So, with last year’s IRL IndyCar Series Champion and Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti departing for NASCAR along with former series champion Sam Hornish Jr., and series champion and star Scott Sharp driving over in the American LeMans Series… so I ask this question to everyone, what do I think of the unification of the Champ Car/IndyCar Series and what does the future hold for the unified IndyCar Series?When I first heard that of the Champ Car World Series and the IRL IndyCar Series was going to become one under the IndyCar Series banner, I had mixed thoughts on the unification, on one hand I was thinking that finally the IndyCar Series will have more competition not only more drivers going for the victory week in and week out, but larger fields and a better television package,

(Archived in: Mobility Nomad Resources Telephony)The beauty of Jotts for Digital Nomads and Road Warriors, is the way you can combine it with other telephony services like Google Grand Central. There is no reason for you to forget anything ever again, as long as you have a cell phone (or any voice enabled wireless device).One of the many strengths of the Jott service is that it does not require the purchase of new equipment or software, and there are no files to download to your computer. Just dial 1-866-Jott-123 Toll Free (put it on speed dial) and start to "Jott" notes, reminders, and to-do-lists all with your voice.Speech recognition and transcription services for business are certainly not new ideas. However, combine the free beta version of Jott with other free telephony services and you can create your own low-cost, or no-cost custom unified messaging system.Jott readily admits that the speech-to-text process at present is still low-tech, and that the speech recognition software

The moves are afoot towards the unified approach of Windows and Linux hosting platforms. The controversies over the various aspects of Windows and Linux hosting though getting intensified but seem to end in the coming days. The resolving initiative is always through a unified approach.

It allows web developers to use both Microsoft Windows and Linux based web development tools concurrently at the same time. The host, Net firms, recently conducted a study among the customers on the various aspects of both Windows and Linux hosting.

Unified Serial Controllers Do SAS And SATAProfessional and semi-professional RAID controllers have changed considerably since the serialization of SCSI commenced. The parallel SCSI standards shared their total bandwidth of up to 320 MB/s across all devices and required daisy-chaining devices using costly and sensitive cables. In contrast, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) supports a dedicated 300 MB/s bandwidth per port, multi-lane or individual device cables, optional redundant cabling, and internal or external device operation. Controllers are even compatible with SATA, meaning that you can mix high-capacity SATA and high performance SAS hard drives. Finally, the transition from PCI-X to PCI Express is underway. All of these reasons were enough for us to have a look at four RAID controllers for entry level servers.Many people might wonder if it even makes sense to purchase a dedicated RAID controller, considering the availability of powerful integrated SATA controllers such as Intel's ICH9

Finally the Google Pack competitor is here and its ready to go live. Windows Live Suite or Windows Live Installer was a much awaited app of this season to be released by Microsoft. The app was a collection of all Windows Live Betas and was said to give Google Pack a tough competition. However until now the scenario suggests that Windows Live Suite won’t be a big threat to Google Pack as the applications included in Windows Live Installer have different functionality and use to that of ones included in Google Pack. Windows Live Suite and Windows Live Intsaller Windows Live Suite or the Windows Live Unified Installer (WLInstaller.exe) is a very small size (1.7 MB) application that will let you download and install different Windows Live Beta Services and Products. This way you won’t have to hunt down individual Windows Live Beta applications and you can download them all at once through a single interface.

RSS Mixer is an online tool for combining different RSS feeds into a single feed. I wondered what RSS feeds would I like to combine and immediately realized that using it to unify my microblog feeds would be a great way to start. After further examination, I found that it could be used to combine the feeds from Twitter, Pownce, and Jaiku. Since all of these microblogs were created as a way for you to keep others updated on what you are up to, unifying them makes perfect since. That way, no matter which service you are using at the time, anyone who subscribes to the unified feed will be kept updated on what you are up to. To create a unified theme for your Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce accounts, follow these steps:1. Go to RSS Mixer.2. Title your unified feed in the Title Your Mix textbox.3. Now we need to start entering the feeds that are to be combined. You will need to open a new tab (or window) in your browser because we’ll be doing some copying and pasting back to the RSS Mix

There have been several posts around the blogosphere about the shootings today at Virginia Tech.  I felt that perhaps we should do what little we can to show our support to those in Blacksburg. Obviously, there is nothing that can be said that can even start to grasp at the enormity of what the students, faculty and family members of those closest to the tragedy, but we will try as we might.  I’d imagine that most people reading this blog have attended college, and felt that innocence that came with it.  The “coming of age” for countless people year in and year out where people try to find their paths and better themselves.  That bubble of innocence was broken today in Virginia.  That protective space where people went to better themselves and advance their lives only to have those same lives ended in the most pointless and terrible of ways. The emotion and confusion of Columbine 8 years ago was resurrected in one fell swoop where the trust of security and safety
