Linux and Android are two closely linked open-source projects, but they've been as notable for how distant they are from each other--until yesterday. That's when Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel project, released a version of the operating system core that bridges between the two worlds.

LAS VEGAS Microsoft kicked off the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Monday night here much as the company has done since its first CES keynote in 1998 extolling the virtues of Windows and promising big things from its operating system in the future.

It's sunny, plant-filled, and vast. No, this isn't your typical dentist's office.

Fujitsu Laboratories announced the development of a compact silicon photonics light source for use in optical transceivers required for optical interconnects capable of carrying large volumes of data at high speeds between CPUs. In the past, when the silicon photonics light sources built into optical transceivers, and the optical modulators that encode data into the light emitted from the light source experienced thermal fluctuations, a mismatch between the lasing wavelength of the light source and the operating wavelength of the modulator could arise, causing concern that the light would not carry information. This is why thermal control has become indispensable as a way to maintain operating wavelengths that consistently match.

Running a business should earn you an honorary degree given all you will learn, says Brian Hamilton, the co-founder and CEO of Sageworks. We live and we learn
