PowerPC variant designed into many military systems
By Rick Merritt 04/23/2008
Apple Inc. may have to face the ire of the U.S. Department of Defense following its planned acquisition of P.A. Semi Inc. The startup’s PWRficient processor is designed into DoD programs in every major branch of the armed services, said one P.A. Semi customer who expects Apple will end production of the parts. “We’ve had customers saying they are going to the DoD on this one,” said a source in one of the several companies making embedded computer boards with the processor. The source said he is aware of more than 10 defense systems using the PWRficient CPU, one of which recently forecasted it will use 70,000 of the chips over the next ten years. The board company alone forecast it would sell $100 million in products based on P.A. Semi chips over the next four years. Users include defense giants such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, the source said.

Intel has unveiled two Mini-ITX-based motherboards, Elko and Fly Creek, for entry-level PC and multimedia PC markets, respectively. Elko will adopt Intel’s 945GC chipset, while Fly Creek will adopt its G35 chipset featuring the GMA X3500 graphics core for better multimedia performance. Tom Rampone, general manager of Intel Channel Platforms Group said there is market demand for smaller-size PCs, but current nettops do not meet the requirements for entry-level or multimedia markets.

Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer offered a glimmer of hope on Thursday to fans of the company’s Windows XP operating system, saying the company may reconsider its decision to stop selling it soon. But Ballmer was adamant that most people who buy PCs today buy them with XP’s successor, Vista. “That’s the statistical truth,” he told reporters at a news conference at Louvain-La-Neuve University. “If customer feedback varies, we can always wake up smarter.” Fans of XP – the six-year-old operating system set to be pulled off store shelves by June 30 – have plastered the Internet with blog posts, cartoons and petitions recently. They trumpet its superiority to Vista, whose consumer launch in January was greeted with lukewarm reviews. Ballmer said the customers buying PCs with XP are corporate information technology departments that are having trouble shifting old machines to newer technology. Some 160,000 people already have signed an online Save XP Web petition who want Microsoft to keep selling it until the next version of Windows is released, currently targeted for 2010.

The game’s official site has launched, and visitors are treated to the above trailer upon arrival — and as far as first impressions go, we’ll say that the graphics certainly do look good (a disclaimer at the start even promises that what we’re seeing is real in-game footage). Higher quality versions of the teaser can be found here. Of course, it takes more than just pretty graphics to have a successful MMO, and from looking at some of the proposed features of Mortal Online it would appear that the developers are well aware of this. The game will be played in first-person, and one of the primary focuses will be hardcore PvP, with a real-time combat system. Couple this with the fact that there will be no leveling at all, and you start to realize that we’re looking at a very different game here. Check out official website here –>Link |

It’s not often wireless music streaming comes as easily as AudioEngine’s AW1 makes it. Open the box, plug the transmitter and receiver in, select a track and press play. Audio across the room in…oh, under a minute. The AW1 pack comprises two almost identical units: the rocket-iconed transmitter and the planet-themed receiver. Geddit?!?! They’re both shiny black lozenges about the size of a box of matches with a standard-sized USB port at one end on a 1cm lead. AudioEngine also supplies a single, USB-ported AC adaptor and a trio of audio cables: two with a 3.5mm jack at either end, and a third that runs connects a 3.5mm jack to a pair of RCA stereo sockets. There’s an instruction sheet too, but we figure that, being Register readers, you won’t reach for that yet. We plugged the transmitter into a MacBook Pro and selected it as the machine’s sound output in Mac OS X’s Sound System Preferences pane. You’d do much the same with a Windows box. We plugged the receiver into the AC adaptor and cabled it to a pair of Logitech powered speakers. And, as we say, within 60 seconds of opening the box we had a variety of Bach cello concerti blasting out across the office, annoying more sensitively eared Vultures in the process.

Internet calling company Skype said on Monday that it would offer an unlimited long-distance calling service for customers who want to reach friends and family without computers or Internet access. Skype, owned by eBay, is one of the best-known Internet calling firms which allow free calls among Internet users. Users pay to call landlines and mobile phones, but the fee is often lower than standard long-distance services. The company said it was offering unlimited calls to landline and cell phones in the U.S. and Canada for $2.95 a month. It also offers unlimited calls to phones in 34 countries including Australia, China, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, for $9.95 per month, it said.

Unlike the ATI that we knew before, it appears that AMD’s graphics division is running perfectly these days – and ahead of deadlines. Even though the graphics unit has posted an $8 million loss in the first quarter of this year – in an effort to improve market share rather than average selling prices – the graphics business is making progress: We hear the company has struck gold with the RV770 and will be bring the chip to market earlier than expected.AMD’s next graphics cards are being prepared for launch: During the Q1 earnings call, president and chief operating officer Dirk Meyer stated that the company will roll out a significant number of products in May and our sources now confirmed that the introductions will include desktop and mobile (M88) graphics parts.
