Thread convergence: Formula 1 and Jini

Regular readers will have noted that two of my greatest enthusiasms are for Formula 1 motor racing and Sun's Jini™ distributed computing technology. So one item in today's quarterly "customer wins" press release from Sun is particularly sweet:

"Magneti Marelli Holding (Italy) -- Sun designed, for Magneti Marelli Racing Department, a new system to manage telemetry data for Formula 1 teams in real time, using Java and Jini(TM)/Rio technology with the aim of achieving the required performance, to support multiple platforms, such as Linux and Windows, and to provide high availability and location transparency of components."

I don't think I'm supposed to identify individual teams, but every time you see a car with this logo, think Jini. MM logo
