Tussle in Brussels: The EC’s Oracle-Sun Hearing, Day 1

Oracle is defending its planned acquisition of Sun Microsystems before the European Commission this week, and according to the company’s legal team, the first day of arguments went quite well. “I am extremely happy,” Oracle attorney Thomas Vinje said of the first half of the two-day hearing in Brussels.

And evidently for good reason. Oracle (ORCL) has managed to muster a substantial list of customers willing to argue that its purchase of Sun (JAVA), and more specifically, ofSource: Digital Daily RSS Feed

Generating high-quality sine waves with Arduino

Need to generate a high-quality sine wave using an Arduino? The folks over at Lab3 explain how it's done with their Arduino DDS Sinewave Generator.

KLM Claims First Biofuel Airline Passenger Flight

Dutch airline KLM has made the latest step in what appears to be a rush by airlines to demonstrate the use of alternative fuels. The airline made what it is calling the first passenger flight using biofuel.

On board during the hour long flight over the Netherlands were about 40 people including journalists, politicians, and the Dutch director of theSource: Autopia RSS Feed

Bliptronic 5000 synthesizer: it's like a Tenori-On, but affordable

Yamaha's Tenori-On may be swank, and the slightly more affordable 'Orange' version may be attainable for the middle-class, but we've been waiting far too long for an el cheapo version. Thanks to ThinkGeek, that wait has finally ended, and all of our most intense and outlandish dreams are now a reality. The Bliptronics 5000 LED Synthesizer is, for all intents and purposes, a cheapened and less-featured version of the aforesaid Yamaha, capable of spitting out 8-bit bleeps and bloops at varying tempos based on what buttons you have toggled. And look, for $49.99, it's tough to complain. Hop on past the break for a video demonstration, and feel free to go ahead and bust that plastic out while you're at it -- it's not like you haven't already taken it for quite the ride today.
