Intel meanwhile [still] has a hard time convincing Steve Jobs he should be basing Macintosh computers on Intel chips, and on a different note Britney Spears is still not sure how to shake off Masahiko Shizawa, the wealthy Japanese coder who has a hard time of not stalking her. Masahiko sued her for hurting his feelings over a "cultural misunderstanding". (He drives her) Crazy!
In case this news was all too don't-worry-be-happy and do you rather feel more connected to the less fortunate on this planet, for only 50 bucks you can torture yourself with WiFi-SM, a device available from Unbehagen.com (that's German for discomfort). This device search over 4,500 news sources for specific keywords (death, distruction, torture, war, ...). If it finds an article matching the keywords, it generates a calibrated electric impulse, which does not endanger one's health. To read some suggestive uses of possible newer types of WiFi, go here!

Frans van Nispen, the original developer of SampleStudio, has already said to be willing to provide help and insight into the code where needed, LeBuzz tells us. Frans also mentioned three main areas to Dane that need of work badly:
- Virtual Memory - A known issue on the BeOS platform is the Virtual Memory, which also causes a barrier for SampleStudio. Buffering should be enhanced to solve among others the ticks that the latest version shows.
- Paste code bug - For some reason, SampleStudio sometimes adds info when pasting that isn't there. Artificial Intelligence can't be the cause.
- Mixing paste - This is the feature that SampleStudio still lacks most, and it should really be implemented.

Newly added are the review by Fran?ois Revol and the pictures by Marcus Overhagen. I did not manage staying out of the images this time, he caught me on 3 of them (one full-frontal which I actually kinda like, but my hair could have been better on that one).

Apart from announcements here and there that Dutch BeOS users are trying to get DuBeUS (Dutch BeOS User Group) up and running again, now it's time for Sweden to recover BUGS (BeOS User Group Sweden).
Fanskapet, a Swedish BeOS user, posted a message about it here. If you're from Sweden and also want BUGS back in business, drop him a line at fanskapet at php-coders dot net.
