Nvidia has Ion netbooks

That tiny circuit board is a Pico-ITX motherboard with an Intel Atom processor and an Nvidia GeForce 9400M GPU. It's a reference design featuring Nvidia's new Ion platform created for netbooks and small-form-factor (SFF) PCs. The problem with current netbooks is that almost all of them ship with Intel integrated graphics which makes them not so great for gaming. The GeForce 9400M isn't a powerhouse compared to discrete desktop graphics cards, but it's better than Intel's integrated stuff and good enough for games like World of Warcraft and Spore.

We saw several SFF Ion boxes on display at CES demonstrating the platform's high-definition video playback performance. Nvidia estimates that Ion-enabled netbook and SFF systems will retail for around $400 but no major system manufacturers have announced Ion-based systems yet. Perhaps Intel has something to do with that.

Razer shows off Mamba and Carcharias

It took seven years but Razer finally has a wireless gaming mouse: the Razer Mamba. Razer founder Robert Krakoff told us that the company started planning for a wireless mouse as early as 2001, but "would only do it if the wireless one could perform as well as a wired one." Krakoff credits the firmware design team for figuring out how to do wireless with minimal latency. The Mamba offers a 1,000Hz polling rate in both 2.4GHz wireless and wired modes (you can plug in the cord when it's time to recharge). The Mamba looks similar to Razer's popular DeathAdder model, but it has a few ergonomic improvements and an upgraded 5600DPI laser engine. Other features include onboard memory for profile saves, Teflon feet, and a traditional charging dock for players that refuse to touch cords.

The retail box resembles a trophy stand that has the Mamba sitting in the center of the package. Please forgive the fingerprints on the case--conference attendees had all morning to fondle the box before we got the chance to take a picture. The mouse will be available next month for $129.

Razer also had its newly announced Carcharias headset on display at its CES booth. The Carcharias features the circum-aural earpiece design that we love because the earpieces sit over the ears instead of pressing down on them. The built-in microphone uses noise filtering to ensure that your teammates hear nothing except your sweet voice when you're barking out orders. The headset will be available later this month for $79.

Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightSticks are awesome

We just met with Mad Catz's Alex Verrey here in our San Francisco offices to get hands-on with the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV product line-up and to find out what makes them special.

First off, forget everything that you might remember about the cheap Mad Catz accessories from the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube days. All of Mad Catz's new Street Fighter IV controllers have tremendous build quality and feel terrific in hand. The company worked with Capcom and expert players to make sure that the sticks meet the standards of serious Street Fighter enthusiasts. Mad Catz also had to get the approval of Capcom Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono on aesthetics and controls, and he wasn't afraid to send the joysticks back for more work if the button layout wasn't correct or if the controls didn't feel right.

Playing with the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition is as close to the arcade experience as you're going to get. The stick uses the exact same Sanwa joystick and buttons found in the actual Street Fighter IV arcade cabinets in Japan. You used to have to build your own stick or get someone in a fighting game forum to make one for you if you wanted a controller that used genuine arcade parts. The FightStick is also very easy to mod in case you wanted to change out the artwork or even swap in an American-style joystick and convex buttons.

Experienced players will appreciate several features on the stick. The designers placed the start and select buttons on the front part of the box well out of the way of the joystick and buttons to prevent any inadvertent mid-game pauses. The controller also has a lock switch that disables the turbo and, depending on platform, the Xbox Guide or PlayStation Home buttons. A lot of players like to bring their sticks with them when visiting friends or traveling to competitions so the Tournament Edition stick has a small compartment for cable storage.

The Tournament Edition stick will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the US on Feb. 17 for $149. The sticks aren't cross-console compatible but they will both work with the PC. Pre-orders have already sold out for the initial 3,000 unit launch allocation, but another shipment will arrive in late February according to Alex.

Mad Catz will also ship a regular Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick for players looking for a more affordable joystick. The standard stick is smaller than the Tournament Edition and doesn't feature Sanwa hardware, but the joystick and buttons still feel great and you can't argue with the price. The PS3 version will retail for $69 and the Xbox 360 will sell for slightly more, $79, due to higher console licensing fees. The standard stick is as easy to mod as the Tournament Edition, so modders might want to pick up this model as a starter kit.

Ricardo sat down with Capcom's Seth Killian at CES last week to find out about the new Street Fighter IV sticks Mad Catz put together with the help of Capcom. Check out the video in case you missed it.

How MIDs Are Complicating Mobile Linux Development

Mobile Internet devices are gaining in popularity, and manufacturers have increasingly chosen Linux as the operating system best suited for the device type. As the market segment begins to differentiate, developers should look to solutions that allow for more flexible development, writes Jason Whitmire of Wind River.

The mobile Internet device (MID) is the most exciting new device category to hit the market since the smartphone. A MID is a handheld device that delivers high-speed wireless Internet and multimedia services, typically with a 4- to 7-inch screen form factor. Most MIDs will be based on the Linux operating system (OS) and at less than half the cost of an average laptop, MIDs are an appealing new alternative.

