Apple Responds to Adobe
Thargok333 writes "Apple calls out Adobe on the 'PC is Faster' article linked from the Adobe website. They state that it is an After Effects bug, which they are working close to Adobe to fix. With Adobe's idea of G4 optimization, I am not impressed that a 'single 1.25 GHz G3' gets beat by a P4 3 GHz."
***News Flash*** IBM Restarts G3 Production In a move deemed to promote older processors, IBM has continued production of its G3 line. In its latest press release, it announced that it has incorportaed the new 1.25GHz processor into a special edition Macintosh dubbed the "1.25 GHz G3 model." Our sources speculate that this may indeed not be the case, and that this was just a typo. More details as they emerge.
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
Between PCs vs Macs, and AMD vs Intel, we need a new way of measuring performance that doesn't get tied up in facts and speeds. Might I suggest the Decimal Unit Performance Estimate (DUPE), based on how much you can get done:
1 - Nothing (aka "Jack", "Sod all", "Bugger all")
2 - Something, but barely
3 - Enough to stay awake
4 - Enough to stay employed
5 - Enough to make an actual contribution
6 - Enough to achieve, oh, what's it called, oh yes "job satisfaction" (avoided obvious orgasm joke)
7 - Loads
8 - Loads and loads
9 - Shedloads
10 - Absolute Shedloads
The reader is left to assign the ranking to each system.
Cheers, Paul
