The full results of Q1 are expected on April 17. This means that roughly 1,500 employees will lose their jobs.


Though things are picking up, $1.5 billion revenue (22% increase compared to Q1 2007), it's still down 15% compared to the Q4 2007 and this will now have it's toll on employees as the company plans to reduce its workforce by 10% before the end of Q3. Now that's pretty friggin' sweet.Ĭhipset maked maker AMD yesterday issued a press-release with their Q1 financial results ending on march 29th. If it's not being faked, it looks like you move around by tilting your i Pod touch in different directions. It seems to support both multiplayer gaming and tilt controls. Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of seeing Doom/Quake games show up on everything from calculators to refrigerators too, but this port is a little special. Players of such a simple version of Quake 3 might also find it frustrating to have to tilt their device in all directions with light bouncing off the screen and into their eyes right when an enemy appears in front of their character Scott grabbed the icculus source and with a few modifications had it running pretty quick," says cam.Īs a FPS player (not a hardcore gamer though) I can't help but notice the slow input response and of course the limited view angles. "So we've been playing around with Quake 3 and Apple's iTouch. Hermitworks' Scott was able to port id Software's FPS in no time, using Apple's iTouch. While Quake 3 for iPod Touch / iPhone looks much more believable than the iPhone version of Mortal Kombat, it doesn't seem that the game is going to work as expected on either of the two platforms, should it see a public release. Initial SuperSpeed cables will feature both optical-fibre and copper wires at launch, but we suspect that due to keeping costs down, copper-based wires will be more widely used. This protocol won't change as SuperSpeed scales higher in speed.įurther, SuperSpeed uses two differential pairs to scale to 5Gbit's transfer speed, and that's available on cables up to three metres long. SuperSpeed, however, is interrupt-driven, meaning that it only talks to the host when ready to transfer, reducing the power profile. Thinking about power, incumbent USB 2.0 continuously polls the host, evaluating whether there's traffic, wasting energy, he noted. SuperSpeed USB, then, will primarily be best-leveraged with flash drives that can comfortably sustain transfers over 50MB/s. Ravencraft commented that SuperSpeed USB is architected for a five-year lifespan, where, in the same timeframe, flash-based drives will comfortably surpass magnetic drives' transfer speeds. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 will feature data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbit/s (640MB/s) - which is a lot more than HDDs can handle. Sources at last weeks IDF confirm that USB 3.0 is on track for deployment in Q2 2009. Why are you toying with us like this, Microsoft? Of course, this means that XP's cutoff will suddenly move even further down the line, which makes us wonder what the point of setting that June 2010 date was in the first place.

"As is standard with the release of a new product, we will be releasing early builds of Windows 7 prior to its general availability as a means to gain tester feedback," a spokesman for Microsoft said, downplaying Gates' statement. Microsoft wants to chill everyone out with the somber news that its got no plans to introduce Windows 7 any earlier than January 2010 (three years from the launch of Vista), and reassure us that crazy old Gates may have just been talkin' developer speak. Sure, Bill Gates just happened to mention that we'd see a new version of the OS "Sometime in the next year or so," but it's looking like that "or so" makes a world of difference. So if your pants / panties were in a "bunch" upon hearing news that Windows 7 would be headed into your ever-loving arms "next year," you might just want to hold off on those party invites for a little bit. Microsoft is backing off comments by chairman Bill Gates that the next version of Windows could be available as early as next year.