Like the smartphone, there will not be a prototypical MID. Many analysts predict that this type of device will require vigorous segmentation and differentiation in order to achieve broad market support, which will drive unique vertical platform instantiations based on the needs of the target market that the device supports. A MID manufacturer will aim some device models at gamers with accelerated 3-D graphics and multimedia support, while building other MIDs with Web camera, instant message and telephony support to address the specific needs of social networkers. Business users will require enterprise application integration and voice control while buyers looking for an inexpensive all-in-one device will want as many features crammed into the small MID footprint as possible.

Due to this differentiation, MID manufacturers will face the challenge of managing the software stack for multiple MID products while simultaneously keeping development and support costs down. There will be many common components between platforms forming a core software product, but the unique features of the targeted vertical platforms will require different supporting packages in each vertical MID's software stack. As an embedded device, MIDs will universally require a small OS footprint with optimized performance for features including "instant on/off" and power management, while supporting packages for the business user may be substantially different than those for the gamer.

Embedded Device Needs

Unlike desktop and laptop Linux distributions, which typically have the luxury of ample storage, processing, and memory resources, MID developers will need to customize the Linux kernel to their specific devices. Linux for embedded systems requires developers to build an optimized run-time image by utilizing the appropriate toolchain and a build system to package the run-time components.

To do this, MID developers will need a more complex build environment than with a laptop that allows for asynchronous development, software separation and accelerated integration.

Kernel Configurations

To maintain optimal productivity with a core MID product and unique vertical platforms, the developer will need to isolate kernel configuration changes based on the specific vertical product. In addition, the developer will want to minimize the need to fork development trees and maintain a simplified product structure.

This will provide the added benefit of speeding up diagnoses of potential bugs that may be introduced when adding unique components for each vertical product.

Distributed Teams

Many device development teams work in disparate geographies to increase productivity or to take advantage of lower-cost locations. In addition, co-located teams often work independently on different parts of the stack to speed time to market.

It is essential for the build environment to support this asynchronous development process for MID manufacturers to keep costs down and to help get their products to market as quickly as possible.

Maintaining the Software

In addition to open source packages, MIDs will likely offer features based on commercial code, and a sophisticated build environment will help developers manage packages from both the proprietary and community sources. This is essential because as proprietary code and open source packages are updated, these updates must be applied not only to a single product instantiation, but to the entire product line.

The build environment that maintains a core product and places the differentiating components in separately identifiable structures can facilitate the upgrade process and help keep maintenance costs down, resulting in faster rebuilds to various vertical platforms when the core platform is updated. Similarly, during the development process, the ideal build system would allow the quality assurance team to apply coding defect fixes into a separate structure for the integration team to later incorporate with fix issues found in other parts of the core product or differentiated components.

Open Source Complications

With the incorporation of both commercial and community code, protecting the commercial intellectual propertyis extremely important. Ideally, a build system would help isolate commercial code from open source code while also maintaining the origin of all code. With this transparency, the code origin is traceable, which helps with indemnification.

In the future, MID manufacturers will offer unique vertical products differentiated by targeted feature lists. This product approach will challenge software developers to maintain a core product containing common code while also offering support for unique product features. A robust build system supporting asynchronous development and software separation while easing package integration will help MID manufacturers lay the foundation for cost-effective product development, rapid innovation and easier market segmentation.

Freescale Eyes Cheap Linux Netbooks With New Chip Design

Freescale's new i.MX515 processor is built for netbooks -- low-cost Linux netbooks, specifically. Working with organizations like Pegatron, Freescale has drawn up a reference design for OEMs that ties in its processor, Ubuntu Linux and Adobe Flash Lite to create a netbook that could retail for as low as $200.

Freescale Semiconductor has launched a new low-cost processor, the i.MX515, that's designed to power what Freescale hopes will be new lines of Linux-based netbooks retailing for less than US$200.

There are lots of interesting angles to Freescale's efforts -- the lower price point, the technology behind the i.MX515, and a new path for Linux into the minds of everyday consumers.

First, the Price

Most netbooks retail in the $300 to $400 range, so a sub-$200 netbook obviously could generate a lot of consumer appeal. Designed for basic Web browsing, e-mail and related tasks, netbooks aren't designed to handle heavy-duty computing . Intel's (Nasdaq: INTC) Atom processors are currently featured in many netbooks, and Freescale's new processor play could give it a price edge over Intel. Companies that make the actual computers, then, could use Freescale processors to create new netbooks that undercut today's already low prices.

Consumers are expected to purchase 140 million netbooks in 2013, compared with 15 million sold in 2008, according to ABI Research.

"As was evident in the 2008 holiday season, the netbook market has exploded due to consumer demand for affordable and compact devices that allow users to conduct routine tasks like social networkingor shopping on the Web," noted Philip Solis, principal analyst at ABI Research.

"The netbook market is still in its infancy, and it represents a huge market opportunity for companies like Freescale. As advanced platforms for netbooks become increasingly available, price points will drop and the market will expand," he added.

The i.MX515 Package

Integrating an ARM (Nasdaq: ARMHY) Cortex-A8 core and manufactured using 65-nm process technology, the i.MX515 provides up to 2,100 Dhrystone MIPS (million instructions per second) and can scale in performance from 600 MHz to 1 GHz, according to Freescale. Freescale's advanced power management features included a dedicated, hardware-based video acceleration block, which the company says will allow for extended battery life and eliminate the need for fans or heat sinks.

