Simpsons Film in Preproduction
"According to Yahoo news, a Simpsons feature film is now in preproduction. In TFA, Nancy Cartwright is quoted as saying 'We've just done the table read for The Simpsons movie, so although we've been promoting that we're going to do it, now we're actually doing it and are in production . . .' Also from TFA: ''They are working on hammering out a script, but there's no title or production date or release date,' studio spokeswoman Antonia Coffman told E! Online Wednesday. 'We always wanted the show to end first but it just keeps going. Now they've worked out a team to simultaneously do [both the film and show].'''"

But I do not wait anytime longer for HDTV. All sizes of tv from the portables one from casios to the sumo size 100" LCDs I want to buy should all included digital receivers digital.
U.S. communications regulators on Thursday agreed to move up to March 1, 2006, the deadline requiring television makers to ensure all mid-size sets they sell in the United States can receive digital signals.
As part of an effort to speed the transition to digital television, the Consumer Electronics Association had asked the Federal Communications Commission to move up the July 1, 2006, deadline for all sets made with screens 25 inches to 35 inches to be able to receive the new, higher-quality signals.
However, the FCC rejected another request by the association to eliminate a July 1, 2005, deadline for the manufacturers to ensure half of those sets with the mid-size screens are capable of receiving digital.

update Apple Computer plans to announce Monday that it's scrapping its partnership with IBM and switching its computers to Intel's microprocessors, CNET News.com has learned.
Apple has used IBM's PowerPC processors since 1994, but will begin a phased transition to Intel's chips, sources familiar with the situation said. Apple plans to move lower-end computers such as the Mac Mini to Intel chips in mid-2006 and higher-end models such as the Power Mac in mid-2007, sources said.
The announcement is expected Monday at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, at which Chief Executive Steve Jobs is giving the keynote speech. The conference would be an appropriate venue: Changing the chips would require programmers to rewrite their software to take full advantage of the new processor.
IBM, Intel and Apple declined to comment for this story.

Apple and Intel: film stars?
The high-powered pairing could set
the stage for a Hollywood ending.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Apple was considering switching to Intel, but many analysts were skeptical citing the difficulty and risk to Apple.
That skepticism remains. "If they actually do that, I will be surprised, amazed and concerned," said Insight 64 analyst Nathan Brookwood. "I don't know that Apple's market share can survive another architecture shift. Every time they do this, they lose more customers" and more software partners, he said.
Apple successfully navigated a switch in the 1990s from Motorola's 680x0 line of processors to the Power line jointly made by Motorola and IBM. That switch also required software to be revamped to take advantage of the new processors' performance, but emulation software permitted older programs to run on the new machines. (Motorola spinoff Freescale currently makes PowerPC processors for Apple notebooks and the Mac Mini.)
The relationship between Apple and IBM has been rocky at times. Apple openly criticized IBM for chip delivery problems, though Big Blue said it fixed the issue. More recent concerns, which helped spur the Intel deal, included tension between Apple's desire for a wide variety of PowerPC processors and IBM's concerns about the profitability of a low-volume business, according to one source familiar with the partnership.
Over the years, Apple has discussed potential deals with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, chipmaker representatives have said.
One advantage Apple has this time: The open-source FreeBSD operating system, of which Mac OS X is a variant, already runs on x86 chips such as Intel's Pentium. And Jobs has said Mac OS X could easily run on x86 chips.
The move also raises questions about Apple's future computer strategy. One basic choice it has in the Intel-based PC realm is whether to permit its Mac OS X operating system to run on any company's computer or only its own.
IBM loses cachet with the end of the Apple partnership, but it can take consolation in that it's designing and manufacturing the Power family processors for future gaming consoles from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, said Clay Ryder, a Sageza Group analyst.
"I would think in the sheer volume, all the stuff they're doing with the game consoles would be bigger. But anytime you lose a high-profile customer, that hurts in ways that are not quantifiable but that still hurt," Ryder said.

Indeed, IBM has a "Power Everywhere" marketing campaign to tout the wide use of its Power processors. The chips show up in everything from networking equipment to IBM servers to the most powerful supercomputer, Blue Gene/L.
Intel dominates the PC processor business, with an 81.7 percent market share in the first quarter of 2005, compared with 16.9 percent for Advanced Micro Devices, according to Dean McCarron of Mercury Research. Those numbers do not include PowerPC processors. However, Apple has roughly 1.8 percent of the worldwide PC market, he added.
Apple shipped 1.07 million PCs in the first quarter, and its move to Intel would likely bump up the chipmaker's shipments by a corresponding amount, McCarron added.

