More Information and Useful Links
Over at MacSlash we covered the news last week in this story. We've got some more details, and some good links for more information.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Newer Technologies makes a pretty sweet iMac upgrade, too. Their videotape installation makes it easy to pop in and go, although it's only 466 mhz, as opposed to the 500 discussed in the article above.

Re:Huh. VA seems to be doing a decent job, at theIn Arizona you can pay your registration online as long as you don't need an inspection, which is cars less than 5 years old I believe. After that it is only every other year.
Most impressive, though, is that I was able to get a new license with my new address on it online. Since moving to the credit card style IDs they save your picture and therefore I just logged on, paid $6 and two days later got a new license with a new address, no lines.
My only arguement was that it actually cost $2 more than if I had gone down to MVD and waited in line. The extra $2 was worth it, but I disagree with companies charging me a fee to make their work easier. (I didn't require the time of a "teller" and they can presumably do these online IDs during "slow periods" when a person might otherwise be idle, if that ever happens at the MVD.)

More Coverage and Comments
In an article posted last Thursday, MacSlash broke the story about the Bungie MS deal. Later that same day, the site was hacked because of the story.
Today, we're running a story about the deal, and we'll continue our coverage through the week. So far, the feedback has been very negative and people in the Mac community, are outraged and angry. Jason Jones has basically villified himself and sold out.. Stop by MacSlash to get more Mac News and add your voice to the mix.

Re:Halo looks better!! Err (slightly offtopic)
Go and read the MacSlash article to pick up the quote from Edelman's Joy Nestor (MS spokesman, apparently) about there being an announcement soon.

Re:This only means one thing...Let me analyze a few statements here...
1. If you are a graphic artist, sooner or later some client will send you a disk from another graphic artist with a file done in Illustrator 9 and you may be required to buy or warez version 9 in order to complete his job.
2. I recommend anyone who is considering buying or upgrading Illustrator to reconsider and buy Canvas instead...
3. And Corel's Photopaint... is good enough to COMPLETELY REPLACE PHOTOSHOP for much less money.
You say that if I use Illustrator 8 I will one day need to upgrade to version 9 to accomodate a customer? That is very valid and very true. The part I don't understand is that using Canvas/PhotoPaint will allow me to not have to upgrade to the newer Adobe versions. If there is some new proprietary feature in Illustrator/Photoshop that I need to use and can't be circumvented by saving as an
I would still have have to get raped by Adobe for their upgrade and I will have wasted time, money and training on another product as well!
In the graphic arts industry it is extremely difficult to deviate from the "industry standards" because your service bureau probably doesn't have it/doesn't support it/doesn't have anyone who knows how to use it/doesn't know what it is.

Similar coverage
A similar story is running over at MacSlash. I just discovered the site and it is looking good. Their insights and comments appear quite relevant. Does anyone know much about it? I figure it is like Slashdot for Mac users. Very cool.

Re:Cell Phone Use, in General, is a Bad ThingYes, I believe they will tell us that Pepsi causes cancer in a few years....
I think Pepsi One can actually cause cancer in a matter of days. Maybe not, but tasting that crap is just as bad as cancer.

Re:Hrmm..why would they install a buggy operating system in a house? to make it crash more?
Interesting. I wonder what OS gates uses in that techno-palace of his.

Re:Wonder what Motorola has to say about this?Motorola had something like $100M worth of "StarMax PowerPC Computers" built and ready to go when Apple did that.
The funny thing is that all of the StarMaxes around Motorola are leased. Why would any company lease a product that they built themselves. That's like installing a soda machine in your house and thinking "Man, the more soda I drink, the more money I make."
I don't think Motorola is too happy about them using PowerPC.
They're not, that's most of the reason they are switching to NT machines and getting rid of all the Macs.
I don't think anyone would want to supply anything to Apple after getting backstabbed like that.
Well, just because you don't like what somebody does doesn't mean you stop making a bunch of money off of them.

Re:It's actually been done :)Actually, there was a rumor back before the iBook came out that Apple was going to license the technology from the guy who created the hand crankable flashlight and/or radio and would be releasing a crankable laptop. There was also talk of having the "crank station" separate so that there would be one "crank station" in a classroom and the students could recharge their laptops when necessary.
I wonder what happened to this idea. Maybe everyone's favorite rumormonger, Ryan, can help us out here.

Re:What kind of request is this?And besides, now that I can listen to bands before I buy, I actually buy more CD's. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this.
And I go to their concerts and buy their subsequent CDs as well. I would assume any band would rather have me pirate one album, but go to 2 concerts (at outrageous ticket prices these days) and buy the next 3 CDs as well. Don't forget I'm not going alone to the concert so that's at least one other ticket sale for each show and possibly another fan who will start buying their shit as well. They may have lost the sale on the first CD (or maybe not if I liked it enough to go buy it), but I'm gonna make it up to them in the long run. Damn, this Napster thing is like a pyramid scheme run by the labels!
Maybe we should all forget Napster and go back to Hotline. If only we didn't have to sign up for AllAdvantage to get access to Hotline sites...

Re:So what Mac?And there are better machines out there to run Linux on.
Did it ever occur to you that there are other OSes in the world and you are free to use whichever one you wish. Some people choose to run Mac OS and Apple hardware because it is the best solution for their needs, not yours.
Don't be so damn close-minded, you're giving the other linux guys a bad name.

Re:when will we have computer drives for dvd-rw?Actually I have every Metallica song they ever did on mp3 on one cd and that was before they started suing everyone.
You're either lying or using really crappy quality MP3s, because I can't fit them all on a single CD, even an 80 minute one.

Re:This explains a lotAs for soda; it's the restaurants (and movie theaters) that have the gigantic profit margin there.
I have a friend that owns a cafe that serves Coca-Cola fountain products. He says that his cost for a 16oz soda, including the paper cup that says Coke, is less than 16.
I also hate restaurants (usually smaller local places not huge franchises) that say "Free Refills on Large Drinks Only." WTF?
Bringing it back around to CDs, do bands like Metallica, BackDoor Boys, Britney, etc. really need to earn hundreds of millions of dollars? How rich is rich enough? There is a point where you can pretty much afford anything you want. Metallica owns their own jet for Christ's sake. Who do they think they are? Steve Jobs?

Re:Um, but didn't Metallica ADVOCATE bootlegging?Metallica used to advocate bootlegging their own music as a means of promotion.
IIRC they allowed bootlegging of their live shows, not of their albums. (Except for maybe before they were even signed.)
I'm curious to know how many of these Napster users were trading live bootlegs as opposed to songs available on their albums.
