the lustre people were told to leave and most have

What can you tell use about the departures? Was the request by Oracle causation for the mass exodus or only in response? That is, once they lost critical mass, did they simply cut their losses?

p.s. I could have sworn that I replied to this comment earlier... I suppose I won't see a response at this late date :(

Wii 2 Unlikely For 2011, Maybe In 2012 303

An anonymous reader writes "As discussed on Slashdot earlier this year, the lack of a next-generation Wii may be hurting Nintendo. That doesn't seem to concern the company's US chief, Reggie Fils-Aime, who said this week that a Wii 2 might not appear until 2012. He wants to sell a few million more consoles before a successor is launched. So, no Wii 2 for 2010 or 2011 — meanwhile, the PS3 and Xbox consoles get motion control support and other content enhancements. What does that mean for the success of Nintendo's gaming console business? Has the innovator been out-innovated due to a sluggish product roadmap?"

Selling Incandescent Light Bulbs As Heating Devices 557

Posted by samzenpus on Monday September 27, 2010 @10:35AM from the a-bulb-by-any-othe-name dept.

Csiko writes "The European Union has banned by law trading of incandescent light bulbs due to their bad efficiency/ecology (most of the energy is transformed into heat). A company is now trying to bypass this restriction by offering their incandescent light bulb products as a heating device (article in German) instead of a light device. Still, their 'heat balls' give light as well as heating. So — every law can be bypassed if you have some creativity!"

This technique would be great for virtual machine instances hosted in simulation environments (eg. bochs).
