As a part of my materials creation initiative for my Systems Administration course, today I put together a guide to computer ports. Below are each of the sections and you can download a useful pdf or svg source here.

Data Robotics, the peeps behind the Drobo and DroboPro, have put up a video answering some common questions about the DroboPro’s iSCSI interface. If you have been considering a DroboPro, and were wondering about this spec (which, by all accounts, is fantastic) check out the video below.

According to Matt Womer, the "ubiquitous Web activity lead" for W3C, the Web standards consortium, Web protocol groups are working to codify ways to access peripherals like digital cameras, the messaging stack, calendar data, and contact data.

There's now a JavaScript API that Web developers can use to get GPS information from mobile phones using the phone's browser, he points out. What that means is that device drivers for Chrome OS will emerge as HTML 5 and related standards mature. Without these, consumers would never use Chrome OS because devices like digital cameras wouldn't be able to transfer data.

We weren't sure what to do with a SheevaPlug, a cheap and powerful home server stuffed into a package the size of a power brick, so we asked a bunch of uber-geeks--Here's what they said

What would you do with a $40 Linux computer the size of a three-prong plug adapter?

Marvell Technology Group is counting on an army of computer engineers and hackers to answer that question. It has created a “plug computer.” It’s a tiny plastic box that you plug into an electric outlet. There’s no display. But there is an Ethernet jack to connect to a home network and a U.S.B. socket for attaching a hard drive, camera or other device. Inside is a 1.2 gigahertz Marvell chip, called an application processor, running a version of the Linux operating system.

All this can be yours for $99 today and probably for under $40 in two years.

I can definitely recommend the netcomm np201av, however just be aware that they are not cheap, have a design flaw that means if you plug directly into a dual power wall plate, the 2nd plug will be blocked and unable to be used.

Ditto to this.

Just today I took delivery of a pair of NP201AV. The utility software that came with them reports my connection rate as Transmit 150Mbs and Receive 137Mbs. I couldn't be happier.

Intel appeared to hate Ion because, it moves their Atom offering into the mainstream in terms of performance and potentially cannibalizes their higher margin Core 2 offerings. But this has always seemed silly to me. People are clearly not buying a lot at this time. Trying to get higher margins for products people don't buy, based on sales performance, at the moment isn't a good financial strategy. To be successful, you typically try to build products folks want to buy then optimize the costs.

If you want too much information about a couple of cats, see Gus and Penny’s Twitter page. These cats Tweet! Or, more acurately, their cat door Tweets when they go in and out. The door isn’t the famous Flo Control Project, but instead uses RFID chips.

Each cat has a small RFID tag on the collar. When a cat is in the close proximity of the door, a small RFID reader reads the tag and if the cat is authorized, a servo will unlock the cat door. The RFID reader and the servo controller are connected to an old laptop. The software on the laptop is written in Delphi and for each “cat door event” is sending a Twitter message and a picture to twitter.com:

Imagine a netbook that can actually play modern first-person shooter games. Or a tiny $500 PC that can quickly encode video. It's possible--I just saw it with my own two eyes. nVidia recently came in to show off its two-chip Ion platform, which marries an Intel Atom CPU with nVidia's 94000M graphics processing unit. Honestly, the results surprised me.

This project took 18 days from this Russian guy to accomplish. It all has began after he has watched that cartoon. An idea sparked thru his head “I want to build such thing to hold my computer stuff in it”. A solid-metal Wall-E computer case, each detail carefully cut from the metal sheets processed and put in place. Swiss precision homemade heavy metal WallE geeky step-by-step history is waiting us below:
