Don't sweat too much, at work we're still hitting some serious UFS bugs on patched Solaris 10 (mainly FS corruptions, huge slowdowns like a fstat taking 20 real minutes, ...). That said we're a little bit shy of 2000 Sun SPARC servers so that's why we "often" see these bugs...

Google To Sell Truly Open Android Dev Phone 219

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday December 08, 2008 @10:32AM from the what-were-they-waiting-for dept.

binary.bang writes "Google has announced an unlocked version of T-Mobile's G1 for sale at the same unlocked price of $399. The Android Dev Phone 1 is the G1, except being truly open: no SIM-lock, no hardware lock. Feel free to flash your customized Android build — the bootloader won't be checking for signatures. Don't be misled by the word 'Dev,' looks like all you need to qualify is an Android Market account. This looks like the Open Handset Alliance delivering the promised Open Handset: yes root, yes flash-your-build, no contract, no strings attached. Anyone else relieved & thrilled?"

Because it uses the Zettabyte File System, the Amber Road has eliminated the use of RAID arrays, RAID controllers and volume management software — meaning that it's very fast and easy to use."
