Wi-Fi with Solar Power

Solis Energy has produced solar power solutions that can uninterruptedly power products such as Wi-Fi routers. The system is designed for emergency use as a backup communications route, or for municipal Wi-Fi networks.

Many solar power products get little use, because of their high cost, but Solis Energy promises cost effective solutions. In areas where power grid is not close, their solar systems can generate the power necessary for small applications for a lower cost than connecting to the power grid.

TorrentSpy Shuts Down for US Residents

According to cnet news, TorrentSpy, one of the largest BitTorrent trackers has been shut down in the USA. This is what they say about it themselves:

TorrentSpy's decision to stop accepting U.S. visitors was not compelled by any court. Rather, it arises out of an uncertain legal climate in the United States regarding user privacy and the apparent tension between U.S. and European Union Internet privacy laws.

I'm not so concerned about TorrentSpy shutting down, but at the same time they are under a judge's order to hand over user data from their servers. That should not happen. Hopefully their appeal is approved.

Endeavour Crew Enters Space Station

The space shuttle Endeavour will conduct 3 planned space walks, and installation of the International Space Station S5 Truss, of the Integrated Truss Structure. It will also have a SPACEHAB module carrying 5,000 pounds of supplies and equipment to the International Space Station, and carry the second "Teacher in Space" onboard.

When Endeavour was launched on August 8th 2007, 9 pieces of foam insulator fell from the Shuttle's fuel tank. Three hit Endeavour, but are believed to be too small to cause serious damage. However, during inspection on approach to the ISS, a "gouge" was discovered on the underbelly of the Shuttle. The Mission has been altered to include taking pictures of the damage whilst docked at the ISS and sending to Houston for help in possible repairing.

4 TB Storage for Home and Business Users

Lets see what Wikipedia has to say about the TeraStation:
"The TeraStation is a Network-attached storage device using a PowerPC or ARM architecture processor similar to the LinkStation. It uses 4 internal Hard drives mounted in a RAID array[16]. It comes in a grey or black Cube shaped box depending on the model."

And,
"Additionally, because the Apache HTTP Server software is already installed for the purpose of providing the Buffalo configuration screens, the device is easily converted to be a lightweight web server (with the Buffalo content deleted) and then can serve any content of the operator's choice."
