First Pictures and Specs of The New Commodore Gaming PC's
After years of concern, as the spectre of playing year go by, Commodore expects to return to the market with its line of luxury custom gaming PCs, going head to head against such Alienware, Falcon Northwest and Voodoo PC. Kellman Bala, director of Commodore Gaming, commented, "all new Commodore range of PC players will all at the highest levels of the PC game can offer ... We wanted to bring something new to the market, in line with our Commodore heritage, and have worked hard to develop a totally unique product." Indeed, each computer a unique color and configured to the customer. Styles vary from buyer own images of the photographs, graffiti, or game art (as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, photo here). Commodore gaming PCs come in two years warrant for parts and services. Models with the entry-level to high, which Commodore Congress, Cgs, Cgx and Cxx. Initial hardware specifications for the "extreme level" Cxx are : Intel Extreme CoreT2 four processors, Asus P5N32-A suddenly 680i SLI motherboard, two 150 GB 10,000 RPM SATA drives in RAID 0, with spare 500GB 7200 RPM SATA drive, 4GB (2 x 2048) Dominator memory Corsair 1066 MHz, 2 Spring 8800 GTX videocards, Creatve Labs X-Fi and Windows Vista Ultimate installed.

Amazing comparison of a 32-core Sun running Ubuntu versus 4-core AMD
Ever since they first announced Niagara processors on the Sun, I am excited. Niagara may change my business? Who would not want tons of physical cores combined with tons of virtual model? Each technology conference, I tried to obtain data on the number of people Sun booths. The MySQL user conference they hyping up MySQL, for example - there is a huge mistake MySQL, which processors with more humiliating, so obviously not a big target for us (yet). However, the geek in me, I still wonder, for many years believed that the expansion of # processors, and not just the speed of the CPU, it was the future. One of the main parts of my job is that I can play with new toys and new technologies such as Amazon S3 and Niagara that our business can improve or modify it so. And each is focused on computer wants to dream that some "hot new CPU on the horizon that will solve all their problems, right? Sun has big day Try and Buy program. They do this mostly painless as clicking on the server want, and a few days later his arrival. Very cool. Unfortunately, I have not used the device Sun since 1994, when I was with SunOS 4 (SunOS remember when you were on BSD?) so it is probably time to try out the new equipment and new software. No thanks, I am busy guy. Enter Jonathan Schwartz and his famous blog. Jonathan may not remember, but when I was 12 years old, I would have room for NeXT every second I understood and crashed NeXTWorld annually. I remember it. It was the most important NeXT developer, and my father was a thankless task buffering Steve Jobs and Jonathan. Both are needed other, but they could not each other. Fun Fun. I sense in contact with Jonathan and see how he is doing on his new job, and see if smaller Internet companies like ours, can shed light on the direction of the Sun. I think it is very tough to try it, he in turn massive company with great momentum around compete in the new year. For more than a decade, computer information has been shifting more and more rapidly in the direction of free operating systems, along with commodity equipment, Sun and almost missed the boat. Now they are scrambling to catch up. I think Jonthan "received, but we have to see if he has the time and energy to actually do it. On June 16th, Jonathan posted a blog post, where he announced that Linux runs on Ubuntu Niagara, and that everyone who writes a detailed review are kept under question. Fantastic idea, I can run Linux, which I know like the back of my hand, play in some of the hot new technology, and I can keep the equipment for its time. Sold! So here we are, 60 days later, with careful consideration. UPDATE : Jonathan is a new blog entry this morning near Niagara conserve energy. Pretty cool that you can get a discount for using less power servers, but this does not materially affect the conclusions of the review. UPDATE # 2 : comment on digg very clear-you want to see the results of Solaris. Me too. That open call for assistance from the Sun. GOAL SmugMug many different tasks at beginning of image manipulation (heavy CPU and math), DB operations (chain and heavy RAM) serving on the dynamic pages (many quick and easy CPU requests). Obviously mature fruit something like Niagara, which is much slower kernel will serve light dynamic content. Specifically, we do most of the picture. We can download Apache processes so each piece is a nice load. As you can imagine, Our "All picture" interface greatly optimized for fast it basically just checks