Touchscreens can only get so small before fingers start to block most of the information on them, but a project from Microsoft Research and the Hasso Plattner Institut in Germany called Nanotouch allows a touchscreen device to be controlled from its backside, preventing fingers from occluding the screen.

Red Hat Drops Plans For Consumer Desktop Linux

Jack Writes: Red Hat said it has dropped plans, disclosed last year, to develop a version of the Linux operating system for consumer PCs -- in part because of Microsoft's dominance over the market. "The desktop market suffers from having one dominant vendor, and some people still perceive that today's Linux desktops simply don't provide a practical alternative," Red Hat officials said in a blog post Wednesday.

Windows 7 is the first Microsoft OS developed away from the watchful eye of Bill Gates, and the technical leaders who built it had to adjust to life at the company without its cofounder and former chief software architect, CEO Steve Ballmer said Thursday.

"We have a lot of people who are stepping up and growing in new ways," Ballmer said, speaking at the McGraw-Hill 2009 Media Summit in New York. "There's no question about that. I'm growing in some new ways. Some of the senior technical guys are growing in new ways."

Cisco to cut home broadband perks to reduce costs

The move is part of a wider effort to shave $1 billion from Cisco's expenses.

Cisco Systems Inc. is ending a long-standing policy that allows its employees to expense their home broadband service as part of a wider effort to reduce costs in the tough economic climate, sources at the company said.

The change will apply to all of Cisco's employees worldwide, although there are likely to be exceptions for staffers who live far from an office and telecommute most days, the sources said. The changes are still being finalized and are likely to be announced internally later this week.

OSNews has an interesting article on how new computer users find the command line interface relatively easier to use than the GUIs now omnipresent in computer interfaces.

The general impression is normally that command line interfaces are more difficult to use and have been a big stumbling block toward the adoption of Linux and other similar systems.

Cisco 64-bit VPN Client is on its way!

Cisco VPN Client 64-bit is on its way!

After many years of anticipation, Cisco has finally got the message and decided to develop a 64-bit version of its popular Cisco VPN Client software!

As most Cisco engineers are aware, the absence of a 64-bit VPN Client produced a lot of problems when it came to connecting remote users (with 64-bit Windows) to the corporate network.
The 32-bit version of Cisco VPN client refuses to install on any 64-bit operating system, leaving the administrator with two options: 1) Install and configure (if possible) the new VPN trend of Web SSL VPNs, where purchasing licenses are necessary, or 2) Use a third party/opensource 64-bit VPN client.

While third-party VPN clients do provide a solution, they seem to fall short of functionality when it comes to connecting to corporate networks with multiple intranets/networks.

Now, thanks to Cisco (and the persisting community), this nightmare is nearly over as a Beta version of the 64-bit Cisco VPN client is already out.

Trials until now, show that even thought the VPN client is in Beta version (5.0.07.0240), it is extremely stable and should be ready for release very soon.

Note: We would like to thank Eleftheriadi Dimitri from Cooper-Industries for his input on this post.
