Apple Introduces Xserve Rackmount Servers
2nd Post! writes "MacCentral is reporting the announcement of 1U Apple rackmount hardware. The Xserve, despite its cheesy name, seems quite powerful: dual G4/1GHz with 4MB DDR L3 cache, up to 2GB DDR (yes!) SDRAM, 4 ATA drive bays (up to 480GB), 2 Gb Ethernet ports, 2 64/66 PCI slots (one of which may be taken up by one Gb Ethernet card), and, of course, FireWire. Pricing starts at $2,999 for a single 60GB disk and 256MB RAM." Yahoo! has posted the press release; Doc Searls is writing about Jobs' speech. Update: 05/14 18:14 GMT by M : Apple's page about the Xserve is now live.

A computer without a Microsoft operating system is like a dog without bricks tied to its head
C'mon editors, you know how a certain segment of Slashdot readers are. Now we have to wade through a pile of "why didn't they?"'s which were answered at the end of the press conference. The signal to noise ratio would have been greatly improved if this story went up 15 minutes later.
My God, it's Full of Source!
