... that OQO thingie looks a lot like a lage-screen iPod.

They also have similar specs; except the CPU... and Kodak is rumored to be shipping small OLED displays to Apple... Maybe that's why it's still vaporware. Coud a Crusoe execute PPC instructions with proper code morphing software?
(Yes, it's just a stupid idea. No, I have nothing to back it up with. :)

Direct Link

Here ya go..
Damn lazy cowards..

For those of you like me that are on linux and want to see this, here are some tips:

1) The latest version of mplayer does play all QT, including this one. The needed codecs are here along with a short how to.

2) The standard view-source and play whatever it lists doesn't work. All trailer's on apples website are now redirects. Add an "m" before the size for the real movie (t3_tlr_480.mov becomes t3_tlr_m480.mov).

3) mplayer http://... usually doesn't work (sits there at 0% cache). Just wget it.

4) Here's a direct link to the large trailer.

5) While I'm at it, here's a link to the large X2 (X-Men 2) trailer.

So now that they see canals on the Sun, do they think theres water there too?

A quick searc for Active Directory on the Apple website turns up these results:

this

this and the PDF linked to on that page can be found here

There ae also links on Apple's site to third pary sites which deal specificaly with Mac - PC network integration.

You know, slashdot really isn't as good of a search engine as Google.

1) Go to google.com
2) search for "active directory mac os x"
3) click the third result.
4) prof- nah.

Or you can click this link:
Integrating Mac OS X with Active Directory

You misread that part. Those instructions were to make your own pattern based on a picture. They simply used Tux as their example to show how to do it. The Tux pattern is available in the article here.

Hmm. The tux pumpkin is a helpful tutorial, basically it says to make a pumpkin with tux on it all you need is:

1.A Pumpkin
2.Artistic Ability
3.Expensive Software
4.Something called a light board (sounds arty)

Wow! Simple!

This pdf-file.

I want you to take a HARD LOOK at these pictures . Is this the peace you had in mind? No? Too bad! That's the peace you're going to get if you don't support people who will pick up guns to defend freedom.

This "peace" process of negotiation and diplomacy is killing us! How many more thousands have to be killed before you will be willing to fight for what you believe in? You can't make peace with tyrants.

I hope you don't mind being made a Muslim at gunpoint. You want this for our country? Or this? A lifestyle not defended by force is an endangered lifestyle. And for good reason: A lifestyle that's not worth defending by force is not a lifestyle worth living.

I'm not going to play your moral equivalency games. These are the facts: Some people are good. Some people are evil. Please get a clue and find out who's whom in this war.

One less US soldier is one step closer to [Rest In] Peace. This is what happens to be people who don't fight hard enough. Peaceful, isn't it?

Pacifism invites and encourages the "peace" of gas chambers and guillotines, deceit and dirty bombs, broken promises and body bags, terror and tombstones, all brought on by the enemy. War, on the other hand, eliminates the broods of evildoers so that peace can ensue.

You cannot reason with irrational, deceitful dictators. Talking with a cheating enemy (and what enemy isn't?) just allows it to thrive and grow. If you get stung by a bee, you don't try to talk it out of stinging you again. You break out the big can of insecticide and kill the pest! Peace cannot begin until the source of the attack is neutralized or eliminated. Therefore, war is usually the most effective tool for peace.

You just keep that hippie attitude. I can't wait to see the look on your face when this happens to your town. Next time, it may be nuclear or worse. Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon are terrorist nations and all have nuclear capabilities. China has us in the crosshairs too. On the next attack, you'll be lucky to be as fortunate as this poor guy.

... think that this was so wrong of Apple. Looking at the screen shot of xtunes on their own webpage, the similarities are very striking, including the top bar (which copies nearly identically the top bar of iTunes... compare xtunes screenshot to iTunes screenshot).

Apple did a nice thing by warning them first, instead of just taking out a full subpeona and outright attacking them. Maybe they could have done the really nice thing and not have lawyers do the contacting... but with lawyers, it's hard to ignore them and you know that they're most probably really from Apple, not some weirdo trying to scare you. That said, the similarities between the two are very striking, almost an pure copy outside some icon changes.

Hopefully the sumi people can just let this pass and make some good changes to their interface. I must say, as an iTunes user, that there are bits of the interface which I wouldn't mind to see improved, including adding some additional buttons which I used quite frequently on my old MP3 player, Macast.

In developing countries of you get people to pedal 10 hours a day.

You do know that there's only one Lance Armstrong, right?

And at the rate he's going, there won't be too many more ;-).

While you don't need Mac OS X Server to do this, the same resources will apply. I would recommend the OS X Server mailing list, or the X Server Admin Guide. Both are good sources of info for doing just this kind of thing.

Also take a look at some non-Apple resources: AFP548.com is consistently the most current, and has a question and answer bulletin board; there's also StepWise, an oldie but goodie.

Hope that helps, and good luck.

When we have this

When you look at the picture at the end of the article, you can see that one part of the laser is directed through a LCD screen, afa I understand it, if you change the pic on the LCD you change the hologram, changing pictures gives you animations if you can change 'em fast enough. Also, according to the graphic, the projection is in the room in front of the projection panel, not behind, like in the common art-photo-holos.

Right... here.

At 20.8MB, I'm really impressed with the quality of the compression.

