Henrik 5-Apr-2006 [448x2] | http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/<--- Apple Boot Camp, lets you partition and dual-boot OSX and XP easily on Intel Macs |
the timing is kind of funny, since hackers have been working their asses off to win the big prize on getting XP to run on macs. now Apple offers an official solution, which they said they wouldn't do | |
[unknown: 10] 5-Apr-2006 [450x6] | Its funny indeed.. I just wonrder if they did had it on the shelf already... |
in 2 weeks time a cooperation of micorsoft together with Apple can build very nice applications that bring money ;-) | |
who would think of this.. actualy its a nice idea...-> http://ilps.science.uva.nl/MoodViews/ | |

Anton 11-Apr-2006 [457] | Jaime, I presume you post such an article to bring to attention the interesting release process they have, with "Feature Freeze" etc. |
JaimeVargas 11-Apr-2006 [458] | Yes, and that he considers the Open Source movement the success story in biz, while the old model is dying the lawyers from the past are trying to derail it. |
Henrik 13-Apr-2006 [459x2] | http://news.com.com/2100-1032_3-6060741.html<--- Google to launch calendar application |
http://calendar.google.com<--- actually it's open now | |
Brock 13-Apr-2006 [461] | re: Google Calendar: Chris Sherman, executive editor of Search Engine Watch.com. "The interface is classic Google--clean, crisp and relatively uncluttered.... The one down side to the program is you have to be online when you use it" |
Geomol 13-Apr-2006 [462] | All those Google applications. Wouldn't it be a lot better user experience, if REBOL clients were made, instead of having the applications inside a browser? Might be a good plan: 1) Get people away from MS products. It's not the best solution having everything inside a browser, but it lets them know again, that they have a choice. 2) Now people have choices, they can choose the best solution, which is REBOL reblets. |
Graham 13-Apr-2006 [463] | Let's see some nice hovers etc from Rebol apps. |
Geomol 13-Apr-2006 [464] | We just need someone to make the applications in REBOL. Any investors around? |
Graham 13-Apr-2006 [465] | and rich text. |

[unknown: 10] 14-Apr-2006 [471x2] | OTTAWA — California-based linguist Paul Payack expects the English language to gain its one-millionth word this autumn. The language has come a long way indeed, as the English would say, in 400 years. In 1582, the English grammarian Richard Mulcaster could say that the language was "of small reach, stretching no further than this island of ours, nay not there over all. http://www.languagemonitor.com/ |

Maxim 14-Apr-2006 [474] | I've actually seen the 'optical camouflage in action.. its nifty, if used properly. |
Anton 15-Apr-2006 [475x2] | Oh? how does it work ? |
ok, just reading now... | |
[unknown: 9] 15-Apr-2006 [477] | But it is light emitting....this would only really work in daylight until they do reflective. |
Anton 16-Apr-2006 [478] | Ah the real problem with it is a single point of view, and that point of view needs a projector next to it. Neat trick though. |
Henrik 16-Apr-2006 [479] | http://news.com.com/China+president+at+Gates+house%2C+not+White+House/2100-1001_3-6061616.html?tag=nefd.top <--- Chinese President visits the US. First stop: Bill Gates' house. |
Tomc 18-Apr-2006 [480x3] | ...before entering Gates' lodge-style, 66,000-square-foot home overlooking Lake Washington with a reported seven bedrooms, six kitchens, 24 bathrooms, a ..... |
7 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms ... I suspected as much... | |
(from Henrik's news story) | |
yeksoon 18-Apr-2006 [483] | hmm..so that he can 'install more windows' |
Maxim 18-Apr-2006 [484] | I wonder if many birds crash in to all those windows... ;-) |
Ryan 19-Apr-2006 [485] | It once was really bad. Marks regularly would be splattered on the blue screens that covered the old windows. For now its alot better, but we will see how it goes after they put in the new vista windows. |
Henrik 19-Apr-2006 [486] | he should be careful with windows that can be flipped over and are hinged at the center of the frame. I have those in my livingroom. When opened at a certain angle, the reflection in the glass is directed towards the roof. Sometimes a bird would get "caught" in the reflection while sitting on the roof and start attacking the window glass repeatedly. It looks really funny, but you have to clean up the mess afterwards: I suppose repeatedly banging their head against the window glass every 2 seconds for 10 minutes makes for a bad stomach... |
Henrik 21-Apr-2006 [487] | http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060420.html<--- So how will Apple handle the Windows problem? |
Maxim 21-Apr-2006 [488x2] | Thanks Henrik, you just made my day ;-) running windows XP apps on OSX natively! HAHAHAHAHA get the better OS, and the better Software and run them together. event though they wheren't meant to even support each other from the start :-) |
now the intel macs make sense more than ever... | |
Graham 21-Apr-2006 [490x2] | Does that mean that RT can stop development of View for OSX? |
Sounds good that they can now move on to other things. | |
Maxim 21-Apr-2006 [492] | not yet, but maybe in time... the article talks about technology which currently exists, but is not distributed by apple. |
Graham 21-Apr-2006 [493] | I can see this as killing Mac developers |
Henrik 21-Apr-2006 [494x2] | I don't think it will |
because you loose a lot of the goodies in OSX if you don't develop for the OS. not even the integration put forward here could make up for that | |
Maxim 21-Apr-2006 [496x2] | surely, opening up the windows API to mac users... sounds like a case to code in OSX natively hehehe |
but at least you could use Ultra edit on the mac to code it ;-) | |
