10.08.2007AMD release OpenGL ES 2.0 emulator for the PC
AMD have released an emulation
environment for developers to
start creating OpenGL ES 2.0
applications using the PC,
before their supporting
hardware in the handheld space
starts to ship.
From the
emulator's
page on
ati.amd.com/developer:
"AMDs
OpenGL ES 2.0 Emulator is
designed to emulate
functionality that will be
exposed by future mobile AMD
hardware. The purpose of this
emulator is to aid developers
in their design of OpenGL ES
2.0 games and applications.
The emulator allows developers
to get a head start designing
their graphics code before
hardware supporting OpenGL ES
2.0 is available, and even
after this hardware becomes
available developing on a PC
is often advantageous due to
superior developer and
debugging tools."
Currently
the emulator only runs on
Windows XP, and it requires
SM2.0 hardware as a minimum
for acceleration. It supports
EGL 1.3, requires Visual
Studio 2005 to be installed
and AMD recommend the latest
Catalyst driver release for
best results. They haven't
tested on the competitor's
hardware yet.

Brandon LeBlanc: Your Windows Live ID is essentially your online identity for all of the Windows Live services, Xbox Live, Zune and other third party

The Windows Live Team is at it again. Following the major release of the Windows Live Essentials release 3 days ago, the team has released Windows
Live Solution Center. The name is quite a cache though. Most would assume that the website would provide solutions for users using all of the Windows
Live products and services. However, the main focus of the new solution center at the moment is Windows Live Hotmail. The Windows Live team has stated
that more services will be covered in the new solution center at a later date, but that doesn't mean you absolutely cannot ask for help with other

02.08.2006@Live.com e-mail Addresses Information
Looks like we finally have
heard some news on when
@live.com e-mail addresses
will be released. Jacky Mok,
another Product Manager for
Windows Live in Toronto, has
posted some information saying
when they will be released, he
says will be available "in
the fall", along with "a
rich family of products"
around the same time.
According to the blog entry
on
livechronicl
es.spaces.live.com, there
will be no migration of
address names from current
hotmail addresses, so if you
have blank@hotmail.com,
there's no guarantee you will
get blank@live.cam. It's
still on a first come, first
served basis like every other
e-mail services. Apparently
country code addresses will
only be available in countries
outside the US, so that a
Canadian will be able to get
an @live.ca address, but not
an @live.com one.

21.04.2008Windows XP SP3 Released To Small Group (Updated)
In addition to the
previously
reported Windows Vista SP1
drop to testers, Microsoft
has just recently (few days
ago) dropped a copy of Windows
XP Service Pack 3 in the lap
of the same small group of
testers.
Coming in at less than
350MB, the service pack
includes fixes for over 900
reported problems, some of
which have already been
resolved with post-Service
Pack 2 hotfixes.
For the hardcore
build string collectors, this
build is tagged 5.1.2600.3180
(xpsp.070718-2058) (Thanks
again C).
Given the close proximity
of the two betas we guestimate
both 'packs will be released
simultaneously. We'll let you

solid release date.
