As Neowin had previously reported, Amazon has unveiled its larger screened Kindle as predicted. The device boasts a 9.7 inch screen that rotates when
the device is turned, a bump in storage space to 3.3GB, and a PDF reader but the real show stopper is the price at $489.00 The device will be
subsidized by major newspaper outlets on contract although there is one restriction. You can only get the device subsidized if you live in a region
where you can't get home delivery which means most will have to pay full retail. The Kindle DX will ship this summer and is up for pre-order

06.05.2009Confirmed: Windows 7 set to RTM on July 13th
Earlier today the guys over at GeekSmack.net "confirmed" that Windows 7 was set to RTM(Release to market) on July 13, which also coincides with
Wzor's unconfirmed rumor last month. A few minutes ago sources close to the company, who wish to remain anonymous, have confirmed to Neowin that
Windows 7 is indeed set to RTM on July 13. After a year of furious beta testing and continuous leaks every other week, Microsoft is finally ready to
give Windows 7 the green light to hit the market. Currently the Windows 7 team is working on polishing off the RTM build so that no show-stopper bugs
are present in Windows 7.

03.01.2008Windows 7 RTM contains a rather nasty chkdsk bug
Windows 7 RTM, which will be distributed to MSDN/TechNet and technical beta testers tomorrow, contains a nasty memory leak when the chkdsk command is
initiated. The bug occurs when the CHKDSK /R command is initiated on a non-system volume. Memory usage of the chkdsk.exe process soars until the
system is using over 90% physical memory. In some cases this will cause the system to become unresponsive and unstable. Some are calling the bug a
"show stopper", whilst others (Randall Kennedy) claim it could derail the Windows 7 launch. It's worth noting that Kennedy claimed in November
2008 that Microsoft had delayed the Windows 7 beta to early 2009, even though company officials always stated this was the case.

Earlier today Neowin reported that Windows 7 build 7232 had leaked. What a difference a few more hours makes, now 7260 has leaked and the Russian site
Wzor claims that Microsoft will build the RTM (release to manufacturing) build between June 15-19. If Wzor is correct, and that's a big if and
rumour, then we may see the final Windows 7 RTM build ready this weekend. Internal sources indicate that 7260 is still the latest build under the
win7_rtm branch. Build 7260 carries the tag 7260.win7_rtm.090612-2110 and is an RTM escrow build meaning vigorous testing will commence to ensure this
is the final code unless there are show stopper bugs.

29.01.2009Apple's Leopard rejects latest version of Java
Apple faces yet more flack from the Mac faithful over the discovery that the operating system won't run the latest version of Java. It's one of
several beefs relating to the OS X upgrade that is sparking vitriol among the normally docile crowd.
Leopard may have 300 new
features, but it is unable to run Java 1.6, even though that same version is available for both Windows and Linux. That has taken some Mac users by
surprise, including some on
this user forum on
Apple's website. Several users there say 1.6 is so central to the development work they do on a daily basis that they will be forced to use an OS
other than Leopard if it remains incompatible.
"This is a show stopper for me, and I will have to revert to 10.4, since my job
as a software engineer for Sun requires Java 6--this will likely prevent a lot of people from upgrading, and there's a well represented Mac userbase
at Sun," a user going by the name buckmelter wrote. 10.4 is a reference to Tiger, the OS X predecessor to Leopard.

29.10.2007In Tokyo, arcade games use real cars
Picture this. You are strapped down in a full-scale Toyota Trueno, Subaru Impreza WRX or Mazda RX7, sweaty palms on steering wheel. Your eyes fixated
on what's beyond the windscreen, desperately trying to "drift" your way through the narrow Japanese countryside roads. If all these sound all too
familiar to you, yes, we are referring to the Japanese cult anime Initial D . Now Sega is redefining the arcade gaming experience with its
Initial D Arcade Stage 4 Limited system.
This life-sized motion simulator has all three of the above-mentioned vehicles
each lined up in front of a giant projection screen and installed with a moving platform. The level of detail is truly out of this world. Imagine real
vehicle chassis, authentic racing wheels and even bucket seats! It's a pity some of the in-car instruments are non- functional, though we doubt it
will be a major show-stopper for diehard manga fans.

02.11.2007Another Vista Activation Crack Appears
Buzz about a Windows Vista
zero-day vulnerability is
troubling enough (although
probably overblown). Now,
there appears to be a second
product activation hack, this
one designed to fool the
activation timer into not
counting down. The activation
hack is quite different from
the first one, which involved
setting up a Key Management
Service server. Microsoft also
released an update blocking
hybrid testing/final Vista
"Monster" code that could
bypass product activation.
"Recently it has been
reported that activation of
Microsoft's Windows Vista
operating system has been
compromised," a Microsoft
spokesperson said in a
statement in response to a
Microsoft Watch inquiry.
"Microsoft is investigating
this reported activation
breach; however, there is no
concrete evidence that this
breach has been automated to
the point that it is widely
deployable." The not "widely
deployable" statement, while
likely true, isn't denial of
an actual activation breach.
I've read
instructions, which I won't
link to, and comments from
people successfully trying the
so-called Time Stopper hack; I
haven't tested it and
wouldn't because of possible
security breach when applying
a downloaded crack as part of
the process. As the Microsoft
spokesperson acknowledged,
there are reports about the
crack, which requires setting
a computer's BIOS clock to
2099. The hack does work on
32-bit Windows Vista
installations but not
necessarily 64-bit versions.
The process requires some
other Windows changes and
eventual clock reset from
within Vista leading to a
perpetual state of 30 days to
activation.

19.11.2008Is a time machine possible?
A bit off topic but
interesting
nevertheless...
Amos Ori, a
professor at Israel's
Technion, has published a
paper in Physical
Review outlining a model
of a theoretical time machine.
Conceivably, these ideas could
one day help humans travel
back in time.
The concept revolves
around controlling the
curvature of space and time.
Einstein's theory of
relatively states that the
space/time continuum can be
flat, but it can also be
curved by gravitational
fields. Ori is investigating
whether the laws of gravity
will permit curving space and
time in such a way as to make
travel possible.
"The machine is
spacetime itself," he stated
in a prepared statement.
"Today, if we were to create
a time machine, an area with a
warp like this in space that
would enable time lines to
close on themselves, it might
enable future generations to
return to visit our time.

11.12.2008Leopard Allegedly Facing Java Problems
Early adopters of Apples newly released OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system may soon have a sour taste in their mouth as reports file in that users are
unable to work with the latest version of the Java programming language. Following the release of OS X Leopard on Friday evening, threads began to
appear in Apples support forum where numerous users reported that code written in Java 1.6 (also known as Java 6) failed to execute. The problem
allegedly lies in an outdated version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), an application that allows OS X to interpret and run Java code. Java 1.6 was
officially released in December 2006, but Leopard reportedly supports only Java 1.4 due to Apples insistence on developing the JVM themselves, rather
than allow Sun to do it. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
Users on Apples support forums are, to say the least, a bit miffed
at the development. " This is a show stopper for me, and I will have to revert to 10.4, since my job as a software engineer for Sun requires
Java 6, " wrote one user. " This will likely prevent a lot of people from upgrading. " Users were further angered when many of
the threads about the issue were reportedly deleted from Apples support forum without explanation.
