Exact Audio Copy is a so called audio grabber for audio CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives. The main differences between EAC and most other audio grabbers are:

• It is free (for non-commercial purposes)
• It works with a technology, which reads audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can’t be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player

With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquer these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and AccurateRip.

Micron Introduces Industry’s Highest Density DDR3 Components and Modules. New 2Gb Component Enables Up to a 16GB Server Memory Module and a 4GB Desktop and Notebook PC Memory Module.

Boise, Idaho , Tuesday, October 30, 2007 – Building on its heritage of innovation in DRAM technology, Micron Technology, Inc., today announced the industry’s first 2 gigabit (Gb) double data rate (DDR) 3 component. Micron’s newest DRAM innovation is the highest density DDR3 component available on the market.

By using 2Gb components, Micron can enable 8 gigabyte (GB) and 16GB modules for servers and 4GB modules for desktop and notebook PCs, which are the industry’s highest density DDR3 modules available. This increase in memory density is ideal for optimizing today’s memory intensive operating systems. Micron is now sampling modules based on its 2Gb DDR3 component for server, desktop and notebook applications.

Commercial availability for the product is planned for the first quarter of 2008.

This video clip is just a taste of Photosynth Technology. The possibilities of the uses of this program are endless. The speaker barely scrapes the surface.

You might need a few more gigabytes of RAM but who cares. In 3 years it’s standard anyway right…?

The following video displays a few exercises to increase flexibility and, for most of us, should NOT be tried at home

Incredible!

In April 2007, A List Apart and An Event Apart conducted a survey of people who make websites. Close to 33,000 web professionals answered the survey’s 37 questions, providing the first data ever collected on the business of web design and development as practised in the U.S. and worldwide.

33,000 responses is a lot of data. To make sense of it, An Event Apart commissioned statisticians Alan Brickman and Larry Yu to translate raw data into meaningful findings. The findings are now nicely presented in a 80+ pages PDF presentation.

The findings we present here have never been seen before, because until now, no one has ever conducted public research to learn the facts of our profession. This report is not the last word on web work; it is only the beginning of a long conversation. Read, reflect, and let us hear from you.
