It is being billed as the next VHS versus Betamax, the seminal TV technology culture clash that left millions of pieces of domestic equipment obsolete almost as soon as they had been built.

Microsoft is applying for a patent for an operating system that starts out crippled.  You must pay to do things like take the throttle off network speed, disk access, install drivers, install software, and more.  Trust me, I rarely even visit Groklaw, even if this is my second consecutive blog entry with a link to a Groklaw article. My VarLinux.org readers posted the article, A Brave New Modular World, and I had to share it.

The combination of technologies like SATA disk drives, grid architectures, de-duplication, removable disk cartridges and asynchronous replication coupled with their faster speeds and higher reliability ratings are simply too much for tape to withstand any longer. Expect to say goodbye to tape as a backup's primary target yet in your career.

A few years ago, when MP3 players were establishing themselves as the hot cool thing, the next step seemed clear: What if you could take along not only music but movies, television programs, home video and still pictures in a high-tech box svelte enough

If you&#39;re a computer user, you may have several of them stacked on your desk. We&#39;re talking about floppy disks - and they are pretty much becoming extinct.

By BENJAMIN J. ROMANO, THE SEATTLE TIMES  It's getting harder to tell the difference between a television and a computer.  You might have read something like that in the mid-1990s, but never before have both platforms shared so many capabilities.

NEW YORK - Now that digital music players have evolved beyond the ability to store 20 gigabytes worth of music, storage capacity memory is no longer the only factor to consider before buying.

(Source: Storix)  The need for rapid system recovery is more important than ever in this day and age when an entire business model can hinge on a company's properly functioning servers. In the event of hardware failure, a bare metal recovery can take days or weeks, especially if the new systems are not identical to the ones that went down. This white paper discusses advances in bare metal recovery that use file-level backup, known as ASR (adaptable system recovery), that enable quick restore, even from bare metal and onto hardware that is dissimilar from the original system. The paper will also discuss how file-level backup and recovery has the ability to improve a wide variety of IT tasks, including bare metal system recovery, restoration to virtual environments; and hardware migration. Read this white paper to learn how only file-level backup and recovery (or ASR) enables organizations to meet ambitious recovery time objectives with greater flexibility.

As you may recall from my last entry, I exchanged my cable box from a Scientific Atlanta 8000HD to a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD.  The latter, new box continues to output a signal from the cable connection even if I have it in HDTV mode.  It probably also continues to output AVI and S-Video.  This finally opened up a way for me to use my cable box with a MythTV box.   Thanks to a serious (and mysterious) spinal injury (I say mysterious because I haven't figured out how I did the damage), I can only work on the project for a half hour at a time, at most.  I have discovered some interesting things in those short segments.
