Yes, this is a basic how to, but for those who do not already know, it can prove invaluable. When you [...]

Ah, now we're talking. Over the years, HomePlug and wireless HD / HDMI haven't exactly "taken off." Routing internet signals over a home's power network has been hampered by subpar transmission rates, and using wireless in the home for anything other than basic web duties has shown to be either too costly or too much hassle. Now, however, the HomePlug Powerline Alliance and the Wi-Fi Alliance have seen the light, and they're joining hands in order to jointly push their technologies to homeowners. Focused primarily on " facilitating interoperability of smart grid applications," these organizations are fixing to enable SEP 2.0 applications to operate across a diverse mix of wireless and wired networks, and hopefully they'll reach out to product manufacturers while they're at it. Here's hoping they'll be able to nail it -- the demand is certainly there, but the execution thus far has been downright depressing.

Managing a data center is more complicated than ever with the growing sophistication and interconnectedness of enterprise applications, networks and now private and public cloud resources. The challenges created by these interwoven infrastructures are difficult to overcome without the right tools. One important weapon in the data center manager's arsenal is Log management/security information event management.

T-Mobile is announcing this evening that it's now got 75 live HSPA+ markets online, with coverage for roughly 200 million Americans up and running by the end of 2010. That footprint will start off at a theoretical max downlink of 21Mbps, but the carrier will be looking to scale that to 42Mbps in 2011 with the capacity to upgrade to 84 and 168Mbps down the road -- all without ever worrying about LTE. The veracity of T-Mobile's insistence that this is a "4G" network remains debatable -- particularly in light of the ITU's ruling that only LTE-Advanced and WiMAX 2 qualify -- but then again, that same ruling would mean that neither Sprint, Verizon, nor T-Mobile really have 4G up and running in the strictest of terms, and it's hard to argue that these guys are pushing speeds that meet or exceed what either LTE or WiMAX can offer today.

To that end, the carrier is kicking off a new television ad campaign today where it proudly boasts that it's operating the nation's largest 4G network, which is sure to ruffle some feathers and set the stage for some drama-filled mudslinging among the big boys as they ramp up their next-gen networks across the country. New markets include Chicago, Colorado Springs, Ft. Wayne, Louisville, Raleigh-Durham, and Wilmington, NC, and new devices include the myTouch 4G -- officially launching tomorrow -- and the Dell Mini 10 4G, which as you can probably guess is a garden-variety Mini 10 with HSPA+ compatibility on the AWS band. Follow the break for T-Mobile's full press release.

Man, it looks like Silicon Valley is getting its butt kicked at the Califonia polls, with forecasted losses from former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina and the heavily tech industry supported Proposition 19, which would legalize marijuana in California. And you know what else is getting its butt kicked? Vote.Sos.CA.gov Apparently the entire Internet is really invested in today's California midterm elections, because the official California Secretary of State site has been either down or more spotty than Twitter for the last 20 minutes.

In an inflammatory New Yorker piece last month, Malcolm Gladwell argued that the revolution will not, in fact, be tweeted. Gladwell?s argument that social media isn?t enabling genuine political change elicited a predictable storm of protest ? from Twitter co-founders Biz Stone and Ev Williams to the co-founder of Hunch, Chris Dixon. Even Paul Carr, Techcrunch?s slightly more coiffeured version of Malcolm Gladwell, leapt leapt into the fray, defending the poor, persecuted New Yorker writer against the retweeting mob. Last month also saw the publication of Don Tapscott?s latest magnum opus, Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World, a follow up to his best-selling 2007 book Wikinomics (both co-authored with Tapscott?s long time collaborator Anthony Williams). In Macrowikinomics, Canada?s leading digital guru takes the polar opposite position to Gladwell, arguing that democratic networks like Twitter and Facebook are fundamentally changing our world, revolutionizing everything from education to healthcare to politics to media. Social media represents ?a turning point in history," Tapscott predicts in Macrowikinomics. It will, he promises, enable us to literally ?reindustrialize the planet.? Video ahead.

I know the screenshot doesn't look like much. Wow, a bunch of dots - how exciting is that? But in Gravity, it's not what the dots look like - it's how they move.

You see, each of these little dots is a virtual particle with its own "mass." The larger dots have significantly more mass than the tiny ones - more than just the visual difference. They seem to be about three times as large, but have much more than three times the gravitational pull.

You put a bunch of these particles in different sizes all over the canvas, and watch how they behave. If you do it well enough, they start orbiting each other. You can click and drag to "launch" a particle in some direction, and when it approaches another particle, you'll see them interact according to gravity. This means they don't always collide head-on - often, they both slightly curve and change orbits due to gravitational pull.

The simulation feels very realistic, and thanks to the spartan graphics, it's very fast. Be sure to click the button that says Generate proto disk - it creates a whole structure of particles that collapses on itself by default, but can be manipulated if you plant some large particles next to it.
