The converter gives different results between the motherboards with chipset ich7 and ich8 when I install OSX pc version.

At first, I use the converter on Gigabyte 945P to connect the ide drives to the sata ports on the motherboard. It works perfect in OSX PC system, no matter harddisks or DVD writers. You can take the unit combining the harddisk and the converter equal to a REAL sata drive.

Because the ich8 does not support IDE devices, I consider it would be a good way to build sata drives. When I connect IDE hardisk and DVD drive to the sata ports of the motherboard Gigabyte 965P-DS3, DVD drive can not boot and hardisk can not be shown in Disk Utility. I am sure the CMOS are configured right (disable sata native mode), and the real sata harddisks are shown.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has its own YouTube account. As of today, it has already uploaded 55 videos that feature tips, traffic trivia, and other advices that will help educate drivers of all ages about good (and not to mention legal) driving skills and etiquette.

And by the way, they also have a myspace account where visitors can post questions regarding traffic rules and stuff.

Hmm… not a bad idea! I think this is a pretty unconventional yet promising way to improve public service. To tell you the truth, I’d rather watch DMV videos than a toilet-flushing cat.

One thing we have noticed in the past years is that media has been offered aggressively towards demanding people who want to get them first hand on the web. Sites such as Youtube and Metaface have taken on the challenge but if you will notice, they are not as fine as we would see on normal TV broadcasts.

Internet connection is the main reason for these choppy connections and with bigger data needed to allow people to see them, expect upgrades in providing faster and reliable connection on the web in the coming years. With that in mind, expect as well new media to be served on the web.

So as you can see, it is a cat and mouse thing. Improve your service to open new gateways for innovation. That’s just how it works.
