"10:38 am Mathematica 5 for Mac OS X was ported to Intel last week...in just two hours. Working version in 20 hours. A couple dozen lines of code had to be changed."

I have tosay thats pretty darn impressive!!

Least the devs will be happy with that one!

OSX multi platform all along. Apple, how the hell did u keep such a thing under wraps with only minor leaks that every1 discounted!!!

i think the Government needs to take notes at data security lol

Microsoft must be a little shaken by this announcement, especially after iPod's huge success. My next PC will probably be a Mac (running Linux), I was holding off due to the sketchy PPC/Airport Extreme support [for Linux], but now I have no reason not to switch. Hopefully these laptops have battery life equivilent to the ones out there now.

All I know is, this is a double edged sword. Apple will be the only company selling OS X on their Macs, you're not going to be able to go out and buy a Dell with Mac OS X. If Apple PC's become more "mainstream" they are opened up to spyware / viruses because people will actually have a reason to target them now.

Funny thing is, we've been dealing with spyware for so long on Windows, that we know how to deal with it and there are good apps to take care of it. Theres nothing like that for Mac OS X, and that will take a while ;-).

Now I'm torn. I was going to get a Mac for this fall, but I dont know now.

The real question is going to be how does the x86 hardware perform under pressure with Mac OSX. Is there going to be a downside/upside to either hardware set.

This changes everything.

Any indication as to whether the x86 port of Mac OS X, will also work with AMD's x86 implementation, or whether Apple will find a way of locking it to the implementation in the Pentium? Thanks.

Just bought myself a new AMD64 PC and rather like the idea of a Windows 2006 x64/Mac OS X 10.5 dual boot in 18 months time :p

this does seem rather great . . i think.

even if i don't decide to switch, it is fun knowing that a ton of mac users are not knowing what to do now that they're special little OS won't be quite as special anymore.

in the end , isn't this what mac users were calling for, a "switch" ?

Steve Jobs "switched" the opposite way :D :D :D

10:46 am While most software is just a recompile away, some will remain PPC-only. For that, there's Rosetta. Binary instruction translation, in real time. Runs PowerPC code on Intel-baesd Macs. Transparent to users. Pretty fast. Jobs demos Rosetta used to run PowerPC macs on Intel-based Macs. Jobs shows Microsoft Excel/Word running on Intel-based Mac (without any porting and/or recompiling). Jobs also shows Photoshop CS2 with all plugins that are translated and run on Intel-based Mac without significant speed decrease.

Collaboration with Transitive, anyone? :D

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Why does this kind of tactic not surprise me?
    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
