Hey guys.

So I'm on the middle of a road, and at one end of the road is the Iphone, and at the other end, the Blackberry Storm.

I'm a Verizon subscriber, I love their service in my area (Newton, MA) and its coverage when I travel within the States. I have to update my dumbphone this week, and I'm debating the Storm or Iphone. My contract is up, I'm a free agent baby.

Here is my mindset with everything: I tried a Storm out at Verizon yesterday. I enjoyed the QWERTY keypad and do not feel concerns about not being able to type as fast as I can on a physical QWERTY keypad. The web browser on the Storm is a very important feature for me. It's clearly not as good as the Iphone's with the omission of multi-touch and less smooth scrolling of pages. Also the lack of wifi IS NOT a deal breaker for me, but I would have liked to have it as an option. Having said that, I still think the browser is "good enough" for satisfy my needs.

So here are my questions for Iphone users. Any answers are greatly appreciated. Here goes.

1. What is the learning curve for using the touch keypad on the Iphone? I find myself making a lot of mistakes in the short time I've used it. I find myself making a lot less errors using the Storm QWERTY in the first time I used it.

2. A lot of my friends who have Iphone's say that the Safari web browser often crashes during use. Has this happened to you?

3. How is your battery life? In my situation I would keep 3G and wifi off during the day, and turning it on only when I wanted to browse the web, etc.

4. How has your plastic casing held up? I would not want to add a case, and I fear the hard plastic would break easily if dropped. Also, if you own a white Iphone, has your plastic back gotten dirty or cracked over time? I question how durable that white case is over time.

5. Do your apps crash often? I was talking to an Apple store rep yesterday and I asked about the app that gives you a QWERTY key pad in landscape, and he said it's very buggy and he would not recommend it.

6. This is more specific: does anyone here live in or near Newton, MA? I fear AT&T's service in my area. The AT&T site says I have great coverage, but I hear a lot about dropped calls and poor call quality from my friends who live in Boston and surrounding cities.

7. Is 3G coverage still as spotty as it used to be? I've read a lot of complaints about inconsistent 3G coverage, etc.

If I think of any additional questions, I'll add them here. Thanks in advance for all your answers!

Barco, a technology leader in virtual reality and a Core Technology Alliance Partner of Dassault Systèmes, recently installed a world-unique 3D visualization showroom and a 3D auditorium at Dassault Systèmes' new global headquarters, DS Campus. The seven-channel, three-sided 3D stereo system shows the capabilities of Dassault Systèmes' 3D software to its customers and partners, and also promotes both companies' emphasis on the importance of immersive and collaborative visualization.

Dassault Systèmes is a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. It offers a portfolio of software products aimed at accurately rendering high-quality 3D content for designers, engineers and teams of decision-makers. For their showroom and auditorium at their new DS Campus, Dassault Systèmes wanted the most high-end display system available to best showcase its PLM solutions to customers and partners. These customers represent eleven industries, from the world's most prominent automotive and aerospace companies to consumer goods, construction and engineering industries.

Dassault Systèmes has added Barco as a Technology Partner through its alliance program, while Barco's customers have often used Dassault Systèmes' 3DVIA Virtools software on their display systems. Both companies also worked together on the Kheops project, which sought to raise industry awareness on the importance of 3D stereo visualization in collaborative applications for engineering or public purposes. The system Barco created for Dassault Systèmes is the world's first such system with seven native HD projectors, and superflat, high-contrast Barco screens.

Barco's immersive environment at Dassault Systèmes' global headquarters consists of seven three-chip DLP Galaxy NH-12 projectors, and is the first such system of its kind. Four projectors power the wide front screen, while two are used for the side screen, and an additional one for the floor. Barco's Galaxy NH-12 is the world's first active 3D stereo projector that offers Windows desktop integration. It boasts a light output of 12,000 lumens and a native 1080p HD resolution. Furthermore, the Galaxy NH-12 is designed for multi-channel operation, with built-in features that guarantee one seamless composite image free of color, light or geometry disturbances. Through integration with Barco's XDS Control Center software suite, the system's users can select, control and edit a multitude of sources simultaneously in a familiar Windows user environment.

In addition, Dassault Systèmes' 300-seat 3D auditorium is driven by a 9-meters wide Barco CADWall system with two Galaxy NH-12 projectors.

