Raspberry Pi and Arduino
Mon May 7 16:45:15 2012 from www.raspberrypi.org:
We’ve been a bit sad to see some people who are very passionate about the Arduino community coming down quite hard on the Raspberry Pi project as the Big Bad, suggesting that we’re trying to encroach on Arduino’s territory and offering unfair competition. It’s really not the case; we think Arduino is a marvellous thing, and we don’t feel the two are comparable – you’ll be using them for different things. Arduino uses a microcontroller; Raspberry Pi uses an applications processor. There are so... [Read More..]

Introducing GCMS v2
Mon Apr 30 03:49:58 2012 by Eric Hokanson:
You may have noticed a few changes around here. After roughly two years of work I have finally reached a milestone on the second version of my content management system, Gatherer. After Google changed everything with the introduction of Google+, it broke the way the old version worked. It was time to bring everything up to date anyway.
While based on the same technologies, GCMS v2 is almost a complete rewrite of its predecessor. It now uses the entire Zend Framework application stack, the new Smarty 3 templating engine, and the HTML 5/CSS 3 Twitter Bootstrap template. As before, GCMS has the ability to automatically import feeds from RSS or ATOM but can now also import from Google+.
The code is completely open source under the LGPL3 license and is now hosted on GitHub. I still consider it in a beta stage at this point but it should be largely functional. Feel free to send along those pull requests!

Amazon's Cloud Now 1% of Internet Traffic
Wed Apr 18 20:03:24 2012 from rss.slashdot.org:
An anonymous reader writes "A Wired story claims Amazon's cloud now hosts enough companies and traffic to generate 1% of all Internet traffic (and visits from 1/3 of daily Internet users). An amazing number if true. And a little scary for one company to host this much cloud infrastructure."

I've recently decided to give their cloud another try and would have to agree they have made some great improvements in the last year. You can count me among that 1%.
