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."

    MAY be faster? Do we have politicians submitting articles to /. now? An article completely devoid of a definitive answer... unbelieveable
    Don't worry, by the time /. puts up a duplicate posting tomorrow, they may have a random opinion added :-/

    no no no - you got it all wrong - I'm stringing letters together. not entire words. the words are simply an epiphenomena that you see as a result of me flailing away against my keyboard.

    I just close my eyes and bang on the keys and then as a result, you see this.

    Same reason Ford was able to win the Manufacturer's Championship in 1966 and Le Mans 66-69: while the Ferraris sure were perty, the Fords, and their V8s, just kept on pulling through the night. And, yes, the whole argument is pointless.
