holy shat..

that was feking fast.

he should've ran full speed to set the highest record though..... he shouldn't of backed off near the end..

I don't dispute that he is the best right now... but not only him has set new records in recent years.

I was a big fan of Linford Christie and he is an all time great but to compare him with this guy when hes wearing modern footwear and gear its hard to say.

He definitely touched the wall first. That gif does a good job showing it.

Calvic glided in the end to touch the wall while Phelps took an extra 1/2 stroke which is how he managed to touch the wall much quicker. Had Calvic not glided, he would've won.

It was an amazing race.

Yeah that Gliding was a Major mistake.

That's the nature of sports, there is always somebody as good/better than you, you can't afford to make ANY mistakes.

WOW BeiJing really looks good!

Why the **** would NBC not show the mens 200m and 400m opening events live? I mean seriously, what the **** did they show for the last two hours? Their coverage is horrible, and if they stop showing USA basketball live, im petty much going to be done with these olympics.

Thats why I wish other non-cable stations could show the olympics with NBC and/or NBC can use the substations in digital TV and offer more. 3.1 for the main broadcast commentary stuff events that they do and 3.2-3.4 other events.

I cant wait for the 4x100m and my personal favorite 4x400m relays in track.

edit: Damn, Liu Xiang (China) is out of the 110m hurdles.

Actually im glad they dont use the sub channels, i wish they would stop using those things. They have like 4-5 different channels(NBC, CNBC, Universal, ect...) for this, using the sub channels would only degrade the picture quality of the HD channel. They have an HD version of all the channels they are using to broadcast on, but choose to show tapped events. During the primetime slot on a sunday, starting at 8 they could have show the event finals for gymnastics, and easily cut it into an hour since it was taped, and then took us to the LIVE track and field events such as the 200m and 400m, but noooo. They stretch out the taped events and stupid stories for like 4 hours. They have all these channels at their disposal, and choose to show tapped events.

NBC isn't showing track events live because they want the most viewers possible for it, which is in the primetime hours (late night, which is morning in China -- and most track finals are at night there).

It's bullcrap for the fans who want to see it live, but it's still smart business.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
