  1. 64-bit Gaming by Anonymous+Custard · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Why Doesn't the Itanium Get the Respect It's Due?

    Because for Itanium compatibility they'd have to port everything over to the Itanium proprietary instruction set. You can see how eager they've been to do that for Macs, so guess how likely they are to port it for Itanium.

    The Mitsubishi site doesn't appear to have any real content on it about this product, but here's another review:

  5. Just as Yahoo! mail. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button

    They first sell you the idea of a "FREE FOR ALL" webmail. Then they start removing POP3 access, SMTP access, and what you get? Animated Flash banners while you're reading your mail.

    And no, I don't care how the heck that freaking Dew tastes! I don't have it in my country dammit!

    Well if these guys at Tivo start crippling their software, then I guess I'll make MY OWN. Or if I'm a cheapstake, then I'd go for the analog version.

    (Stupid government regulations... *mumbles*)

  6. Re:No more archos for me by Chuckaluphagus · · Score: 1 · on 5.5 oz. MPEG-4/Audio Portable From Archos
    I've actually had good luck with my Archos Jukebox. I have the Version 2 Jukebox Recorder, bought from Amazon this past January with a $50 rebate, so the price in the end was only $150 US for a 20 GB MP3 player with USB 2.0. The Jukebox is reasonably durably built (it's survived a few falls and I accidentally flung it the length of my office once), the audio quality is fine and the USB transfer speeds are good, making it an extremely useful portable backup. Also, there is no requirement for song management software to be installed on the computer used for connection - any files dropped anywhere on the Jukebox's hard drive are accessible through the player's software. I feel this is a major advantage over the mandatory use of song management software with the iPod and a number of other MP3 players.

    And while Apple certainly gets the design perfect for the iPod (sadly, my Archos Jukebox V2 is admittedly homely), the build quality is another thing entirely: Apple does not have a good track record with build quality on the iPods (see hereand here, for instance).

    I'm consistently seeing good reviews for Archos' new products (Laptop Magazine gave the AV420, a portable PVR/video player, 4.5 out of 5 stars in their latest issue, for one) , and the Gmini 400 itself was very favorably reviewed in a recent Cnet review. I may have to get one for myself, actually.

    magine a world where microscopic biomechanical devices are used to cure diseases, control our computers, and power the vehicles we drive. In this brave new world, minuscule techno-agents would have incredible computational power--power that is completely imperceptible to the human eye. Devices like these could become commonplace over the next fifty years as new innovations in molecular engineering--also known as nanotechnology--may help establish a new molecular age.
