CCC: collective statement "data storage in unacceptable"
CCC: »In a collective statement advocats of data protection and consumer protection as well as journalists speak out against the "precautionary telecommunication data storage".
The systematic record and storage of information about the communication, movements and media use of the entire population ("precautionary data storage") without the approval of the people in question is unacceptable. This doesn't bring about a better protection from crime, costs millions of euros, endagers the privacy and security of innocent people, affects confidential communication and levels the way into a mass surveillance of the population, which is further extending.«

IBM is planning POWER 6 CPUs with more than 5 GHz / Freescale joins Power.org
Concerning the clock speed IBM power processors had to stand back behind the competition so far. At the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2006 IBM now showed that the POWER 6 processors, which are still under way, can absolutely manage more than 5 GHz and a higher clock speed.
Update: (18:10, 07.02.06, snx)
Furthermore, Motorola spin-off Freescale Semiconductor has joined Power.org, an organisation focused on development around IBM’s POWER architecture.
Freescale and IBM plan several key collaborative efforts, including creating a common instruction set architecture, developing innovations to extend the POWER processors to a broader set of customer applications, enabling Linux on the architecture, and expanding the ecosystem through marketing programs.
Recently, also the Pegasos II design has been published at Power.org (amiga-news.de reported). (ps) (Translation: iw)

GUI system: Feelin version 060207
Olivier Laviale has published a new version of his GUI system Feelin (Screenshots: 1, 2). Versions for AmigaOS 3 and 4 are available, a MorphOS version will follow in the near future. The most important changes:
- SYSTEM: It's now possible to create meta-classes. This feature was already possible since classes are also objects but now it's really working The EXIT end INIT optionnal code is now deprecated, you must create a meta-class to create/delete private data.
- SYSTEM: The memory system has been improved further more and is now even faster. The F_DisposeP() function is now deprecated since, with the new techniques, F_Dispose() finds the right memory chunk to dispose on the first try (less than 1% of missing). The developer can also tweak the memory system to enable memory walls, memory marking, custom patterns to fill new/allocated/disposed memory...
- XML: Entities support has been added and is widely used. The attributes used to generate objects are now typed. XML parsing has been improved furthermore and FC_Document provides nicer methods.
- EVENTS: Windows are no longer handled by the application they belong to, but a new shared object named "WinServer". This server is also an anchor for various inputs such as window events, mouse buttons and movements, key stroke... but also pophelp, timer, wbdrop... it also add special features which are not available with Intuition such as unactivable windows (usefull with menus and popups).
- DAMAGED RENDERING: A new technique called "damaged rendering" is now used to redraw objects. Only objects which aspect as been modified (state, size, position) are now updated saving a lot of unnecessary renderings. I was already using a similar technique but it was costing a lot and was not as effective.
- PREFERENCES, EDITOR: Preferences are now stored in CSS files instead of an IFF ones. FC_Preference is now a subclass of FC_CSSDocument. The whole preference system has been updated and is more compact and nice.
- ASSOCIATED DATA: A new technique called "associated data" is now used to skip decoding over and over the same preference items. To put this short, a window with 1000 buttons was resolving and decoding 1000 times the "$button-frame" item to setup the frame of the SimpleButton objects. Now a "complex data", which is the decoded stuff of the "$button-frame" contents, is associated with the "$button-frame" item. Thus, the preference item is now resolved and decoded once, saving 999 resolving/decoding. This technique is currently used for frames and backgrounds but will soon be extended to fonts, color schemes... The preference system as been widely rewritten for this purpose.
- The "ModulesList" shared object is now used to keep an eye on classes. It handles various lists and is now used to load classes embending a preference group. The launching of the preference editor is now very fast. This shared objects also maintain a list of the decorators available, which is used to create dynamicaly the "Decorators" preference group.
- ALPHA BLENDING: FC_CorePNG has been created to decode PNG files without using datatypes, saving time and embended alpha information, which is fully supported by FC_BitMap. FC_Render also support alpha-blending but is currently limited to rectangles. Thanks to alpha-blending, you can create even nicer applications.
- COLORS AND IMAGES: Colors are now defined as in CSS e.g. "#FF0000" for full red or "shine" for the FV_Pen_Shine entry of a color scheme. All image specifications are now in XML format, many of them have been extended e.g. gradients can be defined using 2, 3 and even 4 colors (aqua style).

