Quizá los fabricantes estén buscando nuevos métodos de personalización para los ordenadores portátiles, ahora que utilizar diferentes colores en la carcasa parece que ya está implantado (no hay más que ver, por ejemplo, los Dell Studio Hybrid).
Una de las características del Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Mini, el ultraportátil de Fujitsu, es que tendrá carcasas intercambiables que podrán cambiarse de forma muy sencilla, tal y como muestra este vídeo. Las diferentes carcasas únicamente parecen diferir en el color, aunque es posible que si la idea tiene éxito, Fujitsu pueda crear nuevas carcasas con diferentes diseños entre ellas, como por ejemplo estampados, diseños basados en fotografías o, por qué no, totalmente personalizados al gusto del usuario.
Toda la tecnología en general está acercándose a la personalización casi completa de la carcasa externa. Juraría que este Amilo Mini es el primer ejemplo en el que es el propio fabricante el que ofrece varias carcasas, aunque luego son muchas las páginas que venden láminas de vinilo, por ejemplo, para situar en la parte superior del ordenador. Un ejemplo de esto es GelaSkins con las láminas de vinilo para MacBooks, pero buscando un poco no es complicado encontrar unas cuantas páginas que se dedican a la personalización de ordenadores.

Today I came across a very interesting post, written by Mukul Kumar, which poses an intriguing topic of Cloud availability. Spawned most likely because of some “lack” of availability on Amazon’s S3 recently, Kumar discusses how companies might wa…
OSGi is a Java-based service platform that can be remotely managed. The core part of the specifications is a framework that defines an application life cycle management model, a service registry, an Execution environment and Modules. Based on this framework, a large number of OSGi Layers, APIs, and Services have been defined. OSGi Specification is maintained by OSGi Alliance.
Server side OSGi applications now can also be easily deployed on computing clouds implemented by Amazon (EC2). With several mouse clicks your exported bundles can be uploaded to remote storage (S3) and added to profile (Launch Configuration). Now virtual servers (EC2 instances) containing OSGi framework provisioned with selected bundles can easily be started.