to make sure that allowing a photo copy it from our storage infrastructure is (or Amazon S3, depending) and push it down the network pipes. We serve millions and millions of their day. I often wondered if many small boxes with slower processors can be more effective at the service, as a relatively small number of really fast processors we do now. Niagara provides an excellent opportunity to find out. Our aim is quite simple, and any new hardware we checked. Now is the right time to test this thing, we need to buy a bunch of additional servers. We always want that the low cost of processing units per watt. $ / CPU / Vt. Here it is simple. Not to Niagara? SERVERS In the far corner, in red shorts, is the advocate for the protection of basic cluster SmugMug-member Olde Faithful : Rackable C1000. Weight 1U half-depth, two nuclei with two Opteron 270HE processors 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM, or drive, and Gigabit Ethernet. Her contract svelte $ 3,595 for officers. Olde loyalty, and its precursor, we must work to SmugMug years. In the near corner, wearing the blue shorts, is the upstart contender for the Sun CoolThreads : Sun Fire T1000, with a single eight core Niagara processor 1.0GHz with 4 virtual coverage on the basic physical, 4GB RAM, by SATA HDD or four Gigabit Ethernet. Her contract enormous $ 8395 *. CoolThreads is in keeping with its sleek 1U, depth 2/3rds metal, but it can deliver the goods? Note we actually are testing T1000 with 16GB of RAM, as Sun has sent us, but in this particular case, use, we are not only going to use a maximum of 1.5GB, so we buy the 4GB model. Price shows $ 8,395 for the version with 4GB drive by, which we do not need. Could probably save $ 100, if we could talk in the Sun dropping drive. HYPOTHESIS I am not a great believer in raw clock speed processors, especially after viewing our decision Happy clobber our 3GHz Xeons not Woodcrest,, but in this case I have to know the Sun benefit of the doubt and guess that they probably clock speed, "quality", as AMD. CoolThreads "cores x 8 = 1.0GHz 8GHz. Olde Believers in 4 samples x = 2.0GHz 8GHz. My hypothesis is how we will provide some similar features, when $ / CPU part of the equation. I think link load (that we care about most), but when not loaded, Olde Faithful will be photos faster. Based on the Sun literature and the fact that Sun also sells Opteron boxes (for less money), but continued to sell and promote the Niagara boxes, too, I think that there is probably something there with CPU / W part of the equation. I think CoolThreads benefit CPU / W compared, but it will not save nearly enough dollars to cover the basic cost of 2.3X. Remember, we care about the formula is $ / CPU / Vt. Power efficiency is not enough. If CoolThreads not win the $ / CPU / W Games, Sun can expect a lot of future orders with us.

How to put together a computer
Here, in the laboratory, we check for compatibility, performance and stability (although not necessarily in that order). Today, however, we took the time to completely punishment PC devices from different manufacturers to severe torture known as voltage and frequency to convey a step-by-step instructions on how to create a powerful system of the house. This is not "modern" in liquid nitrogen and batteries, which require eye protection and a good knowledge of spot welding and theoretical chemistry building.

BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB Evaluation
It was only three months after the firm began NVIDIA next generation processor, GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS support DirectX 10. Three months here and NVIDIA debut in the third position for a new price itself. We have yet to hear or see that the AMD / ATI could offer in the next generation; All waited, with bated breath for this. If we wait, NVIDIA is basking in the bright light from the only end-user, which support the latest DirectX 10 technologies. Unfortunately, there are no DirectX 10 games to use this technology more. Indeed, it may be several months before we can take advantage of that DirectX 10 is promising to deliver. While we can not test DirectX 10 performance or image quality in the game now, we can still use that GeForce 8 series processors will have to make in today's game. GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS simply offer the best game experience you can get on planet Earth is in the current DirectX 9 games. While we wait for NVIDIA ForceWare drivers for Windows Vista mature (boy, and they need), we can forward and current game of the current game in Windows XP. Currently, Windows Vista provides no tangible benefits for the players to raise at this time. Of course, the only way you are going to use DirectX 10 will be moving to Windows Vista, but there is no DirectX 10 games, so the argument is moot. With this