Macs, Adobe, and IE - Who Owns the Bug??
Published: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 | By: DennisOur resident Mac expert Talon sent this in and it looks to be a pretty serious yet totally funny little bug. Here is what you need to do.
Go to the site listed below using your favorite IE browser (on the windows platform). You will notice that the page doesn't completely load and a few of the images are gone.
Next using the same browser go to any other site on the net, you will notice that no images are being loaded.
The problem resides around IE freaking out about XML data that is inserted into the .jpg file when it is saved from certain Adobe products on the OSX platform. It is only temporary, just close and restart your browser.
Mozilla based browsers are unaffected.

CoolerMaster HSC-V62 Copper Heatsink Review @ RadiativeNZ
Published: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 | By: DennisThe HSC-V62 looks to be your typical thin-fin copper heatsink with the addition of a thermally controlled variable speed fan. In the past I've disliked this approach since the thermal control was more dependant on case temperature than CPU temperature. Coolermaster took this into account and actually placed the sensor under the fan instead.

Comdex Over
Published: Monday, November 25, 2002 | By: DennisWith Comdex officially over a few sites have released their reports of Comdex and as you can guess they had better luck getting in to see other Vendors.
I've seen a few shots of the internal ATI booth along with the elusive AMD meeting room. Like I mentioned in my Comdex write-ups I didn't have a lot of time to spend in Las Vegas so I wasn't able to hit the other hotels and see what they had to offer, and from what I saw quite a few vendors opted to have their shows in hotel convention rooms instead of in the Convention Center.
Two days just wasn't enough

New Product Schedules Out for Springdale
Published: Monday, November 25, 2002 | By: Dennis"VIA, SiS and ALi release new product schedules due to Springdale changes"
Nothing to outrageous here but it does set some schedules back slightly, while others simply are adapting to the change.
"With samples of its P4X600A expected to be finished in January, VIA is likely to be the first to introduce an 800MHz FSB and dual-channel DDR400 chipset. VIA said that the P4X600A will offer the technology support through overclocking." -

Ellen Feiss Speaks
Published: Sunday, November 24, 2002 | By: DennisThe stoner chix strikes again, but according to her she wasn't stoned, but does admit to being on drugs at the time. Benedryl
"Does it bother you at all that some of your fame might be related to your perceived state of sobriety in the commercial?
It doesn’t really bother me. I do admit to looking pretty out of it in that commercial — I think I look horrible. It was after school, but I was the last person to make the commercial, so by the time I made it it was like 10, so I was really tired. The funny thing was, I was on drugs! I was on Benedryl, my allergy medication, so I was really out of it anyway. That’s why my eyes were all red, because I have seasonal allergies. But no one believes me."
