Feb 18 05:28:48 <cbxbiker61> hi, rabeeh, are you around?
Feb 18 05:30:50 <cbxbiker61> I wonder what's up with accessing irc.freenode.net from bitchx.  Used to work.  I've tried it from two different machines.
Feb 18 05:58:40 <cbxbiker> So I guess irc.freenode.net changed their port from 6667 to 8001, that'd be the reason bitchx wasn't connecting.
Feb 18 05:59:42 <cbxbiker> I guess I'll try out Konversation.  I'm really a KDE4 kinda guy anyway.
Feb 18 06:42:35 <cbxbiker> Time to play with my new Cowon S9.  This thing has a screen that is unbelievable!
Feb 18 14:50:52 <rabeeh> cbxbiker61: i'm here
Feb 18 14:55:24 <eFfeM-work> hi rabeeh
Feb 18 14:55:36 <rabeeh> eFfeM-work: hi
Feb 18 14:55:47 <eFfeM-work> how are you, haven't seen you for a while
Feb 18 14:56:22 <rabeeh> i'm good. been busy alot with CES. and took ~2weeks off afterwards
Feb 18 14:56:58 <eFfeM-work> ah cool, 2 weeks off in the US or @ home ?
Feb 18 14:57:18 <rabeeh> home - with kids
Feb 18 14:57:22 * eFfeM-work likes utah & colorado but never got the opportunity to visit in winter
Feb 18 14:57:45 <eFfeM-work> home with kids is fun too (at least most of the time :-) )
Feb 18 14:57:50 <rabeeh> Colorado is fantastic
Feb 18 14:58:17 <eFfeM-work> we've been there last summer :-)
Feb 18 14:58:24 <rabeeh> well, it starts ok but in some time you miss the adrenaline flow in Marvell :)
Feb 18 14:58:30 <eFfeM-work> :-)
Feb 18 14:58:50 <eFfeM-work> saw globalscale announced some nice devices
Feb 18 14:59:33 <eFfeM-work> have you been involved in those ?
Feb 18 15:00:39 <rabeeh> r u refering to Guru plug?
Feb 18 15:00:54 <eFfeM-work> yes
Feb 18 15:00:57 <rabeeh> they did those themselves.
Feb 18 15:01:20 <eFfeM-work> any plans left for a plug with an armada 500 or so in it
Feb 18 15:01:36 <rabeeh> Armada 510? (aka Dove)
Feb 18 15:01:47 <eFfeM-work> yes
Feb 18 15:01:57 <eFfeM-work> 510 (forgot the exact number)
Feb 18 15:02:24 <eFfeM-work> would be a lot nicer than the guru one with display
Feb 18 15:02:35 <rabeeh> with an HDMI?
Feb 18 15:02:44 <rabeeh> or DVI
Feb 18 15:03:10 <rabeeh> well; you can search in youtube and find for yourself :)
Feb 18 15:03:32 <eFfeM-work> the guru one has hdmi iirc, but is probably limited to 720p
Feb 18 15:03:42 <rabeeh> not guru.
Feb 18 15:03:47 <rabeeh> hold on; i will send a link
Feb 18 15:04:50 <eFfeM-work> guru plug dislpay has hdmi: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-33-guruplug-display.aspx
Feb 18 15:05:14 <rabeeh> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1Xl0Br3xuA
Feb 18 15:05:29 <rabeeh> you can skip to minute 4:30 and see the big black reference design
Feb 18 15:06:34 <eFfeM-work> will watch; info on hdmi is from http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-4-guruplugs.aspx but if I click thru the pics do not show a hdmi connector
Feb 18 15:07:01 <rabeeh> this one is not from globalscale (from other vendor)
Feb 18 15:08:26 <eFfeM-work> ahah
Feb 18 15:08:37 <eFfeM-work> the famous e-box (if i recall the name correctly)
Feb 18 15:08:42 <rabeeh> HD 1080p playback
Feb 18 15:08:54 <rabeeh> similar to ebox (other vendor)
Feb 18 15:09:28 <rabeeh> 2d/3d engine, HDMI out etc...
Feb 18 15:16:52 <suihkulokki> humm, familiar guy in that video =)
Feb 18 15:19:45 <tinker-f595> Supposedly 1 of the "GuruPlug Display" models will have hdmi http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-33-guruplug-display.aspx
Feb 18 15:20:02 <tinker-f595> They have it in the feature list but not the picture
Feb 18 15:22:15 <tinker-f595> rabeeh: is it likely that the Armada 510 based notebook Marvell showed at CES will come to market?
