Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison Redux

Posted by pudge on from the benchmarks-would-not-lie-to-me dept.

Macmurph writes "Bibble Labs has released a lightning fast version of the RAW image convertor, MacBibble. According to MacBibble creator, Eric Hyman, "MacBibble 3.x is almost 10 times faster than the manufacturers software when converting RAW files under OSX.". Prelimenary tests indicate the Mac may be faster than PCs in RAW image conversion afterall. This calls into question the relevance of the the hotly debated article Rob Galbraith posted just 3 weeks ago and discussed here on Slashdot. Two thumbs up for the PowerPC G4's AltiVec vector processing engine, now being put to work in MacBibble."

    Man writes fast code on Mac for doing a single task; wannabe journalist extrapolates this to figure that Mac's are faster than PCs.

    Stay tuned for next week when we take the existence of bikini waxes to show that George W Bush is a paedophile.

    No, I understood your point just fine. Your a non-American with an inferiority complex.
