Paul Jakma writes "NyquistCapital argue that Google are building their own 10GigE switches, with ASICs from Broadcom. "We were watching shipments of SFP+ components for 10GbE in the market but simply couldn't account for their end destination — sort of an optical component dark matter problem.", Andrew Schmitt writes, of their reasoning for their conclusion. The blog speculates that start-up Arastra may be involved with Google in some way. Might Google help drive adoption of a simplified 10GigE standard?"

2.6.24-rc1 Adds Up to Be Biggest Ever->

eldavojohn writes "The latest release candidate of the Linux kernel is massive. One reader pointed out it is 1,565,010 lines of code & Linus Torvalds noted, "In short, we just had an unusually large amount of not just x86 merges, but also tons of new drivers (wireless networking stands out, but is by no means the only thing — we've got dvb, regular wired network, mmc etc all joining in), and a fair amount or architecture stuff, filesystems, networking etc too." Well, hopefully all these improvements — especially the wireless improvements — bring the Linux kernel one step closer to the general public."

Journal: Senseo is pretty cool

Journal by Fitascious

Ok,
As a spur of the moment type thing, I purchased a Philips Senseo Pod Coffee maker at Target. It is a really nice machine, and it produces a cup of coffee with a nice thick "crema" (not espresso like but still ok). There is no clean up, and since I am only only person in my household that enjoys coffee I don't have to get a whole caraffe dirty just for a cup or two.
