AL SALAM 3alikomAugust 02 IBM to Use AMD Processors in New Servers (PC Magazine)SAN FRANCISCO - IBM, the world's largest technology services company, on Tuesday is announcing new server computers giving businesses access to computing power typically used by universities and large corporations.
The five systems, set to be unveiled at a New York briefing on Tuesday, use microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc., which has been making inroads against industry leader Intel Corp. The systems promise more computing power but are more energy-efficient and generate less heat than earlier machines. They also cost less than comparable high-performance systems, IBM said. The announcement is a boost for AMD as it hopes to maintain momentum against a raft of new chips from Intel. Dell Inc., the world's biggest personal computer maker, in May said it planned to use AMD's Opteron processors in high-end server computers by the end of the year, ending a 22-year exclusive relationship with Intel. "Opteron offers a very high level of performance that is being adapted more and more for mainstream business applications," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT Research in Hayward, California. AMD Chief Executive Hector Ruiz is scheduled to attend the New York briefing, along with Bill Zeitler, head of IBM's systems and technology group. International Business Machines Corp. of Armonk, New York, faces tough competition in the server market from Hewlett-Packard Co., the leading global server vendor by revenue in the first quarter, according to market researcher IDC. Both companies had about 28 percent of the worldwide server market in the first quarter, but IBM's revenue share fell 3.6 percent while Hewlett-Packard's share was little changed. Sun Microsystems Inc. grew the fastest of the major vendors, with a 5.8 percent revenue gain and 10.8 percent of the global server market, IDC said in May. IBM started using Opteron processors in 2003, but sold them mainly to high-performance users such as universities and research centers, King said. The systems also have been used by large insurers for sophisticated risk modeling and loss simulations, he said. "What's happened in the last two years is there's been an increasing intersection of high-performance computing and commercial business applications," King said. Businesses can put the new IBM systems to use in an array of applications, from intensive data processing to running Web sites, King said. They are also suited to delivering video and television over the Internet. IBM expects to start selling the new servers in the third quarter, when it will also announce pricing.

والحقيقة المرة هي أن الرفض قد أطل على كل بلد من بلاد الإسلام وغيرها، بوجهه الكريه، وكشر عن أنيابه الكالحة، وألقى حبائله أمام من لا يعرف حقيقته، مظهرا غير ما يبطن، ديدن كل منافق مفسد ختال، فاغتر به من يجهل حقيقته, وخدع به من لا يعرف عقيدته، بل إن الرافضة في هذا العصر، قد صار لهم حكم ودولة، وسلطة وقوة، فأظهروا بالأقوال حرصهم على الدين، وعلى نصرة المستضعفين من المسلمين وحاولوا التقرب لأهل السنة، والتودد إليهم، وجهدوا في سبيل كسب ودهم وثقتهم، وإخفاء الحقيقة عنهم، حقيقة مذهبهم، وعقائدهم، ومكرهم وخداعهم، وحقدهم الأسود على أهل السنة
ومن أجل هذا الخطر المحدق، والأمر المقلق، وجب التنبيه والتحذير، وكذا التعريف ببعض عقائد القوم، وأقوال أئمة السلف الصالح فيهم، لئلا يغتر بهم من لا يعرفهم، ولكي يفيق ويستيقظ من كان مخدوعا بضلالاتهم، وكذبهم ومكرهم وخداعهم.
