The $35 model entered the manufacturing stage last month and finally became available for purchase this week. Demand for the product was so prodigiously high that both of the foundation’s retail partners were unable to keep their websites running in the hours after the official launch. The $25 model is expected to come later this year.

The tablet has an NVIDIA Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM running Android 3.2, with no reassurances that the tablet will ever be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Each of the tablet’s two 5.5-inch screens has a 1024×480 resolution, and the device has two cameras: 0.3 megapixels on the front, and 5 megapixels on the back. The Tablet P has only 4GB of internal storage, which can be supplemented via its microSD card slot, and gets 7 hours of battery life. Skeptics of the body style aren’t going to be reassured at all by these middling specs.

But at the end of the day what has happened is that US law (in fact, Maryland state law) as been imposed on a .com domain operating outside the USA, which is the subtext we were very worried about when we commented on SOPA. Even though SOPA is currently in limbo, the reality that US law can now be asserted over all domains registered under .com, .net, org, .biz and maybe .info (Afilias is headquartered in Ireland by operates out of the US).

Yahoo has long worked closely with Facebook, using the social network to power sign-up and login of its email service and Flickr. Just 11 days ago, Facebook congratulated Yahoo in a blog post noting its Open Graph protocol had helped Yahoo’s news reader app gain 25 million users, including 2 million each day, and more than 500,000 referrals a day. I doubt we’ll see such courtesies between these two anytime soon.

Cobbler is a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments. It glues together and automates many associated Linux tasks so you do not have to hop between lots of various commands and applications when rolling out new systems, and, in some cases, changing existing ones.
With a simple series of commands, network installs can be configured for PXE, reinstallations, media-based net-installs, and virtualized installs (supporting Xen, qemu, KVM, and some variants of VMware). Cobbler uses a helper program called ‘koan’ (which interacts with Cobbler) for reinstallation and virtualization support.

Suppose you are installing Ubuntu on a bunch of identical computers, and you already know the answers to certain questions (what country and time zone you’re in, what keyboard you have, how the network should be configured, how you want to partition the hard disk, etc). You can “preseed” the answers to these questions in a very simple configuration file.

At the floor, there will be a live demo using Android phones, as the Full-HD Voice codec AAC-ELD has been integrated. There’s an LTE network being set up at the show specifically for this demo. Unlike in mobile communications, Full-HD Voice is already established in several VoIP, video telephony and conferencing systems. “Every day, millions of users already make Full-HD Voice calls over IP connections,” said Harald Popp, head of the department Multimedia Realtime Systems at Fraunhofer IIS, “With the introduction of LTE, now is the perfect time to introduce Full-HD Voice to mobile communications as well. Our AAC-ELD audio codec is the perfect solution for all upcoming mobile Full-HD Voice services.”

3GPP Long Term Evolution, usually referred to as LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using new modulation techniques.[1][2] The standard is developed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project).

Although commonly referred to as a type of 4G wireless service, LTE release 8 currently in use does not satisfy the requirements set forth by the ITU-R organization. Future releases of LTE (referred to as LTE Advanced) are expected to satisfy the requirements to be considered 4G.