Freescale also notes that the i.MX515 will let original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build netbooks that can run for eight hours with 8.9-inch displays.

On the memory front, the i.MX515 supports both DDR2 and mobile DDR1, giving netbook designers more options for configuring their solutions -- again, this is designed to let OEMs create netbooks at the lowest possible price points.

The new processor also offers both OpenVG and OpenGL graphics cores for 2-D and 3-D graphics as well as Flash, which is particularly important since Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) Flash-based video is so widely used online. Freescale says it's working with Adobe to enable the Adobe software to run on the processor's dedicated OpenVG graphics block, which will extend battery life and keep the consumer browsing experience rich and responsive.

Working with Pegatron, Freescale has created a comprehensive netbook reference design based on the i.MX515 processor, Canonical's Ubuntu, and Adobe FlashLite.

More Linux!

If netbooks continue to flourish -- and if they continue to run Linux -- might Linux break through to everyday consumers and gain mindshare in the consumer marketplace?

"When it comes to netbooks, I think people are buying them for the hardware and form factor of the small computer instead of the software running on it. That's to say, people will be fine with using Linux if that's the OS (operating system) on it. I'm sure they'd be fine using Windows if that was on it, too," Michael Coté, an analyst for RedMonk, told LinuxInsider.

"You can find netbooks in places like Target, which I was actually surprised to see. The price of $299 to $399 still seems kind of steep for the 'casual' type of interest I'd see driving netbook sales, but if it was lowered another $50 to $100, maybe it wouldn't be too crazy to think that people would buy them, especially if there were some compelling applications beyond Web browsing, e-mail checking, and the like," he explained.

"So, in that regard, if netbook prices are low enough to drive a large volume of sales, then sure, it'd help out with Linux adoption," he added

Gadget Gawking at CES: Mini Projectors Still Just Good Ideas

There's a pall over CES this year, with exhibitors demonstrating a stiff upper lip along with their gadgets. There are hot spots, of course, and no shortage of cool concepts -- but some of them, like the pocket projector, aren't quite ready for prime time.

The doors to the Las Vegas convention center opened Thursday, and the Consumer Electronics Show is now officially in full swing.

I'm in no position to do an official head count, of course, but the crowd seems just a little thinner than it did last time I was here. Sure, there are the occasional bottlenecks with the crowding and the elbows and the coughing right next to your face, but certain parts of certain halls just seem kind of dead. I can find places to sit in the press room and the slop stands. Is it really less crowded? Perhaps the constant message from exhibitors ("Yes, it's economic Armageddon, but we're doing fine") has tinted my perceptions. Who knows?

There's also a greenish hue hanging over the show. Exhibitors are giving out fewer paper press kits, opting instead to give out CDs, thumb drives, or adding a "/ces" to the end of their Web sites. I'm a big fan of that last one -- the less crap I have to carry around, the better -- but it would be much more useful if there were greater free WiFi access throughout the center.

Pocket Projectors

I dropped by Optoma to get a look at its Pico projector, which began shipping last month. This is something I'd read a great deal about but wanted to see in person.

The Pico is a US$399 DLP projector, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, that hooks up to a digital camera, iPod or iPhone. It lets you display your photos on any wall or screen, anywhere. Optoma says it'll project images at sizes up to 100 times that of the device's small screen.

The LED light source inside is good for 20,000 hours, which means the device will probably be well into obsolscence by the time the bulb blows. It has inputs for USB and standard composite.

Perhaps I've been jaded by the incredibly luminescent, huge, LED-backlit TVs I've been staring at for the last two days, but the Pico's image came off as just plain limp. The photos appeared a little fuzzy, the color was drab -- and this was all on a screen about 15 inches across, which is the around the maximum size you'd want to try in a lighted room, according to the Optoma rep I spoke to.

The company didn't have it on display in a darkened area, which I assume would yield a better image. Still, 100 times larger than the source screen, even in the dark? I'm skeptical.

Even though I was left wanting more in terms of picture quality, I still love the idea of pocket-sized projectors. Maybe the next generation of the Pico, if there is one, will usher in some big improvements. Internal memory? Flash card slot? Perhaps, but Optoma isn't talking about any specific plans just yet.

The Color of the Bulb

So, I crossed the South Hall to the 3M booth, where they were also showing off some small projectors.

3M's currently available mini is the MPro110. That projector looked perhaps a little sharper in ambient light, though it could have been due to better source material (but who'd use fuzzy, washed-out pix for their product display?). I got to see 3M's in lower-light conditions at about 15 inches, and it was definitely an improvement.

3M was also talking about the next generation. The MM200 on display is still a prototype, but it noticeably improved the image's color quality. That, I'm told, is due to the RGB LED it uses; the MPro110 uses a white LED.

It's also smaller and thinner than the MPro -- little enough to cram into a smartphone or portable media player, for instance -- and 3M is talking about selling the hardware out to other manufacturers for use in whatever devices they can come up with.

AMD Aims to Smash Petaflop Barrier With Graphics Supercomputer

AMD is working on a supercomputer that will do much of the graphics processing for you, rather than delivering raw data that is then rendered at the client side. The AMD Fusion Render Cloud will render graphics, then compress and deliver them, the company said, saving processing power and battery life.

