Romano Rice Paper - 05


cmwhitleyApr 4, 11:03 PMI don't know when the real release date will be for iPhone 5, but I don't think Apple wants people to know the real date. If people think September, more people will buy the iPhone 4 now. Misinformation should be likely for the next few months as they try to get people to buy phones now as they need them.

And as much as I love Apple, this is the thing that annoys me. Is it a good business model? I suppose. But some of the other companies announce their product offerings months in advance (albeit without release dates or prices), just so their customers (and developers) know what's coming. Apple plays everything so close to the vest that customers (like us) are left to speculate on when (or if) a new iPhone will be released, with no official information--no hints, tips, etc.--to point us in the right direction.

Oh, well.

Natural Material Wall Paper


eah2119Feb 6, 11:38 AMAbout 18 months ago, I switched to Mac mainly because of visits to the retail Apple store as well as the online one. I guess I was just persuaded. I was upset with Windows because of everything about it (it wouldn't let me update at all, I get an error message every 5 minutes, takes 5 minutes to start up and 30 seconds to open an application, some apps stop working). After I did switch I felt ecstatic. Truthfully, they just work.
I'm not a developer or an advanced Mac user, but there are a few smudges in Mac OS X that needed to be cleaned. Just a few minor details.

Grid stacks need smaller icons or at least adjustable. When fanning out they seem a little choppy (slow frame rate).
With the smaller and smaller screens like the 11 inch mba, the right side of the menu bar should be changed to allow more icons to be visible without eliminating them. idk how though.
I never use dashboard. I think because it's just not easy to use. For example, the calculator on dashboard has way less features then the calculator app. The translator widget doesn't work the same as google translate. Dictionary widget isn't as good as dictionary app. The clock is useless. So change the dashboard some how.
I've heard complaints about spotlight. I guess that could use a refresh.
I've had troubles with subscripts and superscripts. Is it possible to get a simple keyboard shortcut to get any character as a sub/superscript when typing into anything. I understand there is this for iWork but I want this available in any app.
I want to be able to work easily between Windows and Mac file systems easily, read, write and all that, between wireless networks anyway.

Triple Net Wallpaper, Paper,


lordonuthinSep 2, 04:55 PMNow that I got my Quad fixed(it's only been running as a dual 2.5). I'm thinking of selling it and building a i7 computer with at least one or two GTX295 or 480. Haven't decided on which one I really want to set up first.

I did notice that it seems like F@H is only using one core. It's utilizing 100% though on one core then switches to another. Anyway to get all 4 cores fully running? Maybe I'll just use the G5 a bit longer if it can bring out some good numbers.

On the G5 you will have to run a folding client for each core/cpu. Otherwise on Intel chips if you set the -smp flag in the smp client that should make all cores work on the unit.

PeaceNov 9, 11:24 PMI have this gut feeling Apple is holding back on features not implemented yet on purpose.Just like they held back on OS X running on Intel.

If Apple were to release some of those "secret" features to developers now Microsoft would have it too and possibly add similar features at the last minute.
I also believe Apple and Microsoft are working together on some stuff.

Vista Jan 30th
Leopard shown at MWSF and released in March.

Rosetta won't be visible on Intel machines in March.




Kitchen Wallpaper paper


nanofrogApr 19, 05:49 PMFrom what I've seen, there isn't much of a benefit to "enterprise" hard drives within the same family, that is to say a Consumer SATA 3 TB 7200 rpm vs a Enterprise SATA 3 TB 7200 rpm. Google's study shows they use "consumer" grade, and numerous studies have shown that there is no significant difference in failure rate.
I realize where you're coming from.

Disks nowadays are definitely made from the same primary components (enterprise models used to provide different mechanicals, such as spindle motors and servos). But there are some differences (whether they matter or not is debatable, such as "cherry picked platters" and additional sensors), but as you mention, the firmware is significant in some cases (definitely with hardware RAID cards).

