Some system utilities do a variety of things well. They come with tools to give users lots of solutions in one package. Other system apps like the Atol File Manager perform a dedicated function flawlessly without adding other specialties. Atol took a while to grow on me, but now this app is one of my most-used Linux tools.

A new industry group hopes to improve the design and construction of data centers through the application of open source principles. Dubbed the Open Source Data Center Initiative, the group was formed last week by GreenM3 along with the University of Missouri and ARG Investments.

With its $99 price, the new Android-based Motorola Backflip clearly stands apart from Apple's iPhone on more than just appearance. Both are smartphones, to be sure, and both are offered through ATT. They also provide many of the same features and functionality. However, they likely occupy very different positions in ATT's strategy.