in mind, we will evaluate this generation of video cards with good tried and true Windows XP. GeForce 8800 320MB GST Continuing one of its advantages is really difficult start NVIDIA GeForce 8800 320MB TCU. NVIDIA has been on the roll of these launches is difficult, and we hope they will continue. It is good to see the commitment of new video cards; We do not like to evaluate video card that you can buy, frankly, what benefit is that? GeForce 8800 320MB TCU remain the same as a PE 640MB GeForce 8800 GTS. As the name implies, the only difference is that memory has been reduced twice from 640MB to 320MB. DPP itself exactly 100% the same. Summarizing the specification means that it is built on 90nm production process, the flow is 96 processors working at 1.2 GHz and ROPs works at 500 MHz GDDR3 memory operating at 1.6 GHz. Although memory is cut in half-sized bit memory width of 320 bits, as the GeForce 8800 640MB TCU. GST GeForce 8800 320MB video cards are dual slot, use the same cooling unit and exactly the same length, width and height as the GeForce 8800 640MB TCU. Power match, Pozharobezopasnost. - Komfortnost requiring a large power or 12V current rating of 26A or higher. Indeed, the only difference is the memory size. This is very interesting in two main ways; Number one specification of the same means that they must have exactly the same performance in the game. Memory size, the difference will mean that some higher resolutions, you can see the work and you can waive certain antialiasing settings. Raw repeatedly performance, primary ROP work, raw materials, but the memory bandwidth will be exactly the same. A second reason is because of fascinating that reducing the size of memory NVIDIA can bring the price to $ 299-$ 329! (Depending on the brand you buy and where you buy.) GeForce 8800 640MB GST debuted at $ 449; more expensive. Given that the card will certainly sell less MSRP of us if we, it is clear that very substantial amount of the average purchase with a high level of 3D games.

AMD's Direction and Next-Gen Bulldozer CPU Revealed
AMD already discussed more analysts and enthusiasts than ever. Intel had a very impressive with 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad core processors for several months and AMD almost no answer. Today AMD "Technology Analyst Day, and we will be hearing of the technical staff at AMD, Phil Hester with the" CPU "and Bob Drebin in" GP ". Of course, we know that AMD has been beating "Fusion" product roll out over many months an entry into a new market, which represents some significant changes in how the CPU and GPU sold in the channel, not to mention changes in the technology itself. Today, we learn, "Bulldozer" and "Bobcat" cores, and "M-SPACE" among others. First of all, AMD wants us all to realize that they are far from easy "CPU" more. ATI acquisitions in many markets, AMD believes that it will encourage x86 computers in the very near future. Article Article Image Image Image Article Article Article Image Image These slide above explain what AMD did not speak months. AMD sees great potential in emerging markets in terms of more powerful and versatile processor in these markets. Understand that AMD sees power in the computing and graphics processor phones and a set of multimedia content just to name a few, and AMD believes that the acquisition of ATI will accelerate its move into these new markets x86. Path M-SPACE Article Article Image Image Before we see AMD move to actually produce sprayed with GP and CPU transistors are on the same die, and in fact share the logic, we find AMD moved their M-SPACE design. Remember, as AMD with its technology and portioning them into building blocks that can be custom designed for specific applications. This will be mainly for mobile and set top box markets, as it is now is a way to the scales and practices to adapt technology to these segments. With M-SPACE development companies can come to AMD and the processor and graphics engine combination built for the specific needs of the device. Thus, the customers get what they need, rather than "general" CPU and GPU combination, which exists in the market. The General Schedule Article Article Image Image This is a slide that enthusiasts can find the time to laugh, but obviously AMD expects last R600/2000 series processors, which are currently on the market. In the photo above, to once again look to mobile devices. Strengthening high level DX9 and DX10 graphics quality in the mobile segment of a major deal, and one thing that ATI has a huge amount of AMD mobile business. While many enthusiasts of nothing but playing cards, ATI has a long tradition of fanning the handset market and doing a very good job with it. AMD merger GP, display ports, and all the PCIe bus on silicon offers many image possibilities that we have not seen in the past with