Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Pretty good game!

Exciting til the end :), somehow i think Germany deserved to win and poland also getting a tie.

But tomorrow im gonna wait all day long for England - T&T

and then finally SWEDEN - Paraguay !!!!!!!!!!!! :D

As I said, hopefully both Sweden and England win and we?ll have a match for the group victory on tuesday, CANT WAIT!

Great match, Germany were unlucky to only have 1 goal. I dont understand why the poles didnt try to attack more, their run in the WM now depends on the other teams. the atmosphere here is crazy, people are still partying around, firecrackers etc :D

Boo Brazil! How can you choose them, guys?! Especially with Pele-turned-Maradona (atleast the weight) Ronaldo? They were horrible the other day...

I'm favour of Germany. It should of been them in 2002, and it should be them in this one. Just let Oliver Kahn play!

how can someone choose them? hmm let me think......the fact that they are the greatest footballing nation in the world wouldnt have anything to do with it, would it? and in 2002, Germany survived because of Oliver Kahn, their games were nothing to what Brasil played, mind u i am a goalkeeper when playing football for my local club, and Oliver was great that tournament, but in the end Brasil was better

roll on england vs trinadad and tobbago. 6 hours :D

Theres all this hype for brazil but judging by there performance against croatia there not going to be as difficult as everyone thinks, anyone notice how much weight ronaldo has put on! he barely got a touch of the ball

Brazil striker Ronaldo has undergone medical examinations in a clinic after complaining of dizziness.

The 29-year-old's below par performance against Croatia on Tuesday was greeted by vehement criticism from observers, who attacked his lumbering display and portly appearance.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have now revealed that the forward told team doctors on Wednesday that he felt light-headed and out of sorts.

Ronaldo was sent for examinations but nothing was found and he is set to return to training on Thursday.

"Ronaldo complained of feeling dizzy on Wednesday, June 14, and was submitted to a medical check-up and additional examinations," said the CBF on its official website.

"No abnormality was found. Ronaldo is, therefore, in normal conditions for training."

The incident is bound to bring back memories of his similarly dazed performance in the World Cup final of 1998, when he suffered a mysteriously setback prior to kick-off.

He does seem a bit more overweight than he used to be, but he has never exactly been the fittest player in the world. He still produces the goods most of the time.

No one can doubt Ronaldo's credentials, as his goalscoring record is average's out at 0.75 goals a game, which is a world class record.

He did look a bit out of sorts though on Tuesday, but hopefully he can turn everything around and go on to produce the form that we know he is capable of.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
