Judging from the site, they just really seem to like Macs. Either that, or there were a few sitting around after they kitted out the lab that nobody was using, so they did an "intradepartmental relocation" under cover of night.
For some reason, this article is highly negative up until the last page when (surprise) the new Tomb Raider game is unveiled.
You can't combine a negative timeline article with a positive puff-piece article (written with no hands-on knowledge and probably a video and press release). 1UP seems to do this a lot.
We had singing trash bins at the local McDonalds' for quite some time. I remember them producing newspaper articles talking about how awesome it was that we lived in an age of singing trash bins.
The next day, I come in and saw that the trash bins weren't singing anymore; some smartass had clipped the speaker wire with a pair of pliers. My hat is off to him/her/it.
Personally, I'd make the garbage cans randomly scream in terror at passersby and defend themselves against attackers by means of an embedded stun-gun. Then again, I just like to see people get hurt.
From reading this article, SSE3 doesn't look like too much of an improvement. More registers are always good, I suppose. Compile-time "hinting" might be kind of interesting to do some optimization research into.
I do like that they are readying a dual-core chip; Intel's chips have always been really hot, particularly in an SMP rig.
Might be a coprocessor of some kind, but I seriously doubt they're going to change architectures. The most I think Apple can go for are Intel PowerPCs.
Yes, but if you keep this copy you aren't denying the next person from having the resource. I'm not entirely sure it is. I figure it's probably analogous to photocopying.
At my university, we had about six different systems for electronic library. They all had different ways of calling up different journals, and some of them didn't work half of the time.
I can't believe how difficult it is to find electronic information at a university. Probably trying to keep librarians (as they're the only ones who know how to operate these things thanks to $2500 refresher courses provided by the software developer) and the middleware pushers employed.
This is one of the first gaming announcements in the past couple months to warm my black little heart. Too bad it's Majesco, but they can't screw it up that badly... can they?
It's about time the courts are on our side for something like this. Now if they can just do something about all the other idiots wanting DRM everywhere...
P.S. Enclosed is a bill for using the Internet to download a copy of my software. What's that, you didn't download my software? That's okay, I didn't download your shit either.

I'm going to have to get my 1200HD out of the closet and go for a quick spin again.
Anyone heard of a damn jukebox?

I hope Final Fantasy 13 is some sort of psychological Silent Hill-esque thriller with a creepy soundtrack.
I'm not holding my breath.
Quake3 used SMP on Mac OS X and Linux (there's a quake3-smp binary that comes with the latest point release for Linux). I don't know about Windows.

If it's insecure that provides a perfectly valid explanation for unauthorized behaviour.

I wonder if my municipality will take offense to flying sorties over to my neighbours' yard to steal beer out of his cooler.

If Apple released hardware that looked this bad, I'm pretty sure they'd all be bludgeoned to death within seconds.

Most people aren't developing new IP that's going to be poached by some overzealous patent seeker either.
Thanks for driving Nintendo into the ground.
They have two rovers. The solution is obvious.
I think it means they ran it. You know, as a story.
Hi, I am a concerned Canadian citizen.

I don't know about you, but I think my cable ISP (Shaw) has already signed onto this one. I've had 9-10 half hour outages in the last two days.
I just watched the episode of Max Headroom where they spy on a board meeting via a mechanical fly, and now I see this?