"We are very excited to start using Barco's immersive environment and 3D auditorium," states Barbara Tabb, Director of WW Alliance Operations for Dassault Systèmes, "Not only does this system create the right environment for our design software, it also shows that both we and Barco believe in the importance of 3D as a key building block for collaboration, PLM and innovation. If you are immersed in your design, construction or data, you suddenly get a much clearer insight in correlations between vital pieces of information. You will immediately see if the pieces of your design fit together well, or if some materials you want to use have the right look and feel."

What's the word on upgrading from Parallels 3 to Parallels 4? Is it a solid upgrade?

I've used Parallales 3 for the past year with good success -- it has its issues but has been largely stable since the revisions earlier this year. And Parallels 4 seems like it would run faster on my C2D MBP and the multi-monitor features would be a step up.

I've seen some of the negative reports on the Parallels forum, but every software release has some problems. Do these seem isolated, or the norm?

Thanks!

Après avoir lu que le projet Rockbox venait de sortir une nouvelle version stable, je me suis décidé à jeter un coup sur Rockbox et à l'installer sur mon baladeur MP3. Rockbox est un firmware alternatif sous license GPL, qui s'installe à côté du firmware original en modifiant le boot loader du baladeur.
Rockbox est écrit en C et en assembleur pour certaines routines low-level, et le résultat est très impressionnant. Je pensais notamment que l'interface serait plutôt complexe avec des dizaines d'options de configuration, mais non, même si les dizaines d'options de configuration sont là, les réglages par défaut sont corrects, le thème de base plutôt joli et l'interface intuitive.



Quel est l'intérêt d'un firmware libre en lieu et place de celui de iriver/archos/apple ? D'abord évidemment on pourra supporter les codecs supplémentaires ( ogg, flac ) que les lecteurs du marché n'embarquent pas. Ensuite comme dit précédemment, on dispose de beaucoup plus de thèmes et d'options de configuration, ce qui vous permet de personnaliser le mode de fonctionnement de votre vecteur MP3 très finement ( au niveau des fondus/enchainement, du fonctionnement des playlists, des réglages d'égalisation des fréquences) De plus Rockbox intègre en standard de nombreuses applications absentes d'un balladeur mp3 standard, depuis l'économiseur d'écran Matrix, au chronomètre, jusqu'à un port de Doom parfaitement fonctionnel, chose assez inattendue sur un baladeur mp3 de cinq ans d'age. Enfin Rockbox dispose d'un installateur graphique multi plateformes ( je l'ai testé sur Mac OS X ) et d'une excellente documentation utilisateur.

Rockbox montre que si les gros projets du libre (noyau Linux, X, Gnome, glibc ) sont maintenant essentiellement le fait de salariés d'IBM, Redhat, Novell, Nokia, ou Sun, les hackers indépendants peuvent aussi faire de bien belles choses !

lbicelyne has released a new version of the CPS1, CPS2, CPS3 and more emulator for the PSP, heres whats new:
081120: preV12_Demo4
The prototype version of the V12, the main function is to increase the on-line. There are many places to be improved. Like fresh friends can try and help in passing a test Bug.
A prototype of V12.Wifi game connection is added. It is not a formal release. If you find any bug, please reply to me.
1. To open wireless LAN switches, Wifi Game select a Host, alternative Client. Different host the best choice of different Controller. P2p can also choose to approach slowly and may be non-synchronous phenomena. All have the advantage of the screen shows.
1. Switch on wifi, One PSP choose host and others choose client in Wifi Game menu. You should also change your controller as well. There is no screen displayed on client PSP. P2P mode could work and all psps have display. But speed is very slow and may asynchronies.
2. Every machine with the option to enter a game. If it is on the way into the p2p model can choose Reset to a simultaneous game. The official version may be considered synchronous memory, do not need to Reset the entire game.
Every PSP choose the same game. If you are using p2p mode, please reset the game once to synchronies all psps. I am thinking about add ram copy in V12 formal release to avoid reset the game.
3. Not too much testing machine 2 in the operation of conditional friends can help to see Test.
There is no verification on more than 2 PSP. If you have, please help having a test.Download and Give Feedback Via Comments
