My take on MIT's top 10 emerging technologies

Modeling surprise: They have long been working on this, I am yet to see when they will display their prototype.

My take: Dymystification of Dimensions and Interactive visualizations will lead to such tools. when disruption-aware pattern based monitoring will start feeding that engine, we will get data and reality-tools will emerge from all over the place.

Emergence of tools as such will in fact curb and contain the surprise elements by signalling about their occurrence in the future, in the present.

Probalility chips: Totally agree with Krishna.

My take: We need singular multi-tasking appliances and we will see innovation of chips. Also watch out for my other articles where I'll suggest why AMD may eventually have an upper hand, also there will be hoards of chipmakers (there are already).

Offline web apps:

My take: I call them "Optimizable Internet Appliances". We are looking at the Appliance 2.0 breed today. Software appliances, that is still packaged and carried across by all of us. Internet Appliances, the Appliances 3.0 stage will be indeed the connection between the web (via browser) and a device (via locationally reconfigurable hubs - meaning thin layer of SSO/SSL/VPN and session based management and you are up and running as-you-relax)

Alternative Fuels development - Cellulose enzymes, corn, maize, ...water eventually.

I am expecting eventually breaking up the H2 from the water and creating energy for everyone.

Reality mining - Real world web (Gartner's prediction)

My take - Real-Time Analysis. Today we rely, me heavily, on our "senses" to feel and understand the person on the other side. We will soon experience a lot of collisive convergence of human behaviour patterns and how they will "expose" ourselves. Scary.

Others are fun to read as well. See them all here...

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
