O Kitchen designed for portability, small spaces

This particular gadget is known as the O Kitchen, a concept device created by a team of Brazilian designers. I suppose it is named the O Kitchen because it can fold up into a large ball. Yet without a hole in the middle, I wouldn’t call it an “O”. I guess they didn’t like the name “Ball Kitchen”. I’m not even going to allude to what that sounds like.

This O Kitchen was designed to be an easily portable and compact kitchen, presumably made for those who don’t have the space for a big kitchen. Of course, this takes up some space too. Find out what all the numbers mean after the jump.

Each of the number corresponds to a different feature on the O Kitchen: 1) Unified microwave and electric oven; 2) Refrigerator; 3) Dishwasher; 4) Cooktop; 5) Smell and steam exhaust; 6) Lighting; 7) Control panel with internet access, MP3 player function, CD/DVD reader, digital cookbook, kitchen management software, built-in sound system; 8 ) Cabinets; 9) Automatic disposal system; 10) High temperature alert display.

I can see another use for the O Kitchen: outdoors. Why bother taking the grill to a tailgate party when you can just roll the O Kitchen in the back of the pickup truck? Of course, you’re probably going to have to bungee it down somehow so it doesn’t roll out on a sudden stop.

PowerHouse eMonitor lets you manage power use down to the circuit
As energy prices increase, so does our desire to understand and actively manage household power use. Joining the fight alongside Google's PowerMeter and NEC's "dung beetle" game, PowerHouse Dynamic's eMonitor interfaces with your circuit box to tell you how much energy each individual circuit is using, and the management software seems particularly robust: users can look forward to real-time stats, customized energy saving recommendations based on your home's energy usage, and a handy read-out of your "carbon footprint" and what it would take to offset it. In addition to all that, alerts can be configured for everything from overloaded circuits to left-on appliances, individual outlets and thermostats can be controlled remotely (optional), and an iPhone app is slated to be released later this year. Packages start at $800. PR, video after the break.

CA buys cloud platform provider 3Tera

IT management software vendor CA has announced that it will be acquiring privately-held 3Tera for an undisclosed amount. 3Tera is the creator of AppLogic, a management platform in which a graphically oriented system is used to configure applications for deployment in the cloud.

CA says that this latest acquisition is part of the company's effort to handle application management issues in the cloud, tying them back to CA's existing system management and performance monitoring products. In addition, CA also has plans to expand 3Tera's virtualization support beyond the Xen virtualization platform, and to eventually support competing platforms such as VMWare ESX and Microsoft HyperV.

Gartner analyst Donna Scott says that this latest acquisition is CA's strategy to "get ahead of the curve." Scott noted that "[CA] is buying small companies early instead of waiting for a fully developed (cloud) marketplace."

Of CA's intention to enter into the cloud computing market, Forrester Research analyst James Staten wrote in a blog post: "If anyone doubted CA Inc.'s intention to get into the cloud computing market, you can't get away with that skepticism anymore. This company is serious."

The Impact Of CA’s Acquisition Of 3Tera
CA Inc.

Image via Wikipedia

Yesterday CA Inc., the enterprise IT company formerly known as Computer Associates, announced its intent to acquire the cloud computing provider 3Tera. Even though the details of the deal are not available, there are some unconfirmed reports going around the blogosphere and twitterverse saying it could be 30x the current 3Tera revenue. This acquisition follows CA’s other acquisitions relevant to cloud space like Cassatt, NetQoS and Oblicore. This news has the potential to shake up the enterprise cloud computing market.

Traditionally, CA is a leading player in Enterprise IT Management software for mainframes and distributed systems. After the controversy surrounding the indictment of their then CEO, Sanjay Kumar, in the mid part of last decade, they put their house in order and started pushing products around “Lean IT” campaign. As cloud computing gained steam towards the end of the last decade and the recession forced the enterprises to take a second look at the cloud for adoption, CA was busy acquiring companies like NetQOS, Oblicore and Cassatt. But there were no telltale signs of any immediate cloud play. It appears, with all these acquisitions, CA was putting the necessary pieces of puzzle in place to take off as a strong and credible IaaS player. 3Tera’s acquisition gives us some hints about what is going to come out of CA in the coming years. It also sends a unambiguous signal that they are in for a long haul.

