How is this different from the hundreds of aftermarket fans already available? This article implies that no one has ever thought to redesign computer fans before, yet if you take a glance at NewEgg, there are 1841 listings under the "CPU Fans & Heatsinks" category: http://www.newegg.com/CPU-Fans-Heatsinks/SubCategory/ID-574
It claims "the company’s fans are half the size and achieve 35-40 percent greater thermal performance than traditional PC fans." What is the definition of "traditional PC fan?" Stock fans?
Fairly sensible advice. One quibble I have is the idea that computer science departments are somehow shortchanging students by not teaching them business skills. If you want to learn business, take some classes from the business or economics department. Or ask for advice from a businessman. Computer science professors should be teaching computer science, not business. It's kind of silly to expect otherwise.
Well, I think you could be a bit more specific than that and reasonably say something like "If speed is a high priority for you, then C++ is often a good choice." That's why PC games are generally written in C++.
I guess this might be focused on the consumer end, but if you're looking for this in the enterprise, you can get it from IBM and Oracle. You can buy Oracle (Sun) hardware, Solaris, WebLogic, and Oracle database and never use a non-Oracle product. Same with IBM.
And maybe I'm cynical, but "unified ecosystem" sounds a lot like "total vendor lock-in" to me.
Are there better quality images anywhere? On the Antartic Heritage Trust site it's just a crappy Flash slide show. Would be nice to see high res JPEGs.
Hmm, I work for a company that processes insurance claims. That's enterprisey, right? Let me tell you you'll get a blank/'are you crazy' type stare if you suggest node.js here (rightly or wrongly). We use programs written in COBOL running on AS/400. That's insurance/banking enterprise software. The very thought of running some trendy hipster WWW-popup-box-turned-server-side "programming language" like JavaScript for anything -- anything at all -- is likely to be met with disgust. Like I said, this might not actually be the right attitude to take, but rest assured the "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" attitude still prevails in the truly enterprisey enterprise.