mobile devices, especially portable category. Moreover, while HD Radeon 2000 series heard from the players, there is no doubt that AMD Single Video Decoder is set in this area. New samplers design Article Image With M-SPACE is a new set of CPU cores, well into modular design functionality. AMD sees these new models are used with very high to very low-end application needs. The name "Dozer" and "Bobcat" could mean, you can figure out where the two models fit into the scheme of things. BULLDOZER Article Image While AMD did not release the little details that the processor under the hood around, from what we have seen it almost entirely new approach to handling while maintaining a focus on not removing from legacy applications that exist in the market. We see Dozer enterprise servers, as well as on our own machines. Claims that the majority should be directed to that, "Scaling for a continuation of the flow" and "Divided future scalability and modularity." This told me that the bulldozer can be transformed, depending on the application whether the specific needs of the many threads or yarns, and one needs to use all its resources. Currently, with two or four processors, where we have the resources, a thirst for threaded applications, which are usually the case, our core (s) to do nothing. Dozer seems to be able to combine its core work together on a single threaded application. As for the "shared" the statement, I have to read that in the centre Dozer is something akin to AMD M-SPACE design methodology that it would be possible for AMD to build Dozer samples for specific hardware. I think he deserves that Dozer is a radical departure from current AMD core samples even Barcelona, which did not hit the market. Dozer will be the first "break", we know from the core AMD K8. Dozer easily the most promising architecture, which we saw with the AMD Opteron since its launch in April 2003. Bulldozers be put into "Sandtiger" server arena and working in mid - to-late 2009 with DDR3 memory. Article Article Image Image When you see references to 8 or 16 Dozer Serdechniki and think nothing new to remember that we have not seen that in those samples, or as a principal could be reduced or modules. BOBCAT Article Image Bobcat to slide here even more difficult than the one above, but it is clear that AMD M-SPACE methodology means attacking mobile space and set top box market over the table, but we are likely to see more products in the table, using Bobcat in the future. With M-SPACE philosophy and Bobcat AMD to build concrete Fusion platform to meet the needs of its customers. FALCON FUSION Sokol will be the first step in the direction of product sprayed from AMD. Article Image With so much attention Fusion Technology in the past year, Sokol Fusion part of this family certainly covers the first step indeed, we see in that direction. While we look at the Falcons as they come in certain modules, the technology of living on a piece of silicon. The Fusion is moving forward, we will see the CPU and GPU sharing transistors, and indeed becomes a "minor" together in a real sense, or at least that is what Phil Hester outlined his vision for HardOCP. Concluding slides Article Article Image Image Image article article article Image Image Image article article article Image Image Image Article Article Article Image Image Image Article Conclusions Obviously great story today - Dozer. This does not take away Bobcat and Fusion technology, but they will not make brute force technology, AMD will need to compete with Intel. And while Dozer is a "brute force" product it is going to bring with them svelte capabilities, which make it a suitable solution for many applications. While some expect only multi-core processors and multithreaded applications, we must realize that real change to a multi-threaded infrastructure further than publicly available bit of when AMD was the first to address the core processing checks and we are far from this path is clearly entering the market. As we noted above, Bulldozers represents a radical departure from K8 technology, which is the basis for the forthcoming Barcelona AMD cores. And K8 Opteron and Athlon families served us well, which is looking for recently little brighter for AMD Barcelona. But no mistake about it : AMD is going to expect low power consumption Barcelona model that deliver excellent performance per watt stop the bleeding in terms of technology, management and profits based on the Intel Q209. Barcelona scale high-GHz, it should be competitive, but do not think the number by 2008. AMD needs to break with the K8 to drive forward and represent himself Bulldozer platform that works. We will see if Barcelona servers and workstations parts along with the upcoming board of Fen enough to keep AMD afloat until the arrival Bulldozer operator and the speaker hoped before that.

