`25.May.2003` amiga.org	Tao: intent 2 raring to go In a comment to the article "Amiga DE a Good Idea, Poor Execution" in the forum of the American news service amiga.org, Francis Charig, CEO of Tao, announced intent2 and clarified a couple of points. Please read Charig's full comment below: "We will be announcing the launch of 'intent 2' in June. I can't say too much about it here as this is a public forum so please forgive me and remain patient through the next few weeks. A few comments.... intent is a software platform targeted at resolving fundamental commercial issues faced by network operators, OEMs, ODMs, applications developers and content creators. We have been building a series of technologies in areas such as AV, Java and various new components and tools that get announced during June. To be able to provide a solution that meets the market's expectations, we have been working on threading them together so that we have a true platform. You'll find that we've been extremely successful in achieving this. The previous ADK and SDKs weren't good enough to enhance our reputation but that should shortly change. During the last year-and-a-half we have had strong support from the OCPA which ratified the intent core APIs as its standard last year. Membership includes Sega, Konami, Bandai, Capcom, Taito, Qualcomm, TI, Motorola, Intel, Hitachi, Sony, Fujitsu, Pioneer, Epson, Kyocera, JVC, Sharp and Toyota, and so forth. Products on the market or being developed by Philips, Sony, Kyocera and many others supporting devices (DVCs, remote controls, home servers, PVRs, phones, PDAs....) incorporating MIPS, X86, PowerPC, ARM, SH, Embedded Linux, Smartphone, Pocket PC, iTRON, Symbian, VxWorks, the native intent RTOS show the unique breadth of the product as we had promised. We're getting traction from all of the targeted markets of our business. Comments in the thread about Java support relates to the desktop where memory constraints and other factors make those solutions inappropriate for the kind of devices we are focussed on. In our area, intent is massively outperforming the capabilities of any alternative. Consequently we have been rapidly gaining network operator support. However, while the Java language is an important part of the platform (I cannot understand comments in this thread that indicate Java has failed or doesn't have momentum), Java cannot be the entire platform because of its many limitations and the ability to transmit to networked devices fun content written in any language including scripting languages is important if we are to talk about truly open platforms. I don't remember having had a single cross word with Bill McEwen since we began our Amiga relationship. We still see Amiga as an important potential contributor of content and other areas of value-add and we have made introductions of Amiga to various blue chip partners or customers of ours including some in the last few weeks. However, remember that intent has not been developed to be a replacement o/s for the desktop but nor have we ever claimed that it was. We have been entirely consistent in our aims and Tao, and we're making strong progress. All the best Francis Charig" (nba) (Translation: cb) [News message: 25.

`24.May.2003` Stiftung Warentest Online	Stiftung Warentest: 0190 numbers - search engine shows netprovider Stiftung Warentest reports in this article about a search engine in the Internet that is supposed to give information about which 0190 number belongs to which provider. This is an offer of the German "Regulierungsbehörde für Telekommunikation und Post". The search engine is active since Wednesday. Unfortunately it shows only the net provider of the calling number, therefore it's still complicated to search the people in the background behind the numbers. This search engine is a correct but only a first step in the fight against the unscrupulous dialer money makers. Read the full (German) article following the title link.

`24.May.2003` (ANF)	New webpage for Amiga clone Access Following the title link you will find a new launched homepage for the Amiga clone Access by Index Information LDT. As there are several Access boards circulating but without an official place to turn to have all available data been collected and a forum has been installed. This can be used to exchange experiences and possibly to remove problems or to answer questions. As there's only a small number of boards spread throughout the world is the page been held in the international comprehensible English. In the forum itself you may of course write in other languages, too. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 24. May. 2003, 14:43] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`24.May.2003` Lars Ghandy Sobiraj (ANF)	Demo scene: Disk mag Generation now online available Three issues of the legendary Amiga demo scene disk mag Generation by Artwork, later Endzeit, are now for all interested visitors online available. The former main editor Henning RokDaZone Brau had already months ago a HTML version of his ork prepared but never put it online. This has now been completed and released by the Diskmag.de team. For all those who had been active in the mid 90s there's much to read. And much you still can and probably also will remember. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 24.
