From ZDNet:

Newcastle-based Jade Integration will launch one of the smallest thin-client computers available in the UK to date, the Jack PC, next month.

Containing all the electronics needed to run as a low- to medium-power PC, the Jack PC, as its name suggests, will fit into a standard size wall socket. The entire PC sits on two layered circuitboards. It contains an AMD RISC processor to help reduce power consumption and heat output.

Most people won’t be able to use this at home just yet, though.  It’s not a full-powered PC, but a “thin client” like the kind that many offices use to connect to a central server.  Still, it’s a further step on the path toward computers that we’ll lose in the washing machine and under the couch. :)

After much consideration, we regret to announce that we have discontinued the Semo.net Lotto contest. We would like to thank all of our customers that have participated in the weekly event and to congratulate all of the previous winners!

Semo.net recently hosted a FBI lecture in Poplar Bluff about current Internet based security threats that business face today. Along with area businesses the DAR was there to report, check out what they have to say here.

The Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities submitted a report to Congress yesterday showing that Peer-to-Peer filesharing traffic on campus networks has dropped over the last year; in some cases by as much as 50%. Likely factors contributing to the decline include a growing number of universities making deals with “legitimate” online music services such as the now industry-friendly Napster and Apple’s iTunes Music Store, as well as over 150 cases of students being sued for copyright infringement.

And now some geeky fun: a collection of funny articles from Microsoft’s Knowledge Base.
