DailyTech - AMD To Show Quad Core Running on Current Platforms: "AMD has updated its statement and now says that quad-core processors will only be compatible with Socket-F platforms. While Socket-F does support single-core and dual-core processors, it will be the only 'current' socket to support quad-core. Unfortunately, Socket-F platforms are not currently shipping to consumers. AMD clarifies that it meant no user who uses a Socket-F platform with a single-core or dual-core processor will have to change boards in order to use upcoming quad-core processors."

Put Up Or Shut Up - Brian's Brain - Blog on EDN - 400000040: "Here's the fine print on that retail market share data:
a) It's US-only
b) It doesn't include the bulk of the business market, which is largely Intel-loyal
c) It only includes desktop PCs....hot-selling and fast-ramping laptops aren't comprehended, and
d) It doesn't include direct sales....i.e. Dell."

Joel on Software: "�Don�t start a business if you can�t explain what pain it solves, for whom, and why your product will eliminate this pain, and how the customer will pay to solve this pain. The other day I went to a presentation of six high tech startups and not one of them had a clear idea for what pain they were proposing to solve.�"

Delete a song from a playlist

Delete a song from a playlist: "When you remove a tune from the Library, iTunes doesn't always offer to delete the song's file from the hard disk. Here's why: iTunes has a default folder for the music it knows about. On the Mac, this folder is in your User directory at Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/, and on Windows, it's located inside My Documents at My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\. Not every song file in iTunes needs to be in this default folder. Any song file can be added to the iTunes Library, no matter what folder it's in. If it's in the default folder, iTunes assumes it owns the file, so it offers to delete the file when you remove it from the Library. If the file is not in the folder, iTunes figures it belongs to somebody else, so it shows good manners by not deleting it."

Help me help iTunes not to be stupid | Ask MetaFilter: "I forget where I read this - but here's a solution that worked for me (similiar to the initial link posted):

1 - backup the itunes xml and database files
2 - Do a find and replace in the iTunes xml file to update all of the song locations
3 - open the itunes database in a text editor, delete everything, and save. (simply deleting the database file does not work)
4 - open up itunes - it will rebuild the library file from the xml."

POWER to the people

POWER to the people: "Released in 2003: 276 million transistors per processor
Like the POWER3 and POWER4, the POWER5 unifies the POWER and PowerPC architectures. The POWER5 is also based on the 130-nanometer copper/SOI process, and features communications acceleration, chip multiprocessing, a larger L2 cache, a memory controller on the chip, simultaneous multithreading, advanced power management, eFuse (morphing) and hypervisor technology. IBM servers built with the POWER5 feature up to ten LPARs capable of running up to 256 independent operating systems on the higest end. POWER5 processors can be found hanging about in iSeries and pSeries servers, as well as in the first IBM entry-level UNIX/Linux box, the OpenPower? line. IBM introduced the POWER5+? processors, which are built with a 90-nanometer process similar to that used with the Cell Broadband Engine, in 2005. POWER5+ ups the clockspeed significantly -- on a smaller die"
