Yeah I'm pretty sick of hearing about Phelps too. I don't think I'll get sick of watching May-Treanor/Walsh play beach volleyball though ;)

And TBH, I think their record of 104 straight wins (beating their own previous WR of 80-something straight wins) is far more impressive than Phelps winning a few swim races. That's not to say that his gold medal count isn't impressive, but it's not 104 straight wins either.

What? No way! Hell, I'm a track fan and, if Phelps wins 8 golds, even Edwin Moses going undefeated in the hurdles for nearly 10 years isn't quite as impressive as that. Phelps also hasn't lost a race in one of his events (I forgot which one) since he began swimming professionally. And in two of his other races he hasn't lost since the last Olympics. Now that is domination.

Phelps is dominating the entire world and doing it in crazy fashion. Not only is he winning, he's winning by a massive margin in different types of events, and he's been doing it for a while now. He's dominating a very good field every time out there.

I just can't believe how well the Canadian athletes are doing.....wow we already have ZERO medals lol

Canada doesn't want medals.

Did you know that some athletes who qualify for the Olympics for Canada in track don't get to go because Canada doesn't want to pay for them to go? These are people who meet the Olympic standard multiple times, win at the Canadian nationals, and Canada still doesn't send them. That's just wrong.

Man I am Glued to the TV !!! LOL :D

I missed the first hour of Today show... what I miss anything good?

I tell you man, that Shawn Johnson is a cute girl. But, like Miley Cyrus way too young for me.

She is gonna grow up a pretty lady, for sure though!

I am happy she won second place not third. She definitely was great on that floor! Totally deserved it better than the Chinese girl!

Lovely kid. :)

Did you know Canada is offering payment for winning medals? Up to 20,000 CAD at that. If that isn't wanting medals then I don't know what is.

Nastia and Shawn won woman's all-around gymnastics...I was sick and tired of seeing 12 year old's winning medals illegally.

On another note, Track and Field started today. This is the most exciting part of the Olympics for me.

As far as I know Canada never been so good in Summer games... in 2004 we just got 12medals total and I think it's good for us has long we are participating :D Go Canada ! Canada will be much better for the Winter games in Vancouver :D

We are only 1 medal behind where were were at this time in 2004. We only had 1 medal after 7 days in Athens.

They still have yet to prove it. At least it's not as bad as how our own track athletes cheating in the past four olympics...

Does anyone here know Where to watch the Opening Ceremony in it's entirety again?

www.nbcolympics.com or torrent :shiftyninja: in HD.

Yes, I'm well aware of that fact. Plain and simple, they're behind on that. Most countries have been doing that for quite a long time. Canada just now adding such stipulations doesn't mean they want medals -- it means they want to look like they care, and given that no one's won a medal yet for them, I don't think the Canadian Olympic group does care.

When you have athletes that could do well at the Olympics and potentially get a medal -- such as those track & field athletes who aren't being sent because Canada doesn't want to pay for them to go -- that says something.

I'm not dogging Canada. Wonderful place. I'm dogging their Olympic committee.

    • 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.
