Tangent's Rugged Mini Fanless PC resembles a giant heatsink {Engadget}
Jun 7th 2007 9:12AM Yes, there are USB-to-Serial adapters available on the market, howeve rthey ustilize their own driver software which renders them incompatible with certain pieces of hardware. I worked with an A/V + Security install copany a while back and bought an older laptop with a com port simply because I didn't have to worry about what adapter will work with what security panel/lighting control module/etc. In a custom car PC configuration it would seem to be easier to just have com ports built in to integrate with custom sensors/ECU connections. Also remember that this is a fanless design and works with convection, you need some space for airflow, too small a form factor and there would be minimal airflow maximizing the potential for thermal failure. Thats how I see it anyways....
Linus Torvalds to Microsoft: put up or shut up {Engadget}
May 19th 2007 11:37AM Heh, why does everyone always quote visual similarities when people compare MAC OS and Windows? Why not the more staggering similarities between Active Directory in XP/Server2003 and the NDS strutures from Novell? Or just does no one care because Novell is usually limited to enterprise solutions and the average user doesn't see it... Meh, anyway, maybe more research can be done so we don't hear the same arguments all the time, yes?
