I just found that one of the sources for my failure report had to be a book. Goddamn. I guess I gotta go to the library tomorrow and randomly plug in a book somewhere then.

On other (late) news, Sun’s Niagara II aka UltraSPARC T2 has started selling! I don’t know if they’re doing well, but still it’s Niagara, so I suppose it must be. Plus, free encryption.

NGEmu.com has sold out. I don’t know what happened.

Intel has a Core 2 Extreme Q9650 out that supports SSE4 (yes, it’s a Penryn). AMD is looking more and more hopeless at this point. I don’t even look at their CPUs anymore to compare them with Intel’s on the graphs.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been out for a while, and already people are installing it on their Hackintoshes. I’m not that confident about the state of hardware support (specifically my laptop’s hardware) in Leopard, so I’ll pass until I can build my own computer with my own money, which will take some time I think. The first batch of moolah I get I’ll spend on a PSP. Video/music player, emulators and PSOne games. Woohoo!

Notice how nobody buys a PSP for the games.

ATi was bragging a little too much about its new upcoming Radeon HD 3800 series (is that the R700?) and so a presentation was leaked to the public that talked all about the benefits of DirectX 10.1. Big deal. After all, my Intel GMA950 doesn’t even do DirectX 10. Anyway, you can download the Radeon HD 3800 presentation (along with the DX10.1 info) here.

And also, Intel was bragging about its new Penryn too, which is understandable, seeing as QX9650 is out and everybody can get it for the price of a leg. You can get the presentation for free, though. Here.

EDIT: Added a few pages from my old blog to this blog. The rest contain images, so I’ll upload them when I have a less hectic day. As if that’s going to happen soon.
