Last Graphic Driver update disable nVidia’s CUDA

August 21st, 2010 iAPX Comments off

Since the last update of the graphic drivers on my MacBook Pro, I didn’t have no more access to CUDA (nVidia GPGPU tools and drivers), and each time my laptop start, the CUDA System Preference display this message:

CUDA is now disabled on my MacBook Pro!

CUDA is now disabled on my MacBook Pro!

Sorry Apple, but you screwed my development environment!

PS: As stated, this is the newest graphic drivers from Apple but they are not compatible with actual CUDA Drivers!

No flash on iPad? +1

February 9th, 2010 iAPX Comments off

For me, to not have Flash player plug-on in iPad is not a weakness, it’s a feature, a competitive feature, the kinda that make it better than the other, more resistant to internet attack and less likely to crash for any reason!

There is a bug in Flash Player, that is there since 2008, known from Adobe, correctly reported, and that crash any version of Flash Player since 2 years, whatever you patch or not!

If you follow this link, Flash Player will crash, and your browser may crash too (Safari 4 security model protect it against the crash). Don’t follow link if you have other browsing windows open you may loose them all.

Do you imagine having a security bug, known since 2008 in your iPhone or iPod Touch, that will crash it anytime? And an editor not willing to correct it in the following day, nor even within weeks, not even months but YEARS???

I don’t want to have Adobe Flash Player on my iPhone or my future iPad, and I would like to get ride of it on my computer!

PS: I forgot to tell about CPU cycle consumption and memory use of Flash, that render it totally useless on mobile devices! Something that s**k on a Core2 Duo 2×2.8Ghz will be totally unresponsive on ARM at 0.6Ghz! You must try Flash on a Pentium3 500Mhz, to have an idea of what will be delivered!
