local physical storage could handle most of it, some could handle it and more (SSDs), but think about loading remote data directly to RAM to be ran - using storage that's over the Internet with one of these as if it were a superfast local storage, even - plus with all the uplink speed, share your content across the net at lightning speeds with all your other devices and acquantainces as if the content were local on the remote device. you could do it both ways, both cloud storage and keeping your own content locally if you chose and available whereever you go.

hardly any software on the DC used WinCE, right. that article doesn't explain it very well, but most games/software titles run "on the metal" - ie they have their own engines and control/run on the hardware directly, no OS is loaded at all. WinCE was ported to the Dreamcast and capable of running on its' hardware, and only a few titles ever used it, all of which I believe were ports of Windows applications like Sega Swirl and the like (which was also available on the PC/Win32 platform).

The numbers don't tell much. Part of adding flash cache is supposed to be so frequently used data can be accessed with much lower latency and more randomly, and it's not aiming to speed up a single application but the entire system. It would have been nice to know how the desktop performance improved or "felt" - overall responsiveness of OS and application loading, multitasking, etc. That's where the performance improvement is going to be.

I look forward to seeing what AMD's new architecture brings. It's not really interesting thinking about it as integrating a GPU into the same space as a CPU, but creating one chip that can do more exotic types of calculations than either chip could alone and making it a available in every system. I'm also envisioning "GPU" instructions being executed where normally CPU instructions were when not in use, and vise versa, basically so everything available could be put to use.

For less than the price of Intel's top desktop chip, you can get an uber-1337 AMD Opteron with 12-cores. Beat that, Intel...

Prices start at $750.

Looks like they want something a bit easier to use and more user friendly...

Also this.

There's no evidence that this is a bug in Windows at all, or that it's a wide spread issue. There's not even a method of reproducing the problem, or any details on the cause...

What they're pointing out, and what I have noticed personally, is that once you discontinue use after a long period of time, you experience physical and mental symptoms of discomfort/boredom/trouble concentrating/anxiety, etc. So while you're using the Internet and technology, you undergo a physiological change similar to what an addict might experience while using, ie extreme pleasure/release of dompamine/wathever... and your body has a similar withdrawal reaction when it goes without.

Antipsychotics and other neurological (stimulants, antidepressants) drugs can cause tourettes like disorders, ie tardive tourettes. I imagine a persons physiological/psychological response could be severe enough to cause a similar problem.

Funny thing, IM on cellphones uses your text messages rather than data...

I think you're all wrong about what he means by being a victim/perpetrator; he might be talking about statutory laws that make it illegal for children to consent to engage in sexual activity. Somehow he seems to be a believe that sex-ed will promote underage sex with peers, and in by doing so be a victim and violate someone else at the same time. Perhaps?

how about: excessive engagement in high stimulating activities such as the Internet, TV and online videogames, that ultimately depletes neurochemicals and at the same time causes a depression when experiencing less stimulating/normal activities? sometimes there really is too much of a good thing.

That's a major lack of insight into this situation. DivX also hasn't ever inherintly meant AVI. AVI it's a standard Windows container format and DivX is something completely different, the data that can be stored inside the AVI format.

Windows Media Player 12 (Win7) will play most MPEG4/AVC files, including XviD and DivX out of the box. I believe it's due out soon for previous versions of Windows.