Five Microsoft "digital lifestyle" flops (and why they failed)
When talking about the company, not much more than Microsoft; They are 75,000 employees in more than 100 countries and more than 50 billion dollars of annual revenue. Although Microsoft in product focus, of course, the software they compete in a number of other markets, such as game consoles, consumer equipment like mice and keyboards, and media and content such as MSNBC. Less visible is the result of experimentation, which goes to Microsoft. You often hear of Google employees manipulated by the ideas and projects (thanks to the company "20%" of time), but the fact that Microsoft employees creative bunch. You probably have heard of successful experiments. Not just "big bets", as Gates likes to call them, or interested in what is happening in Microsoft research, but projects which almost never made it to market, J. Allara like with Xbox. But what about flops? In our studies in Microsoft Internet TV Initiative proved, the company will certainly not be afraid to experiment, good with the bad. And Microsoft has its share of bad. Now consider some of the more interesting companies "digital lifestyle" flops. Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT) Smart Personal Objects TechnologySold guise of MSN Direct, SPOT is Microsoft, in an effort to create a more intelligent everyday devices, such as watches, likely to show the current weather, in addition to time. Technology, which device called Microsoft DirectBand, wide area wireless network that uses unused FM radio spectrum to communicate with devices. Services provided by more than 100 cities in the United States and Canada, and a number of electronics manufacturers created and sold compatible devices. Why flop Although still in the market, SPOT was launched in 2002, and virtually unchanged in the five years since. In addition to hours now coffee, and GPS receivers that support direct MSN but it is about him. How many people do you know that own SPOT device? I do not know any. One cause of peace SPOT quite interesting. NET Micro Framework that Microsoft released earlier this year, and developers will find chances much more innovative ways to use the technology Microsoft has. In addition, worth noting that SPOT to make small users, wherever they may have been achieved largely through services such as Twitter. In support of SMS and some weather, news and financial agents Why fork over the money SPOT device? Automotive Microsoft Microsoft AutomotiveMicrosoft attempts to create software and other technology solutions for the car, almost legendary, never heard a joke about a car running Microsoft software and disruptions that require complex reboot? As SPOT However, Microsoft is still plugging idea with three products currently available : Windows Automotive, Auto Microsoft, and Windows Mobile for Automotive. The success of these products to discuss news, the relatively meagre, but Windows Automotive page proudly mentions Ford Sync, car begin this fall. Why flop, I have not come Microsoft size of the vehicle, and you think, I do not either. - The chances that did not change any time soon. Almost 10 years to make the announcement, but ultimately very little chance of material objects, Microsoft to make road projects flop disappointing. Network Equipment Microsoft Microsoft RouterMicrosoft network has been very successful in overseas markets, with mice, keyboards, and webcams all sales relatively well. Their steps in the network equipment in 2002 was a major setback, however. Called wireless base stations, MN-500 and MN-700 was taken in an easy-to-use broadband routers. Equipment includes a built-in firewall, NAT support, WEP security, software, which will automatically detect the Internet. Microsoft has also produced a number of wireless network adapters. Why It flopped at very competitive market network gear, and apparently, Microsoft simply not been enough to stick to it. Faced with poor sales, Microsoft stopped network equipment only after two years. But they did not stop there - all Web pages related to microsoft.com gone too. Only continued support information. It's almost as Microsoft wants to set aside their routers. Fortunately, the Internet does not forget. ActiMates ActiMatesStrangely enough, Microsoft does not edit toys. In autumn 1997, the company announced ActiMates Interactive Barney, "innovative early learning for young children. The idea behind the toys was actually really cool-the plush Barney toy would "come to life" when a special broadcast popular children's show came on TV. Microsoft released seven different characters, including Barney, Arthur, and four Teletubbies. Why flopped Price, probably the main factor that led to the deaths of ActiMates toys. With the starting price of $ 99, they are not cheap. In combination with certain "creepiness factor, it is not difficult to understand why the toys did not catch on. Digital Home Digital HomeYou Microsoft could argue that Microsoft has entertainment aspect of the digital home "covers quite well with their products. TV, movies, music, photos, and easily stored and transmitted in digital form, and products such as Xbox 360 make it easy to work with all types of media. But Microsoft for many years promise much more than just entertainment. Just look at the annual report to Bill Gates CES. Sometimes he used the event to launch new products, but often a keynote speech on prospects for the future. Kitchen countertops that help with prescriptions bedroom reflects that the double-screen televisions, digital frames, biometric door locks, and intellectual issues which recognize people when they come to adjust the preferred lighting and temperature conditions. Truly terrible idea that could have a big impact. Why flopped Too bad ideas that have never been implemented. Microsoft Russia prototype indeed exist in the company, Redmond campus, but technology has not yet been incorporated into commercially. The company offers Best home almost every year, but it does not appear to move closer to commercialization. It is a sad, but Microsoft digital home idea is nothing more than "vaporware." What they will be next year? Microsoft is larger and more successful than ever, so do not be surprised if their product experimentation becomes more diverse and in the future. There will certainly be more flops, but they will hit some of the park too. And do not forget their products announced that it has not yet begun to surface-Microsoft, Windows Server Russia, Folders and Windows Live, and so on. Will they be successful, or big disappointments? Time will tell!

