The World is Flawed

One can't help but continue with the iPhone theme - recent, though unconfirmed reports suggest that Germany will be seeing the 3G 16gig unit early November for round about 500Euros. 500Euros equals how many Big Macs now?

More good news...the hooha over RFID chips? You know, the thing that was dubbed the next best thing back in '05? Of course, back then we ignored the fact that Orwell's imaginary world was slowly transforming into reality, but now that's not the only concern - "leading cancer specialists" fear that these chips can / may cause tumors. So what shall we utilize these convenient units for?

But alas, alls not wrong with this world. AMD has finally launched the quad-core Opteron - about damn time eh? Agreed that they've been beaten by Intel as far as speed is concerned, but the global demand to go green, correlated with the power saving characteristics of Barcelona, surely its game on. With HP / Sun and co. looking to launch 50 plus products over the course of the next fortnight, this 512k of L2 cache with 2MB shared has just heated things up - sadly though, the top 2GHz unit is so hot, it may just burn a whole in your wallet.

An edit to this post - more good news! Firefox has hit 400million downloads! Hats off to the establishment, and kudos to the plethora of users who have tried, and found themselves addicted to this beauty of a browser. At the other end of the spectrum, Krispy Kreme has slumped further in the red...
