Great write up comparing 3 rivaling DVR solutions. TiVo, Windows XP MCE (Media Center Edition), and an HD Scientific Atlanta recorder provided by a cable company. The Windows box has some interesting features and is closer to a TiVo than I would’ve guessed. There’s only one problem….it runs Windows :( .

If a burglar triggers the device he is sprayed with the water. It remains invisible to the naked eye but cannot be removed from the clothes or skin for months and glows bright green under a UV torch.

Police can then scour the streets with high-powered UV torches that illuminate suspects and immediately prove a burglar was at the scene of a crime.

This article provides an interesting insight into Google’s recipe for a successful web service provider. Specifically, they use thousands of cheaper PC’s with the expectation that they fail more often, but then write their software to expect this. They also have their own file system (GFS – Google Filesystem) which I was not aware of.

Data is replicated in three places, and there is a “master” machine that can locate copies of a piece of data, such as a keyword index, if the original is out of commission.

“The court finds that the president has no power, neither expressed nor implied, neither constitutional nor statutory, to hold petitioner as an enemy combatant,”

I’m thinkin a lot of the things he’s done probably fall under that statement.
