Mac Hardware Successfully Runs Windows XP

Chalk up another first to the hacker universe. According to the "windows on mac" Web site, a hacker known only as "narf" has managed to load Windows XP on an unmodified Intel-based Apple Mac computer.

It is a feat that Apple engineers, as recently as last Thursday, said was impossible.

Hostility between ATi and NVIDIA staff starts to become physical

The 'Munchner Halle', which is a large beer house within the CeBIT Messe, is where NVIDIA traditionally holds its good natured 'partner' and press parties, and for as long back as I can remember, a really good time is had by all, and in the main without ugly incident.
