New portables this week?

Powerpage.org repeats quite insistantly Apple will renew their Powerbook line this week.
They don't talk about G5, but bet on faster G4s, with bigger HD.

Something is brewing at Infinite Loop

Right now, the French Refurb Store is still open!!! That's the first time ever since the opening of this section of the Applestore... Like the previous days, there are iMacs, laptops and screens. One of our readers has received his laptop which looked brand new, appart from the box: there was no OS installed, nor any hint of it having been used before.
Without moving to the dark side of rumor spreading, it's easy to think that Apple might be using the Refurb to get rid of EOL products before a major product announcement.
In any case, the good bargains are here:
French refurb store.
and for our US readers:
US refurb store.

DiscRecordingEngine hacking for the dummies

many thanks to Rench for cleanly concluding our works...

Just a quick message to tell you I've created a small package called DiscRecording Activator, which installs the DiscRecordingEngine hacked by your good works and which will soon also allow to install DeviceProfiles for the various manufacturers (right now it only works for my own burner... so I need some input from the Hardmackers here)

Get it here:
DiscRecordingActivator.dmg.sit
With Patchburn2, you can easily create a profile for your own burner. Combining those two hacks, your burner will be recognized by the system at the manufacturer level.

2010: terabytes odyssey

Seagate is to announce a new recording technology for hard disks, dubbed "Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording".
This technology does not differ fundamentally from that used currently, only that the exact location where data is being written is heated. That allows writing on the disk with weaker magnetic fields, and thus more precise...
The plans are to allow for disks storing several terabytes!
