ptorrone writes "Lots of open source hardware articles making the rounds this week, first up — Wired has an excellent piece on the Arduino project, an open source electronics prototyping platform, its founders and business model (they have sold over 50,000 units). And next up MIT's Tech Review has a profile on a few open source hardware businesses including NYC based Adafruit Industries best known for projects like the open source synth (x0x0b0x) and 'fun' projects like the Wave Bubble, the open source cell phone/wifi/GPS/RF jammer."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

In addition to software, De-Dupe Accelerator 250 and 255 include Express DR 250 PCI card and Express DR 255 PCI-Express card, respectively, for off-loading and accelerating data de-duplication function. During de-duplication process, data is scanned and unique patterns are identified, assigned corresponding data fingerprints, indexed, and stored. Duplicate copies of data already fingerprinted are deleted, leaving only one stored copy of each unique data pattern.

Existing outside normal configuration management supervision, Data Access network (DAN)provides intelligent connectivity layer between production network and enterprise's monitoring tools, ensuring unobtrusive data access to every device. DAN technology is based on circuit switching of replicant packets rather than live traffic, so network performance is not impacted. As local/remote access management plane, DAN can provide full access to data across network while maintaining strong security.

blairerickson writes "A US firm Thursday unveiled plans to build a massive one-billion-dollar charging network to power electric cars in Australia as it seeks cleaner and cheaper options to petrol. Better Place, which has built plug-in stations for electric vehicles in Israel and Denmark, has joined forces with Australian power company AGL and finance group Macquarie Capital to create an Australian network. Under the plan, the three cities will each have a network of between 200,000 and 250,000 charge stations by 2012 where drivers can plug in and power up their electric cars. The points would probably be at homes and businesses, car parks and shopping centres. In addition, 150 switch stations will be built in each city and on major freeways, where electric batteries can be automatically replaced in drive-in stations similar to a car wash." I hope they're talking to the car companies about the necessary standardization it would take to make this work, too.Read more of this story at Sla
