Live Mesh Expands To Three More Countries

CNET reports that Microsoft has expanded its open invitation to join its Live Mesh service to people in Ireland, India and Canada, joining those in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand who already have access to Live Mesh without an invitation.
However, there’s still a cap of the numbers allowed from India, Canada and Ireland.

So what does Live Mesh do? At the moment it stands as a way to synchronize data among a number of computers, but the eventual aim is to move desktop apps to cloud computing and vice versa, as well as synchronizing among multiple devices.

So far, though, Macs would appear to be off the list. But on several occasions a tantalizing link has appeared on the site for an early version of a Mac client, although this has always been promptly removed by Microsoft.

It’s expected that Microsoft will broaden its Live Mesh testing and add new features before its holds the Professional Developers Conference in October.

Team Red, which has traditionally served as a downward force on prices against much more popular Nvidia GPUs, is caught in the middle of a graphics card market that's headed in two vastly different directions.

Although AMD has yet to formally unveil its RDNA 4 graphics cards, the company has confirmed that it's coming early next year. The details about AMD's next-gen GPUs are still up in the air, but you don't need any official specs or benchmarks to see the precarious position that AMD is in. The company's next-gen graphics cards already have two big problems -- Nvidia, which likely will pursue flagship dominance, and AMD itself.

Why I traded my MacBook Air for a laptop you’ve never heard of
Honor MagicBook Art 14 Snapdragon with screen on.

I’ve been using the M2 MacBook Air since its launch, and it has been a reliable laptop. It's not perfect though. I wish the display was better and that the laptop was lighter as I’ve had experiences where my carry-on luggage ended up being heavier than expected.
