Some say rumours travel faster than light. While there is no actual way to prove this, the whole Apple community lives and thrives on them. It even seems to have found a way to actually harness the power of rumours to stay afloat. A now, following the recent appearance of the fabled iPhone 4G (entitled iPhone 3,1) the future versions of the OS have been spotted in the wild as well.

ZOTAC have announced a new ION ITX (more about ION ITX series here) motherboards from Synergy Edition. This motherboards just as previous in this series are capable to play full HD 1080p Blu-ray video thanks to NVIDIA® ION™ technology. ZOTAC ION ITX-E Series is powered by single-core Intel® Atom™ 230 while the ION ITX-G Series have the dual-core Intel® Atom™ 330 processor – both clocked at 1.6 GHz.

Take a massive dump!

Microsoft claims that Windows Vista is the most stable version of their OS yet... so stable that you may not ever see the dreaded BSOD (or Blue Screen of Death).  Some of the development staff may have been so nostalgic over their lost Blue Friend that they included a hidden way to raise it from the depths.

Before you begin thinking that this is an awesome trick to play on your co-workers (and it is), there actually is a legitimate use for this "feature".  Developers can use this trick to artificially create a memory dump for testing purposes.

By default, Firefox (or Swiftfox) crashes when trying to view a full-screen video on say... YouTube.

At least for me it used to crash until I found a fix and from what I've understand it's got something to do with the graphic card drivers and it's affecting both nVidia and ATI.

If that is the case for you also, you may want to read on.

 

 

If you have read the Technology section of today’s NY Times, or visited GE Reports or Engadget, you will see that we are off to a pretty exciting start to 2009 on the Holographic Storage project so far. Earlier in 2008, we had demonstrated the threshold recording behavior in the new materials we are developing and we ended 2008 having demonstrated these materials using 405 nm blue lasers (the same wavelength used in Blu-ray Disc players). Now in 2009, we have taken yet another big step.

You may be asking, “what is threshold recording behavior?” Well, it is a fancy way of saying that we are looking to develop a material that records data in a way that is similar to how other optical disc technologies (CD, DVD, or BD) record data. That is, when the optical drive is reading a disc, the laser power is turned down to relatively low levels. To record data the laser power inside the drive will be turned up to high power. This high power enables the laser to create changes in the recording layer of the disc. For example, a laser power of 1 mW might be used to read a CD or DVD, which is less than most laser pointers generate, but a laser power of 10 to 50 mW might be used to record. So to put it simply, threshold behavior refers to the low-power readout and high-power recording process. However, this is where the similarities between the previous generations of optical storage and holographic storage end. In CDs, DVDs, or BDs, the recording is done by making marks (or changes) in a thin recording layer in the disc. These marks are typically made by changing the reflectivity of the recording layer - think of it as making microscopic damage spots in a mirror. In the case of holographic storage, we are creating chemical changes in microscopic patterns that will generate higher reflectivity when read by a low power laser - this is a more complicated process and requires that we create a material in which the refractive index can be changed when exposed to high laser power.

Yes, as the suject says; we've start the work to get a stable kext for this wireless device, without any hazardous procedures between kismac or something else.

So stay in touch see how it ends.

Great News,

From now on, specially for those mac fanatics, but without a real mac, winsucks.org is going to support issues related with OSX86


This means a special forum for the X86 treads and also new free and or open software for this kind of Unix/BSD Darwin.

Stay tuned for more infos.
