			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Orlando Attractions Magazine has gained possession of some of the concept art for the new stores and restaurants coming soon to Downtown Disney. Some interesting notes from the photos:</p>
<p>-Mickey’s T-Shirt Factory will replace or take up most of the Wonderful World of Memories store next to the Art of Disney in the Downtown Disney Marketplace.</p>
<p>-The new restaurant replacing the Rock N’ Roll Beach Club on Pleasure Island will most likely be named “El Dolbe”.</p>
<p>-Portobello Yacht Club will make a minor name change, menu changes, and an interior renovation when its changes occur.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>In a rare example of the PC&#8217;s performance tuning culture translating to the Mac, a new utility has surfaced that lets Mac Pro owners overclock their systems beyond Apple&#8217;s official specifications.</strong></p>

<div id="related_stories"></div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The German edition of <em>ZDNet</em> has posted a utility dubbed <a href="http://www.zdnet.de/enterprise/mac/hardware/0,39038647,39192217-1,00.htm">ZDNet Clock Tool</a> that allows owners of the Intel-based Mac workstations to push the clock speeds of their Xeon processors significantly higher &#8212; with leaps from 2.8GHz to 3.24GHz for more recent systems.</p>
<p>Proven to work by those <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/06/28/overclocking-tool-for-the-mac-pro/">in the Mac community</a>, the approach also increases the speed of the system bus and the memory as a result, though Apple&#8217;s choice of hardware ironically suits it better to the process than many gaming-oriented parts for Windows computers: as the Mac Pro must use RAM with error correction, it prevents an excessive overclock from ruining data on the hard drive by making sure that only valid data leaves system memory.</p>
<p>The clock difference is enough to provide a tangible &#8220;free&#8221; upgrade in performance to the systems, though this isn&#8217;t always measurable. In synthetic tests such as Geekbench, the software can incorrectly report similar performance even though timing the results proves that they&#8217;re above what would happen at Apple&#8217;s officially rated clock speeds.</p>
<p>However, unlike most overclocks, the technique requires a certain degree of trickery and carries an extra amount of risk. The current version of the tool works by loading a kernel extension into Mac OS X on boot that forces the clock speeds upwards immediately after the system starts. Without it, the Mac Pro would immediately revert back to its stock speeds the moment the system is rebooted, according to <em>ZDNet</em>.  The initial beta app can also sometimes be overridden when the Mac comes out of sleep mode.</p>
<p>Like most overclocking, the technique is also limited by the nature of the hardware. At present, the German experimenters are unable to push past the 3.24GHz barrier without an inherently unreliable system. The faster processor speeds eventually overwhelm the memory and prevent it from correcting every error, triggering a kernel panic in Mac OS X that forces a reboot. High-performance third-party memory that operates above spec is described as the only real solution to this problem.</p>
<p>System time also falls out of sync without the expected clock rates and can&#8217;t be corrected even by calibrating the computer online, the testers say. Instead, a reboot is necessary to at least temporarily provide accurate timekeeping.</p>
<p>While very much a beta version and potentially dangerous &#8212; the possibility exists that the system won&#8217;t start up correctly &#8212; the utility is the first known that modifies core system performance on Intel-based Macs. Until recently, most overclocking utilities for Macs have dwelt on ramping up clock speeds on video cards to eke out more 3D performance for games.</p>

<p>A reference in the late beta version of iTunes available with iPhone SDK Beta 8 and discovered by <em>Mac Rumors</em> directly points to a new Apple-made program that will navigate tracks on Macs and Windows PCs from any of Apple&#8217;s current handhelds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home &#8212; a free download from the App Store,&#8221; it reads.</p>
<p>While the depth of control offered by the app is still very much unknown, the virtually confirmed existence of such an app fulfills a longstanding desire at Apple to use its touchscreen devices as makeshift remote controls. A patent originally filed as early as December 2005 hinted at plans for a wireless iTunes remote that would collect track data from a nearby computer and give users more control than just the pause, skip, and volume controls from most remotes, including Apple&#8217;s own white stick remote bundled with some Macs.</p>
<p>A remote control function has also been hidden in recent iPhone betas  but at the time didn&#8217;t provide enough evidence of its ultimate function.</p>
<p>Beyond the new remote functionality, iTunes 7.7 is also known to add an Applications tab to let users specify loading only certain software on the phone, and will be necessary for both iPhone 3G and the MobileMe sync service.</p>
<p>Apple has simultaneously begun accepting submissions of programs from members of its iPhone Development Program that are ready to post their content to the App Store, ensuring the service will be stocked ahead of its formal debut on July 11th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chalk this one up as just another rumor for now, but whispers around the Chinese web have it that China Unicom could be netting Apple&#8217;s latest handset (yeah, that 3G one) this August. If you&#8217;ll recall, Steve had issues in the past getting Chinese carriers to buy into his demanding revenue sharing model, but now that those days are gone, we suspect talks may go a little smoother. And c&#8217;mon, Apple didn&#8217;t add in Chinese character recognition for kicks and giggles, now did it? As of now, China Mobile has yet to make a peep on the rumblings, but we&#8217;ve only got a few months before finding out either way.</p>

