Brand Designs
Strong brands are necessary for great success, but it's not
as simple as choosing a fancy name, and a clever tagline, even with top-notch
materials. Branding comes with deep
pitfalls for those with their heads in the clouds.

Advanced techniques for crude oil production
Considering the importance of oil to the global economy, it is surprising how little attention was paid to last week's report by the German Energy Watch Group. The news that world wide oil supply has gone into terminal decline and will soon be outstripped by demand seems to prompt only shrugs and a deft change in topic.
According to the report, oil production probably peaked in 2006. Top international oil companies – the so called oil majors – have collectively been unable to increase production for the last ten years "despite an unprecedented rise in oil prices."
But detailed simulations of how oil reservoirs are drained, run on high-performance computer grids, are helping fight the decline.
Designing to inspire love
What do a Fiat 500, a bubblegum
machine and a Danish rocking chair have in common? The gum is not to fix leaks in a car that sways like a fairground ride, and, despite appearances, they are not toys. No, in fact, they are some of the most treasured objects of the designers featured in this article. Between them they share attributes that inspire love in a way that most objects fail to do. The question is: how?
Feacal Attraction
It looks bad and smells terrible, but animal waste can fuel power stations and can even be used in your car.
Can excrement energy save the world?
The big time for HPC
There is no shortage of solvable problems that require enormous computer power to find the solution, but has Microsoft's Computer Cluster finally taken high-performance computing (HPC) mainstream.
Tricky Questions
It’s impossible to predict everything that could go wrong in a business, but asking awkward questions could avert disaster
Security Forum updates legal repository

Zero day of the dead
Beware! You may never know you are part of a global invasion of the system snatchers.
Unlocking The Grid
Grid
computing has successfully crossed from research to business. Yet for
most companies, the grid remains a remote vision hampered by
exaggerated expectation.
For most of the day, a typical
computer processor ticks along at a fraction of its potential. Software
is run sporadically, with the processor only troubled during rare,
intensive tasks. Multiply this by the multitude of computers sitting
under office desks, in server farms and across the world’s millions of
businesses, and the picture of wasted resource is scandalous.
