A New HDR Benchmark Is Coming To Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| This new benchmark, which can be found in 
| the Phoronix Test Suite once its released, 
| will focus on SDR/HDR performance. This 
| should end up being a rather nice test 
| profile as right now it's completely 
| slaughtering the ASUS Eee PC 1201N and other 
| systems being tested remotely through 
| Phoromatic.

Psystar Giving Up Mac in Favor of Linux

| Mac offerings in favor of a move toward 
| Linux systems.

Mean Time To Repair

,----[ Quote ]
| The article admitted that the #2 and #3 
| "application programs" ("Adobe" and 
| "Microsoft") reported were "closed source" 
| and that "open source" programs tend to show 
| all the blemishes, not just the ones 
| reported by their customers, and reflected 
| back through visible reports by the 
| companies. To be even fairer, I would point 
| out that comparing "Firefox" with all of the 
| applications that Adobe has and all of the 
| applications Microsoft has is a bit like 
| apples and oranges....but that is not the 
| main concept I will try to get across in 
| this blog entry.

Psystar halts sales of Mac cloning tool, will peddle Linux PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| Mac clone maker Psystar last week indefinitely
| suspended sales of its only product, a $50
| utility that lets customers install Apple's
| Snow Leopard operating system on generic
| Intel-based computers.
|
| The company also said it would resume selling
| systems "in the coming days." Those machines
| will run Linux rather than Mac OS X.
