Mobile phones and the future

I’m think now with Firefox OS and Ubuntu mobile trying to get in to the  mobile market not sure who will be the winner will be. I think Ubuntu has a good chance with their one interface for phone and another interface for big screen, when it’s docked is amazing. It’s not new but looks promising on video.  And they are saying easy to import android apps is a plus for them too.

Firefox os I’m not so sure about html 5 apps I think apple tried that 1st didn’t work well. not sure where windows will be though i’m sure some big companies might use it for the control.

Will see this interesting development. sadly only one can win though

HP ProLiant Turion II N40L MicroServer Review

I was surprised how good it is only £139.99 after cashback. Installed  home server 2011 using the USB key which was pain free took a while to install though. that might be to do with windows server software. very quite. I like the build quality. Drives are hot swappable and their is an internal usb port you can run the OS from a 64 GB usb key and use the drives bay for the storage. I didn’t do it that was but if you after some fast boot time you can. All screws and even the screw driver is came with a server. Only thing I cant find is the SATA cable for CD rom but using usb disk to install is pain free.

This server has very low power consumption as well thanks to AMD low power processor only 15watt . If any one with under 10 user then this server is highly recommended. it does the mac back up as well as all windows computer from xp.
