My wife's Hackintosh has full SATA 3 capabilities on OSX

 

Yah using a new mobo, that's my point.

I don't think intel ICH10 supports Sata 3 yet. I think the sata 3 ports are done by another controller by marvell, promise or someone else.

Does it show up in System profiler and is it running at 6g speeds? Did you have to install special drivers for that or did OS X install automatically

 

The upcoming chipsets that Intel announced at CES have Sata 3 support but anything older than that will require a 3rd party chip to control the sata 3 ports

 

WMC Embedded built into the TV!

Its a Gigabyte board with a Marvell controller. OSX had no problems with it and there was a nice handy kext floating around..

The only issue I have is with sleep mode and an external drive plugged in.

 

Do want do want do want! Gimme Now!

 

This is a little intro to Windows Media Center Embedded. It's like Google TV except it doesn't have the search bar. But you can get content from a variety of places like netflix, flickr, youtube, daily motion, Zune marketplace, CBS, network locations and more. All with a great UI!

FWIW, that 8 million number represents what has been sold/shipped to stores... not sold through to customers.

Meh. Call me a codger, but I'd rather keep the dirt cheap fast-moving stuff (from an obsolescence point of view) separate from the relatively expensive display unit.

 

Man didn't gEt to check out much.

Wasted 1 hour in the south hall, had smaller accessory companies.
Spent the remaining 2 hours I had in the central hall that had all the main stuff.

Just checked out the booths for intel, ms, motorola, toshiba, panasonic, samsung and canon.

 

Next year I need to get a 3-4 day weekend there. Shit is huge so much to see.

Central hall is huge! (what she said)

4 parts for south hall, and I didn't even get to north hall and whatever they had setup outside.

 

OK this might be the coolest thing at CES! Automatic Electronic Focusing Eyeglasses! The glasses have some 3 micron thin film of liquid in them and if you swipe the side of the glasses it can switch from near sighted to far sighted. Also the glasses have a built-in micro accelerometer so when you look down it adjusts so you can see the ground and then when you look straight ahead it can see far away again.

Unless they changed it. But when I worked that show, North Halls 1-4 were car audio, Central 1-5 were Home Audio/Video and the south halls were wireless and wireless accessories (maybe a few other things). Silver lot was the microsoft house and a few other big tents. Cant remember what was at Hilton and Alexis Park were set up for Home Entertainment. I would roam the floors there the whole show and not see everything. Coarse, most of my time was spent in North Halls.

I drew floorplans for Mandalay Bay and Sands.. But I am not sure if they ever went over there.

 

I'm not sure that I want to charge my glasses.

 

They said the battery last usually 3 days and it comes with a dock that you can place them in at night. You don't wear your glasses to bed do you?

 

Well I'd like to put them on if I need to take a leak at 2am. I'd also like to know what mode the lenses go into if the battery dies or the electronics fail.

 

They're prescription lenses like bifocals that you use at the prescribed setting most of the time so you can see far away which they said was 70% of the time. So about 70% of the time it's using no power it's when you want to read close that you switch on the special vision with the swipe on the earpiece otherwise they're normal glasses that let you see further than 16in away. So if the power dies it's just normal farsighted glasses.

 

Hmmmm might not be able to goto this next year.

It's Jan 10-13 2012 that's tuesday thru Friday

 

sell thru is the only metric that matters

 

It's the same way Sony has forecasted sales.

 

Yes but it's well known that the kinect has been selling like crazy and that many places can't seem to keep them in stock. They even mention that in the article that due to large demand there's probably little difference between the number they've shipped to retailers and amount purchased by customers

 

The reason why they measure ships is because it's easy as hell for them to track. Measuring POS is quite difficult because not all retailers will give you their POS data free of charge. Even if every retailer that sold ps3's did, sony would have to aggregate the data from thousands of POS systems, which is a royal pita. It's much easier for them to measure what they sent out the door. Sell thru is still king when you can get it.

 

im still about kinect

 

Close your eyes and pretend theres an apple logo on it

 

har har har.

i just dont have an interest in interacting with games like how the Wii,PS Move and Kinect are.

now if it was like a Holo deck that would kick ass!

 

you only like moving your thumb, finger and wrist...
