I got as far as the fast flash in the new Mac Maxi and had to give up. The stream is freezing up here more than a Fermi card.

I liked what I managed to see of Mavericks. Not so sure about the name change though. Kinda preferred Sea Lion. Good to see iBooks on OS X. Was kinda stupid that you could buy a book on a Mac but not view it.

iWork online is pretty awesome.

Agreed, iBooks, much like correcting the full screen issue, should have been fixed a while ago.

So the rumor from this morning was spot on

The mock up was spot on.

About the dots. The icons still look better than the mockup that hit the front page.

Also missed animation and parallax scrolling and transparency, obviously.

anyone else find it a tad bit annoying they called the intel xeon chip on the mac pro a "256-bit Intel Xeon" chip?....... if you know the internals of all the Intel CPU's you know where they got this number from but it's not what they are insinuating....

i cant figure it out. anyone care to enlighten me on Apple's futuristic processor?

It's a 64 bit processor with a 256 bit memory architecture, which has been the case with Xeon's for a while now.

Gone is steve jobs obsession with tweaking until it reaches his ideal of "perfect" before it sees the light of day.

Clearly you never saw the first iPhone. :laugh:

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
