Cancer-treating cyberknife to be launched today
from the IV MB, by yyy60.
>>With just two hospitals in the country -- Health Care Global (HCG), Bangalore, and Apollo Hospitals in Chennai -- procuring the high-end equipment, patients from several parts of the country are coming here for treatment. Hitherto, cancer patients would travel to the US for this treatment.
CyberKnife will be formally launched by former President A P J Abdul Kalam on Friday. "It has redefined cancer treatment and enhances the lifespan. The trauma, side effects of chemotherapy and resultant hair loss are reduced. The robot moves 360 degrees on the patient, blocks the normal tissues and treats only the tumour,'' Dr B S Ajai Kumar, radiation oncologist and chairman, HCG, told The Times of India.

Reserve Fund Holders May Get 99 Cents a Share
Equinix was involved with the Reserve Primary Fund. Good news:
>>Reserve Primary Fund and its independent trustees filed a court brief Friday, supporting the distribution of the money-market fund's remaining assets as soon as possible.
>>Reserve Primary Fund and its independent trustees filed a court brief Friday, supporting the distribution of the money-market fund's remaining assets as soon as possible.
The brief also said unpaid shareholders may receive slightly more than previously anticipated: Based on revised calculations and updated data, each unpaid shareholder may receive $0.9875 per share on a pro rata basis, and possibly as much as 99 cents per share. It had previously estimated that investors would receive $0.985 per share.
This is from Seeking Alpha conference call transcripts (1Q 2009):
>>One final note related to our cash balances. As was noted on previous calls, we placed some funds in the Reserve Primary Fund, the money market fund that [inaudible] in September of 2008. During the quarter the Reserve Fund announced their intent to maintain $3.5 billion of assets to settle their legal obligations and claims. As a result, we adjusted the net anticipated recovery to $0.917 per $1 of investment. Because of this decision the company recorded an additional loss of $2.7 million related to this asset.
High-speed trading goes off the Street - location, location, co-location
Marketplace talks about high speed trading, and explains it's all about location - location, location, co-location:
>>The high-frequency trader's building blocks are a lightning-fast computer and software that can buy shares by the bushel in the blink of an eye. There's one more key component: location.
>>The high-frequency trader's building blocks are a lightning-fast computer and software that can buy shares by the bushel in the blink of an eye. There's one more key component: location.
If you're in Greenwich, Conn., and you place an order to buy a stock, it could take a half-a-thousandth of a second for the order to reach an exchange. But if your computer is sitting in the same building with the exchanges' matching engines, the computers that put buyers and sellers together, your order gets to the exchange 50 times faster.
Today Vasant Dhar teaches trading strategies at New York University's Stern School of Business. But back when he was a high-frequency trader, he placed his computer at a co-location facility.
This is the Equinix's co-location facility. It's a squat cement warehouse the size of five football fields. And it's not on Wall Street. It's four miles west of Manhattan in Secaucus, N.J.
Exclusive: Internap CEO on what’s next for CDN
Telephonyonline.com has an interview with Internap's CEO, where he discusses strategy for the future. Next will be Internap’s $50-million data-center expansion - this time it's about CDN:
>>CEO Eric Cooney talks about Internap's $50M expansion and the strategy for reinventing its CDN
In January, Eric Cooney, the former chief executive officer of Tandberg TV (which was acquired by Ericsson in 2007) was named CEO of Internap (NASDAQ: INAP), a colocation and IP transit services provider. It was a turbulent time for Internap. Although the data center business was booming, the company had struggled to integrate the assets of VitalStream, the content delivery network (CDN) provider it had acquired in 2007, to the point at which, last fall, Internap took a $100-million goodwill write-down on the assets it acquired for $217 million. And this month, it wrote down another $57 million, essentially emptying its books of the acquisition. With that slate now clean, some analysts say Cooney can reboot Internap’s CDN business and reinvigorate its IP services business, whose sales were down 7% in the second quarter. In a report this summer on the CDN sector, Yankee Group senior analyst David Vorhaus said that for Internap, “The challenge now is not one of technology or vision…but rather one of overcoming the preconceived notions that longtime CDN customers have of Internap.” Cooney hopes to change those notions in part by launching a new CDN platform this year. And the company is embarking on a $50-million expansion, building and acquiring its own data centers, thus reducing its reliance on partner sites. Cooney spoke with Telephony’s Ed Gubbins this week about that expansion and about the strategy for reinventing Internap’s CDN.

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel: the Closest Thing to Real Racing
from gearlog.com:
Racing game enthusiasts, you'll be glad to hear that Logitech today announced the G27 Racing Wheel (which replaces the G25). It's a three-piece set that will have you convinced you're racing Indy in your own living room.
The G27 is built with a dual-motor force feedback mechanism that creates realistic force effects in the 11-inch hand-stitched leather wheel. You'll feel traction loss, weight shift, and the surface of the road as you race. The gears deliver a quiet steering action, almost eliminating noise and unwanted vibration.

telco density is the main differentiator for Equinix, no matter where we are.
an interview with Equinix’s president of Asia-Pacific, Samuel Lee, from The Jakarta Post:
>>Below are the excerpts of an interview between Equinix’s president of Asia-Pacific, Samuel Lee, and The Jakarta Post’s Mustaqim Adamrah, after the launch of Equinix’s second data center in Singapore recently.
>>Below are the excerpts of an interview between Equinix’s president of Asia-Pacific, Samuel Lee, and The Jakarta Post’s Mustaqim Adamrah, after the launch of Equinix’s second data center in Singapore recently.
Question: How do you see the market in the Asia-Pacific region and in the Southeast Asia region? How do you explain this in number?
Answer: Globally, I think in the US, if we’re talking about market size, it’s about maybe US$7 to $8 billion, and Asia Pacific maybe around $2 billion, something like that.
But it’s debatable because today all people can have a very different comprehension of how big the market size is.
But in general, the Asia-Pacific market size is around maybe a third to a half of the US size. But the growth here in Asia will be faster than the US because of the economic development.
For Southeast Asia, Singapore is an IT hub. So a lot of companies have a call center in the Philippines, their office in Indonesia. What they want to do is just pull the international telco connection and break that connection to Singapore and hook up in their IT systems in Singapore.
...
How will you maintain your business?
We will continue to endorse network service providers into our data center because as I mentioned, telco density is the main differentiator for Equinix, no matter where we are.
We’ll view our inventory ahead of the demand. So when we have costumers come to us and ask us for space, we have inventory to serve them. In some countries, we do have experience in going back.
