CS3 is quite a bit faster on Intel Macs if you have huge files, like if you have a D2x or a 1DsM2, or if you open up your 350D/400D/20D/30D/D40/D50/D80 pics in “larger size” settings in Camera Raw, and if you use complicated filters on the entire image…

Our sources say that Facebook flatly rejected the $1 billion offer, looking for far more. Yahoo was prepared to pay up to $1.62 billion, but negotiations broke off before the offer could be made.

This is pretty cool idea, and it makes so much sense… I like the part where they have Jabber for your domain for GTalk too… I wonder why they didn’t hook up their Blogger service to this though…
Since my blog is at a subdomain, I could point my domain to this and keep the blog on my server, this way I won’t have to handle my mails (and spams)… well… I’ll think about it…
Get your people talking
Google Apps for Your Domain lets you offer private-labeled email, IM and calendar accounts to all of your users, so they can share ideas and work more effectively. These services are all unified by the start page, a new addition to this service, a unique, dynamic page where your users can preview their inboxes and calendars, browse content and links that you choose, search the web, and further customize the page to their liking. You can also design and publish web pages for your domain. If you already have a domain, it’s all free* and everything is hosted by Google. No hardware or software required. If you don’t have a domain yet we’ll help you register a new one for $10 a year.
You can choose any combination of these Google services

I use SkypeOut at home a lot since they made calls to US and Canada free, I mainly use it to call non-Verizon people doing peak hours and also to call customer service numbers that I expect to be put on hold for an extended period of time. Starting 2007 calls to non-tollfree numbers will no longer be free. I will still use it for toll-free CS numbers for sure… 30 bucks per year for unlimited US calls is not a bad deal if I use it enough… I was able to dial down the voice portion of my cellphone plan because of Skype… Actually I would use it a lot more if it worked well on my POS IBM ThinkPad work laptop, but it just doesn’t work very well, voice quality is shit on that thing, and it’s worse if I use it with a Bluetooth headset… and I refuse to bring in my own Mac to work just to use Skype…

Unlimited yearly calling will cost $29.95. If you purchase the plan before January 31, 2007, it will only cost $14.95. Without an unlimited plan, users can pay 2.1 cents per minute to calls within the U.S. and Canada, which is the same as the rate for international calls.

Nice! I just read at the FlickrBlog that now pro members get unlimited upload and free members get 100MB limit, up from 20MB!! That’s pretty awesome! I actually have never used up my 2GB monthly limit there, not even when I migrated more than 2k pictures from my old snapshot gallery.
I guess maybe Zooomr had something to do with this, competition is a good thing!
the two gigabyte monthly limit is no more (yep, pro users have no limits on how many photos they can upload)! At the same time, we’ve upped the limit for free account members as well, from 20MB per month up to 100MB (yep, five times more)!

I was reading the discussions on the CS3 post at AppleInsider, I was gonna reply but forum user Chucker posted exactly what I would’ve said… Ming just picked up a MacBook Pro and he’s been running CS2 on it, emulating PPC binaries, and he said it is not slow at all.
Public beta of Adobe Creative Suite 3 may boost Mac sales – AppleInsider
- Anyone with half a clue easily saw the writing on the wall that CodeWarrior was going away, especially when Motorola didn’t even put any effort into PPC970 support.
- Apple had been recommending people to move to Xcode Tools for many, many years.
- It is perfectly possible to compile a Universal Binary without Xcode. All you need is lipo, which Xcode calls into anyway, and two compilers (duh).

If you’ve read this blog for a while you might notice I haven’t been posting stuff from other sites/blogs on here as often, this is because I’ve switched to using Google Reader and I’ve been sharing links with the sharing feature in Google Reader. Until FeedBurner adds the capability to burn GReader shares into my main RSS feed, you can look at my GReader shares here, and there is a feed for the shared items here. For those who still comes here with a web browser, there is a “clip” on my shared items on the left sidebar as well, below the categories…
Nice, a CDMA one for me please…
AppleInsider | Digg founder spills beans on Apple iPhone?
In the latest episode of his weekly podcast, Digg founder Kevin Rose claims some knowledge of Apple Computer’s initial iPhone product.
According to Rose, the extremely compact device will work with both CDMA and GSM networks, making it compatible with all of the most popular wireless carriers, such as Verizon, Sprint, Cingular and T-Mobile.
Apple is also doing “some unique things” with the device, he said, like building in two separate batteries — one for the music player portion and the other for the actual phone.
Rose, who has provided accurate information on Apple products in the past, added that Apple is likely to introduce two models of the phone: a $249 4GB model and a $449 8GB model.
It should be noted that his past predictions on Apple products have come within hours, not months, of the formal introduction for those products.
Still, Rose appeared high in his convictions, even adding that a touch-screen may also be in the cards for the face of the device.
A copy of this week’s Diggnation podcast is available here.
