Distributed Computing: Principles, Algorithms, and Systems
2008-06-08 11:27:00 Designing distributed computing systems is a complex process requiring a solid understanding of the design problems and the theoretical and practical aspects of their solutions. This comprehensive textbook covers the fundamental principles and models underlying the theory, algorithms and systems aspects of distributed computing. Broad and detailed coverage of the theory is balanced with practical systems-related issues such as mutual exclusion, deadlock detection, authentication, and failure recovery. Algorithms are carefully selected, lucidly presented, and described without complex proofs. Simple explanations and illustrations are used to elucidate the algorithms. Important emerging topics such as peer-to-peer networks and network security are also considered. With state-of-the-art algorithms, numerous illustrations, examples and homework problems, this textbook is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of electrical and computer engineering and computer science...

Lower Car Insurance Price - 5 Considerations To Computing Your Car Insuranc
2008-06-06 05:17:00 Have you ever wonder why car insurance costs vary from one car insurance company to the other? This is due to the different type of computation factors that car insurance companies use to derive the car insurance cost. Based on the answers that you replied to the car insurance company, they will add or discount the cost before arriving at a final price for your car insurance. Thus, it is important for you to shop around first before you commit yourself to a particular car insurance company as different companies take a different view of the various high risk factors. We will look at some of the factors that car insurance companies take into considerations. 1. Having a clean driving record.Without a doubt, car insurance cost would increase if you have been convicted of a driving conviction. Thus, it pays to be a safe driver so that unnecessary costs won't be incurred. 2. Adding additional drivers to the policyBy adding additional drivers to the policy, extra premiums will be added. ...
Grid computing projects
2008-06-04 12:11:00 You've heard of SETI@HOME I'm sure. In one sense it has been a resounding success, on the other it has been a abject failure. It has been the most successful grid computing effort on record so far and yet it has essentially stuck a fork in the chance of there being technologically advanced aliens. People are now forced to hypothesize that a more advanced civilization will no longer use radio to communicate. This seems somewhat far fetched to me because of the simplicity of using radio waves for said communication. Current Grid Computing Projects Anyways, here is a list [Grid Computing Projects] of other grid computing efforts you can participate in. Currently this one might provide the most value: Malaria Control Project. Which illustrates the problem of what do you do with all the data that you generate? [update] If climate change floats your boat (it does NOT float mine) there is a distributed computing project for that: [linky] Future Grid Comp...

Westinghouse launched slew of new 1080p and 720p HDTV LCDs for $599
2008-06-04 08:31:00 Westinghouse continues their habit of releasing well-spec’d but average-performing displays today with a slew of new LCD HDTVs. On the 1080p front, the TX Series comes in 42, 47, and 52-inch flavors along with the 40-inch VK-40F580D — a 1080P DVD combo player that’s (aside from the $1,099 price) ironically missing Blu-ray.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos on cloud computing
2008-05-31 17:20:00 Not to slam our current crop of tech and business reporters, but it’s refreshing to see an interview with a tech CEO done to the point with relevance. Done at the D6 conference, Om Malik Questioned Mr Bezos on how Amazon web services got stated and where it’s going. Om also brought Wall Street’s complete ignorance of the significance of the cloud computing wave into focus. How and when Amazon began its cloud computing effort. Why Amazon has become an innovator with Amazon Web Services and how it relates to their core business of being an online retailer. Whether or not Wall Street recognizes Amazons cloud efforts. Whats next for Amazon Web Services. Whether or not Amazon has plans for a VC fund or for cloud computing startups. (GigaOm)

OLED the future of computing with Optimus Maximus keyboards?
2008-05-28 17:37:00 Optimus Maximus keyboard, will major computer manufacturers actually follow the example? One problem is the OLED tech used in the keyboard is a very expensive alternative to say a standard keyboard. However they are probably quite a few people out there with wads of cash in their pocket who would be will to fork over $1000 to grab hold of a keyboard like the Optimus Maximus. The advantage with the Optimus Maximus keyboard is every key image is fully customised separately for any of the applications. The need to display secondary symbols such as !ā€¯Ā£$% on the keys is no longer necessary as they appear automatically when the shift key is depressed. Keys that are never used can be removed, and language layout can be switched easily. There are loads of attractive but not too realistic technologies in the near future and OLED is definitely one to key your eye on. The differences between OLED and regular LCD displays are totally amazing, for instance did you know OLED screens can be as ...
