He's away playing with the new HD video camera that he got this week.

Intel has promised EIGHTY core chips in the next five years. They're already spinning prototypes, nice to own your own fab...

80 cores on one chip. I can barely get my head around it.

O I'm happy as hell that I didn't buy a Mac Pro yet. Technology is just moving too fast... but I would at least like to be stuck with an 8 core Mac Pro instead of a 4 core. An 8 core has already been tested in the exsiting Mac Pro's just by upgrading the CPUs... works perfectly from what I read.

Getting the feel of the baby... its like playing the piano... setting white balance, manual zooming all the while adjusting focus and iris control. I'm like an HD cowboy in my backyard for now... got to practice before I can become a shooter on the street. ;D