If running a Linux box and using ZFS, consumer disks could be used. But I've seen too many failures lately, particularly of consumer grade disks (Seagate and Hitachi in particular), so I'm hesitant to trust them for high duty cycle requirements (definitely agree that stated specifications aren't what happens in the real world, such as ~31% failure rates with Seagate 7200.12's just off of newegg's user reviews <qualified them by actual failure rates I could determine from the reviews, just presume the 1 or 2 egg ratings = failures, as some got 5 stars due to newegg's return policy>). I even take the time to surface scan disks when possible out of the bag, and find that the enterprise models don't exhibit as many bad sectors in general (can lend one to think the "cherry picked" platters do have a positive influence).

I'm not convinced of the previous heat arguments (sudden death; but in general with electronics, heat over time tends to have a negative effect on overall lifespan). As per vibration, I'm a bit torn (multiple arrays in the same enclosure and no rubber dampening, I'm concerned that the vibration could be a problem on the newer disk types as the platter densities are high and the heads ride closer to the surface than past disk designs - I did note that the articles have some age to them, and don't reflect disks made in the last few years; article is 4 years old).

The OP indicated that he has a Mac Pro he can use, if thats the case then go DAS by all means, Linux will be a compromise...
Then you're talking about a RAID card, enclosures, and enterprise disks (need them for the recovery time settings), where the disks alone would eat the majority of the budget ($8100 of it). That would leave $1900 for card/s and enclosures (SAS expander for backup disks and 1:1 port/disk ratio for the primary pool would likely be more cost effective).

Linux is a compromise, but based on the stated budget, it seems to be the way to go.




mothers day wall paper


wizardDec 2, 02:31 PMWhat bothers me about this is that we now seem to have a huge number of professors and other self promoting (people) running around scaring people for what appears to be a number of odd reasons. This is about as real of a concern as the people making all the noise about global warming. Sure there are issues here, but it really looks like the efforts of people associated with theses scares are more about self promotion and self enrichment than anything else.

Not a nice thing to say, but when you understand that some of the people involved in the global warming debate where a few years ago involved in the coming ice age debate you have to wonder about sincerity. I mean really what is the big deal here that a public announcement was need. Was it an issue of radio frequencies being trackable, something we have all known about for years, or the fact that the transmission was coded for identification?

The point is if you have anything on you body that transmits radio energy you can be tracked. No surprise there. I'm also suspicious about their software, the unwillingness to publish said software may indicate that this is a elaborate dog and pony show.

In the end I just think it is sad that people in the higher education systems of this country have nothing better to do than to scare people. You would think with all the long term economic issues we have they could find a little time to develop technologies that will push the economy forward. Instead energy is focused on items that go down the drain in a few months time.

This is a prototype do-it all gadget, including a cell phone, music player, etc. by Synaptics, the company that provides the clic-wheel technology for the Apple iPod.

It includes sensing technology (touchless ipod?) and it seems to resemble some aspects of the apple patent drawings shown over the internet.

gigantenMar 28, 01:22 AMDoes it have the new 65 nm chipset?
On temaxbox forum they say it is same parts as in the old units.
From IGN Article:

The new "Elite" console contains the same parts, processors and chips as the Core and Pro units, and is the same dimensions, only it's got an HDMI port on its back-side (in addition to the standard RGB port) and comes with a 120GB hard disc drive (HDD), cables and headset, all in black.
http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=516104

And is the hdmi alone worth to upgrade to the elite from the premium? You can get the 120Gb hdd as a stand-alone accessory.

And Sony responds: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13112/Sony-Responds-to-Xbox-360-Elite-Announcement/




Bamboo Wall Paper (GF W-002)


shaminoNov 17, 09:15 AMFirst off, this looks very much like core technology, not a product description.

The concept of overlays is a natural follow-on to any kind of multi-touch technology. It makes sense.

If you're doing audio recording (for instance), a bunch of virtual on-screen sliders that can be manipulated simultaneously using multiple-touches on a trackpad-like surface is an important feature. But if you can't look down and know what sliders your fingers are on, it will be too confusing to work well.

Obviously, this problem can be solved with a simple painted-sheet overlay. Then you can see the sliders. But one solution begs another. Why not have mechanical sliders as well? This will make it the same as what audio people are used to working with now, but (presumably) an overlay will cost less than a standalone USB-based mixing console, since you only need the mechanics, not the electronics.

