About Computers and Bezels

January 5, 2008

Any article focusing on performance automobile concepts and computers must be read and one titled Making the BMW of Enterprise Computers is no exception. This article talks about how Dell is working on making their servers look better... Even if they cost more in the process.

In the IP communications world, much credit goes to Andy Voss and the team at Nuera for creating a killer looking bezel for a VoIP softswitch called Orca back in the late nineties. As an FYI, Andy Voss is now the CEO of Sansay and Nuera was purchased by AudioCodes.

Did Insects do the Dinosaurs in?

January 5, 2008
As a dinosaur fan, I am excited to write about anything having to do with these extinct beasts. The latest theory on dinosaurs worth sharing is that insects did them in by spreading disease and also by competing with them as they fed on vegetation. There is evidence of this pressure being found in the fossilized dino dung and some scientist point out that the extinction happened too slowly to be related to an asteroid hitting the earth.

ScienceDaily does an extraordinary job of explaining this concept in detail and in so doing, mentions diseases like leishmania, malaria, intestinal parasites, arboviruses and other pathogens the dinosaurs had to battle.

Whirlpool Fridge Docks Gadgets

January 5, 2008
It was only a matter of time before gadgets and appliances got more than friendly  -- they are downright married now as Whirlpool has a new refrigerator designed to allow you to dock iPods, tablets, photo frames and more.

Soon we can expect iPods to take inventory of all the items in the refrigerator via RFID tags embedded in food wrappers. Once this happens, you will be able to take the iPod or tablet computer to the supermarket and know how many eggs, how much milk and how many tomatoes you have at home.

See more from Gizmodo.
