- New MacBooks Have Faulty NVIDIA GPU, RAM Issues? - While most of
the complaints
about the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros have focused on things like the
screen or the absence of a certain much-loved port, it appears that another
problem has been bugging some folks that went ahead and maxed out the RAM on
their shiny new laptop. Apparently, loading 4GB of RAM (either from Apple or
a third party) has caused at least a few MacBooks and MacBook Pros to freeze
up randomly which, for the time being at least, can only be remedied by
dialing things back to 2GB or 3GB of RAM (something tested by jkOnTheRun).
While Apple isn't saying anything publicly about this just yet, one member
of the Apple support forum claims to have heard from an Apple engineer who
says that Apple is, in fact, aware of the problem and that a software update
is on the way to fix it, possibly within a few days.
- HP Wipes Hard Drive To Fix Broken Keyboard -
What happens when you have a stuck 'P' key on you HP laptop? Send it in
for warranty work and get a free hard drive wipe while you are at it. Ouch!
- Microsoft fixes 28 flaws; 6 are critical -
The 'critical'
bulletins affect Windows GDI, Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and Windows
Search. The "important" updates affect SharePoint and Windows Media
Components.
- Google Chrome 1.0.154.36 -
Google Chrome (download)
is properly the first Google product that has come out of beta this fast.
Yesterday Google announced that there web browser “Google Chrome” has gone
into version 1.0.
- Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 -
Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 (download)
is now available for download, and brings quite a lot of new features with
it.
- Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 1 -
There are over 750 changes in
this release, many laying the groundwork for future changes. Some
notable changes include: User Experience Improvements, Tabbed Email, Email
messages, folders, and calendars (with the Lightning extension installed)
can be opened in tabs, Improved Message Reader Viewer and more.
- DAEMON Tools Lite 4.30.2 -
Daemon Tools (download)
is an application for multiprotection emulation. It is further development
of Generic Safedisc emulator and incorporates all its features. This program
allows running backup copies of SafeDisc, Securom, or Laserlock protected
games. Also included is a Virtual DVDROM drive enabling you to use your CD
images as if they were already burned to CD.
- Windows 7 Multi-touch App for Media Transfer (video) - Looks like
Microsoft has
decided to add in some features from its surface technology into the new
OS. Software maker PQ-DVD (they make iPod video conversion software) have
worked together with Microsoft, and come out with this new interface that
allows you to simply place the device on the computer surface and
multi-touch that data to its home. Who needs a mouse or keyboard when you've
got hands? It's probably not faster than using a keyboard/mouse. It looks
like it takes a lot of movement to perform certain tasks that ordinarily
just took a slight jerk of the arm maneuvering the mouse and a few clicks.
Still, this looks cool.
- YouTube Greeting Cards - YouTube is doing the
holiday greeting
card video thing again this year. My question is this...with all the
malware, virus and worms out there, does anyone you know actually click a
link to a video anymore? I don't open any greeting card emails since 1996
:-)
- Google Android Ported and Running on HTC Touch Smartphone - If
you are not satisfied with the T-Mobile G1 but would still like to enjoy the
Google Android smartphone platform, it seems that you have a few more
options. In fact, here's a video of an
old HTC Touch
running on Android. That's pretty cool and, by implication, it could
almost mean that nearly any HTC Windows Mobile smartphone can be swapped out
for some Google-y goodness.
- Gravity Balans is the first gravity defying chair - It offers the
ultimate in comfort and relaxation, placing ones feet above the heart in the
fully reclined position.
It's like
getting very close to zero gravity
- Glow Graffiti - Paint With Light - With the
Glow Graffiti powered with UV light you can write, stencil and draw rude
pictures to create your very own glowing light show. Don't expect to find
out where and when its available yet, but at least plan out your targets
from now on :P

favorite kind of model.

last 10 comments: | Sabot | (09:21 PM CET - Dec,13 2008 ) | I watched the terminaly ill American with MN disease commit suicide. I must say it was incredibly moving and done with utmost dignity by dignitas.
I myself watched my own mother die in front of me -at home- with cancer. She never regained conciousness and suffered the most horrendous pain and suffering.
If you have ever been in those shoes, then you will understand why he did it and the amount of research he and his wife/family had undertaken prior to taking his own life.
One comment he made, which is soooo true. "We play god with premature babies -who by all intents and purposes should die as nature intended, but when someone who is going to die, painfully, due to a terminal illness and requests to be put out their pain and suffering. They (doctors) act like hypocrites and say we can't do that. Yet dogs and animals are put down humanely to stop their suffering :roll: |
|
| Genoism | (05:07 AM CET - Dec,14 2008 ) | we aren't playing with premature babies, learn what we are 'playing' with before u say something like that.
Go ahead and tell a dying kid that, there could of been hope for him if we were allowed to 'play' with cells....but some halfwit who thought that cells and human beings are the same decided it was better for humanity to continue suffering.
If playing god with cells is wrong, then eating any type of food, hurting any cell is wrong and should be outlawed. Because in the end its all alive. |
|
| Sabot | (03:00 PM CET - Dec,14 2008 ) | Genoism, i don't expect much back by way of a sensible reply -which is what i expected.
Most of the human race will never be in Craig's position (the MN sufferer) nor will they have a parent or husband that dies very young. It's wondeful sitting behind a keyboard, life hunky dory, good job, lot's of money and everything (in your eyes) perfect. The typical selfish human being, whilst next door or a couple of doors down someone dies, and it's the cursory 'wow, that was unexpected'. 10mins later forgot about.
No clue to the pain or suffering they went through, not any care more to the point! Everyone loves sticking their nose in and saying it's moraly wrong.
When it's your 'turn' (god forbid) expect the same back.
To reiterate:
Premature babies should die, as do ALL animals in the world if that's what should be.
Terminaly ill people should also die and not be kept artificialy alive, or to suffer the most sickening pain imaginable, if that is their wish.
who the hell is playing 'god' to allow someone to be in pain whilst they die of an illness or disease that ravages their body? The idiots that play god at one end -with premature babies- have NO right to dictate the way someone should die in pain!!
Works both ways and you have not been there to dictate to me, clearly!
Mixing a conversation with a stupid anology of plant cells is clearly how out of touch you are with the subject.... |
|
| spidey | (09:56 PM CET - Dec,14 2008 ) | The right to life must include the right to decide if to end it or it is not a right at all.
As for prematurely born babies, the extraordinary measures that go into the care for them are for the parents. It is my conviction that until a fetus is able sustain life on its own, it is not a separate life from its mother. |
