OpenAjax Hub

A few weeks ago, we where working on a project, where we need to use more than one Javascript library, we need Rico(openrico.org) and script.aculo.us, plus may be mootools, so they were not compatible and I couldn't find a solution for this, but tight now I found some sites, addressing the same problem, and better than that the solution, here it is:

So, go on check it, but let me just paste a brief here for you:
The OpenAjax Hub is a key technology component within the umbrella term OpenAjax Conformance. The OpenAjax Alliance recommends that Web developers and IT professionals demand OpenAjax Conformance as an industry requirement from its Ajax technology providers. By requiring OpenAjax Conformance, customers gain confidence in their technology and product choices and realize benefits in terms of the ability to integrate Ajax technologies from multiple suppliers, the ability to change suppliers at reduced costs, and increased certainty that their suppliers are adopting industry best practices. To be OpenAjax Conformant, among other requirements, Ajax runtime libraries must support the conformance criteria found within the OpenAjax Hub Specification.
hmmm, may be we have these standards in the future, I wish...
Any way project home is:

Nanotube Forests Grown On Silicon Chips For Future Computers, Electronics

PhysOrg.com, October 3, 2007
Purdue engineers have shown how to grow forests of carbon nanotubes onto the surfaces of computer chips to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where the chips connect to heat sinks.

Researchers are trying to develop new types of thermal interface materials that conduct heat more efficiently than conventional materials, improving overall performance and helping to meet cooling needs of future chips that will produce more heat than current microprocessors. The materials, which are sandwiched between silicon chips and the metal heat sinks, fill gaps and irregularities between the chip and metal surfaces to enhance heat flow between the two.

Its Creators Call Internet Outdated, Offer Remedies

Wall Street Journal (requires subscription), October 2, 2007
There's a growing debate over whether the Internet's current infrastructure is sufficient to handle the explosion of bandwidth-hungry services such as Internet telephony and video.

In a recent report, Cisco calculated that monthly Internet traffic in North America will increase 264 percent by 2011 to more than 7.8 million terabytes, or the equivalent of 40 trillion email messages. If such Internet traffic continues increasing, many believe networks could crash or at least slow to a crawl.

To tackle the problem, a slew of start-ups are producing gear and software to accelerate Internet traffic or to increase the network's capacity.

Online videos may be conduits for viruses

Malicious code could be embedded in online video players, according to a report on Internet threats released Tuesday by the Georgia Tech Information Security Center.

One worm discovered in November 2006 launches a corrupt Web site without prompting after a user opens a media file in a player. Another program silently installs spyware when a video file is opened. Attackers have also tried to spread fake video links via postings on YouTube.
