That is what technology can do. That does not necessarily mean you will make the right choices. At issue is that you will have a full range of choices, from bad to good. But, before we go further, let's separate the moral judgment and/or esthetic opinion from the opportunity technology can provide. Access and opportunity is our focus.

What do you think?

The freedom to explore and develop an opinion is as important as the ability to share and refine it. In the history of human endeavor, never has the confluence of people and ideas been greater than what we can find through the Internet today. As access and opportunity reaches further into our world, technology must continue to progressively increase our opportunity to learn and to interact. Our hopes run in this direction.

Ready for Smart Work

We are excited to be entering a new high growth market that capitalizes on our system integration skills and and our cloudcity.me offering. With the i.MX51 at the core we are bringing a broad range of communication and computing technologies into a series of easy to use, consumer friendly devices.

The machine is us!

If you watch the video, it may occur to you that connecting systems are really about connecting people in more meaningful and productive ways. A smarter planet? It seems IBM is finally sorting that out...

More than the $3/month email service we mentioned at the end of Shift Happens, this past week IBM has finally jumped on the proverbial bandwagon: IBM and Canonical Launch Linux- and Cloud-based Desktop Software in the U.S.

Historically in big business, companies competed with rivals that had comparable resources and capabilities. As communication and computing at the user and enterprise level evolved along with the Internet itself, the world began to change. Not only did more smaller companies become more frequently successful (such as Google, RedHat and Amazon), but bigger companies became more nimble and moved into new businesses (at least those that remained successful).

Celebrating the first patent of the barcode

Google in barcode. Did you know that 57 years ago today the first barcode patent was granted? The barcode shown is an ASCII character string (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc.). A string is a sequence of characters that represents data values. You can find barcodes everywhere. Google uses their own open source barcode project, ZXing, to generate barcodes. It is used in Android.

ZXing meaning Zebra Crossing...

Anyone can build a fast CPU. The trick is to build a fast system.

Seymour Cray

Thirteen years ago to the day, Seymour Cray, died of injuries sustained in a car accident. Cray is considered by many to be the Father of Supercomputing. The Cray XT system series scored ten systems in the first 50 on the latest TOP500 List.

Supercomputing today: The TOP500

The main objective of the TOP500 list is to provide a ranked list of general purpose systems that are in common use for high end applications.

That will be the next big catchy slogan: Can you see me now? Video iChat is certainly coming to the iPod Touch and it now appears that Cisco is stepping up the pace to reach the single consumer. Cisco has made an offer to buy Tandberg: Cisco agrees to buy Norway's Tandberg for $3 bln.

In 2005 we published Compoogle

The ideas are still the same. The integration is more complete. We have lived through the painful evolution from the 5200B, to 5121e, to the i.mx51.
