BlackBerry unveils bold new strategy: Suing the c**p out of Facebook

1. Displaying error messages in confusing jargon to cause user to assume delightful cross-eyed expression

2. designing unusable tiny keys to enhance appreciation of auto-correction feature

3. raising the device in your hand to enhance viewing the screen

4. producing loud error tones to cause embarrassment and Stockholm-syndrome-like loyalty in users with low self-esteem

5. humiliating peers with crass comparisons to farm animals having sex

6. plugging in to wall connected device to enhance battery charge

7. changing center of gravity of device to make sure it lands face down on the screen enhancing maintenance opportunities and revenue

I rmember all of this was in there somewhere....

VC vampire: Peter Thiel wants to live forever

Actually there is hard science behind this

They did a trial on mice where they found that infusing old mice with young mice's' blood got rid of age related markers in the blood, and seemed to rejuvenate the mice. Made them healthier and lice longer too.

There's also some science to suggest that aging has a lot to do with the robustness of your mitochondria, the 'factories' in your cells that process energy and create proteins that the cells need. A quick way to imp[rove those is to take L-Glycine, available at Amazon or your local health food store.

Google teams with Iron Mountain for LTO-to-cloud migration

Re: Fat Pipes

If you have 10 gbps you don't need Iron Mountain to send things to Google for you.

The more typical things is to use a local virtual tape device and deduplication with replication. Most restores will be from recent backups that are still on the local device. If your backups are highly deduplicated it reduces the restore bandwidth needed significantly.
