Mac: Microsoft Office 2011 will not be 64-bit

If Mac OS X supports 64-bit applications since Leopard (and even more since Snow Leopard), we can not say that the major publishers are scrambling to offer 64-bit versions of their software on a Mac. Adobe has finally released a 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5, but on the side of Microsoft, it will still go without for Office 2011. This is what one learns in a blog post of Mac Office developers where the author reports on the transition from Office to the Cocoa framework.

Historically, Mac OS X allows you to develop possible applicability in two frameworks: Cocoa and Carbon. This facilitated the transition from Mac OS Classic and Mac OS X, but is ultimately incompatible 64-bit. That's why Photoshop CS4, always in Carbon at the time, had not benefited from 64-bit version unlike the Windows version. Also in Carbon originally Board enters the Cocoa framework with version 2011, but Microsoft says that time constraints have forced the publisher to push the development of a 64-bit: "Because of our work to improved compatibility, we could not complete the transition of the entire user interface to Cocoa. And like Apple's frameworks need to wear a full Cocoa application in order to post a 64-bit, Office 2011 will be available only in 32 bits. "

And remember that the Microsoft 64-bit, despite its advantages in terms of memory management, poses problems of compatibility, even in Office 2010 for Windows. You may recall that Microsoft had already dragged their feet to bring Office Mac Intel version, but this will remember that we also still waiting for 64-bit versions of iTunes, iLife and iWork ...

Acer Aspire One 753 netbook or laptop or ultrafine

Acer is preparing to launch a new family member Aspire One, which should soon be completed with a computer halfway between netbook and laptop ultrafine.

The Acer Aspire One 753 actually revolves around a WXGA display with LED backlight 11.6 inches. It is a little larger than 10 inches of a netbook but smaller than the 13.3 inches normally encountered on ultrathin laptops. The computer thus marks only 1.4 kg on the scale or the weight of some netbooks.

Technically, however, it houses an Intel platform at low voltage, but not the second generation of Atom mini-laptops. Therefore, there is a recent Arrandale processor family, with a Celeron certainly U3400 clocked at only 1.06 GHz (1.66 GHz cons for Atom N450 of the vast majority of netbooks) but mostly with 2 MB cache (which is four times the 512 KB of Atom). It is associated with a graphics chip Intel GMA providing hardware decoding of high definition and supported by up to 4 GB of RAM. A hard disk up to 640GB, Wi-Fi N, HDMI output and a battery providing a range of 6 hours (less than a netbook recently), to mention only some of the other technical characteristics, supplement this equipment.

The Acer Aspire One 753 is expected soon in Europe for a still undisclosed price.
