With movies being all the rage, I guess Olive is trying to capitalize on the ever dwindling music-only systems. The thing looks slick, but $1800 for this device is pretty ridiculous considering a $200 linux server can do most of this. Engadget As with the models that have come before, this ultra high-end music server packs loads of internal […]
Read moreIt seems like every day we have news regarding this, but this time it looks like it’s official! According to Ed Bott, this RTM build is officially the 7600.16385 which leaked to the torrent sites a few days ago…no surprise there. Windows7 Team Blog As I mentioned previously, RTM officially happens only after sign-off occurs. What happens is a build […]
Read moreRaise your hand if you remember "THX-Certification" being in reference to sound.
