A new Programming Idea popped into my Head last night 

and a programmers "itch"  into being.  

The recent interest of Apple into iPhone Mapping projects also re-triggered 

my interest in Open Source Tools like Python and software centric geotagging.

We'll see where this thing goes.

Monday Sidenotes:


From the AP.

Collider, at Geneva, Breaks record set by Chicago Lab,

by sending beams of the particles at 1.18

Trillion electron volts around the 

massive machine on Monday.

"Three hours later both LHC beams were successfully 

accelerated to 1.18 TeV," shortly after midnight,

the organization said."

The electron volt is an extremely small measure used in particle physics. One TeV is about the energy of the motion of a flying mosquito, but it becomes signficant in the submicroscopic collisions of the collider.

==================================

Jerry Pournelle was on TWiT this weekend.  Not my favorite SF writer but he was a 

mainstay on BYTE Magazine in the early days of computers on his column called 

Chaos Manor.

Lucifer's Hammer is now on Audible, according to Leo.

But since I'm reading Stephen King for my current SF fiction, I should talk.

Post 532: A Two-Headed Linux Desktop called Kohjinsha DZ

What's better than a 

10.1 TFT display laptop 

that comes preloaded with Linux?

Make that a Dual Screen 10.1 TFT Display.

Best of all it's on sale now for ¥95,800 (about $1,110) with a Linux pre-load -- add

another ¥5,000 (about $58) for 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. For that you get a

1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo with RS780MN chipset and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics,

802.11b/g/n WiFi, 3x USB, a 3-in-1 card reader, 1.3 megapixel webcam, 1GB

memory (expandable to 4GB), and 160GB 5,4000 hard disk with claimed 4.5-hours

"max" of battery power (1.1V, 5200mAh) -- likely far less in real-world usage. Ships

worldwide ($60ish for US or €50ish for European delivery) in 3 weeks if you order

today.

Dual Multi-touch Screen FaceOff 

from Dell and HP

==========================================

Dell and HP, HP and Dell. The United States' two biggest computer hardware

manufacturers, and two of the world's top three, have tended to match each other

step for step, so it's no surprise that Dell's recently released SX2210T was quickly

followed by a Compaq L2105tm from its closest rival. Measuring 21.5 inches each,

with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and optical multitouch technology

under their chunky bezels, these two models represent the biggest mainstream push

for touchscreen computing yet. Functionally identical to standard monitors, they offer

the added benefit of letting you input your heart's urges and desires using swipes,

gestures and flicks, and we've plucked one of each panel to see how this all plays

out for ourselves. Join us after the break, won't you?

Welcome to the World of Smart Phones

Welcome to the World of Smart Phones


iPhone & Android Now Total 

75% of US Smartphone Web Traffic

Link: http://m.digg.com/tech_news/iPhone_Android_Now_Total_75_of_US_Smartphone_Web_Traffic

The Study says 55% of the Smart Phones is Apple's iPhone and the Other 20% is the New

Android (DROID) models.  Palm Pre and the Blackberry Smart Phones both lost ground to the New Droid Upstart and it's Clever Advertising against the iPhone 3G coverage with Maps.

Not everyone is aware that the Mac's OS X and the iPhone OS is based on a Linux cousin called BSD.  That's why Linux Open Source Software can be ported tro both fairly easily.

That means the iPhone is running a disguised BSD (Linux Like OS), the Droid Smartphones are running Google's Android OS (A very Open Source Linux OS)

and the newly announced Esle is also running on a Linux Distro (Distribution, of which there are over 100 well known from Fedora to Ubuntu to Knoppix and even BSD's).
