Quote: Originally posted by Splinemodel The bottom line is that Leica is dead. Not sure about that, they still have a very healthy medical microscopy business, and anyone taking over would have to maintain their high level of precision. (A…

Quote: Originally posted by benzene Ah, but the key is to view it as entertainment. As long as these kiddies keep pushing their respective companies to make the newest-hottest-gotta-have-it, we, my friend, get to reap the benefits. Anyone noti…

Quote: Originally posted by Amaizen_Aristotle Thanks for the prompt responses. It would probably help if I mention the fact that I am in a Philosophy PhD program. Thus, I will not be in need of many equations. The occasional diagram or visual …

It is interesting that some companies are still hedging their bets however. An example is Thomson, who is a founder member of the BRDA, but is only going to initially make players for HD DVD. Press release. The list of BR supporters does h…

A lot depends on whether there are things in the way... I get fantastic reception on my PB that is 10 feet from my basestation on the other side of a foot-thick stone wall, but not very good reception 30 feet after going through three foot-thick …

Quote: Originally posted by THT Color me impressed if it is indeed some 30 Watts at the clock rates (4+ GHz) talked about and for a 90 nm chip. But overall it doesn't make sense for a 234 million transistor chip clocked at 4+ GHz to consume 30 Wa…

Quote: Originally posted by THT Looks like IBM is finally going to use a low-k dielectric for the 90 nm fab. Combined with dual-liner strained silicon, a svelt Powerbook G5 will be very possible. For Cell, it's not exactly a panacea. Depending…

I don't know whether this has any implications for Apple (in using a Power5 derived processor), but I thought the following was quite interesting... Quote: IBM is also talking up its p5 575 box that is designed to be part of a server cluster. Th…

Quote: Originally posted by dferigmu I keep hearing about the next format wars being HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray. What's the difference? Is one of them clearly better? Which format is Apple supporting and which one will probably win? I just think it's …

Quote: Originally posted by Existence The Sony playstation is going to having Altivec in it! VMX = Altivec(TM) Also, remember that Altivec was one of the things IBM incorporated into the PPC970 at Apple's request, circa 2001. This thing is …

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph So Microsoft can get one thing for their Xbox... Would Sony really license the tech to a rival (I assume it is jointly designed)? Everything I have heard until this point is that Xbox2 will not use Cell (j…

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Actually, reading from the checks written by IBM's PR flacks, they engineered the Power5 so that a 900-class PowerPC could be derived from it immediately. The Power5 is a fundamentally different creature than th…

As neutrino23 says, it may be a hardware issue. It is very important that when you install the express card, the antenna cable is connected with a definite click.
