Noooo....each battery lasts 12 hours. Buy more batteries, get more battery life

1 = 12 hours

2 = 24 hours

3 = 36 hours

etc...see the pattern?

What is up with all these companies using vertical touch strips?  I tried out the Zen Micro and it was horrible, I had to keep lifting my finger off and putting it back at the top so I could scroll down some more.

there was a guy at mistic river who said that bestbuy in america is planning to sell these things at 249 like the regular ipod mini price, people never understand that korean prices are inflated with taxes etc so doing a direct conversion in price is rediculous.

if i did a direct conversion of $299 for the 20gb iPod to aussie dollars it is a lot cheaper then the $499 we have to pay without student discount. never just convert prices they will only mislead you. unless you plan on buying it from korea then you will have to pay that much.

now this player is interesting but a 12 hr battery is with 128kbs mp3 and lcd off, which imo sucks. i was hoping for much more when i saw this.. i think i will be holding out to see if iPod can do soemthing decent with the 2nd generation of iPod minis that are meant to be 5gb.

i have been waiting for a decent colour competition cause i want a colour screen but cant affor $500 for the 20gb models i need something under $400 aussie. i have been following this product every day with all the information i can find. if it comes out at the same price as the mini i wont be getting it, not worth it when the H300 series, 4th Gen iPod and the Creative Zen Touch are all just a little more expensive and you get 20gb

IMO iRiver, like iPod with their 4th gen release, have screwed up. and with this model they arent going to make big inroads on iPod, but this is indeed superior to the current iPod.

the screen size is a problem, from the screenshots i've seen so far you just cant fit enough song name in.. its rediculous having that screen song. sure it works well for korean, japanese etc because the artist are 2 or 3 characters and the songs are the same so you get all the information you need on the screen but for those of us listening to english music you are going to have trouble finding your songs if you have a huge list of songs by one artist.

fittingly a song just came on my computer, ploaying through the speakers.. "difficult not to feel a little bit dissappointed" A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras

I agree. I prefer vertical, and the iRiver looks great and I bet it's great to use too!

Hope they do a nice job with the H500 :)

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
