more wibble

also I was in Boston, and I went to the building pictured here, but I like the alternate droid view: here
Did I mention that Panasonic have invented a longer longer lasting oxyride battery (than your bog standard alkaline) review here.
CherryOS may be something to keep googling for in May. Aparently PearPC (a free + open source PowerPC emulator, which happens to run Mac OS X) didn't like the fact that CherryOS was basically modifying open source software but not re-releasing the changes - it costed something like 30 quid.
The next edition of macos X (10.4) is coming out around the end of april (priced at around 90 quid, for the whole OS), for a free demo, just visit your local 'apple store'(tm) (oh you probably don't have one.) Anyway, expect a whole heap of erm.. 'marketing' about widgets. In theory they're meant to be pretty easy to program. (ie; like javascript is easy to program)
Hey also did you hear? 'Epiacenter.com just published a review on the brand-new VIA Epia SP 13000 mini-itx mainboard'... 'together with the new EpiOS Linux distribution that is announced in the review, it seems to have a very good performance during MPEG2/MPEG4 playback' So good one Josh.
more dual core intel processors reviewed here
Time to do windows update again (April 13) see here for details.

yeah those batteries look/sound good - but high power rechargable nimh batteries will be better for the environment.

my rechargable batteries are Ni-Cad 1.2v 0.65 Ah. That doesn't seem like alot. where do you get high capacity ones from, and do they do 1.5 volts?

Matt said...

ahh. the power of kelkoo (and amazon). Just type in NiMH and there's your answer. 9 pound for 4 x 2350mAh. try this link

ooh and battery-force (http://www.battery-force.co.uk/bf/detail/FAAANI004C/show.html) they do many brands NiMH batteries (4xAA 2500mAh for just over a tenner.)
