Outsider No More: Linux Critical In Many Data Centers (ChannelWeb)

In a sign of how much Linux has become a core element in many corporate data centers, many of the new products making their debut at this week's LinuxWorld show focus on such critical IT operations as data integration, disaster recovery and security management. That's a marked change from the past when a new Linux-related product was measured more by its "cool factor" than its utility.

Find the HTML tag you were looking for

There are so many HTML tags available it's no wonder many Web designers succumb to divitis. After all, it's a lot easier to just use a div than to figure out which tag is right for the job. But with the About.com HTML Tag and XHTML Element Library you can look up tags in many different ways and find just the right tag for what you're trying to mark up. And you can make sure that you're using your tags correctly including what browsers support the tags.

TransferJet Consortium Works Towards Touch Data Transfer Tech

Iddo Genuth writes to tell us that many of the large tech companies have banded together in order to develop TransferJet technology. Discussed earlier this year, TransferJet promises to allow rapid data transfer between devices in close proximity. "The group of companies involved in the development of TransferJet has been tagged the 'TransferJet Consortium' and includes many industry giants such as Sony, Canon, Kodak, Nikon, Pioneer, Toshiba, Samsung and many others. The companies intend to market a broad array of products and services incorporating TransferJet technology with the intention of increasing its usage through the consumer electronics industry. With this new technology, there will be no need for access points or complex data transfer setups.

MP3 players with good taste in music

Music can be a powerful emotional and psychological trigger for many people. Heck, it even has a physical effect on people--anyone who can't help but tap her feet and nod her head when listening to an infectious beat can attest to that. For precisely these reasons, many die-hard music fans will spend hours on end creating the perfect playlists for lounging, working out, commuting, and generally affecting mood and motion. Unfortunately, many of the rest of us don't have the time--or desire--to create all the specifically tailored playlists we could ever want. So what's a casual listener to do?

Why Linux Still Gives Me Grief

IconSeveral days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

KDE 4.1 Released

IconEarlier this year, the KDE team released the highly-anticipated 4th major revision of the KDE desktop. Instead of bringing evolutionary changes, KDE 4.0 effectively delivered a complete rewrite of KDE, and as a consequence the first release of the KDE 4 branch lacked a lot of features of KDE 3.x, while also being quite unstable and rough. Many even complained the KDE team shouldn't have released KDE 4.0 as 4.0, but rather as a developer preview release or something similar. During this storm of criticism, the KDE team calmly pointed out that KDE 4.1 would fix many, many of the issues people had with KDE 4.0. Starting today, there's no more pointing towards KDE 4.1: KDE 4.1 has been released today.

Many economists skeptical of bailout

Many of the same economists and opinion-makers who'd provided a bipartisan sheen of consensus to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's previous moves have quickly begun casting doubts on the wisdom of a policy that would allow Treasury to purchase without oversight hundreds of billions of dollars of difficult-to-price assets from financial institutions.

Many Texas Pets, Zoo Animals Spared Ike's Wrath

Although Hurricane Ike devastated stretches of the U.S. Gulf Coast this past weekend, rescue crews are finding that improved evacuation procedures—and a bit of luck—helped many of the area's animals weather the storm.

How Many Linux Users Are There? Will We Ever Know?

IconThe traditional market share numbers would say that Linux is currently at less than 1%, but some more recent numbers suggest that it might, in fact, be almost even with the Mac. This all brings the question of how many Linux users are there really? Unfortunately, we may never know. Certainly, there is no way of knowing currently, but it should be possible to at least get a rough estimate.

How to Upgrade and Reap the Many Benefits of iPhone 2.0

A few weeks ago, more than a million new (and old) iPhone users lined up at the Apple Store to pick up the iPhone 3G. (As you probably know, $199 for the 8 GB, $299 for 16 GB.) Considering there were more than six million iPhone users before the new 3G model, many of the previous users opted not to pick it up - not right away, at least.

The game of Dominos has been passed up through the generations since its conception in the early eleven hundreds.

Problem of violent youth goes beyond video games

MANY identify with Andre Jensen‘s comments that some video games may be causal factors in violent behaviour amongst the youth (“Violent video games to blame for mass killings”, The Herald, September 26). It is undeniable that many of these games are unnecessarily violent, if not mindless.

Google Analytics

Many businesses rely on their Web site, not only as a first port of call for sales enquiries and online sales, but also as the primary channel for building its brand and customer relationships. This is especially important for smaller businesses which have tighter budgets and cannot rely on advertising budgets and public awareness to drive sales. Small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) can reap huge benefits from having a successful Web site, but what many don’t realise is that a poorly performing site can have an equally damaging impact on their reputation.

Online retail: do or die

Many people in Australia buy their fashionable clothing over the internet. They can easily buy clothes, shoes and handbags over the internet, saving themselves time and money. This poses a threat to high street retailers, who are seeing younger customers drift to online stores. In online chat forums, consumers can chat about their favourite fashions, telling each other what fashion items are "hot" or not. Fashion retailer Sportsgirl has had great success with its online store, as have stores such as Witchery, Rebel Sport and Victoria's Secret. Many consumers in Australia also shop online at Ezibuy. High street retailers need to attract younger people back to their stores, or lose market share
