Hi Shawn,

I love your videoś and they have helped me a lot. I like Google Gears, but what happens on your Ubuntu desktop, doens't happen on mine: I get no shortcut. Please help me, because this way I can not access Gmail offline mode. Keep on the good work.

Not compatible with 64bit :(

Yes, this video is great, and I immediately rushed on gears.google.com (was waiting for this happen).
Downloaded Gears and got: "...could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Linux_X86_64-gcc3)"

This is awesome! I've been

This is awesome! I've been waiting for Google Gears to support Gmail. Thanks for doing a video on it, it's always helpful to see it in action.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
