ATI/Catalyst 8.1 white dot

January 24th, 2008

If you’ve upgraded you ATI driver’s for the latest available version (Catalyst 8.1), you’ve probably spotted a white dot in the top-left corner of your screen, right?

Don’t like it? Disable ATI tray icon and the dot will be gone too!
Now..  what the hell was that for?

Looking for a new video card?

Don’t buy an AMD Radeon!

Some AMD’s R680 (Radeon HD 3870 X2) benchmarks:

shoes_r680_bioshock9

shoes_r680_bioshock10

shoes_r680_crysis

shoes_r680_tf2

With these results, Nvidia still has no competition in the medium/high performance market.

Apple, DRM, QuickTime & Adobe

Apple: fucking costumers with style!

PC:"Hi. I’m a PC."
MAC:"Hi I’m a Mac I’m a Mac I’m a Mac I’m a Mac"
PC:"Gee Mac, looks like your video is stuck in a loop"
MAC:"I know. I installed an update to QuickTime and now I can’t edit videos anymore!"

Firmware update on Vodafone Duplex ADSL SpeedTouch

January 13th, 2008

Last night, Vodafone performed a remote firmware update (ver. 7.4.1.7) on their ADSL-bundled modem/routers (SpeedTouch 516v6).

The only real problem is that with the new firmware, the tiny SpeedTouch is now even more locked than before while there’s no real advantage for the consumer!

There’s still no bridge mode!
In fact, they’ve removed an option that should have permitted lan devices to handle the public IP instead of the modem/router despite that setting never seemed to work..
From now on, you also cannot access the modem thru telnet since the new firmware disabled the option to grant WAN & LAN admin options to created users, making impossible to play around with some settings explained earlier in this blog.

The only visible improvement from the previous version is the bandwidth displayed in the DSL connection tab:

  Poor service from Vodafone if you ask me!
