Free, one of the major French ISP, is testing a new file sending procedure.
http://dl.free.fr/ is a kind of FTP where you can upload a large file, up to 1 GB.
Once the file is uploaded, a link is generated and can be sent to your contacts.
There are of course some limits:
- non Free-customers users of this service will have limited bandwidth.
- One can only send files one by one.
- Files not downloaded within 24hours are automatically deleted.
So, it is a procedure to transfer quickly large files via the net. For sure, it will please customers and Printing Companies; making their data transfer easier.
Plextor, the first company to release a drive to burn single layer DVD media at 18x, is now announcing a drive able to burn double layer DVD media at 10x.
But both features are not compatible, since the PX-755 only uses the standard 16x burning speed for DVD media.
Plexor does not manufacture the mechanical parts of its drives, it only tries to get the best out of it.

But the time when it was easy to work inside of an iMac is over.
According to
Engadget, Dell will be adding a 30" monitor to their catalog on December 21st. It's resolution is identical to the Apple at 2560x1600. It will have a USB hub and a 9 in 1 card reader.
Dell has always had an aggressive price position, so there is a good chance that it will be significantly cheaper than the Apple 30" display.
In order to not be outdone, our favorite manufacturer needs to retake the leadership of having the largest monitor in its catalog.
The speculation is running wild. 32"? 36"? 42"? Dual DVI makes it possible to have a theoretical resolution of 3840x2400 which leaves a wide margin available to expand.
There are not a lot of simulation games on the Mac, which is why many members informed us of the update to X-Plane.
Kurt passed on the following info:
Version 8 of the simulator is great, but most impressive is the DVD containing the terrain of the entire world...

In addition, Austin and his team are obviously pro-Mac... I like that. : => http://www.x-plane.com/weapon.html
