Facebook Chat Taps XMPP to Connect with AIM

February 11th, 2010 | No Comments

Leveraging the same Jabber/XMPP protocol behind such services as Google Wave and Cisco WebEx Connect IM, Facebook’s Chat application now works with outside instant messaging applications such as AOL Instant Messenger.

This affords users the flexibility of taking Facebook Chat contacts they might not have on AIM or other IM clients and port them to those legacy clients rather than create new and separate buddy lists.

Chip Shot: “Light Peak” to Connect Consumer Devices at Record Speed

September 23rd, 2009 | No Comments

At IDF, Dadi Perlmutter demonstrated a high-speed optical cable technology available next year that will connect mainstream electronic devices like laptops, HD displays, televisions, cameras, video players, iPods, docking stations and Solid State Drives (SSDs) to each other using optical fiber, rather than copper wires. Developed by Intel and codenamed “Light Peak,” this proposed technology paves the way for a new generation of extreme computer input and output (I/O) performance, delivering 10Gb/s of bandwidth, with the potential ability to scale to 100Gbs over the next decade.
