Submission + - Project Darkstar no more (projectdarkstar.com)
sproketboy writes: Project Darkstar, an open source software platform that simplifies the development of horizontally scalable servers for online games from Sun labs is being discontinued as of the Oracle acquisition.
This project, mentioned a couple of years back on slashdot was a unique concept for building a application server specific to on-line gaming. Sadly they were so close at version 0.9.11 (which is still very stable).
Hopefully the open source community can get involved and help continue work on this project.

Submission + - SPAM: Next X-Prize = $10M for a brain-computer interface 1
destinyland writes: This time it's inner space, as Peter Diamandis holds a workshop at MIT discussing a $10 million X-Prize for building a brain-computer interface. This article includes video of Ray Kurzweil's 36-minute presentation, "Merging the Human Brain with Its Creations," and MIT synthetic neuroscientist Ed Boyden also made a presentation, followed by discussion groups about Input/Output, Control, Sensory, and Learning. Besides the ability to communicate by thought, the article argues, a Brain-Computer Interface X Prize "will reward nothing less than a team that provides vision to the blind, new bodies to disabled people, and perhaps even a geographical 'sixth sense' akin to a GPS iPhone app in the brain." And one software engineer argues the technology could become commercially available within the next 10 years.
