ISO's slowly
Microsoft has warned public
beta testers to burn
downloaded Vista ISOs to disc
at speeds as slow as 1X or 2X
in order to get a reliable
burn.
It says a
key reason behind installation
failure of Vista is that many
DVD burners cannot reliably

speed.

interesting tidbit was

Vista Beta 2 (build 5456.5;

20.06.2007New RealPlayer allows YouTube video download
http://www.realnetworks.com/>R
eal Networks has announced a
new version of their
RealPlayer today that will be
available as a PC-only public
Beta in June. The player
allows users to download and
organize nearly all embedded
internet video content (Flash,
WMV, QuickTime) including
content from popular video
sites like YouTube, Comedy
Central and Cnet.
The
player was demonstrated for me
and actually looks pretty
impressive. The new video
download feature integrates
fairly elegantly into your Web
browser (yes, it works on
Firefox). It works by
temporarily displaying a
small, fairly unobtrusive
download tab in the right top
corner of any video content it
detects on a given Web page.
It's even able to record
streaming internet video in
real time.
It looks
like a great improvement over
the slow, intrusive RealPlayer
I remember. One feature it
lacks, however is the ability
to export your downloaded
video content to an
iPod-compatible format. You
can, however, use RealPlayer
burn your downloaded videos to
CD and if you pony-up some
money for RealPlayer Plus,
they give the ability to burn
video content to DVD. Some
small improvements have also
been made to speed up the
load-time of the application
and cut-out many of the
annoying installation
questions.

01.06.2007Yahoo: Burn Your DRMed Tracks to CD Now
Yahoo has become the latest company to abandon customers who bought tracks from its music store encoded with DRM (digital rights management), drawing
fire from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
On Sept. 30, Yahoo will shut down the servers that are needed to reauthorize music
purchased from its failed Unlimited Music Store if it is transferred to a new PC, Yahoo said in an e-mail to customers. The rule to designed to slow
music piracy. Re-authorization is also needed if someone upgrades their PC's operating system.
The only workaround for customers
wanting to listen to their music on a new or upgraded computer after this date is to burn the tracks to a CD and then reload them on a PC.

05.03.2009Samsung and Microsoft work to speed up SSDs
A few weeks ago SanDisk slated Windows Vista for not being optimized for SSD (Solid State Drive) storage hardware.
"As soon as you
get into Vista applications in notebook and desktop, you start running into very demanding applications because Vista is not optimized for flash
memory solid-state disk”. Said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Eli Harari
SandDisk’s solution is to develop a new
controller technology which will overcome these limitations but could take upto a year to reach the market.
Now according to
PCworld Samsung has been in talks with Microsoft to increase the performance of SSDs using Vista
and other MS OSes.
The speed and way in which SSDs fetch and cache data are different than hard drives, said Michael Wang, flash marketing
manager at Sun.
Standard magnetic hard drives have a 512kb cluster size where as SSDs only have a 4kb cluster size. Samsung hopes to work
with Microsoft to boost SSD performance on Windows by discovering optimal packet sizes for data transfers and the best ways to read and write files,
for example.
SSDs have been hailed as the future storage medium for PC’s and internet connected devices, citing speed, power use and
durability.
