November 29, 2010 No Comment
Windows Home Server hasn’t exactly taken the consumer market by storm, showing yet again that people are more interested in shiny new toys than protecting their precious data. Still, there’s been a huge amount of negative backlash from Microsoft ‘s recent decision to drop Drive Extender from the next release of WHS, currently codenamed Vail . Drive Extender is the tech that enables multiple physical disks to act as a single logical volume, making it easy for even non-techy folks to add more and enable data replication. Terry Walsh over at We Got Served was similarly taken aback by the decision and took the opportunity to drop a note to Big Poppa Steve Ballmer . He got a response: From: Steve Ballmer Sent: 26 November 2010 05:30 To: Terry Walsh Subject: RE: MVP Feedback – Windows Home Server “Vail” Crisis Let’s look into it Yes, it’s a short response, and it course could mean anything or, indeed, nothing, but it is at least a response and a positive sign that the huge outcry among fans of Windows Home Server can indeed make its way to the top of the executive chain. Now we just wait to see what comes rolling back down… Steve Ballmer looking into removal of Drive Extender from Windows Home Server originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:26:00 EDT.

Step aside, Sony Ericsson, your Xperia Pureness has been beaten at its own game by an enigmatic new handset that Lenovo has been showing off over in China. The above images come from a Beijing fashion event, where Lenovo chose to debut its S800 featurephone with a color translucent display. It looks to still be at the concept stage, one that not many of these luxury items seem to ever exit, but lest you think it’s not for real, the models showing it off at the show were photographed backstage using the lustworthy piece of glass to do whatever it is that models do with their phones.

All photos supplied by Brooks The 1880′s were, arguably, the bicycle’s golden era. From that time we derived the so-called ‘Safety Bicycle’, where, unlike the ‘Penny Farthing,’ riders could reach the ground with their feet. The same period also saw the introduction of the chain drive, pneumatic bike tyres, and the first Brooks leather bicycle saddle (or seat.) With almost 150 years of leather craftsmanship, Brooks, continue to innovate, recently launching a line of vegetable tanned, organic leather bicycle saddles. Inspired not so much by a need to be ‘green,’ but by cyclist’s requests for even higher … Read the full story on TreeHugger

November 29, 2010 No Comment
As the long holiday weekend comes to an end, catching up with a humorous, seemingly spontaneous, moment on the last fresh Late Show before Thanksgiving. David Letterman is a big believer in cataclysmic predictions about global warming, but on Wednesday’s program his mom, Dorothy, rejected his proposition that global warming was to blame for some unseasonably warm days in Indianapolis — prompting her disappointed son to shake his head in disapproval. Dorothy, better known as “Dave’s mom,” appears annually from her kitchen in suburban Indianapolis to let her son guess the types of pies she’s baked for Thanksgiving. This year, the 89-year-old remarked “it's been unseasonably warm,” leading her son to assert “that's that climate change. It's the global warming . You know that, mom? Do you believe in the climate change, in the global warming?” To which, Dorothy Letterman innocently responded: “Not really.” read more

This Great Blue Heron, one of the first organisms to greet us upon arrival in the Galapagos, sure doesn’t seem to mind the tourists. All photos credit Collin Dunn. The Galapagos Islands are like no place on earth. The Galapagos Islands have too many tourists. The Galapagos Islands have some of the most interesting, unique plants, animals, landscape, and scenery in the world. The Galapagos Islands aren’t prepared to maintain the level of conservation necessary to preserve the natural wonder of this place in the face of increasing human impact. A case can be made for all of the above, and in some… Read the full story on TreeHugger
