MacHack Theme Unveiled

Carlos Finque writes "After much consideration, this year's theme of the annual MacHack conference was unveiled today: 'MacHack 18: Unstoppable'. Read the press statement and don't forget to register while you can. Mindful of the inevitability of their own conference and the unstoppability of it all, the committee looked for a suitable symbol for things that keep moving no matter what. It turned out that the committee needed look no further than their own Mac screen. Apple's own busy cursor -- the SPoD or 'Spinning Pizza of Death' -- is the inspiration for this year's MacHack theme element."

Why do Apple computers cost so much? by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-20 03:22 · Score: -1, Flamebait

If their chips are designed by IBM and Motorola, their OS is leeched from BSD, and new software ideas are stolen from small software developers after their licenses are revoked, Why do Apple computers cost so much?

It is obvious that they have little to no R&D costs. They only need a few developers to make changes to the code they "acquire". The rest is manufacturing, which is monkey work, no big salaries there.

Damn, I guess Steve really is brilliant.
