'We are strong supporters of the open source movement'
Stuart C Wells joined Sun Microsystems in 1988 and has served in a number of key management positions. At present, in his role as the executive vice-president (Utility Computing), Wells' task includes driving the utility grid computing initiatives and remanufacturing programmes. Reporting directly to Sun's President and COO Jonathan Schwartz, he led the Sun ONE product development and product marketing functions for three years.
After 24 years in the industry, Wells holds five US patents in multimedia, video, 3D graphics and imaging, and has numerous international publications. In a tete-e-tete, Wells talks on myriad issues, including Sun's renewed Wall Street attack and maps it against his present mission to now gradually increase adoption for Sun's utility computing business. Excerpts:
Sun was a leader on Wall Street a decade ago. What went wrong?
It's not that everything went wrong with Sun and Wall Street clients. However, I would admit that Sun suffered a setback in the low-end segment since Solaris did not cater to that segment then.
Linux is already an established player.Have you arrived a bit too late?
Sun is not against Linux. We compete against Red Hat. We are strong supporters of the open source movement. But with the introduction of Solaris 10, we believe our customers have a better alternative than Red Hat or IBM.

Five reasons to switch from Windows to Linux
Linux has been in the ascendancy ever since the open source operating system was released, and has been improved and refined over time so that a typical distribution is now a polished and complete package comprising virtually everything the user needs, whether for a server or personal system. Much of the web runs on Linux, and a great many smartphones, and numerous other systems, from the Raspberry Pi to the most powerful supercomputers. So is it time to switch from Windows to Linux? Here are five reasons why.

Attorney General Morrisey Urges Consumers to Report Instances of Price Gouging
Friday, January 10, 2014 - 05:33 Updated 2 years ago From a News Release by WV Attorney General Patrick Morrisey
"It is illegal for any person or entity to inflate the price of water in times of emergency," Attorney General Morrisey said. "We are hearing reports of price gouging going on already in the region. It is illegal and just plain wrong for a business to take advantage of consumers and West Virginians during an emergency."
Morrisey encouraged anyone who has been charged overly inflated prices to file a complaint with the office's Consumer Protection Division at 800-368-8808. All reports filed will be used by the Office to identify offending businesses and people. Consumers who paid high prices should make a copy of the receipt, if they still have it, and attach the copy to their complaint.
"While our hope is that these incidences are rare, they do sometimes occur," Morrisey said. "In those situations, we will aggressively prosecute anyone who has taken advantage of West Virginians in their time of need. We will have no mercy for businesses who try to make a quick buck by taking advantage of people."

If you are in need of any special event production services, I would highly suggests using NextArts for any of your lighting, audio/visual, and decor needs. NextArts was recommended to me by a close friend, who utilized their services for a wedding. I was told that they would provide a professional touch which could turn my event from mundane to remarkable.
NextArts was able to provide excellent service, that I believed elevated my event and made it memorable. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable and courteous. They delivered, set up, and removed all the equipment in an expedient and professional manner. Two of the techs "Hollywood" and "JM" were more than helpful and provided outstanding customer service throughout the duration of my event.
Calling NextArts turned out to be very sound advice. The NextArts team played in integral part in the success of my event, and I regard them as the "Go-to" company for any of your event needs.

Dell updates Inspiron laptops, goes thinner and longer
Dell has introduced its new line of Inspiron laptops at CES 2013, promising improved battery life and performance in a thinner form factor.
The Inspiron 15 and 17 feature 15 and 17-inch screens respectively, and offer the choice of Intel's i3, i5, and i7 processor on board. If the 4-cell battery is chosen over the 6-cell option, the laptop is less than 1-inch thin.
Both machines support up to 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive and Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics. For those looking for a little more video card power, Dell also offers the Nvidia GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics card with either 1GB or 2GB of video memory.
Dell brags that the new Inspirons are 17 per cent thinner and 15 per cent lighter than previous models.
The Inspiron 15, weighing 2.25kg, starts at £299.99, while the Inspiron 17, weighing 2.64kg, starts at £349.99.
Dell also offers more customisable options, such as a different colour finish and option for a full 1080p display, for those looking to drop a little more cash. The Inspiron 15R starts at £399.99, and the Inspiron 17R starts at £429.99.
The company recently announced a new 1080p option to its XPS 13 Ultrabook, costing an extra $300 in the US (no UK price confirmation) to get the added pixels. It will be available soon with better base specifications as well.

EA announces Star Wars: Battlefront by Dice in teaser trailerPocket-lint
EA announced that DICE is developing Star Wars: Battlefront, the latest edition to the popular Star Wars gaming franchise, and that it will utilise the same Frostbite 3 engine that also powers Battlefield 4.
The first-person shooter game - the first title unveiled as part of EA's multi-year Star Wars licensing deal with Disney - emerged in a brief teaser trailer at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Pocket-lint was in the audience to get the full-volume experience and it was this short snippet that received the biggest cheer of the hour-long presentation.
Read: EA new home for Star Wars games
The 20-second video indicated only that the game is set on the ice planet of Hoth, and it momentarily showed the claw-shaped foot of an AT-AT walker as it stomps just a few feet away. And that's about it. EA didn't have any further details about Star Wars: Battlefront and instead went on to a stack of other next-gen titles during its presentation.
However, a blog post on StarWars.com offers its own insight: "As one of the world's premier video game developers, DICE has the talent and expertise to deliver a Star Wars experience like no other, while pushing the boundaries of what is capable in a video game. The Star Wars: Battlefront series, which we know means so much to fans and gamers, is in good hands".
Check out the teaser trailer above, it'll have you purring like an Ewok for more.
