Codeweavers says cheap gas = free software today

I, for one, welcome our bargain basement lame-duck overlords!

Apple's $18 billion stash

Feb 25th 2008 9:04PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

"I'm surprised to see that Apple only spends 3% of their sales on R&D, while Microsoft spends 14%)"

Are you kidding? Microsoft has a huge R&D department that is likely one of the largest corporate publishers of CS research..

Not that that makes them cool, but they do spend money on R&D.

MacBook Air Developer Note

1) I agree PATA is weird -- especially given the need for fat connectors and lots of traces on the mobo..
2) The speed of these drives is on the order of 60MB/s for reads and 30MB/s for writes -- quite within PATA specs

Maybe PATA support was builtin on the SBridge and adding SATA would have required another chip (== more space).

Amazon year-end deals on Mac software

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Standard_Identification_Number has some details on the URL structure.. not sure if there are better resources out there.

Amazon year-end deals on Mac software

Oh poo.

I think I misread the URL. Sorry, I get cranky about this kind of thing, and I screwed up. There's no great "is this a affiliate URL" description I can find, and I thought I was reading the ref= bit as a affiliate, but that's just the internal module.

(Generally, AFAIK you can link the the Amazon product with an even tinier URL: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UK3GVA should work, and is obviously non-affiliated. :) Sorry if I jumped the gun on this, but I've been seeing it all over the place lately and it bugs me to death.

Is it so wrong to disclose when you get an affiliate kickback from Amazon links?

Thanks!

20" iMac LCD color problems?

Sep 12th 2007 10:17AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

"LCD panel in the new 20" iMacs is not a 24bit color panel as in the previous generation, but an 18bit panel instead. "

Previous gen iMac 20" (I'm typing on one now) are 18-bit. It kind of sucks, and is most visible in Windows/Boot Camp (Supposedly the ATI driver on Windows is less clever with zee dithering).

Norcent's DC-10 -- 10 megapixels on the cheap

Sep 25th 2006 1:38PM on Engadget

"So, if you're prepared to snap some really crappy pics at incredibly wasteful resolutions, the DC-1020 seems be the way to go, and it should be available now for that very purpose."

Wahyll sheet! Sahn me up!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