AMD (NYSE: AMD) is working with leading software and content developer Otoy to develop and deploy applications, high-definition (HD) content and even games in the cloud using a massively parallel supercomputer .

Details of the AMD Fusion Render Cloud were unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas during a keynote by AMD president and chief executive Dirk Meyer, along with Otoy chief executive Jules Urbach and spokespeople from Lucasfilm, Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) , HP (NYSE: HPQ) and Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) .

Is Technology Accessibility the New Green?

Aside from a car he can drive, which he admits isn't likely, Stevie Wonder also wants to be able to use an iPhone. However, touchscreen devices are difficult for blind people to use because of their multiple menus. He went to the Consumer Electronics Show to ask for better access for blind people.

The craze for touchscreen gadgets, sparked by Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) popular iPhone, is raising worries that a whole generation of consumer electronics will be out of the reach of the blind.

Motown icon Stevie Wonder and other advocates came to the world's biggest gadget fest, the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, to convince vendors to consider the needs of the blind.

Wonder told a CES event that his wishlist included a car he could drive -- which he acknowledged was probably "a ways away" -- and a Sirius XM satellite radio he could operate.

"If you can take those few steps further, you can give us the excitement, the pleasure and the freedom of being a part of it," said the famed musician.

Accessible by Accident

Some companies had managed to make their products more accessible to the blind, sometimes without even meaning to, Wonder said. He cited an iPod music player and Research In Motion's (Nasdaq: RIMM) BlackBerry as gadgets he likes to use.

Advocates argue that if product designers take into account blind needs, they would make electronics that are easier to use for the sighted as well.

The good news is that manufacturers do not need to put large sums of money into making products accessible, nor would they have to forsake innovation, said Chris Danielsen, a spokesperson for the National Federation of the Blind.

"We don't want to hold up technological progress," he said. "What we're saying is, think about the interface and set it up in such a way that it's simple. The simpler you make the user interface of a product, it's going to reach more people sighted or blind."

Touchscreens Frustrate

With the popularity of touchscreens, once simple products such as televisions and stereos have become difficult for blind people to use as they often require navigation of multiple menus that need to be seen to be used effectively.

"That's an increasing problem with new digital devices. It's easy to add feature after feature that's buried under menu after submenu," said Mike Starling, chief technology officer of National Public Radio, which is working on accessible options.

Manufacturers have been putting touchscreens in everything from calculators and watches to computers and music players.

Sendero Group President Mike May, who is blind, joked, "Can I ski 60 miles an hour downhill? Yes. Use a flat panel microwave? No." Sendero makes GPS navigational devices that have an audio output for the blind.

There are also screen readers that give an audio reading of a phone's menu. However, they do not yet make using a touchscreen phone easier, said Anne Taylor, director of access technologies at the National Federation of the Blind.

She said the ability to use a device without needing to look at it could help sighted people who are driving or older people whose eyesight is starting to deteriorate.

Barriers to Use

While blind users can buy screen-reading software for US$300 upward, it tends to only work on certain phones, often the most expensive smartphones. Accessible technology is often expensive, and about 70 percent of the U.S. blind population is unemployed.

Taylor is using CES as a forum to present vendors a set of suggestions for product design that she sees benefiting both sighted and blind consumers.

For example, manufacturers could include an easy-to-use start-over button, different sounds for different menus, and controls with good tactile feedback.

Making Progress

Ahead of the show, there were some signs that vendors, while unlikely to give up on the touchscreen trend, may be more ready to consider consumers with disabilities.

Developers at Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) are working on ways to make touchscreen phones, including those based on its own Android mobile software, usable for blind people.

National Public Radio announced a special radio receiver technology and software that would connect a digital radio to a dynamic Braille generating device. It has also created special digital radio channels for readings of the day's newspapers.

Dice Electronics has made a prototype radio that incorporates the NPR technology, and NPR's Starling hopes this will become a commercial product in 2009.

Starling has also set up meetings at CES with other manufacturers in the hope they will include NPR's technology. He said responses to requests for information, which often go unheeded, are much more active this year.

Some manufacturers could use their production facilities to make such devices, as demand weakens for more mainstream products in the economic downturn, he said.

"I think in general there may be a view that accessibility may be becoming the new green," said Starling.

What the World Needs Now: Microsoft's Not-So-Evil Empire

Is it possible that Microsoft is becoming admirable again? Or, at least, less despicable? Now that the tech industry and the U.S. economy are in the doldrums, the atmosphere seems to be lightening around the behemoth software maker that so many used to love to hate. If Microsoft makes money, so do a lot of other people.

For years, many techie types have considered Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) an Evil Empire of consumer electronics, crushing competition and innovation and maintaining a reign of mediocrity.

That's why two years ago, mild-mannered Bill Gates was booed when he delivered a keynote address at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas -- and why, earlier this year, a Hungarian student threw eggs at new Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

For a long time, it's been cool to hate Microsoft and fun to root against it, but a combination of economic anxiety and good work by the corporate giant may be changing that.

Cheers for Windows 7

Wednesday, Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) sent shivers up the spines of industry types at CES by forecasting a massive 23 percent decline in profits for the fourth quarter of 2008 that can only mean many of its customers are in trouble.

