You Have Choices

During my childhood, I always think Is it up to us to choose our life. I always heard from the poor poeple saying that life is very hard and working hard is a must for them in order to maintain current life style. Is that really true, and do we really have to work so hard just to get what we want? When I grow up, the same thing happens to me and people around me. Then I have another question in mind, when the time we get what we think we want, is that really what we want?

Heat is buckling the flight decks of Navy ships; this looks like a job for the thermal management experts

Posted by John KellerEvery now and then I run across things that although they have little, if anything, to do with aerospace and defense electronics, still stop me in my tracks. Here's one I tripped over this morning: did you know the hot exhaust from the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is buckling the flight decks of the Navy's big-deck amphibious assault ships?I didn't either, but this

Trends: another embedded software supplier snapped up by a computer hardware company

Posted by John KellerWell, it's official: microprocessor hardware maker Cavium Networks is acquiring MontaVista Software. This is the second time in a year that a hardware company is acquiring an influential embedded software company. You might remember last June when Intel bought Wind River Systems. We're seeing a trend here. In both instances, the hardware company is going after the software

COTS, COTS, COTS, COTS

Posted by John McHale. Nearly everyone I speak to at defense electronics trade shows or for interviews over the phone brings up the COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) procurement term in some way. They make COTS products, use COTS practices, or think COTS is the worst thing in the world. Everyone seems to have different definitions or different acronyms for COTS. I've heard GOTS --

We're not playin' around: E-networking means business, not socializing
