The adapter, dubbed Somniloquy (meaning to talk in one&#8217;s sleep), consists of a gumstix running embedded Linux, 64MB of RAM and a 2G SD memory card, connected via USB. The adapter keeps the network connection going and the researchers have also developed a simplified IM client and bittorrent client that carry out more complicated tasks autonomously, only waking the computer if, for example, an actualy IM is received or a download is completed.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The world are changing and for the better.&nbsp; And what does this say about Microsoft&#8217;s own embedded OS?<\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/linux\" rel=\"tag\">linux<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/microsoft\" rel=\"tag\">microsoft<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/slashdot\" rel=\"tag\">slashdot<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/network\" rel=\"tag\">network<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/embedded\" rel=\"tag\">embedded<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just saw this on Slashdot and I quote: &#8220;Researchers at Microsoft and the University of California, San Diego have developed a network adapter that lets a computer enter sleep mode without disrupting the network connection.