BREAKING: Perjury Probe of Gonzales Being Considered
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats called for a perjury investigation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Thursday, the office of top presidential aide Karl Rove to deepen political and legal confrontation with the Bush administration. `` Obviously, the Attorney General has provided a minimum of half-truths and misleading statements, Democrats on the four''Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to Solicitor General Paul Clement. They sent a letter shortly before the Sena. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Announced on the agenda of Rove, the top political strategist president, in remarks on the Senate floor. The White House said the executive honour block Congress with the documents or testimony current and former President assistants. `` Now we have reached the point where the accumulated evidence suggests that political considerations into account the unprecedented dismissal of at least nine United States Attorney last year, "said Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In response, the White House spokesman Tony Fratto said, `` Every day congressional Democrats to prove that they are more interested in headlines than the business the Americans want them to do. And Americans now say that the Congress, the Democratic leadership unable to resolve important issues,''he said. Gonzalez is in the heart of the United States attorney contradictions, but word of perjury probe alleged involvement of conflict between the testimony he gave a press conference in two appearances, one last year and one this week. The issue is that the dissent of President unauthorized wiretapping program. Regarding the dismissal of prosecutors, e-mail released by Justice Gonzales show "Friends talked with Rove on the matter. Leahy said that the issuance of subpoenas for J. Scott Jennings, a White House political aide. Its performance and Rove was set on August 2. `` For more than four months, I have exhausted all possibilities to find voluntary cooperation Karl Rove and J. Scott Jennings, but to no avail,''said Vermont lawmaker. `` They and the White House have a position of each request. Indeed, the White House prefers to withhold documents and instructions witnesses former officials to refuse to answer questions and provide relevant information and documents.'' Call for perjury investigation was another complication for Gonzalez, whose suitability for the work has been openly criticized by Republicans as well as Democrats. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa. , senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, , told reporters aboard Air Force One day that `` on''mozhet bring the matter before the President, who firmly his old friend. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Students preferred. , Stated reporters, `` I am confident did not know,''based on interviews with Democrats at the press conference. In a separate letter Thursday to Gonzales, Leahy said he would give the court eight days, correct, clarify or modify his testimony `` so that under oath, they whole truth.'' In his letter to Clement, the four senators wrote, Gonzales testified that that last year there was internal dissent over the president unauthorized listening contradict testimony by former Deputy Attorney General James Comey and Gonzalez own statements this week by the Judiciary Committee. They also said Gonzales had falsely told the panel that, that he had not spoken to dismiss other Justice officials. His former White House communications, Monica Goodling, told a press conference in granting immunity that it `` neudobno''razgovore with Gonzalez in which he outlined his memory of what happened, and asked her, for her reaction. `` The court should be held to high ethical standards,''the senators wrote. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, One of the four lawmakers to sign the letter was sharply criticized Gonzalez. `` There is no words "to the maximum.'' Sumer said. `` This is untrue. This is a fallacy. Those lying.'' Clement will decide whether to appoint a special prosecutor because Gonzalez and outgoing Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty have rid themselves of the investigation, in which they are engaged. Justice Department's No. 3 official, Assistant Attorney General William Mercer, serves as a serving and therefore not entitled to it. Asked what was discussed at the March 10, 2004 briefing Congress. Letter from the then Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte said a briefing on the administration of the terrorist surveillance program eve of the deadline. But Gonzalez, for Tuesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings have shown that the matter was not on the terrorist surveillance program, which allowed the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on suspects in the United States without prior court approval. Instead, Gonzalez said, an emergency meeting of 10 March 2004, focused on the intelligence of that description. He said the meeting had led him to go to bed sick then Attorney General John Ashcroft to recertify The observation, but he denied Ashcroft pressure to do so. Ashcroft, recovering from gallbladder surgery, declined. White House spokesman Tony Snow on Thursday defended Gonzales, but did not speak about the topic in 2004 briefing. `` Unfortunately, we are in the areas that you can not discuss,''said Snow. `` It is a very complex issue. But the Attorney General is continuing. The President supports it. I think at some point it will be something which will have to go behind closed doors and to discuss these issues. But I can not go further than that.''
