Wireless network video camera from Linksys Wireless network video camera from Linksys. New wireless network video camera from Linksys which is basically a surveillance camera which can connect to a local area network over 802.11b and stream its video feed to any Internet-connected Web browser anywhere. There are already on few of these on the market from D-Link, Panasonic, Toshiba, and others. The Linksys Wireless-B Internet Video Camera is about the same, but does have a couple of nice extra features, like a Security Mode that will email you whenever it detects motion, so you can be alerted to when to tune into the video stream.

The more I talk with "real people working in real companies" (meaning: not nerds spending their whole days hacking), the more convinced I am that a news aggregator is the ideal center for any Intranet. The basic idea is merge to the same server contents coming from: internal sources (accounting, trouble ticketing, exiting document management applications, other data bases: we should be able to get a feed from any internal app) k-logs (every member of the group has one) external news sources (general news, weblogs, specialized sources, scraped pages) The output of the aggregator should be both html that people can browser with their browser and more feeds which could end up in personal aggregators or funneled in other applications. Centralized aggregators should not necessarily mean that every user has to read all feeds. There should be both the kind of personalization allowed by personal aggregators (deciding which feeds to subscribe to) but also added vaue services that would allow users to discover additional sources of information and anyway give different relevance to different kind of information snippets that are displayed on the page.
