You can already install Chromium onto just about any computer out there, but that doesnât include single board computers, like the Raspberry Pi or C.H.I.P. While itâs still early in development, Chromium OS for All SBC seeks to fix that oversight.

For some reason, communications and power infrastructure fascinates me, especially the long-haul lines that move power and data over huge distances. Thereâs something about the scale of these projects that really gets to me, whether itâs a high-tension line marching across the countryside or a cell tower on some remote mountain peak. I recently wrote about infrastructure with a field guide that outlines some of the equipment you can spot on utility poles. But the poles and wires all have to end at the shore. Naturally we have to wonder about the history of the utilities you canât see â âŚread more

 Skyhook Wireless has been working on location technology for longer than many of the biggest names in smartphones have been around. Today it launched a new SDK aimed at bringing location to wearables in an extremely small code footprint. The challenge with wearables when it comes to location is that there isnât a lot of real estate inside them and thus they tend to have underpowered⌠Read More

 While many retired smartphones still work and have usable sensors like cameras, accelerometers, touch screens and bluetooth radios, large swaths of them remain unused or, worse yet, end up in landfills. The team at Phonvert created an open source software platform that can convert old smartphones into usable IoT (Internet of Things) nodes. Read More

Sure, you can already add storage to your Raspberry Pi, but it’s usually an exercise in trade-offs: SD cards don’t hold much data, and USB drives (even the portable ones) tend to be too big and power-hungry for a mini PC. WD doesn’t think you should have to compromise, though. It’s shipping a new PiDrive that stuffs 314GB into a slim design that won’t overwhelm the Pi’s power system, but is fast enough to make full use of the USB connection. It even has a special version of BerryBoot (a multi-operating system tool) to help you load your platform of choice and fill that abundant space with apps.
The PiDrive is relatively expensive. Its normal $45.81 (ÂŁ39.50) price is higher than that of the Raspberry Pi itself, and even a "limited-time" cut to $31.42 (ÂŁ27.09) may have you thinking carefully before pulling the trigger. If you have a media server or another Raspberry Pi project that simply can’t get by on a few dozen gigs, though, it might be worth shelling out a little extra.

Facebook and Google aren’t the best of friends, but they’re willing to make exceptions for the right causes: Google has joined Facebook’s Open Compute Project in a bid to improve data centers everywhere. It’s starting off by contributing a new server rack spec that both improves power handling and lets project members’ racks slip into Google computing farms. The move isn’t entirely surprising, even though it involves an arch-rival. Google is no stranger to building its own hardware — it’s just offering some of that know-how to the tech industry in hopes of getting some upgrades in return.
It’s not the only company making moves, either. Microsoft is contributing SONiC, or Software for Open Networking in the Cloud. The code should help companies build switches and other networking gear using open source, widely compatible technology. While you probably won’t see a lot of these collaborations first-hand, you might just notice the difference if your favorite cloud services run that much faster or supply you with more storage.
