I'm using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which has a glossy menubar ;) But I'm a smartass.

Hey just a question while we're at it:

I have this really weird problem on my Mac running the latest Safari 2 version with the forum, when going to neowin.net it just randomly blanks out: Blank page nothing else. I have to refresh like 20 billion times before it reappears, I recently formatted and the problem remains.

Any thoughts? :unsure:

Thanks God is not just me... it's freaking annoying!!!

But I got a work around for it... well, quite a workaround...

You most open Fire Fox and logon into the forum and leave it running while you do your stuff on Safari... so far this is the only way I have found to keep on using Safari cuz I don't like FF...

Weird thing is that this issue with white pages loading on the forum just started happening about 3 or 4 days ago... I also got a weird issue where I was writing a reply and when I submitted the post it appeared under my brother?s name.

Take a look at the post I?m talking about? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=367893

Anyone having problems connecting their ipod to itunes 5? Asks you to reinstall itunes, but that doesn't solve the problem...

Delete C:\Documents and Settings\$user\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref and it should work. At least it did for me when I got that error ;)

Getting this too, only way it works is if I also open up firefox :/

Apple is being a sneaky ******..

One thing they didn't mention in iTune 5 is that.. they included Bonjour as part of the installation. One more service that runs in your background and sucks away your system memory.

I actually tried Bonjour as a separate product before, and it did not do much for me as I never had the need for it. Worse, it actually messed up my networking properties, causing my network to go down.

I had to uninstall Bonjour to get my network up and running again. Very sucky.

isn't bonjour just a rebranded Rendezvous?

This is so good. Have been playing around, and the program runs real smooth. Much more stable and faster than 4.9 .

However, what this new 'search bar'? I don't see any search bar...

586492588[/snapback]

it's a lot different, it is more mac like. It searches for things similar to Sportlight found in OSX Tiger. It's exactly how you would find things if you looked them up in the finder, for OSX users it's a lot better integration.

I dont get it...

I just updated to iTunes 5, and connect my iPod and then it proceeds to put 800 songs back onto my iPod that were already there. Am I missing something here?

In order to view the search bar, go to Edit>Show Search Bar :)

I was just going to ask about it. What is it and why is it trying to access the internet?

I just had some problems with that unnecessary bonjour thing. I thought my router was playing up but when I read that thunderriver said he had problems. I was clearly having the same problem. It messed up my DNS or something. I had to completely unistall itunes because I couldn't find a way to get rid of the bonjour service. I reinstalled it and didn't let bonjour through zone alarm and it didn't screw it up this time. Then I had to disable the service. I can't remember the uninstall command for removing a service. Does anyone know? Will doing that break my itunes? What is the point of this little bloaty piece of scum?

I don't like seeing my podcast when I select Library. Showing the searchbar CTRL-SHIFT-B let you select Music which hides them... but clicking away and back to library bring back the podcasts. Mixing it with music is a dumb ass idea! Fortunatly, we can create a smartplaylist that exclude podcasts and then showing the Browse CTRL-B... But still I don't like that new "feature"

A short question, ripping CD in AAC creates encrypted files or not?

edit: They even show-up in all default smartplaylist! Had to edit them and add Podcast Is Not to remove them!

    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
