IBM Uses Quad-Core Package to Boost Power5+ Performance
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It's the first week in October, and that is one of the traditional times for IBM to inject its latest Power processor technology into its Unix-based server lines and chase a little competitive money in the final quarter of the year. With the Power5+ processor announcements this week, IBM is following on its tradition of beefing up its iron, to be sure. But like other server makers these days, IBM's approach to rolling out new processors is just as focused on keeping the electricity usage and heat dissipation to a minimum while driving up the performance it can deliver in a particular machine's form factor.

Sun and Google: What's the Big Deal?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
One of the hot stories this week was a vague partnership between formerly high-flying server maker Sun Microsystems and nearby golden child Google, which could just be the two bookends of the dot-com boom, if you think about it for a second. The partnership between Sun and Google doesn't amount to much--at least as far as anyone can tell, at least not yet. READ MORE >

SCO Pushed to a Loss in Q3 as Unix Sales Slip
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Unix operating system software provider The SCO Group continues to have difficulty pushing its products in the face of heated competition from Linux suppliers and Microsoft with its Windows alternative on X86 and X64 iron. SCO has turned in a pretty rough third fiscal quarter ended July 31, which is probably attributable in part to the roll out of its "Legend" OpenServer 6 variant of Unix at the end of June.

Mad Dog 21/21: New Moth
by Hesh Wiener
Something funny happened when the 1816 edition of the Farmer's Almanac, also known as the Old Farmer's Almanac, was being prepared. Due to some kind of fluke, the Almanac forecast a snowstorm in New England for July 13. And that's exactly what happened! It's no wonder, then, that readers of the Almanac, which has been published continuously since 1792, take its weather forecasts seriously. But you don't need that venerable publication to forecast this: For the foreseeable future, you're going to spend a lot more for the electricity to heat and cool your computer. READ MORE >
