A new Alpha of the Playstation One emulator has just come out.
There haven’t been any reports on games that run decently so don’t expect much from it. Right now the developer is working on his re-compiler but it’s a bit hard to debug so the update won’t come very often, but still, this is one […]

SpreadFirefox is reporting that, according to a recent XiTi study, Firefox has reached 15% usage in the US and 20% in Europe, with some countries in Europe above 30%.
Since the original article is in a language other than English, I will link to the SpreadFirefox post.

With an announcement like switching processors, you will see tons of videos like this pop up all over the web. It happened when the G5 replaced the G4, and when the G4 replaced the G3. Now, here is video of an iMac 2Ghz Intel (on the left) and an iMac 2.1Ghz G5 (on the right) […]

When everyone read that the Playstation 3’s “boomerang” controller was a concept design they were a bit relieved. However, this time it’s different. The console’s design we currently know and (most) love is in fact also a conceptual design.

What would you change on the current version?
I’d change the Spiderman 2 font on the side of […]

Mozilla has set a March launch date for the release of Firefox for Intel-based Macs. The launch will coincide with the release of the Firefox 1.5.0.2 updates.
If you happen to already have an Intel Mac, you can get an unofficial build from the Mozilla Wiki.
They are also working towards a universal binary that will install […]

Intel is planning on quietly phasing out the Pentium moniker that it has used since 1993. Instead, it will simply use names for each processor, such as “Intel D 920″. This represents a shift in focus from the processor brand to the platform.
According to Krewell, the processor is becoming less important in Intel’s product line-up: […]

This guy too a MacBook Pro and configured a Dell Inspiron E1705 to match it to see what the price difference was. He had to make slight changes to both to get the to match closer, such as 2 512mb DIMMs on the MacBook and add a bigger hard drive and a DVD burner to […]

A few days ago I wrote an article that Microsoft planned to end XP Home support on the end of the current year. The support date has been however extended by two years after Windows Vista’s release with little or no announcement at all.
This seems like a normal decision for most people seeing how used […]

Steve Makofsky has recently written an interesting article in which he converts an Asus WL-HDD2.5 into a PSP media server.
The final use for this is to stream music to your PSP. But of course this won’t be much use to you when you’re out in the park. It’s no iTunes remote, but it’s the next […]