<p>Whenever we’re asked “when is Firefox going to be released” we endeavor to answer to the best of our abilities, but the truth of the matter is that we’ll only ever ship <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/ftr/2008/02/11/when-its-ready/">“when it’s ready”</a>. We have a lot of indicators that help us understand when the product is ready for release: feedback from our pre-release milestones, excitement in the community and the press, availability of compatible Add-Ons, and a large active beta community helping us ensure that the release is compatible with all the various sites on the Internet.</p>
<p>After more than 34 months of active development, and with the contributions of thousands, we’re proud to announce that we’re ready. It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th. Put on your <a href="http://mozillaparty.com/">party hats</a> and <a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/worldrecord">get ready to download Firefox 3</a> — the best web browser, period.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a long, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/the-second-gen-iphone-3g-gps-only-slightly-thicker/">leak-filled</a> wait, but Apple finally took the wraps off its 3G iPhone. Thinner edges, full plastic back, flush headphone jack, and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-2-0-free-in-early-july-for-all-iphone-owners-9-95-for-i/">iPhone 2.0</a> firmware &#8212; Apple&#8217;s taking a lot of the criticisms to heart from the first time around. Obviously 3G is at the forefront, but they&#8217;re also making sure it&#8217;s available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs 3rd party apps&#8230; and does it all for cheaper. Apple claims its 3G speeds trounce the competition, with pageloads 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750 &#8212; and of course it completely trounces the old EDGE data speeds.</p>
<p>Battery life isn&#8217;t getting put out to pasture though, with 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. GPS is also a go. Apple is using A-GPS, which supplements regular satellite GPS data with info from cellular towers for faster location. (WiFi data is also worked into the mix, which should give users a pretty solid lock on where the heck they are on this planet.) Unfortunately, as expected there&#8217;s no front-facing cam, and while its edges are thinner than before it&#8217;s still about a millimeter thicker at the center (12.3mm over 11.6mm before). Apple hopes to launch in 70 countries this year, with the black 8GB going for $199 and 16GB for $299 in black or white. (Both price points require a contract, of course.) Apple will be hitting the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/the-lucky-22-countries-receiving-iphone-3g-on-july-11th/">22 biggest markets</a>, including the US, on July 11th. More info after the break.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update:</span> Just bought an iPhone? Listen up: &#8220;Customers who purchased a 2.5G iPhone on or after May 27 and want to swap it out for a new iPhone will be able to do so without incurring an additional handset charge for the new device. They will of course need to turn in their 2.5G iPhone.&#8221; And for the rest of you, AT&amp;T says there&#8217;s no way to buy it without agreeing to a contract. So sorry.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you may recognize that Twitter’s recent downtime issues are a result of its architectural problems exposed by its rapid growth. However, back in the day (that is, January and the preceding months), Twitter used to crash the old fashioned way — when large events would bring a burst of usage. One of those events was the last Steve Jobs keynote at MacWorld in January.</p>
<p>Now another one is upon us.</p>
<p>Jobs will give the keynote at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday morning (10 AM PST). The question is: Given Twitter’s current state is there anyway it can stay online during the whole event?</p>
<p>The smart money is of course on “no” — but Twitter has surprised before, staying up for the majority of this year’s South By Southwest (SXSW) conference despite everyone believing it would crash and burn.</p>
<p>The next question is: What is everyone going to use if Twitter does go down? Sure, you could just constantly reload the websites covering the event (including VentureBeat), but it will probably be more efficient to get news via a micro-messaging platform.</p>
<p>The problem when Twitter goes down is that all of its users fragment over a number of sites. FriendFeed, Pownce, Jaiku, Brightkite — these are all contenders for the sloppy-seconds. Which one will you use if Twitter fails during WWDC? Let me know and I’ll try to meet you there. We need a back-up plan.</p>
<p>I’ve contacted Twitter to see if it was working something, such as disabling certain features, to help the service live through the keynote. I’l update if I hear back.</p>
<p><strong>update</strong>: Twitter co-founder Biz Stone tells me that Twitter does in fact have a plan in place to stay up during the keynote. He also notes that they have a fun idea for the event (he didn’t elaborate on what). He also said that the backup plan is in fact to disable certain features as needed to keep the service up.</p>
