Let Windows Nerds around the world rejoice!
As of 03:40 PM Wednesday Jul 22, 2009 Windows Seven has gone official! Congratulations to the Windows 7 Team.

Can’t wait till it is released in stores now. Then my never ending journey to have the latest and greatest of everything can continue on….. and on…

Exerpt:
I am pleased to announce that Windows 7 has RTM’d!
As I mentioned previously, RTM officially happens only after sign-off occurs. What happens is a build gets designated as a RTM contender after going through significant testing and meeting our quality bar for RTM. Then, it goes though all the validation checks required for RTM including having all languages of that build completed. If all the validation checks have passed – sign-off for RTM can occur. Today after all the validation checks were met, we signed off and declared build 7600 as RTM.

Everyone knows that Intel shocked the tech market when it released it’s x25-m SSD which outperformed by an incredible margin all current SSDs on the market. Since then, other manufactuers have released SSDs that closed the performance gap, but most people and reviewers agreed that the Intel SSD was still the better drive.

Intel is now launching new 34nm (nanometer) SSDs as a new product, apparently even though this is a completely new product on a new manufacturing process, intel is keeping the model number the same: X25-M. (Editor’s Note: Way to go intel, you provide thousands of confusing model names for your CPUs, yet can’t pony up a new name for a completely new product….)

Despite the confusing naming that will most likely create confusion for consumers wanting to buy the new product, and will cause thousands to get screwed on ebay; The new product looks promising! It offers better write performance, some say it ‘doubles the write speed’ (I’ll wait for the benchmarks on that one..)

The new SSDs even comes in at a lower price. (Smaller nanonmeter processes usually provide more units per production run and make things cheaper.) Therefore the new 80GB x25-M is geared to come in at $220 which is very reasonable! especially since most likely it is the quickest thing on the market!

There is still no word of larger capacity drives from intel (wouldn’t a 320GB X25-M be awesome!) but these puppies are expected to be available starting today.

UPDATE: Riot! Riot! It appears that INTEL has announced TRIM support for the newer 34nm drives, yet states that the older x25-M versions won’t be given the TRIM goodness! It appears that there isn’t any real reason they can’t give the older x25-m SSD drives TRIM support other than they just don’t feel like it. They feel like you should buy one of the new ones…. Grrrr… Rabble Rabble.

P.S. Voice your opinion in the forums.

Windows 7 RTM Confusion

Confusion is Understandable

With the Windows 7 RTM (Release To Manufacturing) on the horizon, or wait, did it already happen, some people say yes, or wait the RTM build has leaked… or wait, Microsoft says it hasn’t RTMed Windows 7 yet… Oh wait the transcript of microsoft’s press conference says that “this morning we will release windows seven to manufacturing” oh wait, he really said “this month” but the transcript did stated “this morning”, oh wait.. it was ammended to say “this month”..
You can see that things are getting pretty out of hand especially with all the forum chatter and buzz.

I don’t intend to give the answers to the RTM confusion that is going on, but maybe clarify what it is that we do know.

So I finally updated the wordpress version on my site, from 2.3 RC1 to the latest wordpress. I am curious to see if security features work better, so I don’t get spam attempt emails every 5 minutes going forward. The backend design is pretty sweet, and looks very slick (see image)

Backend view.

Hopefully I will have some new content soon.
Projects on the horizon:

According to a few sources, Intel’s New Chip, the Q9450 should be out tomorrow (March 17th), although availablility might be limited, especially since this chip has the highest demand since the original 2006 release of the Conroe.

It looks like everybody’s favorite torrent tracker has bit the dust late last night/ early this morning. After a rocky past few months, having to relocate from their servers in the Netherlands, to what they thought would be a better location in Canada. But due to pressure from The CRIA, it looks like Demonoid’s hosting provider has stopped service. The server however is still pingable, although the website cannot be pulled up. Unfortunately, the trackers are down as well, and everyone’s upload stats will not be sent to demonoid, so if you were looking to raise your ratio, you won’t be doing that anytime soon, but please, keep seeding . We hope to hear of a new relocation from the operators of demonoid soon.

 (EDIT) Looks like demonoid is back, and they wont have to move, after being contacted by the CRIA, it looks like they will just have to block all canadian traffic. But demonoid is back!

(Double EDIT 11-01-2008)
Demonoid is now down again
