 In recent years the thin or connected client has evolved to include a few designs that almost resemble a full PC. Almost. The modern client also contains enough of the technical guts to actually take care of computational tasks itself. Most of these hybrid clients also have some level of local storage, usually in the form of a flash memory module. So with local storage, local memory and CPU et-al, why call it a thin client at all? Well, the difference lies not only in its paired-down system specs but also in how it is used.

I just found this video, taken from a TV news broadcast, that covers the technological revolution going on at that wee high school on the isle of Islay in the Southern Hebrides. They're using UMPCs in the classroom and at home, attempting to produce Europe's first fully digital classroom. The video offers a highly illuminating juxtaposition of quiet island life and cutting edge high-tech living. I love it.

 Thin Clients, or Connected Clients as we here at VIA prefer to say, are slowly gaining more coverage in the online press and, it seems, are slowly starting to be touted as the future of modern computing. While thin clients have been gaining popularity in the enterprise or business sector, your average Joe has little clue what the term actually refers to. I hope to shed some light on a growing phenomena, its origins and potential future impact. Even if you're not average and your not called Joe, this article should shed some light.

Having blogged about the top ten esoteric Open Source applications I've finally got around compiling my own. Most of 'em are pretty well known and some will be damnright famous but I reckon I've included a few less well known favourites of mine that may just become favourites of yours too. | | Read more...

 The new EPIA SN Series Mini-ITX motherboard from VIA Technologies has just this minute surfaced in an official press release from the company. It represents a momentous moment for all involved in the development of small computers. Measuring a mere 12cm x 12cm this motherboard is on average 30% more powerful than previous EPIA Mini-ITX boards and has just about everything a Mini PC enthusiast could want. Oh, it also has a Windows Vista certified IGP. | | Read more... (0 Comments) |

I just came a across a fantastic blog posting on 'Live Slick'. It's a top ten of open source / free software that I'm sure many of us will not have heard of.
'It's always a shame when a great program is not heard about by most people - especially when it's free. Here are the top 10 freeware software that many people still haven't tried, but definitely should.'
The list covers a few applications that I had certainly never heard of, and a few that I regularly use. Foxit reader and Sharepod would be the two I most appreciate. However, I feel obliged to put my own top ten together. It might not be quite as esoteric as the Live Slick one, but it'd be a list of useful wee gems nevertheless. Anyway that's something I'll have to ponder. Perhaps tomorrow. | | Read more... (0 Comments) |
