UK users will be able to download TV shows a week after they have been aired. The iPlayer application will only work on Windows computers but is due to be launched for the mac at a later date. Unfortunately there is no news of a linux release. The iPlayer has some promising features, such as the ability to live stream programs as well http://www.xhytex.com/bloglist.htm#6934240190661705425noreply@blogger.com (xhytex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413837.post-5653125175480717131Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:32:00 +00002007-06-11T18:39:33.896ZFor those of you who are familiar with Google maps, will be interested to see their new feature, Street View. You can now not only view roads, aeriel photos, and a hybrid of the two but now you can walk around! Thats right you cna now walk around the streets as if you were really there. Well almost.

The XBOX 360 certainly has the upper hand as it has been out a while now. Both systems bring HD gaming to the masses but you do really need a HD TV to get the most out of it. Both consoles are expensive, with the XBOX 360 being slightly cheaper but both systems have expensive games but these should come downhttp://www.xhytex.com/bloglist.htm#2336133625108447337noreply@blogger.com (xhytex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413837.post-5090881122733811782Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:26:00 +00002007-01-31T13:13:27.285ZWindows Vista was released yesturday with much anticipation. Vista comes in a number of versions the main ones being Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. I think most home users will be opting for the Home Premium version, as the Home Basic version doesnt even come with the Aero theme we have been waiting for. Home Basic even lacks support for dual processors and doesnt come with any http://www.xhytex.com/bloglist.htm#5090881122733811782noreply@blogger.com (xhytex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413837.post-4229539684209180946Fri, 05 Jan 2007 00:05:00 +00002007-01-07T18:40:04.742Z XGL is an X server architecture for linux which has lots of effects to make the most of modern graphics cards. You really have to see it for yourself, so take a peak at the YouTube Video I found. Before you start installing linux and XGL it is advised you have a NVIDIA graphics card and some linux experience otherwise you may get difficulties. http://www.xhytex.com/bloglist.htm#4229539684209180946noreply@blogger.com (xhytex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413837.post-1819033225631303988Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:38:00 +00002007-01-07T18:45:29.428ZThis has to be the most powerful graphics card available today. With a 575MHz Clock Speed, 900MHz Memory Clock and 768MB of onboard memory this will make any game now and in the future fly without any problem. This is a PCI-Express card obviously and would need a powerful computer and a large power supply to run it. This is also a DirectX 10 compatible card and will work with Windows Vista when http://www.xhytex.com/bloglist.htm#1819033225631303988noreply@blogger.com (xhytex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413837.post-6040769325292415197Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:01:00 +00002007-01-07T18:46:18.013ZQuad Core is here, bringing a new product in the multi-core line up. The performance from these processors are quite amazing, and you can get this power now! Unfortunately its quite pricey with the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 coming in at £649.98 inc VAT. There already computers being made with this processor included. One can be seen at Mesh Computers, the Elite Extreme QX G80.
