Intel's SSD Toolbox, firmware update promise boost in performance {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2009 4:29PM This is great and all, but these drives are not in stock anywhere on the planet. I have cash in hand, Intel!!!
Apple will officially support Windows 7 in Boot Camp before end of year {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2009 7:50PM WIn 7 RTM (build 7600) 32bit works OK on a 2007 MacBook Pro. The trackpad is almost unusable, though. Two-finger-right-click works about 20% of the time, so shift-F10 is the new right-click, and the tracking is really whacked. Sound drivers were missing from both 10.5 and 10.6 install disks. Wireless is iffy, too. It works, but drops the signal if you breathe wrong.
The worst thing is power, Win 7 can't read the battery life and shuts down within minutes of unplugging from the wall.
None of these issues are insurmountable, though. I use Windows 7 exclusively and only boot to OSX to test platform issues in my projects.

Oct 21st 2009 11:33AM Obviously they viewed this as a security threat, since cell phones can trigger explosives. So the airline's behavior makes perfect sense.
Lenovo slaps Windows 7 onto ThinkPad SL410 and SL510 {Engadget}
Oct 21st 2009 11:27AM They updated the keyboard and touchpad for the new T400s in July. The T510 and T410 will very likely inherit the design.
Aside from evolutionary changes to keep pace with technology and use cases, Lenovo doesn;t really need to alter the Thinkpad for visual design fads. That s what the Ideapad line is for.

Oct 20th 2009 1:32PM I don't get it... why release a brand new machine with a T9900 C2D when mobile Core i7 is already on the market? This computer is obsolete on the day it was released. Strange.
IBM's BlueGene/L: world's fastest supercomputer, 3 years running {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2007 9:05AM I too was curious what this is used for. From the computer's site (which I found through the linked article):
Located in the Terascale Simulation Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, BlueGene/L is used by scientists at Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia National Laboratories. The 360-teraFLOPS machine handles many challenging scientific simulations, including ab initio molecular dynamics; three-dimensional (3D) dislocation dynamics; and turbulence, shock, and instability phenomena in hydrodynamics. It is also a computational science research machine for evaluating advanced computer architectures.

Nov 2nd 2007 3:18PM The Yashica T4 Super was an excellent point and shoot film camera that went all over the world with me. I wish they could come up with an equivalent digital (excellent glass, weatherproof, tough).
