It wasn’t too long ago that AMD dropped a boat load of cash and stock to purchase ATI in one of the largest mergers in recent times. The $5.4 billion dollar investment, fortunately for AMD, has been paying dividends for the company who recently fell on hard times.

In the years post acquisition, many criticized AMD for blowing a lot of money on ATI and having little to show for it. Even I felt that for $5.4 billion AMD could’ve put together its own competent graphics and chipset teams.

Despite the protest and sideline evaluations, good has come from the acquisition. The most noticeable is the fact that AMD’s chipset business is the strongest it has ever been. AMD branded chipsets and integrated graphics are actually very good. And later this year, AMD will ship its first Fusion APUs (single die CPU/GPU): Ontario using Bobcat cores and an AMD GPU. Ontario will be the first tangible example of direct AMD/ATI collaboration since the acquisition.

Just as we’re about to see results from the acquisition AMD is announcing that it will retire the ATI brand later this year. Save those boxes guys, soon you won’t see an ATI logo on any product sold in the market.

The motivation behind the decision to retire the ATI brand comes from AMD’s own internal research. If AMD’s internal research is to be believed, AMD vs. NVIDIA is better from a marketing standpoint than ATI vs. NVIDIA. Honestly, AMD’s research seems believable. AMD has always seemed like a stronger brand to me than ATI. There’s little room for ego in business (despite it being flexed all too often) and AMD wouldn’t hurt its marketing simply to satisfy any AMD executives – the research makes sense.

The brand switch also reflects some internal changes at AMD. Many important ATI employees have been relocated to AMD’s base of operations in Austin, Texas in order to help with Liano, Ontario, and AMD’s future Fusion products. So the line between AMD and ATI has been further blurring for some time.

Retiring the ATI brand comes at an interesting time in the microprocessor market. Graphics is becoming much more important, but to date we have very few examples outside of 3D games as good consumer applications for powerful GPUs. AMD views this as the perfect time to consolidate its brands before the CPU/GPU line gets more blurry.

ESET doesn’t make definitions available from the web. Only licensed Business Editions of ESET products allow the user to create copies of update files which can be used to update other workstations located in the network. This installer was created using the current copy of update files located within a local folder (‘mirror’). The update files are original and unmodified ones, obtained directly from ESET update servers. The installer only expands the update files into the folder specified by the user (default is C:\Update) and does not modify user’s Windows registry by any means.

The installer can be used to update any version of ESET NOD32 / Smart Security v3.0, v4.0 on machines running Windows XP/2000/Vista/7 (32bit and 64bit).
When installation has completed, the update source – referred to by ESET as ‘update server’ – should be properly set within the ESET configuration panel prior to updating the software (please refer to ESET Help file). The product can then be updated offline from ESET tray icon (right-click –> Update).

The definitions can be used to update a product locally, or – more likely – ported to another computer that needs updating and is not connected to the internet.

Note : Username and/or password are not required on the target computer to update the product.

A tutorial on how to use the Updater and how to configure ESET software is available here.

Earth Alerts is a Windows-based application that allows you to monitor in near real-time a variety of natural hazard events that are occurring anywhere around the world. Alert notifications, reports, and imagery provide the user with a convenient way to view natural phenomenon as they occur, whether close to home or some far-flung corner of the globe!

Earth Alerts uses a variety of online resources provided by organizations such as the National Weather Service, U.S. Geological Survey and Smithsonian Institution (just to name a few), to identify what sort of activities “Mother Earth” is currently dishing out on the planet.

To use Earth Alerts, you simply select the specific natural hazards — earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, tropical cyclones, wildland fires, landslides, severe weather, local weather, etc. — and the locations that interest you. The application will then automatically retrieve the latest information from various live data feeds available on the Internet and present it to you in a convenient arrangement of reports, maps and images.

Earth Alerts has been available to the general public since 2005. In that time it has undergone a number of significant enhancements. As a hobby, a one man production and a labor of love, conceiving the ideas and creating Earth Alerts has been a (time consuming) pet project over the past few years!
