Neat idea. A lot of people are paranoid about this, thinking that Google will own all your data. I’m pretty sure this is not the case. There will be a user partition on your computer (this is even stated in one of the videos). Local storage is part of what allows newer web applications to be fast but still secure your data from floating around in the cloud. Local storage is NOT going away. What they ARE trying to do is allow a quick and easy way to get to any web- or webservice-based applications without all that mucking about with a bloated OS. They’re going for what is essentially a very fast boot-to-browser OS with a few minimal extras.

For computers like netbooks or MIDs where the hardware is not meant for burly games or photoshop or big developer IDEs (or Windows, for that matter) this idea is pretty good… as long as all I want to do is web-browse, run web-based apps, listen to music, watch videos, or chat. That’s all I do on my netbook anyway, so it sounds like win to me. Alternately, as long as you can still boot to it from a normal bios, you could probably dual-boot to another OS.

Chrome OS is beta at this time, mainly for developers to poke at. It should be released some time late next year.

Chromium OS is available at: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os

Strange little music matrix thing.  Link is to one I did in about a minute or so.

Created a presentation for AZphp on using Zend_Tool (zf) for creating a Zend Framework project.  Code for it is not yet complete, nor tested, but it should give some ideas as to how to accomplish some stuff with ZF.

Nice looking easy to use plugin for Zend Framework project debugging!  I’m using firephp/firebug for most of my debugging since a profiler for firebug is already present in the framework.  This plugin looks very simple to set up though.  I will have to try it in the future.

Just received my Zend Framework poster from Mayflower. Got a little crushed in shipping but it’s pretty sweet.

Does it work?

24 Samsung SSDs get strung together for supercomputer fun By Donald Melanson on supercomputer     It wasn’t all that long ago when a mere nine SSD drives in a RAID array was enough to cause most folks’ jaws to drop, but the world of ridiculous technology exercises moves quickly, and we can only be thankful that a select few continually feel the need to one-up each other and share their results with all of us. This latest effort comes from a group enlisted by Samsung (in a not too thinly disguised marketing exercise), who paired up 24 SSDs in a RAID array totaling 6TB in size. Even more impressive than that, however, is the 2GB per second throughput speed they managed to achieve, which they naturally spared no expense in demonstrating — as you can see in the video after the break.   [Via Reddit] Continue reading 24 Samsung SSDs get strung together for supercomputer fun
