Virtualization for ‘Cloud’ vs. "Traditional" Virtualization

My, my…I just looked back and it has been almost exactly 6 months since my last post to this blog. The time has gone fast as we’ve been working hard on a number of things here ranging from the Virtual Iron acquisition integration (going nicely, thanks…) to a number of other projects that I’ll talk about over the next few posts. I plan to get back into blogging much more regularly as I did all during the Spring

DIY circuit etching video tutorial

Circuit-bending blog GetLoFi has posted the best tutorial yet on home-made printed circuit boards using the toner transfer method. We’ve covered homebrew PCB fabrication techniques about a billion times before . What sets this tutorial apart is that it collects many bits of knowledge otherwise scattered all about the web, and then depicts the entire process on video, from initial printing to cut PCB…because  reading about it versus  seeing it done are two different things entirely.

Bing Offers Sponsored Wi-Fi after Searching

Bing is underwriting free Wi-Fi at some hotspots if you perform a single Bing search: Microsoft’s new search engine has gotten positive reviews–I quite like it, though I haven’t become a regular user yet–and the company has teamed up with JiWire to push brand awareness through sponsored hotspot access. The program started in September, and incorporates thousands of hotspots–though JiWire is providing details about which one. JiWire says that 30 to 40 percent of visitors take Microsoft up on the offer.

The Cable Chronicles: Win7 Digital Cable Advisor Released

As we mentioned in our previous edition of The Cable Chronicles , Microsoft and CableLabs have come to an agreement to allow the installation and use of CableCARDs on unapproved and non-OEM systems, allowing for the wider proliferation of CableCARD equipped HTPCs beyond the handful of OEM systems that CableLabs had previously approved. With Windows 7 implementing a complete DRM scheme for TV tuners – the Protected Broadcast Driver Architecture – computers running Win7 would be the first to be able to take advantage of these relaxed restrictions. The limitation at the time was that computers did not come CableCARD-capable out of the box

Voters Defeat Longmont Takeover of Failing Wi-Fi System

This isn’t a referendum on cities running Wi-Fi, but shows how freaked out incumbents still get over muni-Fi: Longmont, Colo.’s independent Wi-Fi service provider was struggling, and the city wanted the ability to take over the service should the company fail. However, a variety of Colorado laws required the city to be vague and not spend money saying exactly what it planned to do. Cable operators spent hundreds of thousands to defeat the measure, which implied that the city could run a triple-play system, even over fiber.