That may have been part of the reason the less-than-charismatic Ballmer was given something close to a hero's welcome Wednesday night when he delivered an almost inspirational keynote address before a packed house at CES. He showed off the genuinely impressive new Microsoft Windows 7 operating system to oohs, ahs and more-than-polite applause.

In the past, there would have been a great deal of schadenfreude inside and outside the room if there had been a glitch in the keynote demonstration. This time, it's likely that few in the crowd would have delighted in an embarrassment.

"Windows 7 should boot more quickly, offer better battery life and have fewer alerts," Ballmer said. The new operating system will also provide a cool, ultra-interactive, intuitive user interface and allow PC makers to offer more touch-screen capabilities.

Microsoft badly needs a success after its bloated, sluggish, overly complicated Vista operating systemflopped -- and it seems to have produced one, based on the demonstration.

The public can now download a prerelease test version of Windows 7. The temporary "beta" program will expire in six months, and Windows 7 won't go on sale until late this year or early next.

Bright Cloud

This time, a lot of people will be rooting for Goliath, because the consumer electronics industry, and the American economy in particular, need things to start going right. Microsoft's growing array of partnerships with companies like Verizon Wireless and Facebook mean that if it makes lots of money, so will a lot of other people.

They used to say what was good for GM was good for America. Microsoft may have taken up that mantle.

"Today, our world and our industry face some really big challenges," Ballmer said. "As this recession ripples across the globe, it feels like we're entering a period of reduced expectations -- a time when we may be tempted to temper our optimism and scale back our ambitions. But no matter what happens with the economy or how long this recession lasts, I believe our digital lives will only continue to get richer. There is no turning back from the connected world and the pace of technological advancement bringing people closer together."

Ballmer said that even as economic storm clouds loomed, Microsoft invested US$8 billion in research and development last year -- and he said Microsoft will continue to spend big, no matter how bad the economy gets.

"I believe the companies and the industries that continue to pursue innovation will position themselves for growth far surpassing companies that pull back," Ballmer said. "At the end of the day, it's the power of innovation that drives us forward, regardless of the economic environment."

He said the potential to change people's lives with technology "has not diminished, and is in many ways today more powerful than ever before."

One example, he said, is the need to produce cheaper PCs to make the Internet more accessible to billions around the globe.

Ballmer also talked about the power of tying together the "three screens" in everyone's life: the TV, the phone and the PC. He talked about how "the cloud" -- a metaphor for such an Internet linking of various media -- will deliver content and services, particularly in terms of entertainment and social networking, via Windows. He said the deal Microsoft has with Facebook heralds the start of this trend.

"Microsoft is transforming what Windows is -- from a PC operating system to a connected platform and experience across the PC, the phone, the TV and the cloud."

It's a cloud that could bring some sunshine and warmth to a cold and gloomy economic night.

Telkomsel Flash Unlimited sharing in PCLinuxOS

Sharing on the Internet computer network is not a difficult thing at this time, even on a network that has some differences in the operating system on each - even though each computer.

At the time this article will be sharing in the investigation of the Internet connection using PCLinuxOS as Gateway and Ms. Windows or Linux as a client.

Reason I use Linux as the gateway is the ability of the filter from the outside better in compare with the use of Windows as the Gateway.

Workshop on Open Source and Open Content 2008 - http://www.wosoc-conference.org

The Workshop on Open Source and Open Content (WOSOC) will be held from 30th of November till the 3rd of December 2008. The venue is Bali Dynasty Hotel, Denpasar - Bali, Indonesia. The theme for the WOSOC is "Making the Open Source and Open Content work for people." It is expected to attract international and regional participants, and participants will bring together representatives of government, businesses, civil society organizations and academics.

The WOSOC 2008 will investigate several questions with respect to the use and development of Open Source and Open Content in various countries particularly in developing countries. Exploring these questions is crucial for the capacity building, capability formation, Competency building and knowledge creation in Ensuring a sustainable development model. Practical examples of the possibilities and consequences of open source adoption are taken from industrialized countries and Highlighting Initiatives in developing countries.

Many developing countries that Identify information and communication technologies (ICT) offer significant opportunities to address current demands and repositioning for a better future. Unfortunately, developing countries always face the high cost of software license, making it the principal reason for unauthorized copying. Furthermore, the proprietary and closed source software sometimes makes developing countries unable to afford Customization in order to fulfill the local needs. Open Source Software (OSS) enables developing countries to solve these problems and adapt the software to meet local needs without licensing problem.

WOSOC 2008 introduces two main tracks:

* Open Source Track
* Open Content Track

Track 1. Open Source

The availability of OSS may be critical to technology trajectories in ICT. OSS has the potential to help democratization and help find solutions to the most pressing problems faced by developing countries. Due to the lower labor cost in developing countries, cost of re-hiring and training users Skilled people to migrate and run OSS-based systems is not as high as it is in developed countries. More importantly, this training cost is Contributing to the local economy rather than paying expensive software license fees.

