ZFS

Sun has a new file system that looks quite interesting, with 128-bits of addressible space. This is as large as a DHT ID, which means it may be possible to use ZFS for content-based storage and retrieval.

Nokia and Six Apart now have a 'lifeblog'. I like MindStream better. Note that their solution has only a one-way sync. No mention of the phone charges either...

I am not making this up! This fly-catching robot powers itself by digesting flies. Gross, but undeniably cool.
