GeForce Release 178.24 WHQL
New in Version 178.24:
A new version of Google’s Chrome browser as the release notes indicate in all caps, the update is intended for the “Dev channel ONLY.” You can check out more here
The new update puts a heavy focus on plugins, not the least of which includes addressing an issue where using Flash plugins could lock up the Chrome browser and shoot CPU usage up to 100 percent. The new version also fixes plugins not playing when embedded in a third-party frame on a page, and improves support for pages with multiple plugins playing video.
Several other changes have been made, such as adding a command line switch to start the browser in incognito mode, fixing a problem with videos stopping after 1 second, adding better support for Windows Media player, and a whole bunch more.
An increasing number of large Dutch companies are suffering from the economic fall out from the credit crisis. Yesterday alone, four companies reported profit declines or production cuts as a result of the worsening economy, the Financieele Dagblad reports.
TNT, the post and parcel delivery company, said it would cut costs at its air freight division because of pressures on profits and turnover. Supermarket wholesaler Sligro said it expected profits to be lower than originally expected this year. Meanwhile both steel producer Corus and truck maker DAF Trucks said they would be cutting production due to declining demand.
Over past few days, electronics giant Philips, coatings group Akzo Nobel, chip machine maker ASML and printer and copier concern Océ have all said they were facing problems as a result of the economic downturn sparked by the financial crisis.
