MAINFRAME VENDOR IBM has released a Linux development kit for the Open Computing Language OpenCL.

Is Math overrated in programming
Maybe but you can never know enough IMO.
"Math is the new Sanskrit, the new Latin." He believes we overestimate the value of math as a tool to assess a student's ability.

Why I never recommend DELL computers
This says it all:
In Faulty-Computer Suit, Window to Dell Decline
I've personally worked on my share of Dell PC's where you could actually see the burst capacitors on the motherboard of a pc that fails to boot :(

Handbrake
All software should be as awesome and just work like this. I've used video encoding software in the past like Nero recode and it wasn't half as intuitive and easy to use as this!
Finally found the perfect solution to recode all the flv video files I have laying around to ipod compatible format. I have QuickTime pro but it doesn't read flv files by default. Besides handbrake is pretty fast and uses all 4 cores @ 100% from what I can see.
I used the following guide:

iOS 4 Software Update
With over 100 new features, the free iOS 4 Software Update lets you do some amazing things.
I guess I didn't even blog about this major update yet. Well it's worth upgrading in my opinion just to get some video's from iTunes that refused to play in the past. For example the Julie Zelenski Stanford C++ video's would sync to the ipod but when you actually tried to play them back you would just hear the video and get a black screen for the video :(
Very annoying since I wanted to brush up on my C++ but now I can finally watch these awesome video's on the go :)

Not only is the iPhone 4 not sexy curved anymore but drops more calls now?
I figured Apple had a good reason to made the edges square(to improve reception or put bigger battery inside?) but it looks like it still failed:
Will the new Apple iPhone 4's antenna design contribute to lower signal reception? According to one antenna consultant and PCMag.com tests, it's all in how you hold the phone – or don't.
