| 11-27-05 / 11:24 PM : Akoustik Piano VS The Grand 2 VS Complete Piano (cjed) |
| Audiofanzine definitively does a great job these days to catch up with paper audio magazines, providing a lot of deep reviews ! This time we get a comparative test (big, 10 pages !) of new virtual pianos NI Akoustik Piano and Steinberg The Grand 2. Some recordings are provided, made from the same midifiles, in order to make its own opinion. I added the ultimate test, a recording made from my XV-5050 and the Complete Piano card. With only 64 Mo (7 Go for NI's one and 3,5 for Steinberg's one) it is another proof that sample size isn't the sole factor, experience from manufacturers like Roland is a plus (the same is true for Kurzweil's pianos) : Tenderly (Complete Piano - SuperbGrand) Tenderly (Complete Piano - SuperbGrandJ4) Tenderly (Akoustik Piano - Steinway) Tenderly (The Grand II) Tenderly (KurzweilPC88) s |

| 11-21-05 / 10:09 PM : 10.4.3 cracked for Intel / graphic acceleration (cjed) |
| MacOSX 10.4.3 might now work on every Intel PC (even old), and for the first time take profit from hardware accelerated graphics (Quartz Extreme, Core Image) through ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. In these forums from osx86project some think Apple will use an Intel graphic chip in the first Mactel, meanly for cost purposes. |

| 11-20-05 / 04:58 PM : Ready for Google Analytics (cjed) |
 The site is now integrated with Google Analytics, a free service available to holders of a Gmail account. It will provide complementary analysis data to Free reporting panels, and is aimed towards bizness (sales analysis, popularity counters for internet ads incomes). Indeed it can work seamlessly with AdWords, another Google service.When subscribing to Google Analytics, i didn't receive any confirmation email (precisely i couldn't finish the last subscription step, i got a blank page - it was probably due to high demand), however some days after i could connect to the service. Then i only had to add this tracking code in a global page (include page). The personnal tracking code can be obtained in the Analytics Settings > Tracking Status. <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct="UA-xxxx-x"; urchinTracker(); </script> As Macgénération said in this news, " l'information n'est pas non plus essentielle, on en conviendra" :) : Google Analytics doesnt's work well with Safari (ok under Firefox). Fot those willing to continue using Safari, i found a fix in this article, you just have to make the page render again, changing for example the text size (through Apple "-" and Apple "+" keys combination).

| 11-16-05 / 11:48 AM : SW Force FX Lightsabers (cjed) |
 ThinkGeek sells "lightsabers" alla Starwars at 119$. Obviously the blade is not retractable nor removable, it's made of polycarbonate, but the glowing effect is progressive, from bottom to top. Moreover original sound effects are included, and they are dynamic (thanks to motion sensors). There are 3 versions, it's here.We can find them at the Fnac (149 euros, promo) or cinereplicas.fr, notably Luke Skywalker's saber. |
