The Ouranos Blog

So i stopped bothering with the site because it’s overrun by bots and my site webmaster quit on me so my google ads never got setup, but i did notice since I stopped maintaining it myself, we’ve reached over 9000 bot comments! Huzzah!

So another post from me today. For those of you in the tech know, you may have heard of nvidia’s next-gen gaming video cards, the GTX470 and 480, based on their new codenamed “Fermi” GPU chip. These things look great in my opinion. i see alot of potential coming from the Green Gurus, and really hoping the Red Stain will be lifted from the walls you see of the internet. I can’t wait to get my hands on a 470 so I can compare it to my lovely little GTX275, see how it stacks up. Maybe if I’m lucky my humble little site will be allowed a sample for testing. I doubt it, but hey, we can all dream, eh?

As far as my opinion of ATI… uck. The hardware is there, the potential is there, but Catalyst will ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS AND FOREVER, keep me from those cards. Too many bad experiences with their crappy, poorly written software over the time I had my only ATI card in my life that I know better then to ever go back to that filth.

So, no news link on this one. Because this is form me. Sick to death of all these retarded commercials from finallfast, doublemyspeed, mycleanpc, etc on tv. Nothing but scams and garbageware that are logn on promise, low on guarentee, and lacking results. In fact, at times they have been literally OPPOSITE of promises made, with numerous reports of these programs installing real spyware on a system after telling you your (perfectly operational and virus-free) system was infected. To my readers out there (and I know you’e out there….) dear god don’t even think of trying these guys. They’re junk.

“When Steve Jobs badmouthed Adobe Flash to The Wall Street Journal, he said it was buggy, littered with security holes, and a “CPU hog”. It’s hard to argue with the first two, but a new study claims the Apple cult leader was wrong about the hog bit.

According to tests from the Streaming Learning Center – an online media consultancy that conducts public seminars on the delivery of net video – Flash is no more of a CPU drain than the HTML5 setup favored by Steve Jobs. The issue is not whether you use Flash or HTML5, says Jan Ozer, who conducted the tests, but whether you back them with hardware acceleration.” – http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/12/flash_v_html5/

Heh. Heheheheheh. Steve Jobs needs t be put in his place. Sorry Steve, the ego hasn’t helped your market share any. Tone it down.
