Linux - out-of-memory (L-OOM)

Linux - out-of-memory (L-OOM) Whilst researching on mobile phones using Linux OS I came across a report on guidelines for creating robust embedded systems (published in 2009). The report's discussion arrived at the topic out-of-memory (OOM) and perceived flaws with Linux overbooking the kernel. The report calls this 'OOM Killer' The report noted:"One Linux detractor says this about the

Google says PC will be irrelevant in 3 yearsInteresting article in The Register:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/05/google_says_pc_will_be_irrelevant_in_three_years/I can see where Google is coming from because I have similar thoughts about how mobile phones and SIM/USIM cards, as devices, are making significant inroads to provide functions and features traditionally provided by computers.

Mobile Phone is not a 'Closed Container'

Mobile Phone is not a 'Closed Container'.

The ruling also refers to the "unique nature of cell phones"...A

3G Dongle CSA sample measurements

3G Dongle CSA sample measurements.Since the UK MTEB Mobile Forensics Conference 2009 is being held in Dorking, a short drive from Box Hill Point (an area of outstanding natural beauty that is situated in the National Trust Park) I thought I would go out and conduct some 3G radio test measurements. I was interested to comprehend, given the terrain and forest area, the quality and type of coverage

Obama mobile phone aid programme

Obama mobile phone aid programme..Nicknamed "Obama phones" (after the President of the United States) it would appear that a US initiative to provide free mobile phones in an aid programme to benefit those who are determined to have income-eligibility status.
