Next-Gen Apples To Include 1394b, USB 2.0

USB 2.0 boosts data transfer up to 480Mbps, FireWire 1394b goes up to 3.2Gbps." It may seem a minor point, but the more and faster connections are built in, the less frequently the upgrade gremlins have to strike. 3.2Gbps!
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred less than 2 weeks ago and you people are talking about Apple's next-generation PowerMacs with USB 2.0 and double FireFire?!?! My GOD, people, GET SOME BLOODY PRIORITIES!
You people make me sick. I hope when America goes after the people responsible for this, they take out a few nerf toy playing, lego building, video game buying faggot little 5-year-old acting geeks as well.
GROW THE FUCK *UP*, PEOPLE. GET A FUCKING LIFE, GEEKS!
I heard from a co-worker late last week that Apple was laying off quite a few employees. Can anyone confirm this? It seems rather odd that a company that (according to some Mac/iMac users that I know) releases "such a great product" would be cutting their work force by so much.
I know a lot of Apple users, and I know a lot of Windows/Linux users, and each of them love their own systems, but the other thing that I can't understand is how Apple can stay in business when their computers cost a hell of a lot more than the Intel based PCs? I was pricing laptops a couple weeks ago, and for the money it would have cost me to buy a moderately loaded iMac, I could have gotten a Thinkpad for roughly half the cost, comparably equipped. Do Mac/iMac users have money to burn? If so, send me some. My wife says my daughter needs an exer-saucer.
And they said zombies weren't real!
who is this "operator" you refer to, and why the fuck do you think you can tell him what the fuck to do?
Several places are accepting pre-orders for at least one model of a 1394b/USB2 mac.
