when does the palm Pre launch? is it apr/may? maybe this is to keep some people excited for new 3.0 coming in june that would otherwise think about jumping to the pre? i dunno, just guessing..

Definately. This event is simply saying, what the Pre can, we can (should) do better.

maybe having apps running in the background? would the current iphones be able to handle alot of background apps without slowing down badly?

Could be, I mean Sony has done it before with the PSP. The Slim came with extra memory, resulting in some software only working on the new model. Anyway, I'm excited to see what they come up with. If it's good enough I'll gladly pay to update my iPod. Again.

I was about to order a new iPhone this weekend. Maybe I should hold off if they announce new hardware?

wait this week. see what they announce at the event and judge if they'll need new hardware by the release date or not. if they don't appear to have new hardware, then get your iPhone :D

can't wait to see what's new on the 3.0 firmware!

I think we all knew this was coming. Apple seems to have made it a habit of previewing the iPhone OSX in March and then releasing it around WWDC time along with an actual iPhone hardware upgrade. They are really milking the idea that people are willing to upgrade to a newer iPhone every year and re-sign new contracts.

I'm hoping that they take a real Snow Leopard approach to it, you know, reduce drive and memory consumption. If that were the ONLY feature, I'd pay for it.

After a few days my iPhone slows right down, a quick reboot fixes it, but it's still annoying.

+1 on this. Prolly the newer iPhone will come with dual cameras so that video conferencing is possible over 3G, more memory and a better processor. I just bought the 3G two months back, i don't think i can afford a new iphone especially since it costs 700$ in my country

Does anyone even video conference on their phone anymore? I doubt we'll see a front facing camera.

Fortunately Nokia, Motorolla, SE, HTC ect all only release a single phone every few years...

If anything Apple is rather unique in that they do so few updates. No one is forced to update either.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
