`21.Dec.2010` Floppy (ANF)	AROS: Broadband support of handys With the latest Nightly Builds AROS is now also available with mobile broadband-support. Additional to the ModemManager, a new entry was added to the preferences (screenshot). New or updated features: C:ModemManager Prefs/Network DEVS:Networks/ppp.device Classes/USB/cdcacm.class System/Network/AROSTCP/S/Package-startup In the preferences for Init4 you have to enter the Access Point Name (APN): AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","insert.your.apn.here". Then the ppp0-interface must be configured and the IP-mode set to. The ModemManager automatically updates the nameserver (DNS) - but they cannot be used during the first connection because AROSTCP and thus AROS itself must be started again.

`21.Dec.2010` amigaworld.net (Webseite)	A-EON spilled the beans about X1000-processor - with a cake (Update) A-EON announced the X1000 but without naming the used processor. Many users thought over which PowerPC-CPU A-EON will use. The PA6T produced by the company P.A.Semi - which now belongs to Apple - was one of the possibilities. But this processor is not available on the free market thus it was not very likely. Thom Holwerda who is chief editor of the English-language news site osnews.com was one of those Sceptics. He was completely certain that he said he would eat his socks if A-EON will use PA6T. Officially A-EON has not announced any news. But yesterday Holwerda got an interesting package: A cake with the socks of Thom Holwerda. Despatcher: "Trevor Dickinson, A-EON Technology" Update: (12:00, 22.12.10, snx) Meanwhile A-EON has also officially confirmed that the chosen processor is P.A. Semi's PA6T-1682M: London 21st December 2010 A-EON Technology is pleased to finally reveal the identity of the mystery CPU powering the AmigaOne X1000. It's none other than the uber cool PWRficient PA6T processor developed by fabless chip designer PA Semi. The PA6T-1682M is a high performance, low power, cool running dual-core, 64-bit, 2GHZ Power CPU specifically designed for embedded industrial and military applications. PA Semi was acquired by Apple in 2008 and all the indications were that they purchased the company for the technology and planned to shut down the PA Semi product line. However, following demand from military and industrial users, Apple agreed to continue supplying chips to pre-existing PA Semi customers for a limited time period. Fortunately Varisys, our hardware partner, had a long-standing relationship with PA-Semi and we were able to secure a supply of PA6T CPUs for the AmigaOne X1000 project, making it the first and most probably the last desktop computer based on the unique PA-Semi CPU technology as Apple have now closed down the PA-Semi product line. After reading a statement by Thom Holwerda, the Managing Editor of OSNews website announced in an AmigaWorld.net forum, "I can assure you all, with 110% certainty, that the X1000 will NOT carry a processor from PA Semi. If it turns out it does, I will eat my socks and post the video as proof", we decided to give him an exclusive on revealing the identity of the AmigaOne X1000 CPU. Rather than issuing the usual staid press release and forcing Thom to eat his own socks we decided to take pity on him and shipped him a special cake decorated with a pair of edible "Boing Ball" socks with a note saying the cake was a gift from A-EON Technology. Read Holwerda's exclusive report on OSnews. Special thanks go to premier Amiga developer Davy Wentzler who helped to coordinate the production and delivery of the special "Boing Ball" sock cake.

`19.Dec.2010` Amigaworld.net (Webseite)	AmigaOS 4: English dictionary WordNet 3.2 WordNet is a database of the English language and was ported to AmigaOS 4 by Daniel Jedlicka (screenshot). For voice output the flite.device is required. Changes in version 3.2: The toolbar has no bevel box drawn around it (looks better) New option in Settings: the program window can be made to always stay visible, on top of other windows New option in Settings: quitting the program on pressing the Escape key is now configurable (and off by default) New option in Settings: word frequency counts can be switched off (default), which results in slightly faster searches and a cleaner display of results Bugfix: if an APPLIBMT_ToFront command arrived from application.library and WordNet was iconified, the program would produce a DSI error Bugfix: when started from CLI and too deep in the directory structure, the program would fail to lock its icon An internal stack cookie of 80KB now ensures optimum program performance Compiled against the latest AmigaOS 4 SDK Compiled with GCC's "-Wall" switch and got rid of all compiler warnings Internal code cleanup Download: wordnet.lha (11 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 19.
