Submission + - Razer's Take on the Keyboard

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Despite being very success with their mice, the Tarantula is Razer's first try at a keyboard. This product something to keep an eye on if you don't think a standard keyboard offers all the gaming features you would like. Cool features include a modular docking system for accessories, anti-ghosting so you can press multiple keys at once, on-board memory to store profiles, 10 macros keys, swappable keys, blue LED lighting, and drivers that can set up to 100 profiles and can reprogram every key. The keyboard is especially interesting when compared to its prime competition, Logitech's G15 which has a built in LCD!

Submission + - Microsoft to Open up Windows CE Kernel Source?

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: In what would be its most substantial nod to the open-source movement, Microsoft is rumored to be opening up Windows CE 6.0's entire kernel as shared source, WindowsForDevices reports. If the rumor is correct, the announcement is likely to occur during an 8:00 AM PST keynote talk by Craig Mundie, which kicks off the Windows CE 6.0 launch event on Wednesday, November 1st. The sixth generation of Microsoft's embedded OS boasts a redesigned kernel that expands the number of simultaneous processes from 32 to 32,000, while enlarging the virtual memory that is addressable by each process from 64MB to 2GB, among other already announced enhancements. Combined with this, the addition of shared source access to the entire kernel might make Windows CE much more competitive with Linux in many embedded system and device apps.
