Apple - Mac OS X - 200 New Features

] We got it, we played it, we love it. Polyphony Digital's
] latest-generation Gran Turismo introduces a toolbox full
] of new features that'll have you playing for hours,
] sometimes without even driving a single lap. Ever want to
] race in the Grand Canyon? On ice? Around New York City,
] Hong Kong, The Cote D'Azure? How about a drag race down
] the Las Vegas Strip? Now you can take your pick--all over
] the world, on any track, on any surface.
]
] While GT3 offered 38 tracks and 150 cars from 38
] manufacturers, GT4 offers more than 700 cars from 80
] manufacturers and up to 100 tracks along with a variety
] of race modes. GT Career Simulation Mode and GT Arcade
] Mode are still available, but also added are GT Director,
] B-Spec, and GT Photo modes.

This is so true and funny...

Modern Tech Support

] So, you wanna make your ugly Windows XP interface look
] like Mac OS X, huh? It’s really not all that difficult
] to do, and with a little luck, you’ll be able to
] convince all but the most die-hard Mac users that you run
] an Apple computer. First, here’s a list of the programs
] you’ll need:

This rocks!

Turn your PC into a Mac

] An 18-year-old German high school student has admitted
] creating the Sasser internet worm, police say.
]
] The worm spread through an estimated 18 million computers
] across the world last week, continually shutting down and
] rebooting them.
]
] The teenager was arrested on Friday in the town of
] Rotenburg in northern Germany, and has now been released.

German Teen 'confesses' to Sasser worm

] But the PlayStation 6 should really rock.
]
] Some of the biggest changes, they assert, will center on
] the way players control and interact with games. Forget
] mashing the "X" button; future games will use cameras to
] read your body movements and facial expressions, plus
] microphones backed by advance speech recognition
] technology to recognize vocal commands. And perhaps
] they'll all be crammed into your personal entertainment
] robot, so the game sensors follow you wherever you go.

] Dave had some surprises up his sleeve as well. You'll
] remember that I said he was using a ThinkPad (running
] Windows!). I asked him about that, and he told us that
] many of the computer security folks back at FBI HQ use
] Macs running OS X, since those machines can do just about
] anything: run software for Mac, Unix, or Windows, using
] either a GUI or the command line. And they're secure out
] of the box. In the field, however, they don't have as
] much money to spend, so they have to stretch their
] dollars by buying WinTel-based hardware. Are you
] listening, Apple? The FBI wants to buy your stuff. Talk
] to them!

]
] Dave also had a great quotation for us: "If you're a bad
] guy and you want to frustrate law enforcement, use a
] Mac." Basically, police and government agencies know what
] to do with seized Windows machines. They can recover
] whatever information they want, with tools that they've
] used countless times. The same holds true, but to a
] lesser degree, for Unix-based machines. But Macs
] evidently stymie most law enforcement personnel. They
] just don't know how to recover data on them. So what do
] they do? By and large, law enforcement personnel in
] American end up sending impounded Macs needing data
] recovery to the acknowledged North American Mac experts:
] the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Evidently the Mounties

The FBI HQ runs Macs, so does the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
