Facebook sponsors Apache
Facebook has become the open source company Apache Software Foundation’s newest sponsor with donations totaling at least 100K USD. Good news for Apache and everyone using their awesome software.
“With Open Source in its DNA, Facebook is an enthusiastic champion and active contributor to the ASF, including the Hive subproject of Apache Hadoop, as well as the popular incubating projects Thrift and Cassandra — all originally developed by Facebook,” Jagielski wrote.
Per the announcement, Facebook signed on as a platinum-level sponsor, the highest membership level available and one which requires an annual donation of at least $100,000. Other sponsorship membership levels include Gold ($40K/year), Silver ($20K/year), and Bronze ($5K/year).

AMD show off external discrete GPU enclosure
Is your old laptop lagging behind in the latest games? Wish you could upgrade it to catch up with the inevitable march of technology? A new AMD product called the ATI XGP could be the answer to this dilemma. The AMD 5000 Series Mobility External GPU would provide the power for a real 3D gaming experience.
According to MaximumPC: “The new cards will require a full PCI-e pinout, which isn’t currently standard. However, the existence of MiniPCI-e means this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. The new system was demoed on an old Acer Ferrari running a Radeon X1270. The difference was quite clear. The external GPU was able to run Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. on a triple monitor system using the Eyefinity system.
The external box itself has one DVI connector, one HDMI, three display port, two USB 2.0 ports, and a 35W power adapter. No word yet on when you’ll be able to get a laptop that supports ATI XGP, but keep an eye out.”
