this discussion happened somewhere in front me

[x (note small x)] what is difference between Windows and Mac-OS

[X (note Capital X)] the Mac-OS runs on Motorola CPU while Windows runs on Intel CPU Only

[xt] ooh, thats mean that you cant use Motorola proccessor without Mac-OS

[X] sure , Mac-OS need it to run , Intel cant do that

[Me (!thinking!)] "oh my God, AMD CPUs cant run windows XP "

[x] this mean that Windows is faster than Mac coz it runs on Intel P4 Double Cacshe ?

[X] hmm, Some thing like that

[x] So, we can say that Windows is more Reliable?

[Me] (raising up my hand)

[X] yes?

[Me] but as I know there is a Versions of Mac-OS runing over X86 Machines

[X] ( surprise ) I dont know , I saw Windows, Unix, and Linux but never seen Mac-OS

[Me (with a Question Mark over my Head)] I think he mean that he never get a Launch in Mc-donalds- so he didnt get any POSTER with a MAC signature!!!

Microsoft lines up eight different Vista versions

MARY JO Foley at Microsoft Watch said the Vole has created a total of eight versions of future OS Vista.

That number includes two "N" versions without Windows Media Player, as required by the European Commission.

One of the versions is called "Ultimate".

First Mac OS X Virus? Apple Says No

Loyalists on both sides of the Mac versus Windows debate shot into action Thursday following news that the first virus had been spotted for Apple's operating system. The malware, dubbed Leap.A, spreads through iChat and infects local applications. But Apple downplayed the threat, saying malicious software is different from a virus.

According to security firm F-Secure, Leap.A is simply a standard executable compiled for Mac OS X. It is distributed as an archive called latestpics.tgz. "First it drops an icon resource and an external hook bundle which is used for spreading through iChat," the company said in an advisory.

Once Leap.A is activated, when any iChat user changes his or her status, the worm initiates a file transfer for the latestpics.tgz archive. The file transfer takes place in the background and is hidden from the user.

In addition, the malware replaces all applications that have been used in the last month with itself, saving the original executable as a resource fork with the same filename. According to F-Secure, "When the application is opened the worm activates first, then it runs the original application from the resource fork."

Leap.A first cropped up on a MacRumors forum, purportedly as a screenshot of Mac OS X 10.5, code-named Leopard. Security vendors including McAfee and Symantec have labeled the file a "low-level threat" and experts have largely characterized it as an example of potential risks Mac OS X users face.
In a statement, Apple disputed that Leap.A was a virus, calling it "malicious software that requires a user to download the application and execute the resulting file."

"Apple always advises Macintosh users to only accept files from vendors and Web sites that they know and trust. We have a guide to safely handling files received from the Internet," the company said

.
Still, virus or not, Leap.A has sparked discussion about whether Apple's UNIX based operating system will prove as vulnerable as Windows. Security has become a top focus of Microsoft over the past two years, and Windows Vista is slated to bring a number of enhancements to protect users. Mac users have largely been spared of such troubles, but that could change, analysts say.

"I've seen blogs and news sites suggesting that the so-called iPod effect is increasing Mac sales, putting more Macs in use and making Apple's operating system a bigger target. I don't believe it," commented Jupiter Research senior analyst Joe Wilcox. "There are 42 million-plus sold. Anyone see a viable, mass iPod virus?"

However, Wilcox notes that Apple's move to the Intel platform could also bring the first big security problems. "The volume of hackers sure does appear to be greatest on computers running Intel or AMD processors. Now, alongside Windows and Linux, those hackers can run Mac OS X."

Adds Wilcox: "My concern: Of the nearly two dozen people I know with Macs at home, I'm the only one using antivirus software. When trouble comes, many Mac users won't be prepared."

AMD's Socket AM2 to support DDR2 800 MHZ

WE ALL expected that AMD planned to support DDR 2 400, 533 and 667 but very few of us expected that the firm plans to include DDR 2 800 MHz on its list. Before February, the plan was to support all memories up to DDR 667 but AMD eventually decided that it can and will support DDR 2 800 MHz from the outset. Now the migration to DDR 2 finally makes sense, as DDR 2 800 MHz can sure show sume difference compared with DDR 1 400 or even DDR 1 overclocked to 667.

It will simply offer more bandwidth and knowing that AMD places its memory controllers on the CPU it also means that it will show a bigger difference than Intel's DDR 2 capable chipsets.


The upcoming move to AMD Athlon64 AM2 will introduce a new Socket 940 design. The new Socket is very close in design to the current 940 design used on Opteron motherboards. It appears the pin-outs have been changed just enough to prevent the new AM2 processors from accidentally being plugged into older Socket 940 boards.

Current Socket 940 (Reversed)




Memory manufactures are thrilled as they will benefit the most. They will sell more DDR 2 800 than they ever imagined and the high end market along with mainstream will go toward the fast adoption of this fast memory.

AMD advises its partners to get some DDR 2 800 memory and to include it in DVT testing. It wants to be ready for all of the modules out there. DDR 2 also operates at a lower power level and it will indeed offer greater bandwidth. AMD thinks that the time is right for DDR 2. The desired speeds are there, it is available and the cost is just a little bit higher than DDR one. So there.

Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS) said that it will have a complete line of chipsets which will support AMD's up-and-coming AM2 chips

It will offer two new chipsets for desktops - the 756 and the 761GX, and four for notebooks including the 761GX and the 760GX.

SIS said AM2 will "fully replace" AMD socket 939 and 754 and will be available in Q2 of this year, supporting DDR2, and dual channel memory


Now I can say I can upgrade my PC , So , I am waiting ...

sho bedna

after a long time to know which subjects we wanna study this semester we ask ourselves "which Subject shall we remove from our table this semester"I decide with my Friend Yazan to visit all the lectures So , I get up early using an atomic bomb to be in university before 8 a.m. we start the from 8 am till 3 p.m. without stopping traveling between floors , buildings , from IT to Gharby to IT to Handaseh ...etc

after that we`ve reverse the question that we start from to be "which subject shall we keep in our table ?!"

after that we use something called "5arbaneh-5arbaneh" , so , we r waiting till end-of-week to do Add/Remove proccess

أول أيام الجامعة ... يوم مزعج

اليوم هو أول يوم من أيام الفصل الدراسي الثاني في الجامعة وغدا سيكون سنذهب لنخوض المعارك المتوقعة بداية كل فصل من سحب وإضافة ودفع الرسوم والدكاترة المتنحين والعلامات اللي بتجنن ودكتور مبلش تدريس من أول يوم ما بيحسب حساب الطلاب بدهم يرتاحوا شوي .

مهلاً ، لست من المهووسين بالجامعة الذين لا يطيقون فراقها ، ولكن لا ادري ما الذي يحصل فيها اليوم ، نشاط زائد عن الحد لكل الطلاب والمدرسين ، و إستنفار غير طبيعي ، كلهم يتحدثون ، كلهم يتنقلون من مكتب الى أخر بين رئيس قسم ودكتور ومسجل مادة يظن نفسه رئيس مؤتمر صحفي لا يطيق أن ينظر إلى شكلك ، مَن نلوم مين المسؤول عن إعصار بداية كل فصل ( نحن ، المدرسين ، الجامعة وووإلخ )

ولكن لماذا تنفذ الأعمال في اللحظة الأخيرة فقط؟! يقولون من يزرع الريح يحصد الإعصار
