Grab them here Release Notes

The keynote will be available for streaming here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc05/ (it is not up right now, but will later today)

A lot of news from Apple today, not only are they moving to Intel but here is Quicktime 7 Public Preview: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/preview/

I suspect that they will use custom chipsets or such, so you can't run it on a cheap homebrew computer. But offcourse I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some sort of hack to circumvent it.

Frankly, he had no clue what he was talking about. It's not about specs, you buy a console or PC based on which games are available. Nintendo makes great games, so their platform should certainly not be ruled out.

First I remember was Radar Rat Race on Vic 20. Then there has been: Manic Miner (Amstrad CPC) International Karate (C64) Impossible Mission (C64) Paradroid (C64) Defender of the Crown (Amiga) Dune 2 (Amiga/PC) Secret of Monkey Island 1/2 (Amiga/PC) Bubble Bobble (Arcade Machine/Amiga)...

I'm 35. I grew up with games. My father bought a Commodore Vic 20 to play around with and I used it for gaming. Later I managed to save up for a Commodore 64. Got an Amiga as well (it was even an Amiga 1000, the first, rare, generation of Amigas).

I have also used the giganews / Newsleecher combination, in my opinion there is no better combination :D For reading news I use Forte Agent.

My computer scans for viruses every morning, but spyware I only scan once per week or so (I use both adaware and spybot for spyware scanning)

Emacs, but it definately takes some time to learn it, especially if you come from a Windows background.
