Evolution of the Species

The new Asus Eco Book has a case made of laminated bamboo and is available in different colors.

Peek-a-boo it's bamboo!

The first Apple came in a wooden box and there have been many PegasosPPC and EFIKA that ended up in a variety of cases. It is hard to say what our favorite has been.

The shipping box itself was probably the most practical

...and the Holiday wrapping made it festive too!

OLPC helped bring attention to the opportunity at the so-called Base of the Pyramid (Thinking BoP).

Here is a good interview with the CEO of Rackable Systems, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:RACK).

Power, cooling and density

Power, cooling and density are three words that do not go together naturally, but a bunch of supply and demand issues are compressing the nature of what has become essential, one variable at a time. Google is probably the largest single corporate user of electricity in the world. There is a reason for Google's Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal initiative.

The latest rage in the chip industry is consumer applications. As investment in semiconductor technologies have become increasingly expensive the industry has finally begun to look for new ways to create distinction. A faster processor at a higher frequency is not enough. We think aura is system enablement. The goal is application ready silicon.

EFIKA.TV is a good example

Please have a look at Guido Mersmann's EFIKA Project #341 or Grzegorz Kraszewski's EFIKA Project #163.

Google (Public, NASDAQ:GOOG) stock sprinted past $700/share yesterday. So far, the stock is holding firm today. Google also launched a Mac Developer Playground yesterday (at least that is when we figured out it was there). We will know we arrived when we get one of those. In the meanwhile, we continue to do the heavy lifting on the PowerPC end user market (Keeping the PowerPC Dream Alive).
