More on CherryOS, PPC on Intel

Snippets from the article:

Kryeziu recommends a 2-GHz processor, but said the software runs quite happily on a 1-GHz laptop. He said it is capable of simultaneously running Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Internet Explorer and Safari, among other programs.

“It’s like running OS X on my G3 laptop,” Kryeziu explained. “There’s some pauses, but it’s not too bad.”

…

“On a fast system, it’s just as fast as running on a Mac,” he said.

…

Kryeziu said he has already started work on a stand-alone version of CherryOS that can be installed and run without Windows. He said Maui X-Stream has hired a couple of programmers to help.

“It will take a lot of development,” he said. “We’re looking at January or February next year.”

Centaur, the New Segway 4-Wheel Prototype

Here we go again!!
Quote:
Like the mythical half-horse, half-man of Greek lore, Concept Centaur combines the best of several technologies to create an innovative whole. The result of exploration by Segway LLC’s product development team, Concept Centaur will challenge the way you think about four-wheeled transportation.

From time to time Segway’s product development team devotes days, or even weeks, to creating new product concepts with the goal of finding a prince among frogs. It’s a product exploration process they call “frog kissing.” During this time, engineers and designers are encouraged to use any available materials in a very short time frame to prove a concept will work.A sketch of the Centaur concept.

Recently, the product development team demonstrated that Concept Centaur was a prince—a concept that passed this initial feasibility test, but is not yet ready to become a product. Concept Centaur demonstrates Segway’s continued commitment to breakthrough innovation and the innumerable possibilities for the future of personal transportation.
