The nice folks at OpenSPARC (Public, NASDAQ:SUNW) have donated a T1000 for this Project:
CSGE will focus on the Innovation Challenge (see report)
The presentation can be advanced using the buttons or downloaded. In Morocco our focus is to do more than organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful (NASDAQ:GOOG). Any computer can be used to do that. Any computer can do this too:
The GUI is only a website running a webcore-based browser
The GUI (Graphical User Interface)
can be customized just like an ordinary website. The Internet Cafe/New
Media Learning Lab Team publish applications and information through
it. Applications are linked by using app:// inside the html. In this
way, you can create many different graphical interfaces for the EFIKA (that comes in handy with talking icons and Arabic).
The GUI is hosted on the server (T1000). If the Team decides to change
the applications on the server the app://links just needs to be added
in the right place. All the users see are the changes to their desktop.
That also works if you can take one home. Using html/css, you can provide individual user-based interfaces (smart cards do come in handy!).
This is not just about podcasting (or podcatching).
It is about franchising and syndication of a community "channel" and a
platform that goes with it. This becomes a portal to a "network" in the
traditional television broadcast sense of the word, but it works in
both ways. Managing the content and traffic to and from each device and each community on the network is the foundation of value. Sort of like this:
Computing
is about to move to a whole new level (think atomic orbital approach to
bonding) not because it is faster or bigger, but because it becomes
accessible and can involve more participation and sharing. The first
step is to get the EFIKA into the hands of a whole new group of users so the dialogue can begin.
Develop a Future with us. Be more than aPod.
Thanks again to you Sun!
