Google File System

Here’s a good read on the GFS (Google File System).

GFS (Google File System) is a distributed file system. A Distributed File System is one that supports sharing of files and resources, which are stored persistently over the network. GFS is implemented by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, and Shun-Tak Leung. When I read their original paper on this file system, all questions I asked above were answered respectively. This is what they had to say:

“While sharing many of the same goals as previous distributed .le systems, our design has been driven by observations of our application workloads and technological environment, both current and anticipated that reflect a marked departure from some earlier file system assumptions.

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

I just bought the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 last Sat at MidValley (RM220) and I love it. Its much better than the small keys on my old Asus laptop but the curves need some adjusting to. But at least its more natural and your fingers wont feel tired since its in a slant position. I’ll need to re-adjust the keys setting later to bring up commands like copy and paste later. Not sure how it works for now.

Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 has been expertly crafted to allow you to work in a more natural position. The new Gull Wing design features a 14-degree gable, a natural arc and a curved key bed – bringing the keys closer to your fingers to reduce reach and unnecessary motion, while encouraging a more natural typing position. It encourages better arm and wrist alignment for ultimate comfort.

Key Features

Interface :USB (keyboard)
Type :Keyboard

Connectivity :Cable

Other Features

Poor typing posture can wreak havoc on your wrists, but few people take the time to correct such hazardous habits. Enter Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. Although it took me a while to get used to the keyboard’s unconventional design, the results were worth the effort.

The 4000 attempts to correct your hand positioning in several ways. First, its keys are laid out in a curve similar to the shape of a seagull’s wings, with center keys that are proportionately oversize to compensate for how often you use them. Its gable design lets you position your forefingers higher than your little fingers, so your wrists adopt a more natural position. The keys on each side sit in a concave configuration, which helps you reduce repetitive motions.

As a touch typist, I initially found positioning my hands comfortably on this shipping unit difficult. But after about a day, I got accustomed to the way it felt. The well-padded palm rest made everything feel even more comfy.

There are keys for launching applications, a convenient zoom button, and an array of customizable buttons. While these extras enhance productivity, the unique ergonomic features are what distinguish this keyboard.
