Our new book, Running Xen: A Hands-On Guide to the Art of Virtualization (Prentice Hall, April 2008), had a very nice review posted on Slashdot today!

Following this posting, by 11:59 PM our book’s sales rank on Amazon.com peaked at number 3 in the top 100 books sold in the “Operating Systems” category and number 747 in all books sold on Amazon.com, which was a significant increase from our previous best rank of number 6772 in all books sold on Amazon.com.

This was indeed a very pleasant surprise today! As always, to Him be all glory.

I was browsing the Internet this morning and came across a rather interesting article.  Apparently an eight year-old girl thought her Magnetix toy set looked like candy.

“On the front of the container is a large warning stating, ‘CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Toy contains a small bar. Not for children under 3 years.’ Another label on the container states, ‘CAUTION: Do not ingest or inhale magnets. Attraction of magnets in the body may cause serious injury and require immediate medical care.’”

Now, the family is seeking legal counsel to initiate a lawsuit against the toy manufacturer.  I recommend reading the complete article here:
