Ubuntu 7.10 Released. Ubuntu's New 'Gutsy Gibbon' Brings Linux Out of the Jungle http://www.ubuntu.com/ to download... "Gutsy Gibbon is certainly easier to install and set up than Windows Vista, and it's very close to matching Mac OS X when it comes to making things "just work" out of the box.

"When it comes to finding and installing applications, the Add/Remove Programs feature in Ubuntu surpasses both Windows and Mac OS X. Whereas Windows and Mac users usually need to comb the web for popular applications for their newl…

The built-in "boxes and ragdolls" physics engine was significantly improved especially to make it more network friendly. The networking code was also changed to reduce the amount of information being passed around, with Area of Relevance being the biggest change. In this system the engine will break networking traffic in a Level of Detail fashion not too different from what graphics cards do, with fall back positions of varying network fidelity as entities get farther away or occluded. The engine is also fairly threaded with many sub-systems like sound, bot A.I., MegaTexture and the rend…

Crossfire X driver comes tomorrow Giuseppe Amato, the Director of Value Proposition team at DAAMIT EMEAI, has just confirmed that Crossfire X, or Catalyst 8.3, will launch tomorrow. This new driver will feature Hybrid graphics at the same time. The driver will support 44X AntiAlising mode and two cards should actually end up much faster than a single one. We don’t know how it scales but we will tell you after CeBIT. Triple and quad GPU are possible, and you can mix and match ATI's Radeon HD 3800 series. PowerPlay will be the part of that driver. Well, it comes tomorrow, and we will know much more soon.

Message to Daniel_K Daniel_K: We are aware that you have been assisting owners of our Creative sound cards for some time now, by providing unofficial driver packages for Vista that deliver more of the original functionality that was found in the equivalent XP packages for those sound cards. In principle we don't have a problem with you helping users in this way, so long as they understand that any driver packages you supply are not supported by Creative. Where we do have a problem is when technology and IP owned by Creative or other companies that Creative has licensed from, are made to run on other products for which they are not intended. We took action to re…
