This one is on a horse...

The brand on cattle or horses told/tells you who the owned the animal. In the Wild West, a rustler could decide if the tangle was worth the risk should he decide to wrangle horses or cattle - was the brand a strong one? A strong ranch had cowboys that could ride and shoot. The brand said: this is mine, not yours - keep your hands off! Today, the application of the concept of branding has evolved.

It started here: We Get Signal!

Then it became this: EFIKA Developer Project #337, Highly flexible/ultra low cost framebuffer for the EFIKA and FPGA technologies support. And, then this:

Now, it is here: Portable EFIKA. What is next?! Stay tuned!

The Community is the Computer - a Super Computer.

Google Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:GOOG) will probably trade at $500 a share today and maybe more. The strength of Google's core business allows it to take the risks necessary to build new ones. The most important ingredient to Google's success is the user. You define the market for the advertising they organize. Google is your creation. Search was the means to establish your involvement that creates targeted and measurable ads. Now, there is more. The Google network build-out continues.

Let the Games begin!

RoboCup is underway! EFIKA in defense. EFIKA on attack. Robo-GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The long-term goal of the RoboCup series is to have a robotic team capable of beating a human team by the year 2050. Let's hope the Botnia RoboCup Team brings a whole new dimension to the Games!

Go Team!

The Botnia RoboCup Team participates in the small size league. Robots are limited to 18cm in diameter and 15 cm in height. Games are played 5 vs.

That is a big number. It was announced earlier this week that Apple had sold that many iPods in five plus years. What is even more impressive is that they have done this without lowering the price of the music or video.

Go ahead. Get an EFIKA.

Apple is killing Microsoft. Microsoft is killing Microsoft. Go ahead...

We started out yesterday's blog like this: The EFIKA Open Client is a story of just enough computing. Why not use an embedded processor as a general purpose solution if the targeted requirements are met by the capability available. First, unlocking opportunity has everything to do with price. Last, you don't need a rocket ship to travel to the grocery store.

Some EFIKA Projects are already nearing release...

VA Software Corporation (NASDAQ:LNUX) has made collaborative environments a business. Over the last year LNUX has begun to capitalize on the growth of the open source movement and the growth in Internet advertising. Maybe, you have heard of Slashdot, SourceForge or Open Source Technology Group (OSTG). There are some interesting developments coming from this Company.
