DDRII production increases

Taiwanese Memory manufacturers are getting into DDRII business (under the pressure from Intel). Now, 8.6 millions memory chips are produced every month in those fabs. But we are still far away from the production capacities for the current DDR.
It is still not clear how the transition will be done, from DDR400 to DDRII, or from DDR500 to DDRII...DDR500 is currently faster and cheaper that the first DDRII modules
On ignore toujours si l'on s'oriente vers un passage de la DDR 400 à la DDR II, ou si l'on va devoir faire un passage par la DDR 500, plus rapide et moins chère que les premiers modèles II.

Apple: how to surprise consumers and innovate

By linathael. Original by Lionel - 08/06/2004 10:09:07 CEST - Category: Apple
The release yesterday of the Airport Express device has one more time demonstrated how Apple can innovate and surprised us. It is for sure the AirTunes function of this device which is the most interesting one. We know that many of you have already ordered this fascinating device, as we will do it too.
We think that it is also the occasion to remind you that one of our readers, Michel, has written an article on how to add a "Jack"-type plug to an iSub USB (in French only):

Thank you Pamelahute
Starting April 27,
The click, and all its possible combinations, as long as they are applied to a pocket computer with "limited capabilities", i.e. a PDA like device

are patented by Microsoft. Software editors will be constrained to pay Microsoft no matter what kind of click their applications require. Pathetic... Thankfully, this is only in effect in the United States and Japan. (For now)
