[Ethical Companies - The Blog] Have you discovered emulation ? Part #2 - 16 bit computers at ...: Commodore’s offering was the first multi tasking offering on the market and technically a superior machine to the Atari offering with superior graphics and sound. Many Commodore 64 owners took to the Amiga like a duck takes to water and the Amiga saw some excellent game and demo offerings.

[MetaFilter] You sure don't see a lot of sidecars nowadays. | MetaFilter: I could actually call my own BBS with my own computer, and see myself typing in both the terminal emulation program and in the window that showed the PC screen. (slightly delayed, because the hardware/software combo that remapped the PC's bitmap display to the Amiga's planar display was fairly slow, only a couple of frames per second.) It was pretty cool, and didn't even require hardware hackery, although I had to run the PC hard drive outside the case.

[FredTime Stories] FredTime Stories » Blog Archive » Mac vs. PC: 23 Years Later: This is somebody who started using MS DOS in the 80s, graduated to Windows 3.0 in the 90s (with some dabbling on a Commodore 64, an Atari St and Amiga Falcom in the the interim), had the very first version of Windows 95 on the market, thought Windows NT was the best OS since sliced bread, and had not even pressed a key on a Mac until 2002. Now I use both, everyday, and can promise you that almost everything I do on a PC takes longer, is fraught with problems, and I spend at least one working day a month in total (unpaid, of course, as i freelance) making sure my PC stays healthy, while my Macs sit open on the internet all day every day, have at least three bits of hardware installed and uninstalled and I have only ever done one complete Mac re-install, and even that wasn’t to improve its performance or fix a problem - it was just to streamline all the applications I had installed to see if having less on there provided new more focused ways of working.

[CrunchGear] Microsoft bows to Apple's pressure, changes Laptop Hunter ad: Its part of the reason why you keep hearing of the “Windows Bloat”, they keep adding to it but changing very little of the core in order to keep as much backward compatibility as possible, but that backward compatibility is costing Microsoft in the long run as they are having to support many many methods and workarounds to old software which is all part of the whole Vista fiasco, I could see it coming when XP was introduced with its compatibilty mode that was hardly compatible. Until they re-write windows from scratch they will not be able to compete on Innovation with Mac OS X which has transitioned seemlessly from PPC processors to x86 Intel, and now from a 32bit/64bit hybrid to FULL 64bit support, with native support for 32 bit.

[Joystiq] PSP hackers Dark Alex and Fanjita unmasked: I love them both I buyed a psp on the day it came out and it was 1.50 and I never updated past 2.00 with fear of not being able to downgrade but a month or so ago I found dark alexs custom firmwere and now im in herven altho would have liked the cheat thing to work in gta but someone told me theres a plug in or something but anyway love them both they rule

[TechConsumer] PC vs Console Gaming: Which Is Actually More Expensive? | Info on ...: But it demonstrates how you can have a decent video card (At one time) and then throughout the ages still have the same level of quality with new games (assuming the developers are accommodating) which is the equivalent of having an console. A console never gets better technically just like the old computer you bought 10 years ago will not get any better with age (like a fine wine).

[Cliffski's Blog] Cliffski's Blog » Genuine call for emails from pirates: And DRM have fucked up my system a few times(before i started removing DRM and/or not buying stuff that have it), for example X3 bricked a Plextor dvd burner for me, that drive is so messed up in the firmware that no OS is bootable if it is conected to a ide cable (tried XP, a few diffrent versiones of *inux) so if a game have Starforce DRM i will not buy it, hell i would not install it even if i got it for free, another problem with DRM is incompability with dvdburners and players, for example i can´t install Neverwinter nights 2 on any of my computers because of the DRM used (my dvdwriter and dvdplayer can´t find the disc.) realy nice system when you have payed extra to get the collectors edition (80+€)(and i have opened the box i can´t return it so its just collecting dust).

[Armchair Arcade - Chronicling the Complete History of Videogames and Computers] The History of Computer Role-Playing Games Part I: The Early Years ...: Temple of Apshai was first available on the TRS-80 platform, then the Commodore PET, but was later ported to the Apple II (1980), Atari home computer (1981), DOS (1982), and finally to the Commodore 64 and Vic 20 in 1983. ...

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: Blizzard Entertainment Uses Spyware to ...: Whether the target is visible to a given player can be resolved to a sufficient accuracy with a much simpler ray tracing algorithm using a coarse wire mesh world, the kind of stuff that was already possible before the C64 time. It is already done by the "other side" in aimbots which have adaptive tracking (check whether they are attempting to track a target which is behind a wall for example, just to lower the "cheating profile" observable by the other players).

[ivan krstić · code culture] ivan krstić · code culture » Sic Transit Gloria Laptopi: Now that it’s goaded the industry into working on low-cost laptops, OLPC could become a focus point for advocating constructionism, making educational content available, providing learning software, and keeping track of worldwide [one-to-one] deployments and the lessons arising from them. When a country chooses to do [a one-to-one computer program], OLPC could be the one-stop shop that actually works with them to make it happen, regardless of which laptop manufacturer is chosen, banking on the deployment plans it’s cultivated from experience and the readily available base of software and content it keeps.
