DARPA Grants Sun $44M for 'Macrochip' Development

2008-03-26T17:05:00.001-07:00

Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: JAVA) has locked down a US$44.29 million research deal with which it could develop a "macrochip" that speeds up ultra-complex computing processes through laser technology.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company has finalized a 5 1/2-year contract with the U.S. Department of Defense's chief research and development agency -- the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency -- that Sun says presents "a unique opportunity to develop supercomputers through interconnecting an array of low-cost chips, with the potential to overcome the fundamental cost and performance limits of scaling up today's large computer systems."

Combining unprecedented bandwidth, low latency and low-power interconnections this way could help create applications for an array of organizations to use in energy exploration, biotechnology and weather simulation, Sun said.

Yielding New Technologies

"The most significant bit here is when we -- I mean the entire industry -- build supercomputers, we feel constrained in data communications," Ron Ho, distinguished engineer at Sun Labs and one of three researchers heading the project, told TechNewsWorld. "Schlepping all this data back and forth uses a lot of power."

The researchers -- Sun engineer Ashok Krishnamoorthy is principal investigator, assisted by Ho and John Cunningham, from Sun's microelectronics group -- hope to cut the power to transmit data by two or three orders of magnitude, Ho said.

The research also is likely to yield new technologies along the way, he added.

"The nature of research at an industrial company is that you set these long-term goals for long overarching projects and what comes out gets inserted in the product development line as you go along," Ho noted. "The focus of the program is to make optical communication extremely efficient. If you think about people communicating using optics today, the focus has been getting data over long-haul communications paths, but power hasn't been the focus. You need to get the power costs lower."

The project is part of DARPA's Ultraperformance Nanophotonic Intrachip Communication (UNIC) program and will begin with $8.1 million paid to Sun's Microelectronics and Laboratories divisions.

"Currently, microprocessor chips have of the order of one billion transistors per square centimeter, and this number will increase over the coming years," DARPA spokesperson Jan Walker told TechNewsWorld. "Facilitating communication between these ultrahigh density functional elements and the external world is becoming increasingly more difficult."

The UNIC program will address this communications challenge directly and efficiently "at the chip level," Walker said.

"By restoring the balance between computation and communications, the program will significantly enhance DoD's capabilities for applications such as image processing, autonomous operations, synthetic aperture radar and supercomputing," she added.

iphone Lets Developers Inside

2008-03-06T20:07:00.000-08:00

In a special media event for journalists and industry analysts Thursday, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) unveiled its iPhone Software Roadmap. As was widely expected, Apple announced details for its Software Development Kit (SDK) for the iPhone and in a surprise move went even farther than expected by announcing significantly beefed up support for enterprise environments.

All of the new features are tied up in the iPhone 2.0 software, which is available to businesses and developers now in beta form but won't be available to consumers until late June.

When late June arrives -- which happens to to the one-year anniversary of the iPhone -- consumers will be able to install the 2.0 software update on their iPhones and buy third-party applications and games.

"We're excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community with potentially thousands of native applications for iPhone and iPod touch," noted Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

"iPhone's enterprise features combined with its revolutionary Multi-Touch user interface and advanced software architecture provide the best user experience and the most advanced software platform ever for a mobile device," he added.

Free tool blocks Facebook, MySpace, and Yahoo ActiveX vulnerabilities

2008-02-05T12:27:00.000-08:00

A researcher over at the Internet Storm Center has created a powerful GUI that will set the kill-bits on vulnerable ActiveX controls used in Facebook, Myspace, and Yahoo apps. These popular apps came under attack on Monday after researchers Elazar Broad and Krystian Kloskowski disclosed their findings to a online security newsgroup.

On Tuesday, exploits for the Yahoo apps were reported circulating. There is currently no patch from the individual vendors, so the only workaround is to disable the several specific, vulnerable ActiveX controls.

The SANS tool, available here eliminates the risks associated with editing the Windows system registry file. A command line version is available here.

The kill-bit tool first checks your system to see if any of the vulnerable CLSIDs exist. If so, the tool saves a copy of any values currently set, then updates the display to show that the CLSID exists. It also shows whether the kill-bit flag is set. To set the kill-bit, just check the box beside any of the affected ActiveX controls then click on the "Set" button. Unchecking any of the boxes will either reset the "Compatibility Flags" to their saved value or remove the CLSID entirely (if you didn't have the control installed in the first place).