The rest of the patent clearly looks like the results of a brainstorming session. "Now that we've established the concept of mechanical overlays, what else could you conceivably overlay."

In terms of actual products, I can only think of two items likely to someday make it into products.

The first is the iPod control. Replace the click-wheel part with a pad. This is thinner and possibly cheaper than existing click-wheels. An overlay (hopefully not optional) can provide the tactile feedback necessary to make the whole deal work. Given that Apple is now selling games for iPods, a gaming overlay (say, with two plus-pads and select/start buttongs) would be a logical add-on.

The second would be a way to cut costs for laptops. Instead of a keyboard and a trackpad, make the entire upper surface a single multi-touch pad. Then bundle a keyboard overlay. This may be able to cut costs somewhat, and it has the potential to make the laptop spill-proof (it's easier to seal a touchpad than a keyboard.).

The possibility of alternate overlays to replace the keyboard seems pretty unlikely to me, but we might see stuff to overlay the lower-half of this surface (which would, by default, be configured to work like existing trackpads.) I'd expect any replacement laptop overlays to come from third parties not from Apple.

And no, I can't imagine anyone traveling with a bunch of overlays. More likely that the overlays would remain at the location where the apps are typically run.

For instance, if I work in a recording studio, I'd leave the mixer-board overlay in the studio, to use when I'm there doing recording. I probably wouldn't be doing much mixing on the subway.

Romano Rice Paper - 08


ThunderhawksApr 11, 04:04 PMThis 3D tech is not as cool as it looks in these videos. Both your eyes receive the same image, so your brain knows its not 3D. Nothing will look like its "popping" out of your screen at you.

I like this better than the 3D requiring glasses. As somebody else clarified 3D is being able to see all three dimensions.

Let's hope that if they do it, there is an option to switch it on or off

Thinking about battery life.

PruneTracyOct 15, 01:15 PMi would RATHER row for Dartmouth than be caught dead any where near the rusted gates of Princeton, myes... As a resident student at the fine university of San Francisco State, I must say that the idea of Princeton getting good publicity is highly dubious... indubitably...
seriously people, does it matter where we go to school? does it say anything about us? well, yes, it does i suppose, but anyone so self centered or insecure that they need to project their own self worth off of that where they study is a very unfortunate person...
sorry for the rant, g5 powerbooks and iphones tuesday.

Lord BodakNov 2, 08:25 PMGoing in as an MVNO on Cingular's network would be a disaster. First off, as an MVNO they're probably doomed to fail (ESPN Mobile anyone?). People aren't going to change providers for a specific phone, ESPECIALLY when they'll be able to find an unlocked one on eBay and stay with Cingular or T-Mobile (or any of the other GSM carriers in the world).

Small White CarApr 11, 03:58 PMWhen you are looking at 3D with glasses, the image protrudes from the screen. When you are looking at 3D without glasses, the image should protrude from the screen.

Since there's no protrusion, a misnomer.

3D - Meaning the illusion of width, height, and depth.

This has all 3 of those.

Who says the screen has to be at the back of the depth instead of the front? I mean, clearly you do, but why?

Both kinds of 3D imaging have an illusion of depth. Why does the direction of that depth matter?

I saw Tangled in the theaer in 3D. About 10% of the effects 'popped out' at me. The other 90% of the effects seemed to be behind the screen. Did Disney consider Tangled a "10% 3D movie?" I doubt it.

MacHamster68Apr 12, 09:15 AMGang rape

sorry?

i did only want to point out a tiny thing and that was , only because it is stated in the bible that its alright to rape a women if you marry her after and pay her father some money it might still be against the law in some countries

it might be part of the culture and religious believe of some christians , but in the UK and some other countries it is still against the law ..and most accept that law..

and if muslims have read the bible , i guess i know why they want to protect their women
we should make them understand that most of us do not live according the bible even if we are christians
and some christians should read the qu'ran too
same for the other religions out there , and then whoever reads what should get told how that is handled in reality ,that would i guess make life a bit easier among us humans
