re:Adsense on Google Wallet May Compete With Paypal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Direct deposits have limited coverage. I think what they're trying to do is avoid paying out when the AdSense advertiser is going to buy AdWords anyway.

    I'd go for that - it takes a month for my check to get here (Philippines) and 45 banking days to get the check cleared. (though my next check should be in the local currency)

  6. the Philippines has no name on Google Maps Now Cover Whole World · · Score: 1

    And my country is just a bunch of islands.

  7. Tomcat workaround on HTTP Request Smuggling · · Score: 1

    Use the connector (mod_jk) to let httpd handle the HTTP protocol and forward it to Tomcat (or Tomcat-embedding appservers such as JBoss)

  8. Acer does on The Laptop Supply Chain · · Score: 1

    I bought the Acer Travelmate 2312WLCi with the "Linux option" and the local distributor loaded Red Hat 9. I replaced that with Centos 4.

  9. Gluecode not connected on Open source Java? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Geir Magnusson Jr. replies here:


    Apache Harmony has nothing to do with Gluecode. Gluecode focuses on Java application servers. It has nothing to do with J2SE implementations, and has no interest in J2SE implementations.
  10. JBoss and Jetty on IBM buys Gluecode · · Score: 2, Informative
  11. Mobile Location Services on Google Local Goes Mobile · · Score: 1
    GSM networks know approximately where you are. See for instance Nokia's solution which:


    increase revenues further and maintain ARPU[1] growth.

  12. Finals Problem Set on 29th ACM Intl. Programming Contest Results · · Score: 4, Informative

    The finals problem set (PDF) is at the finals home page.

  13. Re:Blogger is down a lot now! on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 1

    Blogger is still probably using the pre-Google infrastructure... while this video blogging and future efforts would use the Google File System and server farm.

  14. Bringing down retail telecom prices on Chinese Huawei Takes on U.S. Telecom Market · · Score: 1

    Sun Cellular, who has started a price war in the Philippines by offering unlimited free calls and text (SMS), is tapping Huawei for a $200M GSM equipment rollout.

  15. Re:Yahoo Web Services vs Google Web APIs on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google · · Score: 3, Informative

    Google uses SOAP and offers 1,000 queries a day, while Yahoo has a REST-like API and offers 5,000 queries a day.

  16. Negative ad blocking on What Can Yahoo Do To Compete with Google? · · Score: 1
  17. Thermalright and Zalman gear on Building a Silent, Air-Cooled System · · Score: 1

    Some reviews.

    Thermalright SI-97 for Socket A.

    Zalman GPU heatpipes: ZM80C-HP and ZM80D-HP. Zalman GPU heatsinks with fans: VF700-Cu and VF700-AlCu.

  18. Re:UniChrome Pro onboard GPU... on Via Now Shipping Dual-Processor Mini-ITX Board · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's supported by the Unichrome sourceforge project.

    Some motherboard chipsets are better-supported than the others. I have a motherboard based on the VIA PM800 chipset, but at the time I tried, I couldn't get it to work with the driver since PM800 support was experimental. While the VESA driver works, I had to install a cheap AGP card since I needed gamma correction to compensate for my (cheap) overbright LCD panel.

    I just checked again and someone got the PM800 working. I'll try that when I reinstall my box (soon).

  19. 5 years later... "Is Silicon Valley Back?" on The DotCom Crash Revisited · · Score: 1
    From Fast Company Now:


    Is there anything to these rumors of a Silicon Valley resurrection? Or has my week simply been filled with coincidences? What's going on?


    Since that's from a blog... is it about the business of blogging? Are blogs the new dotcoms?
  20. Virtual Private Servers on Novell To Ship Xen in Next Version of Suse · · Score: 1

    Virtual Private Server hosting providers could use this. I believe most of them are using User Mode Linux. Mine is. That would benefit those of us who need that level of hosting.

  21. Pentium M boards and Turion Chipsets on AMD Launches Turion Mobile Processor · · Score: 1

    Those are boards with chipsets for Pentium M "Dothan."

    Here's a review for the DFI 855GME-MGF

    VIA announced a Turion chipset - for laptops. I'm curious as to what Socket these use (754? 939?) - no mention on the sites I've read.

  22. Peltier and high-end air cooling on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested · · Score: 2, Informative

    No one has mentioned Peltier cooling yet? It looks like that works on the same principles.

    For the rest of us with hot CPUs or want silence... there's the Thermalright SI-97 for Socket A (AMD) boards, and Thermalright XP-90 for sockets 478/775 (Intel) and 754/939 (AMD).

  23. Developers on NPO Mozilla China Launched · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's good if they could get more developers onboard and get more open source contributors from China.

    Babelfish can handle the Chinese page, by the way.

  24. Cooling Google on Google's Technology Explored · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they have to switch to cooler processors or make modifications to CPU heatsinks.

  25. Re:See Y! search API in action on Yahoo Debuts Search APIs · · Score: 1

    He does work for Yahoo after all...
