There’s a bit of time [...]

Given my profession as a theatre nurse this really got my interest. The da Vinci Surgical System is a set of computers and instrumentation. A technological advancement on the traditional Laparoscopic or “key-hole” surgery in that rather than the instruments being held by the surgeon they are held by a robot. The surgeon controls the [...]

I came across an article today speaking about a guy in Sweeden who put together a linux-based 3D rendering farm that he could run in his own house.  The remarkable part: he built a six-node cluster and used an Ikea Helmer drawer unit as the case… for all six nodes. Image courtesy helmer.sfe.se It’s an amazing piece [...]

First thing I thought was “about bloody time!”. Yahoo! and McAfee have partnered up to provide integrated search security on the results pages, they call it “Search Scan“. The result is prominent warnings at the top of the page and next to the offending link with a “hover” for details. However sites that have browser [...]
