Dale Jr. completes NASCAR's perfect start
No shootout winner has gone on to win the Daytona 500 that season since Dale Jarrett did it in 2000. Also, let's not forget that Saturday's race featured only 23 cars for 70 laps. Among those not eligible for the race since they didn't win a pole last year or have never won this race were: Defending Daytona 500 champ Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Jeff Burton, among others. Still, Earnhardt's perforamce was impressive. So what did we learn from Saturday night? 1. These guys can drive these cars. No doubt these cars don't handle as well. It will be interseting to see what happens with a 43-car field but the worries about a chaotic race went unfulfilled. There was a four-car crash but you're going to have that in restrictor-plate race.
Camera with built-in GPS to be unveiled at PMA?
Well, that's what the folks over at the Geotate booth were talking about during the PMA Sneak Peek event held today at the Las Vegas Convention Center. According to them, the camera will be developed by a Taiwanese vendor and introduced under a branded camera name during PMA.
Geotate believes that its GPS geotagging solution can overcome common issues faced by other similar devices in the market today such as sluggish GPS response and power drain. This is achieved by separating the GPS data capture and processing. Once the shutter is pressed, the GPS data is stored in the memory and will only be processed when it is transferred to the PC and connected to Geotate's server.

Martin leads Devils past Hurricanes 6-1
White opened the scoring at 3:08 with a slap shot from the left point. After a stretch of 125 games without a goal, White has produced two in five games. The Devils, in a reversal of recent form, went up by two goals on Martin's power-play tally at 5:53. In each of the previous three games, New Jersey fell behind 2-0 and went 1-1-1 in that stretch. After Aucoin scored on a goal-mouth tip at 10:35, Oduya restored the Devils' two-goal advantage with a spectacular tally that capped an end-to-end rush. Picking up the puck behind his own net, Oduya went the length of the ice, eluding five defenders before beating Cam Ward between the pads at 15:47. It marked the first time the Devils scored three consecutive goals from defensemen since Dec. 31, 1991. Zubrus netted the Devils' second power-play goal of the period with 2:02 left to give New Jersey a 4-1 advantage.
Migrating to Flatter, All-IP Wireless Networks
To address consumer demands for better voice and data communications and more advanced services, wireless technology standards have evolved over the last decade from 1G systems to the currently deployed 3G systems. Despite the growth of carrier networks and the evolution of standards, voice and data communications have not evolved in synch. Carriers have historically added data communications as an afterthought to voice network architectures originally conceived in the circuit-switched era, resulting in complex hierarchical networks that support both voice and data. This type of architecture is expensive, leading to high operating and capital expenditures for service providers and significantly lowering margins in a highly competitive industry. In addition, networks employing cobbled-together voice and data communications systems simply do not have the capacity to provide the rich multimedia services and omnipresent Internet access that todays wireless customers demand.
