http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20110312a4.html This is an on going battle. It seems when Sony decided to start using litigation to solve it's problems are now going south. Although they have a temporary lift this is a very serious problem. LG is not a small potatoes company, they...

Nokia apparently has been bought to use windows mobile in there phones. Gee is this a surprise? Cyb

Article regarding the CPUs vague in my opinion.

The PORTABLE ATOMIC clock! woo hoo LOL I read this and said "how much is it?" Note this is a good thing but the cost is likely to be a deterent. (Notice the guy talks about military apps sheesh.) Actually I would love to have one of these for verifying the timing on an Oscilloscope as well...

Interesting article with a tear down of this device, and what makes it interesting is they used an FPGA device in it.

Microsoft just announced an SDK to work with the kinect! Now we can drive each other nuts with 3d photos and weird gaming interfaces! :D I just want to use it for 3d scene creation myself, time to get a kinnect. Cyb

I'm currently using a simple Galois LFSR (Linear Feedback Shift Register) algorithm for generating an iterative sequence for a locking mechanism (remove accidental and incidental issues in messing with somethings configuration). Keeping it simple is necessary because this is NOT A PC (a IBM XT...

Intel is announcing all sorts of things 14nm Fab http://eetimes.com/electronics-news/4213295/Intel-to-build-new-Arizona-fab- 8 IT cores in a chip http://eetimes.com/electronics-news/4213317/Intel-packs-eight-cores-into-Itanium-CPU Oversupply! (hmmm)...

All right you have been warned not to take this too seriously. I was laughing when I read this. I like the ONION news they have some rather humorous stuff on it at times. Cyb

http://eetimes.com/electronics-news/4212605/Four-core-ARM-A9-to-run-Sony-game-console I won't state my view of Sony's 'boring' announcement. I will say this, Sony is very likely to continue it's abusive marketing tactic of fake backwards compatibility on all there consoles (essentially they've...

Does anyone know where to get these? The author phased out win2K support and has no archival record of the prior versions (typical lazy programmer). I might have to make my own (just for learning and other reasons) I actually have a use for this (not ripping models and textures) for use with...

Currently I'm looking at these for short message data that is byte aligned. These algorithms appear to like double word aligned data. They also appear to be sensitive to endianess in some circumstances. I prefer to implement encryption in an encapsulated system (IE data goes in data goes out no...

This is an engineer who specializes in fixing screwed up projects, and educating development teams on proper methods for keeping projects on time, his commentary on poor grammar usage. :D It elicited quite a laugh from me, that sounds very familiar for some reason. Cyb

Those who like buying Apple stuff should consider the following article. Other Apple related commentary For Apple in 2010 Against Apple in 2010 Apple is making record profits by the way ... Cyb

This article might be quite revealing to some people (or a 'who cares' to others) in understanding what goes into making a processor as well as how you find out if someone stole my code (LOL). A few might also find this interesting about issues regarding compiler optimization (actually there...

http://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/papers/emsoft08-preprint.pdf Very interesting, as I am an embedded systems programmer the volatile keyword is very important to for handling hardware registers etc. that are memory mapped. I now have to check volatile types for the compiler I use damn it! GRRR...

Nvidia's Intel's Insides shows you that your favorite semi (for some) chip producer isn't such a 'nice' guy. Of course Intel has only been sued and slapped with illegal trade issues every other year for the last 20. Cyb

I have an embedded project that is close to driving me batty. Also not floating point here refers to single precision float only. double precision is not something you use on systems you have to scape for 1K of RAM (LOL). So here is it's I need to print formatted floating point data (float to...

This was big but a lot of you likely didn't know about it There have been a number of com pliancy issues with companies such as Skype, Verizon as well, Cisco's linksys not being the only one (see Voting machine company's even). The issue was raised much earlier for the problem by the FSF...