Just want every friend to read it I just copied it from http://www.islamway.com/ January 28 The Global Plan to Stop Tuberculosis has received a $600m (£337m) boost from Microsoft chairman Bill Gates.The campaign, backed by more than 400 organisations worldwide, aims to treat 50 million people in the next 10 years. Launching the plan with UK Chancellor Gordon Brown and Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mr Gates said it was a "chance to save 14 million lives". Mr Gates has already committed $300m to the programme, but the total cost of the plan will be $56bn over 10 years. On Thursday, Mr Brown had told parliament that the UK would contribute £41.7m ($75m) to tackle tuberculosis in India, as part of the new plan to fight the disease. The programme was launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Every 15 seconds somebody dies of TB, avoidably, preventably," said Mr Brown. Global epidemic Innovations in finding treatments for diseases like TB had to be assisted by finance ministers around the world providing innovative ways of financing such programmes, he said. Mr Brown and Mr Obasanjo pledged to push for making the fight against TB a priority for the G8 group of industrialised countries and the African Union respectively. "The Global Plan is fundamental for Africa, where tuberculosis was declared an emergency by 46 countries in 2005," Mr Obasanjo said. Marcus Espinal, in charge of the TB programme of the World Health Organization, predicted that "we will break the back of the global TB epidemic". With 15 diagnostic tests and 28 new medicines in development, it should be possible to revolutionise the treatment of tuberculosis, shrink treatment time and beat drug resistance, he said. A tuberculosis vaccine could be developed by 2012, he predicted. Mr Espinal said it was poignant that the programme was launched in Davos, once famous around the world for its TB sanatorium and setting for Thomas Mann's book The Magic Mountain. The plan aims to implement one of the United Nations' Millennium Goals, which called for a halt in the spread of TB and progress in reducing incidences of the disease by 2015. The Global Fund hopes to spend about $47bn on TB treatment and control, and $9bn on research and development. December 21 Company Says Clerk Urinated Into SodaA convenience store worker has admitted urinating into a soda bottle, causing a customer who drank from it to become violently ill, his bosses say. Publix Super Markets spokesman Dwaine Stevens said the accused employee, who works at a Pix Convenience Store in Deltona, was suspended after the company learned of the incident this week. An internal investigation is being completed. Lab tests done by Publix on the contaminated Mountain Dew confirmed the soda contained urine, Stevens said. The supermarket giant owns the Pix chain. "It is an isolated incident done by one of our associates," Stevens said. "Whatever measure is necessary, it will be executed and the employee will be dealt with." Publix has not filed a criminal complaint but the option has not been ruled out, Stevens said. The victim, a foreman with a Daytona Beach construction company, became suspicious of the drink after he chugged the beverage last week, his attorney, Daniel Newlin, said "He vomited three or four times afterward," said Newlin, who did not release his client's name in order to protect the man's privacy. Newlin said that upon the advice of an infectious-disease doctor, the victim was being tested for diseases such as gonorrhea and hepatitis C. "We're hopeful that the person who did this wasn't carrying any sexual, or otherwise, virus that could cause him harm," Newlin said. "Unfortunately, the doctors were very concerned." November 09 HD DVD YA ABA GAHLHD DVD (High Definition Digital Versatile Disc) is a digital optical media format which is being developed as one standard for high-definition DVD. HD DVD is similar to the competing Blu-ray Disc, which also uses the same CD sized (120 mm diameter) optical data storage media and 405 nm wavelength blue laser. HD DVD is promoted by Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, and (most recently[1]) Microsoft, and Intel, and may be non-exclusively backed by four major studios: New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Warner Bros..
Overview: HD DVD has a single layer capacity of 15 GB and a dual-layer capacity of 30 GB. Toshiba has announced a triple-layer disc is in development, which would offer 45GB of storage. This is smaller than its primary competitor Blu-ray Disc, which supports 25GB for one layer, 50GB for two and 100GB for four, but HD DVD proponents point out that multi-layer Blu-ray discs are still in development. The surface layer of an HD DVD disc is 0.6 mm thick, the same as DVD but thicker than the Blu-ray Disc's 0.1 mm layer. The numerical aperture of the optical pick-up head is 0.65, compared with 0.6 for DVD. Both formats will be backwards compatible with DVDs and both employ the same video compression techniques: MPEG-2, Video Codec 1 (VC1, based on the Windows Media 9 format) and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.

November 02 Xbox 360 Games Will Not Use HD-DVDJapan's chief of Xbox operations, Yoshihiro Maruyama said that while a version of the Xbox 360 console which can read HD-DVD discs is a possibility, the next-generation DVD standard will never be used for games on the platform. His comments were made to Enterbrain's Famitsu Xbox magazine in an interview, where he expanded on a statement made by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates back in June regarding the potential for a HD-DVD enabled Xbox 360. His statement could be reasonable considering that that Microsoft couldn't change the media it's shipping games on halfway through the life cycle of a console, leaving owners of the DVD version unable to play HD-DVD games. The Xbox 360 will be equipped with a DVD drive by Toshiba. |
