IBM researchers have demonstrated a graphene circuit which integrates all circuit components onto a single wafer made of silicon carbide. Graphene is a mesh of carbon atoms that’s one atom thick. Integrating it monolithically — meaning in one unit — with other materials is a problem researchers have been grappling with since 2004, when the material’s properties were first demonstrated.

Mozy is one of the most popular cloud backup services around, with more than one million users storing around 70 petabytes of data. Its popularity apparently put it on the acquisition radar of VMware — which has now made Mozy part of its virtualization empire.
VMware’s official blog post makes it clear that the company wasn’t so much interested in Mozy as a consumer offering. Rather, it’s the inner workings of Mozy which piqued VMware’s curiosity. CTO Steve Herrod says, “Over the past 5 years, Mozy has built one of the best examples of a globally distributed, large-scale cloud offering.” He adds that the move will allow VMware to “further ramp our own cloud-related learning and accelerate new IP, scale, and capabilities” of its existing offerings.
Existing Mozy customers don’t need to worry, of course. VMware has pledged to continue running Mozy’s service without interruption.

Jaybird’s been pretty quiet about its latest Bluetooth offering. In fact, the company actually sneaked a few of its JF3 Freedom sports headphones into some stores back in April, but they quickly ran out of stock — we imagine it was either a test run or the product needed some tweaking. Regardless, we’ve just been informed that the JF3 will finally be available to all starting next week, with Jaybird’s online store currently taking pre-orders for $99 a pop (including free delivery), followed by wider availability at retail stores in late July. What’s more, these sweat-proof stereo buds are now enhanced with new blade-like silicon ear cushions — head past the break to watch Jaybird founder Judd Armstrong ecstatically shake his head to show off the secure fit.

Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed six years’ worth of Usenet posts, and you know what they discovered? Life ain’t fair. The most popular two percent of posters who started discussion threads hogged 50 percent of all replies, while everyone else struggled for attention. What made some thread-starters more attractive than others? Thankfully it wasn’t rampant flaming. The distinguishing trait was actually how factual they were: only 12 percent of posts by popular posters contained personal opinions or comments. However, posting a bit of news isn’t all it takes to win followers. In a related experiment, 200 volunteers were unleashed onto “simulated” discussion forums and their behavior revealed an even more important factor. The slightly flummoxed researchers called it a “preferential attachment”, which pulled readers towards posters who already had an excess of followers. In other words, life still ain’t fair. For a delightfully factual breakdown of the full results, check out the PR after the break.

It sounds like the latest developer preview for Mac OS X Lion will allow you to reboot into a Safari only mode (similar to how a Google ChromeBook is perpetually in Chrome-only mode), as part of the upcoming Find my Mac feature.

Bill Gates doesn’t give too many interviews, but the Daily Mail‘s Caroline Graham sure managed to get a lot out of him during their recent sitdown. Gates spent much of the time discussing his global health foundation, which, according to him, has become “full-time work for the rest of my life.” And, while he acknowledged that he’s still involved with Microsoft on a “part-time” basis, he reaffirmed that he has no desire to return to the throne. Does this mean he’s finally ready to lift his household’s notorious Apple embargo and allow his kids to own iPods? Not exactly:
“They have the Windows equivalent. They have a Zune music player, which is a great Windows portable player. They are not deprived children.”
Hear that? Bill’s kids aren’t in need! In fact, they even earn allowances and “do chores,” just like your kids. Sure, their pops may have billions of dollars stowed away under his mattress, but he says his offspring will only receive a “minuscule portion” of that fortune. Cue the violins.
