It takes too much in my opinion. I have to learn pathology and pathophysiology from pdfs. It is very annoying. I could print them, but it would take ours to print all of it and would cost too much ~ 4-5000 pages.

I've spent a couple of years now in college reading about that

Fortunately I finished anatomy already, but I love Gray's anatomy for it's pictures :D . The other book is much worse. It is the new Harrison's. Now that is something I call an "Oh my God, I can't read it because it has too small letters" book.

By the way, I want to be cook nowadays... my head is full with my finals...

Oh and I forgot this baby to show - it glows in blue inside when turned on

Slight update from me with my Dell Studio XPS. Upgraded RAM to 6GB (although you can't actually see that :p) and got new 2.4ghz dell wireless multimedia keyboard and logitech mx6200. New key + mouse are very nice to use but they don't look as cool as the bluetooth set, guess you can't have everything.

Where can you get that keyboard from seperately. From the Dell store all I've seen is the basic keyboard (Without the fancy circle on it) or that keyboard with a mouse combo.

Its this one here - http://search.dell.co.uk/1/2/2147-uk-irish...-black-kit.html

You have to buy it with the mouse, but the mouse is crap so I just chucked it in my spares box and bought a logitech mx620. Keyboard is outstandingly good, its the best I have ever ever typed on. I had the bluetooth set before ( http://search.dell.co.uk/1/2/9001-uk-irela...oard-mouse.html ) and this is deffinetely a good improvement.

The basic multimedia keyboard http://search.dell.co.uk/1/2/2146-dell-uk-...yboard-kit.html looks similar but it isnt anywhere near as good to type on, and as you pointed out lacks the fancy volume control.

The propereitary one that gets supplied with the xps one (not available seperetely on the dell site) is also very good.

Quick shot comparing all three (basic multimedia top, my one middle, xps one bottom):

Well it was notably the palm rest I was after but that's good enough thanks. I'm after a Wireless Keyboard considering my Mouse is quite new and I have a Sidewinder (Original) and I'm happy with that. I found that I drain the battery way too fast on wired mice anyway and I don't have the money to go out and buy a new one anyway (I only got the SW recently for Xmas too) so don't whine at me about getting the Mamba :p

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