individual: News about Keyrah, Buddha, Flickerfixer, Clockport-Adapter and more
MMC64 sold out
The flashcard reader for the C64 by Oliver Achten is selling constantly to fans of the Commodore 64 computer. In the past days, the last units have been shipped to our worldwide trade partners. All dealers now have a small stock, so hopefully there will be no shortage. Even when prices in online auctions for the MMC64 are already rising (one has been sold for more than 70,- EUR!), there's no reason to spend more than the recommended retail price of 49,- EUR*. A new production run has already been started. We hope to continue to deliver to our resellers without any interruption.
MP3@64: C64 plays back MP3 files in CD quality
As an expansion to MMC64, Oliver Achten has finished his second product. Individual Computers is proud to produce this gadget as well: The MP3-module uses a DSP for MP3-decoding and a separate DA-converter with 20 bits resolution for best audio quality. The output comes either through two Cinch connectors, or through a CD-audio connector that's also used by CD-rom or DVD-rom units. Even with output being possible on active speakers, we recommend using good HiFi equipment, so the excellent audio quality can actually be heard. This has already been proven at the scene-party tUM*05: During the party which was co-sponsored by individual Computers, the "streamed music competition" was played back on a C64. The maximum bitrate of 320kbit was used by several entries to that competition, and MP3@64 has played them back with no problems. MP3@64 is available right now, and costs 49,- EUR*.
MMC64: New bios, new plugins
The new version V1.01 of the MMC64 bios is now available on the support page of this website. This update is necessary for running the new plugins: The D64 reader can now read a disk into a D64 image and save it to the MMC/SD card after pressing the R key. The second new plugin is necessary for the MP3 module. Please download the plugin before you buy the module, because MP3@64 comes without a disk!
Indivision flickerfixer available again
To a large order from Software Hut USA, we have made a new production run of Indivision flickerfixers/scandoublers, because our product is the only one that is compatible with the "Video Toaster" genlock interface. Software Hut is selling Indivision under the name "Toastscan" in the US. Many of the components for Indivision are out of production, two of the key components had to be ordered from a chip-broker in the US. The connectors for the monitor port of the Amiga are very scarce, and even the logic chip had to be bought from a recycling-company. During production, the laser mask (an important tool during SMD assembly) turned out to be unusable, so a new one had to be produced. The constant problems and delays have driven the price of Indivision very high: The recommended retail price of 139,- EUR* is currently beaten by many of our resellers, although almost two thirds of the produced units are already sold. Since none of the key components is RoHS-compliant (lead-free), a new production run cannot be done. After the current production run is sold, Indivision will not be produced any more.
New Catweasel driver for Linux
Karsten Scheibler has written a new driver for the Catweasel MK3 and Catweasel MK4 floppy controllers. His Kernel-driver, which runs under Kernel V2.4 and V2.6, moves many lowlevel-functions to user space programs. With this approach, Karsten Scheibler wants to achieve better portability of his source code to other systems. We're supporting him with the necessary hardware. The first version of the new driver can be downloaded from the author's site http://unusedino.de/cw/ .
Buddha for Phoenix-Amiga
Starting march 2006, there will be a special version of the Buddha IDE controller for the Phoenix Amigas. Phoenix is a motherboard that fits into the case of the Amiga 1000. The proprietary front-slot of that board is usually marked with "do not connect anything on this slot" - this slot is what our special version of the Buddha controller will use. Another special version will be available at the same time for the Amiga 500. Both have the same price of 49,90 EUR* and will not be available at our retail partners because of the low quantity available. Please eMail us directly for details about availability and shipment cost.
Clockport-adapter soon back in stock
Starting march of this year, another product for Amiga 1000 and Amiga 500 will be available again: The clockport adapter for the 68000 processor socket. After pre-orders, we have already produced a small amount of these adapters in fall 2004. We have recieved frequent requests for these adapters that offer two clockports for expansions like the Silversurfer, Delfina or the Subway USB card by E3B. The adapters will be available at our retail partners for 29,90 EUR* starting march 2006.
Keyrah: New feature
The USB converter for Commodore keyboards has created lots of positive feedback after the announcement in december 2005. On popular request, we have added support for Amiga 600 keyboards, and will also document how to turn an SX-64 keyboard into a USB keyboard with Keyrah. Of course, we cannot endorse anyone taking perfectly working computers apart for Keyrah. Only use keyboards from defective computers, please!
Individual Computers is creating jobs
We never made a secret of producing single parts in Eastern Europe or even Asia to reduce cost. Unfortunately, PCB production in the Czech Republic
time and again delivered parts that didn't meet our quality requirements. To ensure the quality of our products there was no other possibility than to
completely relocate PCB production back to Germany. Of course we made sure, that our PCBs will continue to have special colors in the future - you will be surprised! Up to now our printed retail boxes were made in China, but we're currently evaluating possibilities to make them in Germany, as our neutral boxes and the colour-printed leaflets are already made in Germany at competitive prices.
Since january of this year, individual Computers has employed two software developers who will contribute to regular software updates for our products. We're also hoping to reduce development times of new products, as fewer jobs have to be outsourced.
*: All prices mentioned include 16% VAT, shipment will be added. Prices at our retail partners, especially outside Germany, may vary. (snx)

MorphBounties: ARexxPPC
The reimplementation of the script language ARexx for MorphOS is another
Self-Bounty project.
In the forum
of the MorphZone Sigbjørn 'CISC' Skjæret gives you an survey over the current development
status. The following functions of the rexxsyslib.library are still missing: Rexx(), rxParse(), rxInstruct(),
EvalOp() and CVs2i().
The aim of the Self-Bounty is 800 US-Dollar, currently there are 200. Each user who gives
a bounty gets the current PPCRexxPatch.

MorphOS: Opinion poll concerning Prefs-system
Christian "Tokai" Rosentreter has started an opinion poll at morphzone.org
where you can express your favourites concerning the pref-system which is used by MorphOS.
Obviously there is a discussion between MorphOS developers how prefs programs should work
in future. Some of them want to keep up the "Amiga feeling" where you have a
configuration program with the buttons "save", "use" and "abort" while others want to have
a completely new and different concept:
The preferences are supposed to be saved automatically if the user quits the program
and the button "use" will be deleted. But a button "restore" will be contained which restores the
preferences the user used at last
(examples: SDL- and Ambient-Prefs,
Current Ambient-Build).
