Best Android Apps for Boosting Battery Life
Linked by snydeq on 11/02/11 22:50 UTC
InfoWorld's Serdar Yegulalp provides a look at the best apps for boosting the battery life of your Android device. "The best place to start if you just want to survey your power usage habits is Battery Indicator. To follow that up with actual power management, Green Power and JuiceDefender are your best bets. 2x Battery is not a bad program, but it's limited to managing cell data and not Wi-Fi connections. If that feature were added in a future revision, 2x Battery would be a real contender."

Spanish Firm Wins Patent Suit Filed by Apple
Linked by Thom Holwerda on 11/02/11 22:47 UTC, submitted by JAlexoid
A Spanish judge has overturned an injunction Apple won against a Spanish Android tablet maker, N-TK. "A small Spanish company has won a legal case against Apple Inc. and will now be able to sell a tablet computer that the U.S. technology giant had claimed infringes on the iPad patent." N-TK only sold about 200 of these tablets due to Apple's legal nonsense, a lot less than their 15000 unit target. As such, NT-TK is going to sue Apple for damages.

"OpenBSD 5.0 has been published, six months after the release of version 4.9. The OpenBSD project's newest release of the free BSD based UNIX-like operating system includes a number new and updated drivers, performance improvements and new features. OpenBSD 5.0 includes the GNOME 2.32.2, KDE 3.5.10 and Xfce 4.8.0 desktop environments. It also contains a number of new and updated packages including versions 3.5.19, 3.6.18 and 5.0 of the Firefox web browser, PHP 5.2.17 and 5.3.6, LibreOffice 3.4.1, and Chromium 12. The release includes September's release of OpenSSH 5.9." GNOME 2 you say? Huh. Interesting.

The Inside Story of How Microsoft Killed its Courier Tablet
Linked by Thom Holwerda on 11/01/11 22:55 UTC
"Steve Ballmer had a dilemma. He had two groups at Microsoft pursuing competing visions for tablet computers. One group, led by Xbox godfather J Allard, was pushing for a sleek, two-screen tablet called the Courier that users controlled with their finger or a pen. But it had a problem: it was running a modified version of Windows. That ran headlong into the vision of tablet computing laid out by Steven Sinofsky, the head of Microsoft's Windows division. Sinofsky was wary of any product - let alone one from inside Microsoft's walls - that threatened the foundation of Microsoft's flagship operating system. But Sinofsky's tablet-friendly version of Windows was more than two years away." I'm still mad at Microsoft for this one.

Calexda's New Quad-core ARM Part for Cloud Servers
Linked by Thom Holwerda on 11/01/11 22:51 UTC
"On Tuesday, Austin-based startup Calxeda launched its EnergyCore ARM system-on-chip for cloud servers. At first glance, Calxeda's SOC looks like something you'd find inside a smartphone, but the product is essentially a complete server on a chip, minus the mass storage and memory. The company puts four of these EnergyCore SoCs onto a single daughterboard, called an EnergyCard, which is a reference design that also hosts four DIMM slots and four SATA ports. A systems integrator would plug multiple daughterboards into a single mainboard to build a rack-mountable unit, and then those units could be linked via Ethernet into a system that can scale out to form a single system that's home to some 4096 EnergyCore processors (or a little over 1000 four-processor EnergyCards)."