Government and public sector organizations have initiated the use of OSS as a key part of their policy in information technol ogy. It is motivated by the reduction in the cost of IT investments, as well as development of independence, a drive for autonomy and security, and a means to address intellectual property rights enforcement. Some governments already employ software procurement policies, which require the use of OSS.

In implementing information systems, government and public organizations have to consider many factors including Flexibility, features, scalability, cost, and security. Information systems that are used to capture, create, store, process or distribut e classified information must be properly managed to protect against unauthorized disclosure of classified information, loss of data integrity, and to Ensure the availability of data and systems. The perception that OSS is less secure than "professionally" developed proprietary closed source software is a common one, but is substantially flawed. Discussing the real situation of OSS with respect to security, privacy and trust will prove that OSS can be more trusted in the wide Deployment.

OSS provides an opportunity to achieve a public sector that is just, effective, transparent and accountable. To establish the
sustainability of OSS in the public sector, OSS must create business opportunities for private firms, reduce cost of IT inves tment in the private and / or public sectors of the economy and improve the efficiency and Effectiveness of Government. Theref ore, OSS can assist in bridging the digital gap between developed and developing countries. Thus, a framework for understan ding the policy implications surrounding open source software should be developed in order to Ensure the success of implementation.

The openness of OSS creates opportunities to provide bigger Accessibility of the ICT. Accessibility is used to describe the degree to which a system is usable by as many people as possible. It is about inclusion of all people. Particular groups of users are still being neglected in the development of ICT such as women and people who has limitation in language. Women constitute over half of the population, by far a majority yet their numbers are not evident in the ICT applications and ICT industry. Other aspects is the language, predominant technology is supplied in the European languages yet for many developing countries this is not their mother tongue and they are limited to accessing either later in life or through a second language.

Track 2. Open Content

In recent years, there is a strong interest among academics, policy makers, activists, businessmen and other practitioners in collaboration and open access as a driver of creativity. The focus of this track is to discuss the mechanism of free access and Dissemination of knowledge. Internet offers the possibility of making knowledge universally accessible. Nowadays, research organizations Advocate consistently using the Internet for communication and scientific publishing. Their recommendations in favor of open access are directed not only at research institutions but also and to the same extent at cultural institutes such as libraries, archives, and museums. As a result, publishing practices are expected to undergo considerable changes.

OSS has a Complementary and reciprocal relationship to research and education. One needs an educated section of the population to fulfill the full potential of OSS, and at the same time OSS helps, enhances and complements education by providing tools to promote research and education. OSS provides opportunities: unrestricted access to the source code and knowledge, an environment of unlimited experimentation and tinkering and collaboration and interaction with a community of programmers, coders and users around the world.

The notions of open science and open data demonstrate the strong tradition of openness in the academic community. The open nature of open content, collaboration makes the creative work for more sustainable. Open access journals and other open content provide inspiring examples of collaborative creativity and participatory access, such as Wikipedia. Open collaboration is closely linked to access to knowledge issues, enabling active participation rather than passive consumption especially in developing countries. Collaboration and open access are the drivers of creativity.

Open access publishing is known to involve the free availability of the results of research mainly in the form of scholarly articles. For authors, open access can be achieved by publishing articles in open access journals, and / or by Storing copies of articles in open access archives or repositories. Publishing articles in this mechanism is considered an alternative to the traditional publishing in journals. An Open Access journal allows all those who have Internet access to freely read, download, copy, Distribute, and print articles and other materials. Open content often looks explicitly towards open source software for business models, and open science provides through its history a glimpse of the potential of openness,

The concept of aggregating, sharing, and collaboratively enriching free educational materials over the Internet has been emerging over the past several years. The movement has been led by faculty members and content Specialists who believe that making lesson plans, training modules and full courses freely available can help improve teaching. Unfortunately, the movement to use open educational resources in higher education has not yet realized the full impact. It is still in its infancy and faces some technical and cultural challenges that affect its widespread adoption.

Interoperability - the ability of multiple Initiatives on different Platforms technology to seamlessly share metadata and resources-is at the root of the technical challenge for open education resources. While the present lack of interoperability is a challenge, it is also the nature of innovation, such as the make use of Open Standard. Open Standards are also increasingly seen as key enablers of the transfer of information across organizations, systems, and devices.

The closed-door, "this is mine" mentality and pride of ownership over content are still the great challenge to open educational resources. Issues of ownership and intellectual property rights are a related cultural - and legal - challenge. Still to be discussed is the value of licenses that allow for commercial or non-commercial use of content, and the Importance of enabling the adaptation and modification of the content.

Open Source and the Open Content can bring a global revolution in teaching and learning in which educators and students could be much more actively engaged as creators, users, and adapters of content. This Transformation can only occur if educators, authors, publishers, and higher education institutions make more materials available and accessible for public use. Open education holds the promise of opening the door of higher education to millions. For example, open content can reduce the need to purchase expensive textbooks, which can constitute up to three-fourths of community-college students' spending. A national policy document for developing countries could be used by government or their science-funding organizations to speed up the scientific progress

Human capacity, including skills and competencies, is vital to success in a knowledge economy, and OSS and Open Content provides a basis for building such skills because of low Barriers to entry and innovation.