CA’s path to cloud nirvana through acquisitions is hardly surprising because CA is, in fact, built by a series of acquisitions from 1977 onwards. Already the blogosphere was buzzing around with the news that CA plans to spend $300 million buying cloud startups. So, their strategy to buy 3Tera is not at all surprising. I will briefly analyze the impact of this acquisition.

  • First and foremost, this deal firmly puts an end to the spin that cloud computing is all hype and a marketing term. This move by a traditional IT vendor is a clear message that cloud computing is the future for the enterprises. We are soon going to see more and more enterprise customers jumping into the cloud bandwagon.
  • This could also be considered as a beginning of consolidation in the infrastructure space. Even though I don’t believe in the idea of monopoly of handful of infrastructure players, a shakeup through consolidation will always be there in a maturing market. This just shows the maturation of the cloud computing market leading to more and more enterprise adoption.
  • This also puts CA as one of stronger contenders in the Cloud infrastructure marketplace. It is like a parachute for CA to jump right into the middle of this competitive marketplace without any hard work. Well, we cannot consider CA to be an innovator like other cloud startups in the market and the only way for a titan from the old world to get into the mix of the new generation is by acquiring a hot company like 3Tera.
  • This is also a good news to other small players in the industry. It legitimizes their approach and offers them hope that someone else might come knocking on their door pretty soon. Overall such a consolidation advances the cloud marketplace to the next level.

Even though it is exciting from many angles, I do have some concerns about this merger.

  • When I think of this acquisition of 3tera, the first thing that comes to my mind is “why CA?”. Personally, I strongly believe that a titan from a previous generation cannot innovate in the next generation like some of their newer counterparts. I am sure some of the fellow members of Clouderati will vehemently criticize this belief but I think of it as IBM in the desktop world dominated by Microsoft. They can do some interesting things but the innovation vigor will be lacking. Frankly, I just don’t like a old world enterprise guy messing around with clouds.
  • Another important concern is what will happen to Applogic? Will it continue to be an independent product? From all the indications in the press, I get a feeling that it is going to be tightly integrated with CA’s existing product lines. If it happens, some of the existing 3Tera customers, especially the small and medium sized ones, will be left in a lurch. A move away from the current standalone version of Applogic software could be disastrous for these 3Tera’s clients. I spoke with one of their clients today and asked them about their strategy in the aftermath of this news. They told me that they are cautiously optimistic and their sources in 3tera has given them assurances about long term support for Applogic. Realizing this predicament of 3Tera’s customers, their competitors have already started to fish in the troubled waters.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out in the long term. It will also be interesting to see who is the next target for CA with the rest of $300 Million they have have in the pockets.

Hugh sez, "LibriVox, makers of free public domain audiobooks, has launched a fund-raising campaign to help pay for servers and other sundry costs. LibriVox is the most prolific audiobook publisher in the world, putting out 75-100 books a month, all free, all public domain, all volunteer-read. The catalog currently stands at 3,179 books, in 29 languages."

They're after $20K, to pay for the servers, a site redesign, and a new back-end, and they say it'll last them for three years. I love the Librivox catalog, and this sounds like a good investment in its future. I kicked in $100.

We're asking for donations for the following:

  • to cover hosting costs for our website (about $5,000/year)*, which includes:
    • the site you are reading now;
    • the forum;
    • the wiki;
    • the catalog;
    • a whole lot of back-end software to host and process audio before it goes to the Internet Archive
    • but does NOT include hosting audio files which is done by Archive.org
  • to redesign the site and improve its accessibility
  • to make the LibriVox catalog easier for listeners to use
  • to make the management software easier for admins to use

We expect this fund-raising drive to sustain us for three years at least.

LibriVox Needs Your Help (Thanks, Hugh!)
