Very slow internet connection
Im experiencing a very slow internet connection for the past week. It is not that slow but i cant watch video from youtube.com or megavideo.com it usually load fast enough that it dont buffer anymore. With my 1mb connection from globe it is already fast, but i dont know what happen, i try calling the technical support but it just piss me off due to the waiting time of more than five minutes and still no one will answer the call. Darn you call center. I hope they can resolve this before this sembreak so i can watch and download lots of video and music.
Google Phone HTC G1
The much awaited google phone has finally been unvield last september 23, 2008. Finally the rumors of its existences has been proven. The HTC G1 is the much awaited google phone. Its not actually an exclusive phone like the iphone. But it is the first phone that uses the google android OS or the operating system developed for the mobile devices by google and other partners. As report Samsung, LG, Motorola and other mobile phone makers are gearing up to used the google android os for their respective phone. So a lot of enthusiast is eager to buy this just like the hype iphone produce by apple. The difference between the two is that while the os used in the iphone is exclusive, the os used in the HTC G1 is an opensource software. That means anyone can create a application to it with out asking permission to the owner of the operating system. And another thing is that opensource tends to be more accepted in a network based area, specially when security is concern, they said opensource is better than those with close software just like the symbian os. But the best of all that it is free that means less cost for the phone.
Google chrome the google browser
As many have anticipated, google had really building its own browser. It was named chrome. I was just reading around some site and trying to figure out why they build another browser and we all know that they are supporting mozilla. Well according to them google is positioning itself to make apps more preferred that installed application in your os. Got that right the future of os might end. And think of this a free linux running chrome and chrome running all the free or maybe even paid apps on the internet. That means end to the dominance of microsoft. But that still years to come.
So to continue here's one site that will give the answer why they built it. The speed test of chrome or benchmark of chrome will left all browser behind. Now we know why. Because of javascript which google is building its webware application so they just need to build another browser really design for javascript. Good luck google i hope you can help lots of people with your free apps. To name a few apps is gmail and google docs. Also i think adsense is build on javascript right, so faster execution means faster probability to be seen by users and probably more clicks. I tried in my myspace facebook proxy and well its load faster than my firefox browser did.
6 core processor
Intel on September 15 is expected to roll out the Intel Xeon 7400 series Dunnington processor targeted at the server market, the final member of the "Penryn" family of processors. Penryn will be followed by the Nehalem microarchitecture, due to appear initially as the Core i7 processor in the fourth quarter.
Server vendors announcing products will include Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell, according to Intel senior vice presiden Pat Gelsinger, speaking at the Intel Developer Forum last month. Other server makers such as IBM and Unisys are also expected to have systems.
The Xeon 7400 boasts significantly better performance due to its large 16MB cache memory and half a dozen cores.
