I was just looking for the YouTube video that is threatening to get Hamilton disqualified from his win in Japan and found this excellent clip of Massa vs Kubica, real wheel to wheel, pushing each other off track for corner after corner. Well worth a look for the 30 seconds it takes.
MacRumours are saying that a R/W ZFS preview has been made available to Apple ADC members to test. As an ADC member myself I can’t comment. But, ZFS is a fantastic, modern OS and would enhance MacOS in many different ways and would be easily extensible by 3rd parties. I am hoping someone brave will do a port of ZFS to Windows, although I fully realise that it could be a support nightmare for Microsoft and probably not advisable for the OS partition unless a major (like SUN) does the port and supports it. I live in hope ….
If you are also a Microsoft ISV partner you will have doubtless suffered the twisting turmoil of the continuosly changing support structures for TAP, EAP, Ascend and Touchdown programmes. It all started with the perfectly good and usable BetaPlace portal which got decomissioned in favour of the not so good (IMHO) Connect site which was mainly aimed at individuals, but partners have been shunted through a whole stream of not very good portals including BetaONE and AirFrame and now the worst yet, Metro.
Metro is in my opinion the ultimate example of how not to build a portal; its slow, badly designed, has awful colours, multi-click link steps and to cap it off, requires a manual to be able to use it! Anyway, the reason I’m writing about this today is that I had a small epiphany with it when I realised, despite signing up back in May, I could see no new content. I had registered, added my project and updated my details, but no info…
Turns out that you won’t see any of the info until you attach your own id back to the company project. Once I did that I could see all the materials, very slowly. For some reason the site uses something like a 5 point font which is almost invisible to the naked eye. So there might actually be something useful on there, but its so badly organised and time consuming I’ll probably never know. MS should talk to me about designing a really usable site.
Anyway, if you are a ISV partner using Metro and can’t see any materials, add yourself to your company project.
The HTC club site now has a WindowsMobile 6 download for the P3300 (http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx?fm=eu&ln=en), but sadly T-Mobile haven’t made it available on their site (http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com) for the MDA III.
No, not a multimedia extension to Distributed File System, but the music to the current DFS furniture store advert, is it this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tknrTkxBeU - ‘Be Gentle with me’ - Boy Least Likely To
A knid of Calvin Harris meets Harry Nilsson vs Oakenfold meets Neil Young fusion. Very nice anyway.
Update: Actually it turns out that the DFS advert music more likely to be an instrumental version of ’Colours’ by Calvin Harris.
