HP have issued an advisory after viruses were found on the the 256MB and 1GB USB flash drives which can be used to configure their ProLiant servers.

Ultra Products are suing 22 power supply manufacturers claiming they have infringed their patent for modular power supplies. Ultra argues that since the other manufacturers were informed in 2006 and early 2007 (shortly after the patent was granted) they willfully infringed on Ultra's intellectual property.

Ars Technica look at whether Internet traffic growth is increasing or falling. A prominent strain of recent argument has claimed that the Internet is headed for an "exaflood" of traffic (which will soon be measured in exabytes), largely coming from the rise of online video, and that the ISPs and backbone providers are in danger of having their levees knocked down. … To get more context on the issue, I sat down with Andrew Odlyzko of the University of Minnesota, one of the top US experts on Internet traffic patterns.
Polaroid is to release a battery-powered printer which can be used with cameras (via a cable) and Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones. Inside, no cartridges or toner take up space. Instead, there is a computer chip, a 2-inch-long thermal printhead and a novel kind of paper embedded with microscopic layers of dye crystals that can create a multitude of colors when heated.