Feb 18 15:24:36 <rabeeh> tinker-f595: This is confidential info - i can't really share - sorry :(
Feb 18 15:25:27 <tinker-f595> ok
Feb 18 15:25:39 <tinker-f595> I understand
Feb 18 15:26:02 <tbm> that notebook looked very hot
Feb 18 15:26:04 <tinker-f595> Hey I would buy it
Feb 18 15:26:09 <tinker-f595> yes it did
Feb 18 15:26:10 <tbm> I just wonder how much RAM it has and what kind of storage
Feb 18 15:26:14 <tinker-f595> very hot
Feb 18 15:26:54 <suihkulokki> tinker-f595: well, if you think there is market and nobody else goes for it, you should start your own business making them ;)
Feb 18 15:27:13 <tinker-f595> rabeeh:   is 2 GB the theoretical maximum ram for an openRD or sheevaplug?
Feb 18 15:28:10 <tinker-f595> suihkulokki: If I new who to ORM order them from I might consider that.
Feb 18 15:28:53 <tinker-f595> Now if I could get one with a screen from Mary Lou Jepson's PixelQi that would be cool
Feb 18 15:29:15 <rabeeh> 2GB is limited by Kirkwood chip; but there is no box around that exposes that amount of memory.
Feb 18 15:29:56 <rabeeh> Discovery development board uses DIMMs that can go that high (Debian, Fedora, Gentoo and Ubuntu armv5 projects use that as build machines)
Feb 18 15:30:21 <rabeeh> it's an extremey thin notebook; very lightweight
Feb 18 15:30:34 <tinker-f595> rabeeh: it would be nice to have that amount of ram for running things like jabber or voip servers with many connections
Feb 18 15:31:20 <tbm> well, you need 2 GB RAM for Firefox :)
Feb 18 15:31:33 <rabeeh> tbm: you mean Iceweasel :)
Feb 18 15:31:44 <tinker-f595> rabeeh: from the video clips sot at CES it looked like a really cool notebook.  Wish I had been able to get to CES 2010 so I could of played with the notebook
Feb 18 15:32:24 <rabeeh> tinker-f595: they are indeed; they run full distros; chrome-os and others
Feb 18 15:32:36 <tinker-f595> tbm: well that is less than you need to run Windows.... oh yes Windows does not run on Marvell which good as far as I am concerned.  Don't like the sound of broken glass
Feb 18 15:33:31 <tbm> rabeeh: can you tell what storage the notebook has?
Feb 18 15:33:55 <tbm> are we talking about sata disk (notebook) or flash (netbook) here
Feb 18 15:33:56 <tinker-f595> rabeeh: Well if you need people to "test market" the notebooks to you can find a bunch of potential customers here
Feb 18 15:34:59 <rabeeh> tbm: they come both. today chromeos requires SSD drive (mainly for fast boot) but besides that all other operating system are flexible
Feb 18 15:35:32 <rabeeh> tbm: if it goes as media streamer like, then it typically comes with no storage; just a simple internal NAND flash for firmware and that's it.
Feb 18 15:36:23 <tinker-f595> is there space for a 1.8"  or 2.5" hard disk drive?
Feb 18 15:36:28 <tinker-f595> in the case
Feb 18 15:36:42 <tinker-f595> or just ssd
Feb 18 15:37:47 <tinker-f595> just that ssd are stilll kind of pricey
Feb 18 15:58:47 <rabeeh> tinker-f595: typically in those systems; SSD would be few GBytes (something like up to 8 or 16)
Feb 18 15:59:10 <tinker-f595> 16 GB would not be too bad
Feb 18 15:59:14 <rabeeh> it wouldn't be for storing video content; only some files along with the firmware
Feb 18 15:59:46 <tinker-f595> I assume there is an esata connection so you could use an external drive for storage of content
Feb 18 16:13:11 <tinker-f595> watching the video -- so Quanta is the OEM it seems.  That is interesting as OLPC is moving to ARM for the next generation XO and currently uses Quanta as their OEM
Feb 18 18:46:35 <armin76> rabeeh: did you read that chromeos is switching to gentoo for the build system!? :D
