Sun xVM VirtualBox 3.0: Virtual Developer's Delight
,----[ Quote ]
| With little fanfare, Sun Microsystems released version 3.0 of xVM VirtualBox,
| the Open Source and multi-platform desktop virtualization tool for Unix,
| Linux, Windows and Mac. The new release represents a culmination of hundreds
| of bugfixes and significant performance enhancements, including the ability
| for the product to permit guest OSes to use up to 32 virtual CPUs each. Under
| previous versions of the product, only one CPU core per guest OS was
| permitted.

bashreduce: A Bare-Bones MapReduce
,----[ Quote ]
| In late 2004, Google surprised the world of computing with the release of the
| paper MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters. That paper
| ushered in a new model for data processing across clusters of machines that
| had the benefit of being simple to understand and incredibly flexible. Once
| you adopt a MapReduce way of thinking, dozens of previously difficult or
| long-running tasks suddenly start to seem approachable–if you have sufficient
| hardware.
|
| [...]
|
| In fact, the MapReduce model has proven so useful that the Apache Hadoop
| project (an Open Source implementation of the infrastructure described in the
| Google paper) has become very popular in the last few years. Yahoo, which
| employs numerous Hadoop committers, recently hosted their annual Hadoop
| Summit which attracted over 500 users and developers.

VirtualBox 3.0: No More Booting Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| VirtualBox 3.0, with its improved 3D support, can ensure that some users
| won't need to boot Windows even when gaming.
|
| With its version 3.0 of VirtualBox, Innotek/Sun/Oracle made a significant
| step forward. End users will probably like the 3D graphics support the most:
| you can now run Ubuntu with Compiz. The new version brings enhancements and
| support for OpenGL 2.0.
