Snapstream builds six-tuner monster PVR

Snapstream built a six-tuner monster rig as a proof of concept, dubbed Medusa. Using six PCI slots on an expanded motherboard, and just a single 40Gb hard drive, they can watch, stream, and store video from six different channels at once. Pretty impressive, though they do mention the tuner cards can generate some heat while encoding.

Plugging in a logging framework for Eclipse plug-ins

Eclipse lacks a configurable logging facility with rich features like the ones found in J2SDK Logging Utilities or Apache's Log4j. This article proposes a logging framework for Eclipse plug-ins that is itself a plug-in. The article explains how the log can be used and configured and how it was developed. Complete source code for a logging framework based on the Apache's Log4j is provided. The code can be freely used and extended.

Open Laszlo

Laszlo is an open source platform for the development and delivery of rich Internet applications on the World Wide Web.

GMail filesystem (now for Windows)

Turn your GMail account into a 1GB of off-site storage:

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

This is a great way to backup your important docs. The only downside is that it's limited to 10MB per file (the GMail attachement limit). Hopefully future versions will break up large files, then upload. Cool app though.. Thanks to 'Digital Wizard' for the link.

Mac OSXbox

"I'm sure that you'd be breaking hundreds of license agreements and the like to do it, but someone has figured out how to install Mac OSX onto an Xbox and been kind enough to post instructions. It's no small feat, though, involving a mod-chipped Xbox, image files of OSX, installation of the Pear PC emulator, and a couple of dozen hours to go through the entire install process. When you're done, though, you'll have one of the slowest, least-useful OSX boxes money can buy!"
