Building a Business on Open Source Distributed Computing: OSCON 2009 - ...
By Bradford Stephens
The end of "scale-up" computing is near. The coming wave of web-scale data is too big to justify exponentially increasing hardware costs for decreasing returns. Apache's "Cloud Stack" (Hadoop, Lucene, HBase, etc) is enabling Visible Technologies to move from a non-scalable MS-exclusive platform to a large cluster processing millions of pieces of content a day.Here's what we learned.

Review: Kerchoonz K-box Portable Speaker - O'Reilly Broadcast
By David Battino
Project Bar-B-Q is a great place to discover tomorrow's audio technology, so I was intrigued when someone on the mailing list mentioned the new Kerchoonz K-box portable speaker. Could "gel audio technology" really deliver unprecedented bass from a tiny box? The short answer is yes.

Speaker: David Rothman: O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing Conference ...
I founded TeleRead.org (link: http://www.teleread.org) - devoted to e-books, digital libraries and related topics. We're an influence in our little niche. TeleRead advocated OpenReader, which in turn helped spur the IDPF to release the ePub standard. I'm also author of The Silicon Jungle (Ballantine), The Complete Laptop Computer Guide (St. Martin's), and four other nonfiction books. In December 2008, Twilight Times Books will publish electronic and paper editions of The Solomon Scandals, my Washington newspaper novel--a mix of suspense and satire on D.C.'s oft-bizarre ways. Among the formats? ePub. My interests include e-book devices and related hardware such as OLPC's sharp-screened XO-1, e-libraries, copyright, business models for E, digital divide issues, the DRM debate, and, of course, format standards. I consider both traditional DRM and the Tower of eBabel, as I've dubbed it, to be lit- and sales-toxins in most cases. One possible DRM-related compromise might be social DRM.
