While a few astronauts become heroes, some seem to come back to earth and never come back to earth. Their behavior becomes eccentric. Their utterances become bizarre. Some even claim they have seen aliens.

One guy admits, “I was a normal human being until I was thirty five years old.” and then he found hi-fi, and he’s been obsessed ever since. It’s all about a love affair with exotic gear, sound, and yes, music.
Full video after the jump.
Some guys are into
cars, some gamble, or blow the budget on [...]
But the sad thing is [Sun's] failure to build a community around it, getting other people involved. And that’s tied to Sun owning OpenOffice.org. It’s a Sun project. They own all of the code, they demand ownership rights, and that just really retards developer interest. I mean: [Who] would want to work cleaning someone else’s [...]
Using other fabrication facilities could mean Aptina wouldn’t have to compete with other Micron manufacturing priorities, and other companies have expertise. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, for example, builds sensors for Kodak and made a cutting-edge sensor prototype developed by Stanford researcher Keith Fife.
The approach is reminiscent of buying processed food rather than raw ingredients in grocery [...]

This changed in 2005 when Oracle acquired its way into identity management with the purchase of Oblix and Thor Technologies. Even with these acquisitions, many industry watchers never thought that Oracle could buy its way into the market and weave disparate products into an integrated suite.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Oracle dabbled in [...]
That’s actually well short of what Kryder’s Law predicts–if hard drive capacity continues to double every year, then the hard drives of 2015 should be 128 times larger than today’s. So the IBM researchers’ claims of up to 100x capacity, while impressive, are not particularly surprising given the trends of the past decade. According to [...]
At that point, service will determine who wins the most customers and operational efficiency will determine who profits most from them. The former will be increasingly influenced by those vendors who make “software” easy to use. The latter will be influenced by those who quickly learn to manage scale through tools like Reductive Labs’ Puppet, [...]

After the job the original Crysis did on even high-end gaming PCs, it didn’t surprise us when we heard from PC vendors requesting that we adopt the supposedly optimized, more forgiving Crysis: Warhead as a high-end gaming test. We’ve also heard from EA that it recognizes the problem for testers and that a solution [...]