Rsync, Copy Data Facility Multi Function and Easy configured

I am acquainted with any posts via rsync Ibam-pak Rahmat Samik-Ibrahim (rsync, features a giant-scale copy data). I use rsync to mirror the process of openSUSE repository, whether that is in the mirror and mirror http://download.opensuse-id.org existing local dikantor.

Some time ago I tried to make a fraudulent rsync server setup dikantor for copying data and the process was far easier than doing setup Samba, NFS, FTP and Web Server. I've tried rsync on openSUSE 11.0, openSUSE 10.3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 without difficulty. I do not know whether others in the same simple distribution or not. It should do so as easily as rsync only 1 configuration file located in the main folder / etc.

If the setup samba take a long, rsync can be prepared in less than 5 minutes so that was very helpful if we want to make copying the data without having to perform a complex setup.

Setup rsync server on openSUSE:

1. Install the package via rsync YAST or via console. If the console, the process can be done with the install command: zypper in rsync
2. Change the configuration file / etc / rsyncd.conf
3. Sample configuration:


gid = users
read only = true
use chroot = true
transfer logging = true
log format =% h% o% f% b% l
log file = / var / log / rsyncd.log
pid file = / var / run / rsyncd.pid
# hosts allow = trusted.hosts
slp refresh = 300

[Home-Vavai]
path = / home / vavai
comment = Data-vavai
# Auth users = user
# Secrets file = / etc / rsyncd.secrets

[iso]
path = / srv / www / htdocs
comment = iso file vavai

That need to be changed is the hosts allow = # trusted.hosts (replaced by a computer's IP client can access) and in part that begins with square brackets []. This section is the section that will be shared. In the example above, I do share the folder 2, which is / home / vavai and / srv / www / htdocs. Please adjust the share folder of your choice.
4. We can also create text files / etc / rsyncd.motd any posts containing a welcome (Message of the Day) and add the option motd file = / etc / rsyncd.motd on the file / etc / rsyncd.conf above
5. Restart the service with the rsync command: service rsyncd restart
6. Test the console with the command: rsync-IP-Address Server::, for example rsync 192.168.0.1::
Note: The IP can be replaced with the hostname, such as rsync vavai.vavai.com::
7. To perform a download folder, we can use the option-av. The following example is done on

Client Settings

1. Install the package via rsync YAST or via console. If the console, the process can be done with the install command: zypper in rsync
2. Check rsync server on the console with the command: rsync-ip-address server: for example rsync 192.168.0.1::
3. We can also go to a specific folder, for example, rsync 192.168.0.1:: Home-Vavai /. Do not forget to add the icon / folder at the end of which want to see the contents of the folder.
4. To copy data, use the following command: rsync-av ip-address-server:: name-folder-share-folder-name destination /, for example: rsync-av 192.168.0.1:: Home-Vavai / / srv / www / htdocs / backup. That means we will copy the contents of rsync share with the name of Home-Vavai to the folder / srv / www / htdocs / backup.
5. We can also ensure that the destination folder, and always have a version of the same data with the option with rsync-av - delete
6. We also can exclude a file / folder from the process with the option - exclude.
7. Please referring to the manual rsync for other options that are more complete.

NVidia Ensure Drivernya remain closed

According to reports OSNews, Nvidia will still maintain its position close to the program code for the driver-drivernya. Unlike the bebrapa vendor code to open a program for drivernya for use in Linux, Nvidia still close and give the drivers in binary format.

Some time ago this was a polemic, for binary interface to the kernel will only provide problems for the kernel developers. Besides, with rising GPL version 3, the binary driver loaded into the kernel can be categorized as DRM.

However, Nvidia still konfiden with that proposition like this, Nvidia will still be accepted in both the Linux environment.

Rates XL Claimed The Transparent

Jakarta - Rates telecommunications Excelcomindo Pratama (XL) claimed more transparent since the release program for recycling promotion campaign free prepaid phone.

Therefore GM Prepaid Marketing XL Riza Rachmadsyah menuturkan in the program meet the press' Pay Less Free Direct Nelpon Sampe Puas' at MU Cafe, Jakarta, on Tuesday (6/1/2009).

In the new program, XL impose tariffs Rp 300, Rp 1,050 and Rp 1,800 in 120 seconds in the first three time zones during the day without recurring charges.

"Thus, our rate is so simple and transparent with no hidden cost [additional hidden costs]," said Riza saying his program is valid since January 7 to 30 March 2009.

Director of Marketing XL V Nicanor Santiago added, the rate is one of the form of efforts to pursue the target of adding 20% to customers last year. XL themselves until the end of years ago already has about 26 million customers.

Indosat Be Partner Islamic World Forum

Jakarta --
Indosat elected official to be partners in the telecommunications service provider forum fifth World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF), which will take place in early March 2009 to come.

As the official telecommunications partner, Indosat will provide an integrated telecommunications services to all forum participants, such as internet access and cable-based broadband wireless 3.5 G, the needs of IT devices, access to mobile phone and fixed i-phone, and other supporting services.

"This forum is very important for Indonesia as a large Muslim country in the world. And Indosat telecommunications service hope this will support the success of the event and brought in the name redolent of the world," a Dirut Indosat, Johnny Swandi Sjam to detikINET, Wednesday (7 / 1 / 2009).

