Like a Tiger...

Posted In Music |

{mosimage}Today, Apple announced the release date of the upcoming update to Mac OS X, called Tiger.


The
next-generation of the Mac OS X operating system has more than 200 new
features and innovations including Dashboard, an updated iChat, a new
Automator workflow application, Safari with a built-in RSS reader and
Spotlight, Apple's new desktop search technology that lets users
instantly find anything stored on their Mac. "Mac OS X Tiger is the
most innovative and secure desktop operating system ever created," said
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.


Well, he would, wouldn't he
? Hehe, but I've seen a developer preview release and Tiger looks like
the goods. I've already pre-ordered my copy for $199AU through NextByte (Brisbane).

Get Perpendicular

{mosimage}In March 2005, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies demonstrated an areal density of 230 gigabits per square inch (Gb/in2) on perpendicular recording technology, the highest areal density achieved to date based on vertical recording.

Word ... Now check out the Flash Musical ...

Gotta love that 70's nightclub scene ;)

ZDnet reports "An Australian security firm is about to launch a clustered Linux
distribution that aims to utilize the unused nightly processing power
of desktop PCs. Dubbed CHAOS,
the software is able to remotely boot a computer and run it on Linux
without affecting the local hard disk. With enough PCs, this has the
potential of creating a
distributed supercomputer."



Now, I like to know how it does that. Does it use bootip or is it a
CD-rom based filesystem ? The reason I want to know is, if you read
that paragraph again, it sure sounds like one hell of a virus.

Last night I wrote a rather length report on the Apple WWDC Preview
that was held in Brisbane. Unfortunately, when I clicked the submit
button ... at the same time, I lost my net connection (good ole
Telstra) and then couldn't go back without losing what I'd just typed.

Well I decided to make the site live this morning - so here it is. This
is the new site switched from Nucleus (Kubrick Theme) to Mambo
(Kubrick-ported Theme with Sikosis customizations). Whilst, I'm finding
Mambo pretty strange to get around, I'm still finding it pretty
customizable. It's just PHP and MySQL after all, but I find the loading
of components to be a complete pain in the ass.



As you'll see there is currently no News Archive, as there is no
component to do this in Mambo, pretty slack eh ? I found quite a few
people asking for the feature, with no responses, so I'll be working on
something that does the job soon. I'm also working on a component
maker, so that it make things easier when creating components, as I'll know doubt have to
create lots of them over the course of this year.