SBC slashes DSL price tag | CNET News.com
SBC slashes DSL price tag | CNET News.com: "SBC Communications is dropping the price of high-speed Internet service by 25 percent, upping the ante in its rivalry with cable competitors.
SBC, the second-largest U.S. telecom company, said Wednesday it will offer broadband service for $14.95 per month to new customers who sign up online, $5 per month less than its previous lowest price. The deal, which requires a one-year contract, makes SBC competitive with many dial-up Internet services and is among the lowest prices for broadband in the United States.
Executives at SBC say they have a two- to three-year window to add as many digital subscriber lines as possible, before cable companies complete their launch of telephone services and pursue SBC customers with voice, video and data packages.
'It's about market share,' SBC Chief Executive Edward Whitacre said. 'The sooner we get there and the bigger piece of market we get, the better off we are. It's essentially us and the cable companies vying for that.'"

Iomega aiming for 800GB DVDs | CNET News.com
Storage company Iomega is looking to increase the capacity of DVDs up to 100 times, meaning it could, conceivably, create 800GB discs.
The San Diego, Calif.-based company announced on Tuesday that it had been issued a patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,879,556, which covers a method of encoding data on the surface of a DVD so more data--on the order of 40 to 100 times that of current capacities--can be stored. Current DVDs can hold up to about 8.5GB of data. Data transfer speeds would also jump five to 30 times, according to the company

'Pac Man' game to enter Guinness book of world records
Namco's popular "Pac Man" has been recognized as the world's No. 1 arcade game, paving the way for it to be included in the Guinness Book of Records, it has been learned.
A total of 293,000 Pac Man arcade machines were sold across the world in the eight years after the game was released in 1980. In the game, a round-shaped character munches his way through dots inside a maze. The Pac Man character was reportedly devised by Namco's Toru Iwatani based on the shape of a pizza.

Fox channel, GolTV score big with soccer fans
Fox channel, GolTV score big with soccer fans: "Joe Theisen has turned into a nut, which he readily admits is causing a few problems in his marriage.
Theisen used to watch a lot of American professional sports on television, but lately, thanks to the advent of the Fox Soccer Channel and the Spanish- language-oriented GolTV, it's pretty much all soccer, all the time, from anywhere around the globe that has him stuck to the TV set for numerous hours.
'Fortunately, my wife (Kathleen) is a soccer fan, too, and we're working through the problem,' said Theisen, a 45-year-old hydro-geologist who does consulting on environmental cleanup work, and finds time to both play and coach in the Marin Mayflower over-40 and Marin coed leagues and the San Francisco coed league."

eDonkey2000 Reaches 4 Million Users
While BitTorrent may come close, its highly distributed nature does not allow for an efficient network crawl. The last network to obtain such heights was FastTrack, when back in 2003 this community reached 4.5 million users. Since that time, the RIAA's lawsuits have devastated FastTrack leaving it with approximately 2.7 million users.

"As long as Slashdot's been around, and as well known as it is, it's still only ranked 1151, where as Digg, which came out just last year, is already 15,073. If you compared Slashdot in 1998 and Digg today, Digg would be far ahead of Slashdot."

As has become routine with several of the company's recent announcements, including Gmail and desktop search, critics immediately looked for ulterior motives, privacy breaches and security slipups.

Sure. There are lots of things bigger than a terabyte. But for completeness, I will go through all of them.
* 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
* 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
* 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
* 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
* 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
* 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte - In 2000, 3 exabytes of information was created
* 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
* 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
* 1000 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte - that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes

update In a stunning victory for hardware makers and television buffs, a federal appeals court has tossed out government rules that would have outlawed many digital TV receivers and tuner cards starting July 1.
What's new:
A federal appeals court has squelched an FCC rule that would have required TV gear to use copy protection technology known as a "broadcast flag."
Bottom line:
The ruling is a big setback for Hollywood studios, which sought to limit unauthorized Internet redistribution of over-the-air TV broadcasts. But it's a reprieve for makers of HDTV sets, PC tuner cards, and USB and Firewire tuners.

BobPaul writes "While the eXeem project to decentralize Bittorrent remains in open beta, the Azureus Java Bittorrent project has recently released a major update that, among other things offers 'a distributed, decentralised database that can be used to track decentralised torrents. This permits both "trackerless" torrents and the maintenance of swarms where the tracker has become unavailable or where the torrent was removed from the tracker.' It doesn't contain the search functionality of eXeem, but it's also not a beta product and is licensed under the GPL. Could this and compatible clients be the replacement to SuprNova and Lokitorrents, or does the lack of search negate its effectiveness?"
