I believe this is a plugin/applet that lets you read MS Journal files (duh) - which are the data files created by handwritten/tabletPC-editions of XP. No idea how it breaks pdf though.
Maybe appropriately, maybe defiantly, prophetically, but I doubt there would be any irony *when* Apple lets fly the legal hammer of justice.

Not bad at all. But I would like to see the franchise survive and expand, and since the first one flopped so badly (to my surprise), I'm not averse to it taking a chance and changing the formula a bit to attract new fans.

I'm always amazed at the things good developers are able to squeeze out of "old" consoles. The game somehow keeps the idyllic Ico feel (complete with subtle lens flares and "high dynamic range" lighting) yet looks a lot more action-packed than the original's overly puzzle/jumping based maze-running.
Here's a game that could definitely use the visual booster shot a next-gen console could offer.
First, the movie will not take place near Earth. Nor will it feature aliens or space warfare. Instead, it will be about a virus that infects people and turns them into zombies, but there WILL be a double-barreled shotgun. The reason? The writer claims, "The original book was so suspenseful and scary that we could never hope to top it."
True dat. Whatever the final reason(s), this guy cooked up in a matter of weeks some damned cool software that I wished existed on my thinkpad for nearly a year.
well it shows you how easy it is to develop something this non-trivial using XCode and how "difficult" it is on other platforms.
I question if anything in the article or elsewhere actually points to this hypothesis at all.
I bet it has more to do with the fact that AMS is a new feature that's being highly touted and hyped on every new notebook for an entire platform (Mac), as opposed to something from one of several dozen manufacturers,that very few people (even most thinkpad owners) are ever aware of.
The same thing could be said about your comment here:
Is this an indication that my comment is stupid, or are YOU stupid for not being able to see that it's a general comment on the lack of proofreading in the title?
The same motion sensor (with real-time 3d display of the notebook's orientation) has been on the IBM Thinkpad for a while now. Since he's an IBM researcher, maybe he'll take the time to port it over to the PC as well! I've always wanted to play Labyrinth or Marble Madness (or Super Monkey Ball) by actually tilting the machine.
Have you even played it? It is anything but a POS. Honestly, I'm kind of disapointed they went with the new look. The cel-shaded look was unique, it added style to the game and it looked damn good.
Ditto, WW was the first console game I picked up after YEARS of hardcore PC gaming, and it was such a breath of fresh air. The evel of detail, production values, gameplay...just wow.
The new Zelda does look very good, and I think the "standard anime" style works in that it places the game in a darker, more serious place. But I also wish we could see more of the WW-style cell-shading. Guess there's always Revolution to look forward to.
Even gold farmers have to eat! Think about their families. Poor little gold children slaving away in the gold fields in a decreasingly gold-agrarian society...it brings a tear to my goldeneye...
I just don't understand. A regular rumor/hype/unsubstantiated-claim is made and the general tendency is not to give them the benefit of the doubt - they get flamed and hen-pecked to hell before they even have a chance to prove their claims.
Then CherryPC comes along, which is SO MANY WAYS is such an obvious rip-off that IT'S ALMOST AMUSING, and people act so damned civilized, presenting balanced views, structured evidence, etc. Why bother with the niceties in this case? Just call Hawaii5-0 and bust a cap in his ass already.
At first it appears that four college students have a big unfair advantage over a huge multnational corporation. However, if you stop and think, the truth becomes clear. Honda, having to deal with burdens these students never fathomed, such as overhead of a production crew, professional cameras, caterers, unlimited parts bin, money, and time, cannot with honesty be held to the same standards.
Seriously though, I think the machine is cooler and in many ways more innovative primarily because Honda only used parts taken off the Accord. No fires, darts, stools, or other ingenious uses of everyday household items that made the contraption so cool to watch. The Honda commercial was also about absolute precision - parts barely reached their destination and stopped right when they had to - it was more a polished work of art than the purely creative-brute-force of the contraption, Honda also had to constrain the speed at which things happened, precisely for the reason why the contraption required a separate movie to show exactly what was going on in each segment of the animation.
The entire thing goes all over and around a room, there probably isn't a good way to take a picture that could capture the essence of what the whole thing is like.
That is, unless you had a 360 degree fisheye lens.
There was an article about the commercial. They weighted the tops of the tires with a big clump of various nuts/bolts/metal parts from the car. I think everyone noticed how oddly the tire motion was though:)
Interesting. Considering the backlight in standard LCD screens is always on, this is a pretty cool development in a number of ways.
Intel has demonstrated a similar, but more traditional approach - a technology that will dim and brighten the backlight depending on how dark or bright the image on-screen is (a lot of black space, like a terminal window, will dim the backlight, while a lot of white, like/. fullscreen, brightens it automatically).
Would two dual-core CPUs be considered 4 discrete processors by the OS? It seems to me that 4-processor support in OSX probably means two physical dual-core CPUs, whereas four physical CPUs would be seen as an 8-core system.
I can't wait for dual-core CPUs with hyperthreading, that's going to be mess to keep up with.

Annoying, but at least they show you how to get around the reappear/reinstall/undeletable garbage the toolbar usually subjects you to.

That is the correct response.

Hmm. The contraption looks a lot more...green than in the video.
It's almost like asking why your child is prettier and smarter than everyone else's.

Clearly AOL doesn't want the TMOBILETERRORIST to have a monopoly on celebrity porn. These terms of service will help keep their bases covered.
