Panda CEO and CTO talk Cloud Antivirus 1.0 as download link goes live {Download Squad}
Nov 10th 2009 3:08PM I don't get the concept that Panda Security is pitching.
They said in the video on their site that traditional antivirus apps require that you update them regularly and have it on the PC while Cloud Antivirus does that in the cloud. So how do I scan my PC and my files if the definitions database is in the cloud.
Don't I still need to have the antivirus and definitions installed on my PC anyway?
NVIDIA CEO shoots down talk of Intel-compatible x86 chip, says his home is 'all Apple' {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 3:21PM He EITHER thinks that he works for Apple and will be thus trying to keep his job OR he is just brown nosing Cupertino so that the next batch of iMacs don't come with ATI graphics. Whatever is his reasoning, I think that he is an idiot.

iPhone 3GS bested by Android Archos 5 tablet in browsing benchmarks {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 3:40PM This means that the Archos 5 Android tablet with Webkit takes 93.75% of the time the iPhone does. In other words it saves you 6.25% of the time to load the page. I don't think many people are going to notice this difference. A page that loads in 10 seconds on the iPhone, will load in 9.375 seconds on the Archos 5. Clearly the iPhone has been bested but I think that this factor is not a big deal because it probably wins in portability; all Archos gadgets can lose some weight. Everything taken into consideration, it shows that an OS plays a major role in how fast a device performs. This is why my eyes are fixed on Windows 7 right now since I use Vista.
Transparent Sony VAIO X amazingly captured on camera {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2009 6:06AM The only reason I want one is because nobody has one. When the whole planet gets transparent laptops I'll revert to my black and aluminum HP. The LED lit logo turns heads the way a lonely transparent laptop does. The only reason I want this laptop is for the same reason I want a golden Rolex over a plastic Swatch. Hint: not to tell time.
Brief RSS add-on makes Firefox's Live Bookmarks usable {Download Squad}
Oct 12th 2009 4:43AM Its funny that I read this post in Firefox through Brief. I do like live bookmarks but they are not great on their own. I tried all sorts of RSS readers and never stuck with any one at all. On the other hand, Brief is one of the Firefox add-ons that I make sure is on my PC.

At long last, GIMP v2.8 to finally implement single-window interface {Download Squad}
Sep 20th 2009 11:35AM Finally!
I use MS Windows and really love this bit of news. The older multiple window interface doesn't work nice with the Windows taskbar. You have to click on the image window to get it focused.
I also love the "movable thumbnail tray" which is probably more practical in a visual environment like an image editor than tabs are, and the "Polaroids" feature is a nifty addition.
