innovative thinking:Chinese cellphone startup

Lars-Olof Allerhed — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:24:00 +0000

This new innovative breakthrough in how to use a phone might become just as big as when the iPhone was first released. The Concept Line Phone has done what none of the other major competitors to apple had been able to do over the past year, they have managed to completely re-think the way we interact with a cellphone.

Watch the video and tell me what you think:

I especially like the way they are using multi touch and there smart way of letting the screen go “black” to conserver battery while between interactions.

It recently won the gold award at the 2010 Furong Cup ‘Digital Product and Service Design Competition’ in China.

IBM WebSphere Portal farm

If you are looking for ways to scale your IBM WebSphere portal beyond the traditional clustering or scaling techniques you should take a look at this YouTube video made by Marshal Lamb.

In the video Marshal describe how you configure an number of nodes that are not clustered in the traditional way but configured to behave in a similar way independently. He has then configured these nodes on top of Amazons S3 and are using there dynamic scaling functionality.

This should be of great interest to you if you are considering to move your deployment of WebSphere Portal to a virtualized internal environment or if you are considering going all the way out in to a public cloud.
