Let's not forget we, the webmasters, create the content for Google to serve as search results...

The least they can do is help us out!

Gruber's comments on Microsoft are so dead on...

Retitled after "link-bating" accusation. I disagree, but let's all hug :)

brilliant.

I'd like to be clear right now what this article is about. It's about Apple's choice to get frameworks such as Core Image and OpenGL to direct which graphics card the Mac should use, and how by doing this, there have been some unusual cases whereby some applications cause the dedicated graphics card to be enabled, and continue to be enabled. This leads to a detrimental effect on battery life which is the exact opposite for putting this in place. With this in mind... read on.

exactly... The idea is great, but needs more thought, because as you rightly suggest, not all 3D graphics = intensive, and not all types of app (ie status bar apps doing nothing) require discrete graphics card switch on 100% of the time...

THIS, is the issue.

I clearly understand this, the point is that Apple choosing to use discrete for all apps that may slightly use core image for example is overkill...

interested if any other hackernews users have used this on the beta?

apols for the repost - there was a bug that needed fixing!

True, but its not fair to have make irrational statements that open source is crap either...

I'm interested too if its better or worse... I just made it to be browser/platform agnostic.

Seeing as my traffic for this article has gone x5 over previous "popular" articles on HN with more points in a faster time, I'm pretty sure the word "Sexy" has an impact... :-)

It's not my combo box... I simply linked to a developers plugin.

Most of the examples are compatible with IE6+ which is encouraging...

Let me go further... I used to work at EMI from June 05 - Dec 08 in their Global Technology Department.

I worked for a record label... :-)

sry all had to re-submit as the url broke... must stop playing with WP_Admin

Just heard from the MT Community Director that they are going to reply as we've "raised some valid points"... watch this space.

It gets worse for those affected: http://weblog.mediatemple.net/weblog/2009/03/01/cluster-2-im...

Sounds like there's gonna be some financial compensation according to some messages from MT on Twitter to customers voicing their disapproval at the now 24+ hours downtime.

20 hrs now. It's not looking good... So glad I'm on cluster 4. Twitter is full of unhappy campers.

This has been compounded by the outage earlier this week too on the same cluster!

Definitely with you there, if you can handle the complex urls, then go for it...

This is obviously fixed now... MT FTW! :-)

Well, MediaTemple have screwed my site. I'm sorry all...

Done - you're right.

I'm with you buddy! :-)

You're right. It's not like we weren't aware of making these mistakes, we were so clouded and close to the project that you become blind to them. You need to force your way out of that...

Thanks again, will add these points

yeah, thanks - we have this one on our list... Unsure if it's fixable though...

Thank you - Totally get what you mean - Will have a think.

Thank you... good feedback. I have added some simple instructions in the web view for now to get people started...
