  • I know its a full fledged web client vs just a browser.... but look at that cpu load. Also notice the slighty 'nicer' rendering of macnn's tabs. Though without looking at the html its hard to tell what the coder intended(my guess is the chimera w…
    in New Browser for OS X......Chimera!! Comment by havanas February 2002
  • It's more of a Cocoa vs Carbon thing. Carbon is select, instant drag. Cocoa is select, hold then drag. IMO the Carbon way could be annoying in some instances, but its absolutely great for progs like BBEdit where I often drag text from place …

    in Explanation of Slow Window Resizing Comment by havanas January 2002
  • Brian, Interesting theories.... I also think many OsX apps may be getting sent an update message every available tick while the window is getting resized. I'm actually thinking of creating a timer for my graphical apps to only have them update ever…

    in Alternate DVD players Comment by havanas April 2002
  • VCD is the same bitrate as cd so you can get at least 74 minutes on one. NTSC vcd is 352 x 240 compared to DVDs 480 x 720 resolution. The encoding may be getting slowed down by the resize of the DV video down to vcd rez. I ussually output from Afte…

  • i finally tried using Os X's built in CD burning mechanism after my Toast beta expired(waiting for Photoshop to actually ship before I do my PS, Office, Toast upgrade.... thats gonna cost). Anyway, I burnt a standard closed session iso9660 for my PC…

  • Question for LCD owners Cinema and others.... How does one clean an LCD screen? I have a bad habit of touching my CRT screen when showing people code-n-stuff(ok.you got me.porn.and licking the aqua buttons).... anyway its fairly easy to clean a c…

  • Call me crazy... but if Apple were to use this chip... don't you think they would politely ask IBM not to anounce it one week prior to new G4 based macs... you think the current Quicksilver sales are bad?... wait till the ddr macs come out on the 13…

  • They should call it the X processor. With an exponent for your number of cores. I've got an X^4 !!! Oh yeah well I just got the X11... let the confusion begin....

    in No Powermacs at MWNY? Comment by havanas July 2002
  • Perhaps Adobe and Macromedia knew before that this would not be a "pro" event... hence them not attending.

  • iMac 0% With channel inventory so backed up a 'speed boost' would only make the machine in channel less desirable. Look for discounts/bundles on iMac until inventory is back to normal levels. powermac 100% Powermac like the iMac may have been r…
    in The Big Picture Thread - Macworld Expo New York Comment by havanas July 2002
  • I believe they were called "Detente" cards from Orange. I really wish Connectix would create a 500mhz celeron PCI card for Macs that interfaced with VirtualPC. If they were in the $150 - 250 range it would be worth it to me for the speed and space s…

  • Take a greyscale bitmap at 800x600 at 8bits per pixel and you get @3840000 bits. Assume your applying a brightness filter. You would get 16 pixels into the 128bit altivec register at 8bits each. You would have to cycle through this @30000 times to …
    in G5 earlier than we thought? Comment by havanas July 2002
  • Technical question: Is it possible to have more Altivec co-processors or to widen the amount of registers on a single unit from 128 to say...256(2x) or 512(4x)? Assuming the main processor and memory could feed and retrieve from them effiecent…
