Open Tech has unveiled Open Tech XT, a computer  capable of running OS X Leopard, Windows Vista 64bit, Windows Xp 64bit, and Ubuntu 8.04, and other open source operating systems.

Below is the hardware specifications of Open Tech XT:

  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz Processor
  • 4GB DDR2 800MHz Memory
  • 640GB Hard drive- 7200 RPM
  • Optical Drive (RW)
  • CoolerMaster ATX Mid-Tower Case
  • Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11g

With Open Tech XT running OS X Leopard,  it appears that Open Tech is unaware of Apple’s EULA, which specifically states that OS X Leopard should only run on Apple systems. However, Open Tech doesn’t ship their XT system with OS X preloaded compared to Psystar Corporation’s off-label Mac clones. It does ship with instructions on how to get Leopard up and running on it, though. Hmmnnn, I wonder what steps will Apple take to  stop Open Tech from becoming an Apple clone.

The first real Flying Saucer

Chinese company named Harbin Smart Special Aerocraft has developed a flying saucer prototype that can hover in the air and can be controlled remotely. The aircraft is 1.2 metres (4 feet in diameter and is able to take off and land vertically and hover at an altitude of up to 1,000 metres.

The unmanned craft is driven by a propeller and can be controlled remotely or sent on a preset flight path. Unfortunately, it is unable to transport anything heavier than a cat. Its top speed is 80 kilometres (50 miles) per hour.

It took the Chinese company 12 years and 28 million yuan ($4.1 million) to develop the prototype craft, which is designed for aerial photography and geological surveys.

Obama for Whitehouse!

Congratulations to Sen. Barack Obama for winning more than the 2,118 delegates needed to capture the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination and for being the first African-American to lead a major party’s ticket.

Obama in Whitehouse would do a lot to change the perception of the US in the world, and the reality, greatly for the better.
