Some days ago Matt Ettus released the new USRP2 board. It’s the successor of the famous URSP/GNURadio hardware. Some of the USRP2-features:

Gigabit ethernet interface replacing the former USB2 interface

SD-Card for storing configuration, firmware and [...]

Nachdem die Mittagspausen in Erfurt demnächst häufiger werden, hier der Beginn einer kleinen kulinarischen Testreihe quer durch Erfurt

Heute: SushiFreunde Erfurt
Ein relativ neuer Sushiladen in Erfurt mit einem wirklich sehr feinem Ambiente und sehr freundlichem Servicepersonal. Die Zusammenstellung der Menus finde ich noch ausbaufähig, aber beim “Friends-Menü” mit 8 Futo Maki, 8 Hoso Maki, [...]

After the prove-of-concept of an software defined DVB-T Transmitter there is a new project concentrating on the development of an GSM basestation It’s called OpenBTS and again based on the the GNURadio / URSP hard- and software in combination with asterisk an open source PBX telephony platform. Background information on this project can [...]

So Google released it’s own high-gloss webbrowser, based on Apples rock-solid and security-proven WebKit. They sell their concept of having seperated processes in every browser tab by a better scalability, less negative effects of memory-leaks and especially security. But what’s that:
Software: Google Chrome Browser 0.2.149.27
Tested: Windows XP Professional SP3
Result: Google Chrome Crashes with All Tabs
Problem: [...]