SANS suggests setting the kill-bits for all of the affected ActiveX controls, and, even if you don't currently have one or more of these CLSIDs installed on your machine, go ahead set the kill-bit for controls that might be added to your system in the future.

The Importance of Web Reports

2007-09-06T06:27:00.000-07:00

The Cal Coast Web Design Consultation program began at the end of last month. The program, designed to keep Cal Coast clients involved and up to date with their websites and how they are performing has been working rather well. I have spoken with several clients so far and they were all performing from good to outstanding.

Many of these clients however had never looked at their SEO web reports which is crucial in staying involved with your website. I coached all of them on how to access and read these reports and they were received very well. I blogged yesterday about staying involved with your site and how your involvement or lack there of can make or break the success of your website. Even for those of you who don’t or haven’t yet read your web report you should today! For those clients who are not interested in a monthly consultation call with Cal Coast reading these reports is the only way to gauge how your website is performing. For those of you who aren't sure how to access your web report send us an email and we'll help you out! If you know what your login informatoin is then simply click here to begin.

How Involved Are You?

2007-09-05T06:07:00.000-07:00

Scott Jarvis is an Internet veteran with fifteen years of experience under his belt. Through the years he has worked for company's who set up websites for their clients and then assist these same clients with changes to their website and offering up tips on how to make their sites perform better within the search engines.

Now a member of the Cal Coast Web Design team, Scott continues to see one issue that keeps websites from becoming top performing websites. "Most website owners are content paying a company to set up a product or service for them and then they sit back and wait for results." This is one of the single biggest mistakes a website owner can make, especially when dealing with Search Engine Optimization.

You'll want to remember that the more you get involved with your website and the more proactive you are with it the better your chances are you'll see great results. Below are things you can do as Cal Coast Clients to stay involved.

1. Devote a few minutes each day to your website looking it over and right down any questions, concerns, and changes you may have and then communicate them to your web designer.

2. Blog about your website as often as possible. All Cal Coast clients have blogs assigned to them when they begin their relationship with us. Blogging is an excellent way to get your keywords exposed to the search engines.

3. Check your web reports a few times a month to see how your website is performing within the search engines. Communicate any concerns and questions you may have to the Cal Coast support staff.

4. Continue to think of and add new content to your website. Content is still "king" as far as the search engines are concerned so adding new information to your website always helps your ranking!

Any questions about these tips should be communicated to the Cal Coast team here!

Since we are a leading online retailer of almost every computer part from tape drives to server memory, we receive a lot of questions about our policies for payment, shipping, returns and all those other administrative tasks associated with buying hard drives or media storage products online.

While we’ve always outlined our policies on our Web site, we thought we would post a link to them here as well, so that anyone reading this insightful blog could easily find a copy of Computer Giants’ policies. Visit our Policies page to find out about our return policy on our hard drives, backup media, scsi cards and other products as well as read about our fraud protection, shipping, payment and privacy policies. Our goal is always to provide our clients with the best service possible and we look forward to doing business with you. Thanks again for the support.

Computer Giants Enters Into Agreement with Sony Electronics to Deliver High Capacity Media Storage Products to Online Consumers

2007-05-15T16:21:00.000-07:00

New York, New York – April 20, 2007 – Computer Giants (http://www.computergiants.com/), a leading online retailer of hard drives, media storage products, computer parts and accessories, recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Sony Electronics to carry the company’s media storage products on its Web site. In addition to showcasing Sony products on its online media storage and hard drive store, Computer Giants will also be offering exclusive specials, discounts and rebates on the products.

As part of the agreement, Computer Giants is now featuring Sony’s popular AIT-2 Turbo media storage product on its Web site and is offering an exclusive Sony rebate on the item. The “Why Wait Rebate” on the AIT-2 Turbo is available to all Computer Giant customers and offers buyers the opportunity to purchase a higher capacity, better performance media storage product than traditional DDS/DAT tape format options at a more economical price tag.

“The AIT-2 Turbo is currently available, while the DAT 160 and DAT 72 tape format media storage products are still under development,” says Justin Briggs, director of product management and marketing, Computer Giants. “Our customers need a media storage option now, and when we spoke with Sony about their AIT-2 Turbo product we were extremely excited about its higher charity and stellar performance. We are working with Sony to offer our customers a rebate on this product so that it is effectively the same price as the tape media products.”

