    I'm not a MS fanboy. I'm more of a linux/Mac fanboy, I should hate Microsoft. I don't like...how they throw much money at getting their consoles popular (celebrities on the XB 360 revealing special on MTV).

    Yeah, I know where what you meen. Using celebrites to sell your products is the worse

    It's just so lame
    when compaines do that

    These lame celebrity ads/giveaways/endorsements have got to stop!

  2. Hmm... by TheSpoom · · Score: 4, Informative · on What Makes a Good IM Client?

    Sounds like you're looking for Trillian with the Jabber plugin (and some instructions) to be able to connect to all three.

    Anyway, I abandoned having more than one IM client installed a while ago. ICQ, for example, has always taken up gobs of RAM, and was one of the main reasons I wanted to consolidate a few years ago. I used to use Gaim, which is a good open source client that can connect to most networks (including Jabber, so it'll work with Google Talk). For whatever reason though, it kept crashing on me whenever I'd send a file, so now I'm using Trillian (Pro), which has worked very well for me. (Much better than the 1.x version I tried several years ago, if anyone hasn't tried it in a while.)

    As for the networks themselves, I have contacts on the major four (ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo) and really, the features of each aren't that different when they're all in the same client; it's all mostly small things. ICQ doesn't have the thing that shows when you're typing, for example. But for me, if they can do text chat well and can send files, they're fine for my usage.

  3. Review by Mr_Silver · · Score: 4, Interesting · on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces
    This guy ran it and seems to think it's just a vb wrapper to the PearPC application. To quote:
    I immediately was suspicious of the software when I noticed it was installing various OCX files and other Visual Basic dependencies, and upon inspection of the software's installation directory, it functions as follows: There's an EXE file called MainCherryOS.exe, which is the VB App they're using as a 'wrapper' to give their PearPC 'booty', if you will (joke), a Virtual PC-like feel. Normally, PearPC needs to be compiled and run from the command-line. Their wrapper then takes the output from PearPC and displays it as if it were actually being generated by MainCherryOS.exe! A creative solution, but I'm not impressed.
    Very interesting.

    Not sure if it's the same one - but there does seem to be some sort of "mezzanine board" (whatever that means ;)) inside the Mac mini.

    Maybe this will help you: Disassembly Documentation for the Mac mini.

    You're absolutely right. You have to download the movie that shows it, as found on the website.
