VMware Workstation 5 Beta
Key new features in VMware Workstation 5:
* New Teams functionality makes it easier to create and manage connected virtual machines and simulate "real world" multi-tier configurations
* Multiple snapshot and snapshot management capabilities makes it easier to capture and manage multiple configurations
* New cloning functionality makes it easier to copy virtual machines and share them with colleagues (full and linked clones)
* Movie record and playback feature for capturing activity in a virtual machine
* Improved performance, especially for multi-VM and networking workloads, for suspend/resume and snapshot operations, and for shared folders and sound features
* New and improved Linux user interface
* New guest OS, host OS, and hardware support - 32 and 64 bit
* Support for a new class of USB devices, including webcams, microphones, and speakers
* Command line interface enables the automation of certain manual steps
Improved performance
# Multi-VM performance: Workstation 5 includes significant improvements in memory utilization when multiple virtual machines are used concurrently. This allows users to efficiently run multiple virtual machines with much less total memory.
# Improved networking performance: Workstation 5 offers enhanced networking performance by leveraging VMware's custom network driver. Once a user installs the updated VMware Tools, the necessary network drivers install seamlessly to offer significantly improved network performance.
# Improved and faster suspend/resume and snapshot operations: Workstation 5 performs significantly faster suspend/resume and snapshot operations, enabling users to spend more time testing and less time waiting for power operations to execute.

Google Hires
[July 9, 2004] Today a billboard appeared next to the Highway 101 in California. Only one caption:
{ First 10 digit prime in consecutive digits of e }.com
If we browse the value of number 'e', we found that the first 10-digit prime number within these decimals is '7427466391'. So this ad is by '7427466391.com', which contains more clues.
But this website is hosted by Google (IP 216.239.53.184). What does Google pursues with this website?
On this board you can find more answers, but the clues lead to this Google's webpage, where the firm tries to recruit more engineers.

There has been a rash of recent editorials about privacy concerns with Google's gmail service. A number of organizations have asked Google to voluntarily suspend the service.

First Epson R-D1 samples online: Digital Photography Review
http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2004/0621/dcr016.htm
"This new article (published in Japanese) is a hands-on with the R-D1 and contains a set of (fairly average) samples taken with the camera in combination with a range of different prime lenses."
Fade of the myth about Leica lenses with digital sensor. Leica Lenses were not optimised for digital, and R-D1 doesn't have much more in image processing.
fairly average, and 1.6x, that's all.

Suzanne wants you to stop *"chimping" and start shooting!
* "chimping" can be loosely defined as "the act of reviewing digital images on the LCD screen" or "referring to the animal-like sound digital photographers' make when spotting a great shot on the back of their cameras" or "looking at the digital images you just took, when you should still be concentrating on taking them" !
牵着猴子走江湖
河南、陕西的摄影群体一直以浓郁的乡土特色和对社会底层人群的关注而引人瞩目。
客观地说“黄土马家”并不是个天资聪颖的天才摄影师，然而他的勤奋和努力一直使我敬佩，他曾经为拍摄药农采药用简易的绳索将自己缒下百米陡岩；在这次拍摄江湖艺人的过程中，多次在数九隆冬和跑江湖的艺人一起扒货运火车，露宿街头，过着同样的流浪生活。也正是这样，他和江湖艺人结下了深厚的情意。。。
在大街上拍照 我克服不了心理障碍
我一直都不喜欢在大街上拍别人只拍个后脑勺，那样的照片，除非环境特别有气氛，或者事件本身特别幽默，否则是很没意思的。我喜欢ed van der elsken照片里那样的凝视…而这样的凝视也不是掠夺式的拍摄方式所能获得的。。。

Despite the advertised 8.5 fps the EOS-1D Mark II actually shoots at a maximum of 8.3 fps...
