Qube (cable Television)
Qube (stylized QUBE) was an experimental two-way, multi-programmed cable television system that played a significant role in the history of American interactive television. It was launched in Columbus, Ohio, on 1 December 1977. Highly publicized as a revolutionary advancement, the Qube experiment introduced viewers to several concepts that became central to the future development of TV technology: pay-per-view programs, special-interest cable television networks, and interactive services. It went defunct in 1984. History A closed-circuit television system at the Hotel New Otani Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan inspired Steve Ross, Chairman of Warner Communications, to wonder what could be done to improve the performance of Warner's tiny cable television division. Ross was intrigued by the potential of delivering Warner Bros. movies directly to home subscribers. At the time, Warner Cable was a small division of Warner Communications, run by a former Western Union telecommunications executiv ...

Qubes OS
Qubes OS is a security-focused operating system, security-focused desktop Linux distribution that aims to provide computer security, security through isolation. Virtualization is performed by Xen, and user environments can be based on (with official support) Fedora (operating system), Fedora or Debian, or (with community support "these templates may be somewhat less stable, since the Qubes developers do not test them") Whonix, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, CentOS, or Gentoo Linux, Gentoo among other operating systems; e.g. Qubes Windows Tools support Microsoft Windows 7 and later. Systems like Qubes are referred to in academia as ''Converged Multi-Level Secure (MLS) Systems''. Other proposals of similar systems have surfaced and SecureView is a commercial competitor, however Qubes OS is the only system of the kind actively being developed under a free and open-source software (FOSS) license. Security goals Qubes implements a ''Security by Isolation'' approach. The assumption is that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mark Orr, one of the Cobalt Networks' CEOs, came up with the cobalt color. The green LED in the front was Bill Scott's idea. The 2700 was not a development version number but came from the atomic number of cobalt, 27. The Qube 2700 used the RM5230 microprocessor. The next product was called the Qube 2800 before being sold. But, released in 2000, was eventually called the Qube 2, leaving the ''2800'' to designate the syste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
OpenQwaq
OpenQwaq is open source computer software for immersive collaboration, which enables organizations to implement online 3D virtual world workspaces for their specific needs. OpenQwaq is based on the Teleplace technology, a conferencing platform that has been in the market since 2007, with the name Qwaq Forums until 2009. History Both OpenQwaq and Teleplace are based on the Squeak open source implementation of Smalltalk and the Croquet Project. The main developers of this family of technologies include Alan Kay, David Smith, Andreas Raab and David Reed, whose 1978 doctoral thesis on naming and synchronizations in a decentralized computer system introduced many of the main concepts. Teleplace virtual workspaces were used by companies, universities, organizations and U.S. government agencies, such as the Air Force, Army, Navy and Department of Veterans Affairs for training and collaboration, have applications to telepresence based e-learning, and have been used for popular interac ...
