Incredibly small and low power server

Check out this new server I saw today from Xi3. Here are the specs:
Dual core AMD processor
4 gb ram
128 gb internal flash storage.
40 watts on the server power draw.
Under $2000

Plus its very elegantly designed. The outer case acts as ad additional heat sink.
Appeals to mobile Datacenter needs, DR, first responders, etc.
see xi3.org for more info.

Pretty cool

RadioTaxis offer carbon offsets in London

Noticed this on my way to Heathrow this morning. They charge their corporate clients extra so that normal passengers do not see a higher rate.

Clever

I wonder if it changes people’s choice of which cab company to choose.

$25 PC as a giveaway in schools

I’m traveling currently in London and just happened to run across this – sent from a colleague:

David Braben has a great idea here.  It gets low cost computers in all homes and schools – plugs into your TV, all you need is keyboard and mouse and a high speed connection to all your data stored in the cloud.

Get the full story here.

Brilliant!
