When Nikolai Dedok, a prominent Belarusian protester and self-identified anarchist, was arrested last November, he was found with the help of advanced facial recognition technology used by the country’s security services.
The Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered Dedok’s whereabouts through the use of software called Kipod, according to an investigation by By Pol, a Telegram channel run by defected Belarusian law enforcement officials. He had been hiding in a safe house in the village of Sasnovy, but security officials tracked him down through a female acquaintance. Using cameras operating in the Minsk metro, which fed into the Kipod platform, officials surveilled the woman and found Dedok s hiding place.
The demand for Enterprise class SSDs is going to grow like topsy according to value-added distributor Zycko.
The outfit has just signed a partnership deal with Micron to provide its Client, Enterprise SATA and Enterprise PCIe SSD solutions to channel resellers.
David Galton-Fenzi, Zycko’s group sales director said that as the price of SSD drops and performance increases, the technology will take a leading role in data access and storage.
The SSD enterprise market has grown year-on-year and against this backdrop, Zycko has been looking for a manufacturer who can give it the products for its client list.
Meanwhile Micron wanted a partner to develop the enterprise market for its products. “In that sense the timing and nature of this partnership is perfect. There’s a gap in the market that Micron can fill with its cost-effective SSD solutions, known for their exceptional quality, low-latency and reliability,” said Galton-Fenzi.
With Pope Benedict announcing that he is cleaning out his desk and collecting his pink slip,
Channel Eye has come up with a list of those who it thinks will have the right stuff to be the next Pope. Now we know that one of the jobs of the Pope is to be Catholic, but given that the church is unlikely to survive another 100 years unless it liberals up a bit, we have given our nominations on the basis that if they can run an IT company they can probably look after the world’s largest religious organisation.

Column Intel has been many things. It has been a struggling startup, surfing the sudden successes and near-death experiences of 1970s Silicon Valley. It s been a relentless powerhouse, ruthlessly exploiting its dominance as personal computing rode Moore s Law to commercial and social revolution. Now it s in danger of seeing its supremacy crumble as rivals grab markets and mindshare with better manufacturing and marketing as Moore s Law itself turns to sand.
Chipzilla has also been gloriously unsuccessful. Mobile, graphics, wireless, display tech, optical, VLIW, RISC, a slew of memory and storage technologies – all have come and gone in the company s search to find a new world beyond full-fat x86.
