AMD Releases Open Source Fusion Driver 126
An anonymous reader writes "Yesterday AMD released open source Linux driver support for their Fusion APUs, primarily for the first Ontario processor. As detailed on Phoronix, this includes support for kernel mode-setting, 2D acceleration, and 3D acceleration via both Mesa and Gallium3D graphics drivers."

But now there is support for Windows, OSX and Linux. If your OS isn't on that list then they aren't providing you with anything, or even the ability to do it yourself without doing some real funky stuff with wrappers.

It's rare to read someone post something both factually and subjectively wrong at the same time in so few words. Congratulations.

I'm not sure about Android portable media players, but there are tablets that could be regarded as equivilent in intended use to an iPad.

Funny. Last time I bought a PC, the cheapest Apple option for my needs was the most expensive iMac. It would have cost twice what I paid, and performed worse. Apple simply isn't competitive in the midrange.

Just looked at their prices too, they've gotten worse.
And the crappy displays on the iMacs (maybe this has improved) kill them for serious use, leaving the cheapest desktop at $2500, and it's only one CPU.
But trying to match their 5k computer at Dell runs 6k.
