Windows Vista 64-Bit – Is It Ready For Primetime?

Posted 08/13/2008 at 05:37:07pm

The 4GB RAM limit is a limitation of 32-bit OS's, and will be circumvented by going to 64-bit Vista.  The 4GB FILE-SIZE limit is a limitation of FAT32, and will not be circumvented by a move to a 64-bit OS without a corresponding file system conversion, unlike what the poster I was replying to (Marcus_Soperus) was saying.

And, obviously, I hate Microsoft so much that I'm recommending NTFS.  Obviously.

The 4GB file size limit is a limitation of the FAT32 file system, not a limitation of 32-bit windows.  Going to Vista 64-bit will not solve this problem.  Converting your disk to NTFS will, and can be done even on 32-bit Vista and XP (and, considering that Linux systems can now read and write NTFS, there's no reason not to).

New Japanse Browser Seeks to Snag Market Share from Firefox, IE

Posted 07/23/2008 at 03:57:02pm

Another day, another browser.

 

And this one looks like the unholy lovechild of IE6 and Firefox 2.

 

Seriously, other than the engine switching (easily accomplished with IETab in Firefox), what does this bring to the table?

The verdict here pretty much kills the practice of reverse engineering.  Which is very, very sad.

I'm more interested in LinMo, Symbian, and Android than either iPhone or WinMo.

Three Words: Pwn 2 Own.

Feel free to claim that it's more secure than OSX though, although that's mostly because of the boneheaded web browser that comes with it.

The problem is that an SDK-based iPhone GTalk app would face largely the same restrictions, due to Apple's bizarre insistence on no processes running in the background.  The only way they'd be able to make a functional IM app would be as an unofficial app only installable through the jailbreak hack.

Why would Nintendo cut their price? Usually, a price cut is used as a shot in the arm to flagging sales; well, as anybody who's tried to find one in the past few months can attest, Wii's sales aren't flagging in the slightest.
