My Tissue Box from Apple
December/16/2006 05:11
Dear Santa,
My Mac mini is being modified lately as a Tissue Box, and it's going to sit at the top of the water tank and serves its glorious duty for the rest of the days.
Uncle Santa, I don't mean to be greedy. But, I have been longing for a better Mac mini that can take up my daily routine jobs, powered by a faster Intel's Merom CPU, give me 4GB of DDR-2 RAM and a faster 7200 rpm hard disk drive. As a result, I may finish my tons of photo batch processing work in Adobe Photoshop and C1 PRO, and yet, do not let my Mac turns out a 100% full load of CPU, while the Mac OS X Tiger has been paging out rapidly in an unwanted situation.
Please let me know if I am asking too much from you.
Merry Christmas, Santa! Give my love to your reindeers.
Humble voice from Tomahawk.

No LCD screens from SONY
October/13/2006 21:16
SONY has officially announced the end
of its worldwide business related to LCD screens.
The reason is of course the strong competition between manufacturers, coupled with smaller margins. This might have a negative impact on the development of the future LCD display generation based on the LED-backlight technology for which SONY was a leader.
