The tiny device -- smaller than a PDA -- comprises a hard disk, BlueTooth, a Web-DAV enabled HTTP daemon, and other technologies enabling the user to access and modify their files from any enabled PC within their "Personal Area Network." This article by Intel principal engineer and senior researcher Roy Want provides background on the personal server concept, explains how the device will enable a truly mobile experience, discusses the basic technologies involved, and provides an architectural block diagram of the prototype. <http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5772921353.html> NEW BOOK: "HACKING THE TIVO" This book delves into one of embedded Linux's biggest commercial successes: the TiVo personal video recorder. In this article about his book, von Hagen describes the communities of enterprising TiVo users that have sprung up, bringing new functionality to the device through hardware upgrades and leveraging the powerful flexibility of the device's underlying Linux OS. Obviously a great fan of the TiVo, von Hagen likens his book to the guidebooks for customizing classic cars, repairing televisions, or other how-to guides to hardware modification. Despite the word "hacking" in the title, von Hagen assures readers that nothing illegal is described or recommended in the book. <http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT3304065196.html>Archives at: <http://Wireless.Com/Dewayne-Net> Weblog at: <http://weblog.warpspeed.com>
