Intel Inside out - Now in US

Another News about Intel's GREAT Success
story to remain Big in market.
This News from US (previous from EU),
where State of New York file case against
Intel to pay money to AMD.
HP is second in line not to Do or Delay
release for AMD.
Dell as my personal experience, they are
not selling direct AMD, only through
Phone and salesman will let you know
various short-comes in AMD deals, provide
better deals in Intel only (this is India's story).

if you remember EU's fine to Intel (around 3.45 billion in May),
Intel reply them with various reasons, but final
reply from EU you can read here
So, this is Intel's Inside story, US prepared
after EU, but I am not sure about my country
whether they will start find wrong business
deals or not as Intel may pay more money now
to politician or Officers than EU/US.:-)

Snow leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), Punjabi and Unicode 5.1

Newly available Mac Snow Leopard, which suppose
to be supporting Unicode 5.1 standard.
After upgrading from Mac OS X 10.5 (leopard) to
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Finally
I got that it is not supporting Punjabi (Gurmukhi) with
Unicode 5.1 standard.

Please use This Test Page to test Gurmukhi Unicode,
where you will find that following characters are missing
from fonts.
0A01
0A03
0A33 //This Test case working on 1 Mac machine, not on mine
0A51
0A75

Need to test other Indian Languages, not sure about
Apple's statement about Unicode 5.1 support whehter
it is about Indic language or not.

For Gurmukhi, need bug, going to file after confirming
with more mac users.

Fedora Rawhide installation with Basic Video driver...

Installation on AMD Chipset 785 Failed (Fedora Bug)
with Default GUI, so Tried with Basic Video driver
(during Boot option), GUI installation started, even it
was not good, but working,

after installation, it was not showing proper
resolution on my Monitor, display was not good.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file was showing 'vesa' display

install compare-locales (from Mozilla l10n tools)

To install compare-locales on Fedora Machine,
'easy_install' need to install, which is NOT
part of python-setuptools, for which I tried
many times to find and install, but it IS
part of python-setuptools-devel (mostly
devel packages don't have command useful
for user).

$yum install python-setuptools-devel

$easy_install compare-locales

so, now you can use this on Fedora to
compare your locale with english strings
How to use, please check Mozilla Website and Blogs

Fedora Repo - How Repodata/boot.iso updated without package update...

I burnt boot.iso yesterday and started today's
testing with that only (as Mailing list was showing
NO package update on rawhide mail )

After finishing installation I by mistake run
rsync script to sync with server, and wondered
to see updated Boot.iso and 'repodata' folder,
Not very sure about this, not know what is updated in
that,

So Finally I have to start my testing back.
