Next-gen HDTVs may hide first-gen HD DVD limits, says Microsoft*
Friday 24 March 2006 – 09:16

While the first generation of HD DVD players will output 1080i resolution - interlaced, not progressive - smarter, top-of-the-line HDTV displays produced from now on should be able to compensate for that, says AACS spokesperson Richard Doherty, a Microsoft employee.

First Look At Brookdale - Intel's Upcoming 845 Chipset*
Monday 2 July 2001 – 07:00
Pentium 4 sales remain low, which is not entirely the fault of the price/performance of Intel's flagship processor. Current i850 platforms require Rambus' expensive and unpopular RDRAM, which reduces Pentium 4's appeal to the buyers even more. Soon Intel will come up with an alternative to i850 plus RDRAM. In a few weeks we will have the chance to spend our money for an even crazier solution. The i845 chipset will team up Pentium 4 with the slow and ageing PC133 memory. We tested this bizarre combination.

Apple at 30: The first moments with the Apple II*
Friday 31 March 2006 – 01:31

To understand what the Apple II meant to a world full of novices is to forget the context of our present era, to remember the world when you could only make contact with it through long-distance, to recall when people stared at computers and wondered what they were, and why anyone would spend hours and hours with them. This is the story of the day a few thousand people first saw the light for themselves.
