Apple G5
Here they are the new G5 computers of Apple. And this is said about the new computers by Apple itself: "The Power Mac G5 is the worldwide fastest personal computer and the first computer with a 64bit processor. As the first personal computer the Power Mac G5 breaks through the 4 gigabyte border. It is able to use up to 8 gigabyte main memory. Additional to the speed of up to 2 times 2 GHz the new G5 processor has a new system architecture with high band width and AGP 8x and PCI-X-slot. Because of all these features the new Power Mac G5 has made the break through in the processing performance at the desktop computers." (ps) (Translation: dr)

Golem: The end of the GIF-Patent
burnallgifs.org
20 June 2003: The LZW patent expires today in the United States. However, patents on LZW are still in force in other countries. Please continue to refrain from using GIFs. More importantly, do not allow your communications to be censored by the whims of patent holders. Things you can do:
  1. Oppose the expansion of software patents to your country, if such patents are not available there now.
  2. Insist that standards bodies in which you participate make an an "innovation compatible" (IC) license a requirement for any patents needed to implement a standard.
  3. Develop and support software that works with non-patented file formats and network protocols, instead of patent-encumbered ones.
Sign the petition against software patents in Europe.

PNG-Tips for Cartoonists
Hackles writes:
In short, PNG combines (and improves upon) the best qualities of GIF and JPEG, and can effectively replace GIFs on the Web. So why don't people use it more often? Here are some tips on how to use it correctly.

I wrote this article to encourage cartoonists to start using PNG, and to share some tips on exploiting PNG's strengths. Used correctly, PNG can drastically reduce the file size and download time of one's comics. (ps) (Translation: dr)
