  12. best size comparison! by linuxlover · · Score: 1 · on Sony Ericsson P800 Reviewed (Again)
    This is the best size comparison for P800 I have seen so far. Compared with a Wrigley's chewing gum.

    cnet review page
    just the image

    wish more review sites would do this, as opposed to specifying HxWxD in milli meters or inches.

  13. Evil Twins? by F.O.Dobbs · · Score: 2 · on Clawhammer to be 1/2 size of P4

    Is it me or is there a strong familial resemblance between Jerry Sanders and Colonel Sanders? Maybe the Colonel faked his own death to take over AMD? Think about it.

  14. IE 5.5 faster by Halcyon-X · · Score: 1 · on Netscape 6 Is Out (Really!)
    It might be different for Windows 2000 (I can't imagine it being that much different, though), but C|Net has posted benchmarks comparing Netscape 6, Netscape 4.7x, and IE 5.5.

    Click this link to see the benchmarks and this link for the entire page of that article.

    Clearly IE is faster, by a huge margin (surprising actually).

  16. You, Sir, are a retard. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Unisys Cracks The Whip
    I'm a bit surprised that the article on C|Net News.com didn't mention that the format used by many people to post graphics on web pages is NOT .GIF. There's a reason for this: .GIF files tend to download slowly compared to other graphics file types.

    When I see pictures and photographs posted on web sites, they're usually in JPEG format. After all, illustration programs and photo-editing programs can output to .JPG format, and nobody has patents on JPEG format, either.

    As for PNG graphics, the issue up till now is that older web browsers will not display them. Fortunately, Netscape Communicator 4.05 and later, Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, and the upcoming Opera 4.0 will display PNG graphics files with no problems.


    Ahh... where to begin! I guess at the beginning.
    1. HOW can a gif inherently take longer to download than a same-sized jpeg, or any other file for that matter? They are all just bits to the network.
    2. You see PHOTOGRAPHS in JPEG because JPEG was DESIGNED FOR PHOTOGRAPHS. If you make a text banner, a yellow on black image, you will most likely see errors and artifacts in the resulting image if you use JPEG. Not so with gif. Also, color is unpredictable in JPEG with a limited palette. What you want to be blue may end up violet.
    3. Plenty of sites use gifs. If you don't see them, you're blind. See this, this, this, this, or this, for just a few examples.
    4. Any program that can output a JPEG can output a gif. Except Gimp. But Photoshop can, and that's what counts (no, I'm not saying Gimp is in any way inferior, but AFAIAC, there are two graphics programs that matter: Gimp and Photoshop. As long as one of them supports it, everything is fine.).
    5. You're right on about old browser support.