Well, I got the full screen version, and it said that it doesn't allow saving. So... I did a get info on the movie, and lo and behold, there is an entry called source which is a URL. I typed this into wget, and it is downloading. For those who want to save it, here is the akamai URL:

The Dragon Warrior is a small unmanned helicopter which looks like a toilet seat with wings.

What kind of toilet seats do you have? And...huh, where are the wings? IMHO, that looks very much like an helicopter.

Hah... these MIT gurus think they have originality, huh? Well, I'll have you know that the guys behind South park have mastered the skill of matching voices to moving mouths long ago.

Damn Canadians and their flapping heads... and Saddam Hussein, too!

Moderators, I realize your brain says "-1 Troll", but the rapid movement of your collective right hands suggests a "+5 Informative", perhaps. ;)

I know my wife's lab is all Macs for CellQuest flow cytometry software, and with BLAST, folding@home, Mathematica's new build and other initiatives, Apple is making strides in scientfic fileds--they have every right to be gassy about it.

Apple makes the vast majority of its revenue through hardware sales, somewhere around 90-95%.

Your numbers are a bit pessimistic here. It's easy to find the data on this, but here are Apple's Financial Data for Q1 2002. "Software and other" accounts for approximately 11% of Apple's $1 billion in revenue for that quarter. Plus, "perhipherals and other hardware" accounts for an additional 12%. (Apple's peripherals are relevant and sexy and will continue to sell to PC owners and existing Apple owners.) So we can account for up to maybe 23% in non-hardware revenues (ie, non iMac, iBook, PowerMac). Will iMac, iBook, and Power Mac sales drop to 0 overnight? Of course not -- they have a dedicated following who are not going to immediately jump ship and start buying beige commodity PC clones.

Sadly, people line up overnight to buy a Micosoft OS. I predict that there would be far longer lines for OS X for PC. This would be a new, very profitable part of their offering.

the unit cost of an operating system is much less than the cost of a hardware box

And the per unit profit of an operating system is much higher than the profit on a hardware box.

No company can gp to Wall Street and say: I'm going to chop my annual revenues down from $8 billion to $500 million.

First of all, the Mac hardware zealots of the world will not start buying PC clones overnight. Secondly, I've shown you that your revenue ratio of (iMac+iBook+PowerMac+PowerBook)/Total is way off. So perhaps we see Apples' revenues cut in half. And a lot of hardware engineers laid off. And more software engineers hired. And their marketing magic dedicated entirely to OS X. Yes, this is scary for an investor, but the other side of the story is that margins and gross profits would be way up, by multiples, and the magic "profit per diluted share" and similar numbers may look stronger than Apple has had in a long time.

Plus you'd have an immense renewed interest in the developer community to create apps for OS X. Windows developers and publishers who have the benefit of a ridiculously huge installed hardware base could now try their hand at OS X development with less risk than ever before.

If Apple really believed in this approach, I'm certain they could spin it for their shareholders. They've been around for a few decades now and had their share of crazy company announcements without destroying themselves.

I just downloaded virus scan evaluation version here. I didn't see an agree button on any website, so whats the problem?

... in at least two places: here in medium resolution and here in high resolution.

Fatbrain publishes Apple Mac OS X documentation, a couple of which are relevant to administration:

There is also a document on understanding Netinfo and info on administrator training.

The "SpaceWalker" is no way as cute as the Apple iMac. Plus the iMac comes with a NVidia GeForce 2 MX 3D card and 15" LCD monitor. The iMac has DVD-R/CD-R burning compared to the CD-RW of the SpaceWalker. Also, the iMac only has a 10.6" foot print. From what I understand, that is smaller than the FlexATX board.

The SpaceWalker is more a diamond in the ruff compared to the polished Apple iMac.

I'm not joking. It sounds like it was written for Warrior of the Lost World and performed by the same people who recorded "Shine, Jesus, Shine." I can just imagine Donald Pleasance conducting. And it's going to take some serious drinking and Lard to get it out of my head now.

Boy, Dionne Warwick must have it bad. She's gone from "That's What Friends Are For" to singing the KPMG theme song. And I thought she was dead.

I, too, was somehwhat uncertain of KPMG's purpose.

But after hearing their theme song (mp3 from the wired article) I understand. "KPMG/We're strong as can be/A dream of power and energy/We go for the goal/Together we hold/On to our vision of global strategy..."

As the articles points out, KPMG has only gotten themselves into this embarrassing situation because they were unhappy about people making fun of another embarrassing situation: The KPMG Theme Song! It explains their power, strength, and global strategy (which must include really bad music).

The feds have been accused of this before, though it's unclear to me whether or not the accusations are valid. Still, this would be a great way to deliver the application, and, as another commenter astutely noted, it would get the justice department to look at the convicted monopolists a bit less negatively.

Certainly, it wouldn't the first time that the US government had aligned themselves with nasty people...

Actually, that is not a direct link. It's a link to binary file of some kind containing a pointer to the actual movie file out on Akamai's network. If you do not have QT5Pro, it still prompts you to upgrade before downloading the file from Akamai.

I may be in violation of the DMCA for having used the notorious hacker program strings(1), but here is the Akamai link I found in the pointer file downloaded from the link above. Hope Apple doesn't sue.