In addition to the WIEF, Indosat has also become a partner several times the official provider of telecommunication services in several important event such as the Asian Football Cup, Thomas Cup, Indonesia Presidential Golf Tournament, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Asian Beach Games in Bali, not this time.

"At all events, Indosat provides support services include teleponi, internet, 3.5G, and satellites," Johnny pungkas.

Free Calls to the Gaza Strip

Jakarta --
Plans eliminate a phone call to the Gaza. However, the bid appears to be interesting is futile considering the many telecommunications facilities damaged due to heavy Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

detikINET quotation from AustralianIT, on Wednesday (7/1/2009), the largest operator Telstra as Australia offers free phone calls during the week to areas affected by war in electrical current.

This bid is valid until this day since January 15 for the upcoming call with the area code 0011-970-8.

"Telstra customers in Australia can call relatives in the area of Gaza free of charge," said Sol Trujillo, Telstra chief executive officer.

However, Telstra made a bid is considered not to bring too much benefit, given the many telecommunications facilities in the conflict area were damaged.

Paltel Group, the main phone company has warned the Palestinians that Gaza can be lost from the outside world as a result of attacks from land and air.

According to Paltel, about 90 percent of mobile phone services have been paralyzed Gaza, and a number of home phone has been damaged.

In addition to damaged telecommunications facilities, also lost some of Paltel servants who have died as a result of attacks.

"Although a lot of obstruction, we try to keep as closely as possible to provide services in the Gaza path, even with a minimal capacity," Paltel demolished.

Plans Do not ' pursue Project' stealing Rural Telephone

Jakarta - The telecommunications operator should not be considered that the rural telephone network, built in the program Uso (Universal Service Obligation) as the base project. It was thus should be seen as investment base.

Said Mohammad Nuh Menkominfo meet on the sidelines of the press delegation DIPA budget year 2009 to the officials echelon I Depkominfo, on Wednesday (7/1/2009) evening.

Because, according to him, would not want the service are in fact also want to expand their coverage. And the only time a problem living.

"But the program took Uso, operators can also make the expansion to a specific area, we bayari even more," he said.

But before that, the minister resumed, need to remember is that there is need to shift the paradigm of service-related programs Uso this regard. Base from which to project investment base.

"So it seems a bit embarrassed if the service is too much incentive ask if participated in the project Uso," pungkas Noah.

Uso own through the program, in September 2009 are expected to wait at least five zones in the region is rural sector can be connected via a full access to information communication technology.

Log In MURI Blessing Kaspersky Virus Check Moster

JAKARTA - indeed many record-breaking way. One of them is like a dilakoni by anti-virus vendor Kaspersky, check with the successful 5000 program and eradicate suspicious that there are 150 in the electronic equipment in time only two hours.

The record of successfully achieve by securities companies in Russia, printed on a computer exhibition akbar bertitel KOMPUTEXPO that be placed in Surabaya on 29 October 2008 ago. Reliability is verification Kaspersky been invited to the way of many visitors who have electronic devices such as laptops, to their stand. Then the device will be scanned with the empowerment of anti-virus Kaspersky. From the successful results achieved, the Kaspersky want to show that they still be trusted exterminator virus.

"Kaspersky is very serious with what we do. The record of success we all want this show to the public that the quality of our products can be trusted even though the last six months the new focus is to enter the Indonesian market,? Said the head of Kaspersky Lab? S for Southeast Asia, Gun Suk Ling, when met in the Sudirman some time ago.

"This is based on the state of Indonesia is one of the countries that made up most of the target of virus attacks," added Ling again.

As a matter of trends in Indonesia where the virus The growth of attacks, offensive Ling also concern about how high the volume of piracy in Indonesia.

"In ten years ago, only Indonesia has reached 99 percent for piracy. Figures are now a 84 percent decrease in relation to the presence of Business Software Alliance (BSA) as a software-checker circulation of illegal software," said Ling.

According to Ling, it is also on the notabene Kaspersky anti-virus protection is paid.

"I think the government should be more down in the hands of this problem because the government has a significant role," specifically.

Kaspersky: Malware 15 Million During 2008

MOSCOW - The ability of criminals to predict the virtual world will continue to increase and growing. This is evident from reports of anti-virus company Kaspersky found that 15 million new types of Malware to the year 2008.

Kaspersky chief executive, said Eugene Kaspersky amount indeed surprise because in 2007 there were as much ago only two million new malware.

"It is not surprising that business if cyber crimes in 2008 valued at no less than USD100 billion," said Eugene dilansir as Vnunet, Friday (5/12/2008).

Business development have created a cyber crime industry security situation in panic. These companies recognize that the security needs greater investment in technology to overcome the problem.

In addition, Kaspersky estimates that there are tens of thousands of people involved in business crime and cyber security to make companies compete to recruit security experts security to compensate for the severity villain-villain the virtual world.

"It is very difficult to find the best software engineers. But we will never rent a virtual world criminals. Section, as is known, it is easier to build an attack rather than to build a protection," said Eugene.

Meanwhile, other security service provider MessageLabs also released a report security threat virtual world. MessageLabs said, in the year 2008 there is increased up to 80 percent of Internet sites that contain malicious programs, or an average of 2,290 attacks per day.
