Apple iPhone Delays OS X 10.5

 Mac fans can curse the iPhone for the delay of OS X 10.5 according to news from Apple. The delays of Vista had Apple laughing in Microsofts face but it looks like the shoe is now on the other foot. According to an Apple press release yesterday, OS X 10.5 dubbed Leopard will not be launched until October of this year.

"We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones," said the company in the release.

Apple sites the delay due to extra resources being needed to launch the iPhone in June. Of course this could be a way of saying that Leopard is borked and they need more time to fix it. The new OS will be a true 64bit operating system and will have a new feature called Time Machine - a facility that allows you to go back in time and change the course of computing history.

Of course, Microsoft should be over the moon by this news as it gives them an extra few months to get their own back on Apples Vista slur campaign.

 

Vista OEM Hack Works

After acknowledging the existence of a method to bypass the Windows Vista activation routine, a senior product manager at the big M, posted about the effectiveness of this method on his blog.

 

“This form of product activation is also known as OEM Activation or just OA,” Kochis wrote. Back at the launch of Windows XP when Microsoft introduced Windows Product Activation, we recognized that as easy as end-user activation is, it still represented an extra step. In an effort to reduce the impact of even that extra step but maintain the overall effectiveness of product activation, Microsoft worked with OEMs to develop an implementation that would work best for them and their customers while keeping the goals of product activation clearly in focus. As we looked to develop a solution, it was important to ensure that product activation technology could still deliver an acceptable degree of protection, while at the same time, reduce the need for an extra step by the end user.”


 

300 Review

300 Movie Review
Blood, Guts and Ketchup

Take one Greek myth legend, add in a plenty of muscle bound heroes, mix with lashings of tomato ketchup and cook for 2 hours. It's the basic ingredients for 300, a spectacular movie and possibly the best film in years. Frank Miller's visual blood feast is a fast paced epic of big beefy men chopping each other up into little bits.

So what does our resident Hollywood critic think to all this? Eric Sandstrom straps on his leathers and thrusts his sword deep into 300. What a guy.

Caves Found on the Surface of Mars

Space.com is reporting on the discovery of seven dark spots near the Equator on Mars. The thinking is that these are cave openings. The openings are the size of football fields, and one of them is thought to extend approximately 400 feet below the surface.'The researchers hope the discovery will lead to more focused spelunking on Mars. "Caves on Mars could become habitats for future explorers or could be the only structures that preserve evidence of past or present microbial life ," said Glenn Cushing of Northern Arizona University, who first spotted the black areas in the photographs.'

Computer Interaction in Science Fiction Movies

From futuristic 'Punch Cards' to Voice Recognition HoloDeck Interfaces, human/computer interactions have always mirrored the base concepts of our emerging technologies. An article from a Saarland University CS Seminar highlights Hollywood history with UI, ranging from the moderately feasible (Total Recall's television/scenery display wall) to the often ridiculous (Swordfish's 6-flat screen monitor setup complete with 3-D virus-hacking environment). An interesting read, especially considering some of the technology is on its way to becoming a reality.

US Airlines to Offer In-Flight Wi-Fi

Within the next year, US Airlines are going to be offering Wi-Fi service onboard flights. VoiP calls will be banned initially, but the article mentions that lifting the ban on cellphones may still be a possibility. 'AirCell will install equipment on airliners that will act as a WiFi hotspot in the cabin and connect to laptop computers and devices like BlackBerrys that have WiFi chips. In all, it will cost about $100,000 to outfit a plane with less than 100 pounds of equipment, and the work can be done overnight by airline maintenance workers, AirCell says.

What makes the service particularly attractive to airlines is that they will share revenue with AirCell. The service will cost about the same as existing WiFi offerings. Mr. Blumenstein says it will charge no more than $10 a day to passengers. It will also offer discounted options for customers and tie into existing service programs like T-Mobile, iPass and Boingo. Speeds will be equivalent to WiFi service on the ground.
