Kiwi students being ‘put off’ computing
Geekzone – May 30, 2008
i guess finding GPL drivers can be hard sometimes but most use postscript. Learning to refil the paper etc?Complete basic operate and matinenance proceduresignoring teh bad grammer – this is remembering to do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? Migration to a new HD when you’ve got too much divx etc?Demonstrate knowledge of ergonomic principlesYes S is bad. Throughout the doc it refers to “system software”. I’m not sure what this means it’s ambigious. Further on they use the phrase “perating System Software” so i conclude they meant to say “perating System”. What’s missing? I’d like to see students doing1.
Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ81 Freesat TV Preview
TrustedReviews – May 30, 2008
The Ethernet port in that Philips TV allowed you to stream video from external sources directly to the TV with support built-in for DivX and Xvid. Unfortunately there’s no support for video streaming via the Ethernet port in the TH-46PZ81 and no built-in video codec support but Panasonic did say that this feature could well appear in the next generation of products.

on my old P3 it was the only one that gave smooth playback of pretty much all DivX files as it was so light on system resources. This was while back when it was simple clean freeware. I looked at it again a year or so ago and it was all bloated and covered in adverts.
Eee Box leak: “finally” a Mac mini rival

11n Wi-Fi Bluetooth and gigabit Ethernet. In contrast to the Mac however the Eee Box will have a near-instant pre-boot environment: the Linux-based ExpressGate from some other ASUS mainboards will let users browse photos or the web make Skype calls and handle instant messages through Pidgin without starting up into the full desktop operating system. Early testing also shows the Atom to be surprisingly quick given its low-end focus with the inexpensive chip still capable of playing 720p HD video in H. 264 and higher for less intensive formats like DivX. ASUS outfits the Eee Box with 1GB of RAM a 160GB hard drive and DVI out. The price and release date are still unavailable despite the leak though the site notes that there will be three different trim levels in black and white colors. Most observers now plan for a sub-$300 starting price tag.