The AIT-2 Turbo replaces tape media storage, which is quickly becoming outdated as computer systems continue to be delivered with larger disk drive capacities. Since many systems are now too large to be backed up on a single tape, AIT-2 Turbo was developed to provide a larger capacity media storage option. The Sony AIT Turbo lineup can match current and future storage requirements with up to 80 GB native capacity per drive at a backup speed of up to 12 MB/s while offering multiple interfaces with industry leading reliability.

“We are honored to be selected by Sony to provide exclusive rebates on its AIT-2 Turbo product,” says Briggs. “At Computer Giants, we strive to bring our customers the latest technology at the best prices and this agreement with Sony will allow us to do just that.”

Computer Giants was founded in 1999 and is one of the first dedicated computer parts resellers to operate its business online. The company, which had revenues topping $38 million dollars in 2006, is a leading storage and information technology reseller and offers a comprehensive list of computer parts and peripherals from every major manufacturer. With offices in New York and California, Computer Giants has gained the ability to leverage its relationships in order to provide superior service, quality and pricing to its valued customers.

Love from a Mac Fan

We got another great letter from a blog reader who saw our last blog about our online Mac/Apple store. And, of course, we thought we would share it with you.

“Thanks for the heads up about your Mac store. I was checking out your blog yesterday and saw that you carried Apple products. I was a little skeptical about what type of deals a hard drive and storage retailer would have on Macs, but decided to check out your site. I was very pleasantly surprised to see what great selection of Mac products you carried. And your prices were great too. I ordered the new eMac G4 with SuperDrive and can’t wait for it to arrive. Thanks for the great price – I’ll definitely shop Computer Giants again.”

Tape Formats vs. the Sony AIT-2 Turbo

2007-04-25T06:42:00.000-07:00

Since we highlighted our Sony AIT-2 Turbo “Why Wait Rebate” on our blog a few days ago, we thought we would follow-up with a great email we received from a customer who just purchased the AIT-2 Turbo media storage product.

“Thanks guys for the heads up on the Sony AIT rebate. I had been planning on buying another tape drive (the DAT 72) when I came across your rebate offer. I had always thought the AIT-2 Turbo was a great media storage system, but it was a bit out of my price range. Thanks to your rebate, I got a great product at nearly the same price as I was planning to spend on a tape drive.”

We’re so glad that our “Why Wait Rebate” is getting so much play. If you want to know more about the ATI-2 Turbo product and our current specials, visit our online media storage and hard drive store for all the details.

Why Wait for a great Media Storage Option

2007-04-21T18:17:00.000-07:00

Computer Giants recently announced that it has partnered with Sony Electronics to provide a “Why Wait Rebate” to our customers purchasing a Sony ATI-2 Turbo media storage product. The Sony AIT-2 Turbo is a great alternative to standard tape formats and is available now, unlike DAT 160 and DAT 72 products.

The AIT-2 Turbo offers higher capacity and superior performance to standard tape formats and can fit current and future storage needs with up to 80 GB native capacity per drive at a backup speed of up to 12 MB/s. The product also offers multiple interfaces with industry leading reliability. So Why Wait for a tape format product that will most likely take multiple tapes to complete a single back up when Sony’s AIT-2 Turbo is better equipped, available now and is effectively the same price when purchased through Computer Giants? We don’t know why you’d wait either.

Spring Cleaning for your Hard Drive

2007-03-15T16:34:00.000-07:00

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your basement and closets. It’s a great idea to try spring cleaning your computer! If you’re not already backing up your computer on a regular basis, now is a great time to start. Accidents happen, and whether it’s an unauthorized user that has accidentally deleted your photo library or an ill-placed can of Mountain Dew that has coated your motherboard in a sticky goo, you’re going to wish you had backed up your system if ever an accident occurs.

Of course, cleaning your system can also greatly enhance your computer’s performance. Transferring old data, family photos or downloaded movies to a fibre channel hard drive or Seagate tape drive can free up tremendous space on your computer. While you could also burn a lot of information onto a CD, if you’re like most folks out there, after a few months you’ll be drowning in a sea of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. While these types of storage devices are great for less prolific techies, those of you with thousands of music files, movies or photos should consider adding a hard drive to their system to house these types of files.
