(InfoWorld) - Fujitsu offered visitors to the Ceatec exhibition in Chiba, Japan, a look at how entertainment PCs of the future could be with the display of two prototype computer designs. The Turn Table PC represents one possibility for a home entertainment PC that can switch between being used as a notebook computer or as a digital turntable, allowing aspiring DJs to scratch and spin digital media files. TheTurn Table PC design calls for a 20-inch LCD (liquid crystal display screen) that can be folded closed to use the turntable function. The turntable function would be controlled by a touch screen on the outside of the notebook's lid. The other design that Fujistu showed is the Ultra Mobile, a handheld-computer design that calls for a touchscreen and includes a built-in digital camera for taking photos, as well as a digital music player and support for wireless Internet access. Measuring the same size as a CD jewel case, the Ultra Mobile design uses a novel method to turn the system on and off: users rotate the front half of the machine -- including the screen -- 45 degrees, changing the computer's shape from square to a star. Fujitsu has no plans to manufacture either design, said an attendant manning the company's booth.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.

Mike Willbanks has posted an introduction he's written up giving some helpful hints at tuning your servers and PHP applications for performance.   The focus of this post is not to show performance related items to specific PHP frameworks since many bottlenecks actually apply before running the framework itself that should certainly be solved up front. Therefore in this posting I attempt to look at simple items that can be deployed in order to produce finer tuned systems.  He talks about a few different aspects:  PHP Performance Tuning (opcode caching, apc file priming, includes, loops, etc) RDBMS Performance Tuning (indexes in queries, query caching, archiving) HTTP Performance Tuning (content compression, css sprites, limit modules, etc)

(InfoWorld) - Sales growth for x86 servers slowed in the fourth quarter of 2006 as buyers adopted virtualization technology and waited for quad-core processors, according to a Gartner report released Thursday. Hewlett-PackardÂ sold the most servers, but IBM collected the most money for them in 2006, the report said. Worldwide server shipments in the full year 2006 grew by 8.9 percent to 8.2 million units, but revenue grew only 2 percent to $52.7 billion, compared with 2005, according to Gartner. HP led the competition in server shipments, sending 2.2 million units out the door, up 8 percent from 2005. But IBM took the top spot on revenue with $16.9 billion, up 1.7 percent from the previous year. Shipments of x86 servers, the most widely deployed server platform, slowed in the fourth quarter, which held down full-year totals, said Gartner analyst Jeffrey Hewitt. The growth was "slower ... than we have seen in most recent years," Hewitt said in a prepared statement. "Most of that slowdown seems to be attributable to a lengthening of the sales cycle due to the anticipated introduction of quad-core x86 processors, with some lesser impact from x86 server virtualization." Virtualization software increases the utilization rate for servers, so a company could buy fewer servers than without virtualization. The report also showed continued strength for Sun, which posted a 15.4 percent gain in server revenue in 2006 to $5.7 billion. Sun also increased its revenue market share to 10.8 percent, replacing DellÂ (10.3 percent) in the number three spot. IBM led with 32.2 percent of the market, followed by HP at 28.2 percent. While Sun was the only vendor to report double-digit revenue growth, it shipped just 368,000 units, about one-seventh the number of units that market leader HP shipped.
