Radeon HD 4890: First Benchmarks Rather Disappointing
The NDA ended yesterday for the RAdeon HD 4890, and several dedicated websites have flooded the net with numerous tests, all aiming to demonstrate if the Radeon HD 4890 is the expected killer graphic card.
As a reminder, it features a higher clocked GPU (100 MHz) and memory (75 MHz) when compared to the Radeon HD 4870. Performance are globally in line the clock frequency difference or gain, however the card seems to be rather noisy. this might be the cost to pay for a card with a high potential to be overclocked (most card tested have reached 1 GHz for the GPU).
we are currently working on a procedure to flash such card to make it working in a Mac by using the ROM EFI from the Mac Radeon HD 4870. It was so far unsuccessful, we are still working on it.
It seems that the retailed version of the Radeon HD 4870 is still blocked to 4-5 weeks shipping delay on the Apple Store... problem with stocks or production?

Microsoft Office On iPhone: April Fools Joke without the Punchline?
I’m a huge fan of April Fools Day. Some don’t get into the spirit of it, but I abask the settin of fooled or be fooled. What I don’t like is when someone makes an April Fools joke, but forget to those involved that it really is a gag. That’s what I take away from this TechCrunch article. That or it could be true.
According to Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft Business Division, we coud be seeing Microsoft Office heading to the iPhone. The rumor has been circulating for quite some time now, but nothing substantial to report until now. No details were mentioned in the article, which leaves me with a suspicious feeling.
Also, I don’t understand why a Microsoft Office program would be so useful on the iPhone. Specifically the text editor. The iPhone isn’t exactly known for its writing capabilities.
So, what’s your take on the rumors, real or fake?
Changes moves to 1.5, adds new features, gives TUAW readers a discount
Filed under: Software, Developer, Deals
Changes.app, the ultimate Mac application used to track changes in folders and text files, was recently updated to version 1.5. This new version easily integrates with Coda, Espresso, BBEdit, TextWrangler, and TextMate. When you launch Changes, you will be able to install plug-ins directly into those application right from the Changes menu item.
There is a new HUD (Heads Up Display) that allows you to view changes from within the supported applications. Changes can also interface with Subversion, CVS, Perforce, Mercurial, Git, Bazaar, and Darcs for versioning control. With this new version, there is also built-in AppleScript support.
Even if you're not a developer, or don't use the applications or versioning control systems that are mentioned, you can still find Changes to be useful. Anyone, not just developers, may find it useful to be able to look for differences between two support files or folders.
You can download a 15-day free trial of Changes from their website. Single-user licenses are $49.95 each.

Streaming iPhone via bluetooth in the car
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Software, Odds and ends, Bluetooth, Apple, iPhone, iPod touch
There are, as usual, some catches. I for one was disappointed to hear that this A2DP ability won't work with first-gen iPhones like mine -- you'll need to have a 3G to do something like this. And of course, this will require the iPhone OS 3.0, which isn't technically out yet (though devs in Apple's development program are playing with it right now, which is why you can see it in the video above). And finally, you'll need a car with the Bluetooth capability, which (though I haven't owned or shopped for a car for a few years, so maybe things have changed a bit) is still kind of hard to find.
But hey, even if you're not there yet, here's a look at the future. Where we're going, you won't need wires to get your iPod playing music on the car stereo.

Apple proposes iPhone that calls security agency when stolen
In the latest installment of Apple's iPhone security-related patent filings, the Cupertino-based company describes the implementation of loss prevention software that would notify a security agency in the event the handset is lost or stolen, which could in turn lead to a police officer being dispatched to the current location of the device based on GPS coordinates.
