has just finished a series of speed tests from its readers. At least for today the homepage shows these tests. Looks like the DDR does have a speed advantage in some tests. Shows you that barefeets tests aren't conclusive after all. Intriguingly the Flat Panel iMac 800 Mhz is actually faster in these tests than the Powerbook G4 800 even though the G4 800 has an L3 cache the iMac does not. Just goes to show there are as many different ways to test speed as there are people out there testing, and no one way will yield a conclusive result.

Apple (and many others) will be taking a very close look at where 'broadcast' television and other video content meets the computer in the home and on the move. The video iPod is just the visible tip of this iceberg.
This is the area that will have the most legs in the medium to long-term and one where they can potentially carve out a lucrative space.
As to what form these products may take, I haven't the faintest clue. :p
The other thing where we can expect some movement is iTunes on phones and other mobile devices. Many people here (myself included) wouldn't want a phone with that functionality but recent research by Nokia shows that about 2/3rds of people do... this is the iPod's achilles heel in terms of future growth.

just go to the main site and download the preview again?
Anyone see why I don't post links to beta software now? :D
The final product should be ready shortly but those plug-in writers need to fix their software to work with the proper interface. They probably had to write workarounds to get everything to work with the broken interface tha Firefox has been using all this time.

While I am no insider, I get the feeling that Apple might be just waiting for their stock to reduce a little before releasing new PowerBooks.
PowerBook 667s have been shipping to fill backlog whereas 800s have been in stock for a while.
As I suggested, I am just speculating here but maybe they are waiting to sell more 800s and clear stock and then they will release.

I'm playing it! :D
I actually was in the original beta for Uru Live when it was still an Ubisoft project back in mid-to-late 2003. When I heard it was being resurrected (and ported to Intel Macs), I got very excited, and actually got into the new beta as well. I'm enjoying it quite a lot, it's definitely quite cool for a Myst fan to be able to wander the caverns of D'ni, and the user community is very passionate (to the point of framing most discussions within public areas of the game as "in cavern," or role-playing as if the experience is real) and helpful (there are always people willing to help with the couple group puzzles or give you hints/assistance if you're stuck).

This is a nice update. I was hoping for a Flash 8, but I guess that was hoping for too much. :o At least it supports 7, fp6 would have blown.
I've been using my Wii to check a current site I'm working on, since it's the only web device I have that doesn't have Flash 9 installed, it has been good for testing.

Until the 10.4.6 update you could use InCrease on Intel Macs and set that up to fold using both cores. I guess you could always go back to 10.4.5 and run that! It'll be really slow on an Intel Mac, btw. My girlfriends 1.25Ghz G4 Mini will do a work unit in 3 - 5 days, and my Intel Core Solo takes about 30 days. Ridiculous.
I've since started using the BOINC client which is a UB, and doing SETI and Einstein@home, since both seem to run well on the Intel. No folding thingie for the BOINC client yet, though, I'm afraid.

That's a great idea and it would be nice to be able to customise the machine a little more than at present (might even make the machines for affordable to some and give the power boasts to those who want it). Shame I don't think it will happen.

We are kicking some serious folding butt these days. Four teams to pass on the horizon and three of them by February! Having some issues with my "farm" in Atlanta, but hopefully that will get sorted out as my compatriot gets things handled.
But all the good news doesn't mean we can slack off! Gotta keep those Knights away and regain a spot in the top 20...

I am sure I was not one of the only ones hoping apple would unveal soething today to celebrate their 30th anniversary today. I really hope they release the iphone and true video ipod... So how many of you think it will be 4-4-06 for the keynote???:confused:

Say they released it next year, then people would all think about buying it rather than the next version of Winblows. Windows on the shelf beside it will be 5 times the price, yet it will have next to no features improved over their current one.
I don't think that there would be a big problem with people not buying macs. I now have two macs and since I converted I have a PC. I would buy a copy of 10.2 for my PC but would not even think of buying another PC.

A while ago there was a thread in which many people suggested I get Oblivion for the PS3 when it comes out. I've never played it before, and the game is out... so should I get it? Convince me!
I've spent about 95% of my RPG life playing JRPGs, and I've never really cared for American ones. I did like a few, though.
So, let me hear some opinions and we'll see what I do. :P I might try to rent it somewhere and check it out or something first.
Let me say what I really care about in an RPG more than anything is a story with an intriguing plot that makes me want to keep playing to find out what happens.

I haven't played the cube version, but liked the 64 version. It is a bit easy...the story was pretty lame, but for some reason I liked it. It and SMRPG are just hitting buttons at the right time a lot....but still make it halfway fun somehow...but I could care less about the story and all that they try and put in.

CNN.com - Viruses catch up to the Mac (http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/04/30/apple.security.ap/index.html)
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Benjamin Daines was browsing the Web when he clicked on a series of links that promised pictures of an unreleased update to his computer's operating system.
Instead, a window opened on the screen and strange commands ran as if the machine was under the control of someone -- or something -- else.
I'm pretty sure this happened here, right? Yankeefan24? :p

Glad you didn't read it tomorrow!
Why not keep 'em connected? Minimal inter-WU folding downtime! ;) :D

ok you guys i've been researching this and i came across a post at onmac.net here's the link http://forum.onmac.net/archive/index.php/t-1532.html
for the lazy ones this is a posters response to a problem similar to ours:
"you need to edit the video.con file to set it to the res of your desktop change the file ext from Video.con to Video.txt then edit it and save it then change the file ext back to Video.con
I doubt its a DirectX error as that normally throws up a (dx blah blah error ) window but to make sure dl the latest dx9 if you want to bypass the WGA downloader look at http://www.uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/06/6859/
it lives in /Program Files/Electronic Arts/Battlefield2/mods/BF2/Settings/Profiles/Custom/Video.con
that path may not be exact as im doing it from memory but the file you need to edit is the Video.con file so you could just search for all your Video.con files and edit the resolution in there (def 800 600 32 0 ) mine is set to 1680 1050 32 0 as its on my 17" macbook.
you need to do the same if you want to play the BF 2142
~SIMPLE METHOD~
Right-click your Battlefield 2 desktop icon and click "Properties". Under the "Target field", add this: +szx 1280 +szy 800
This will force Battlefield 2's resolution into the resolution 13" MacBooks use.
Tell me if it works! (i cant test right now)
Good luck w/Battlefield 2!

Yes, 360 has rumble, but it also has 1080p, as does PS3's.
I'd go Xbox 360 for online
VT3 on the 360 supports native 1080p as well.

Yeah it looks like 360 online is the swinger. I'll go for that version I think.
