What You've Been Missing Over At ITInnovation.com
from the lots-of-good-stuff dept
Back at the beginning of December, you may recall that we launched a new website, ITInnovation.com, with sponsorship from Sun and Intel. So far, it's been a lot of fun. While we crosspost some stories on both sites, there are many that just are found there. So, here's a quick listing of a few of the stories you may have missed:- Stephen Foskett's 2009 IT predictions (yes, his 2009 predictions (in retrospect)...
- A look at quantum computing algorithms (and Google's supposed interest in them... along with some mystery about whether this is real or just PR-speak).
- An example of better ways to communicate IT goals with a marketing campaign.
- A discussion on dealing with server sprawl
- An examination of data centers designed to survive earthquakes
- A look at some of the key factors in determining where to locate your data centers
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: Google Gadget
Nope... not yet. We'll see about whipping one up.
Thanks!

Re: Quantum Computing
Wow. Thanks a lot for that informative comment. I'll link to it here:

I didn't realize the D-Wave chips needed to be supercooled? Is that right? (citation please?)

Re: Re: Quantum Computing
D-Wave systems are architected around an innovative processor that uses a computational model known as adiabatic quantum computing (AQC). These processors exploit quantum effects to solve search and optimization problems in a new way. They are fabricated using superconducting metals instead of semiconductors and are operated at ultra-low temperatures in a magnetic vacuum.
