    for one side (Apple) or the other (Intel, et al.) to switch to an organic compound instead of silicon. If that really will allow a huge speed increase, then it seems to follow that whoever adopts this first will have a huge competitive edge.

    That's assuming, of course, that the price is half-way reasonable. Anybody have news on that front?

    More and more every day, this site seems to be just a copy of OSnews.com. I can't tell you how many times I see a story posted there first, and within a couple of hours the same story with the same wording is posted here. What gives? We don't need two sites being copies of each other.

    I find it funny that all the posts that are moderate towards the Macintosh, or show how a Wintel machine can be a bit more, or generally don't slam the Mac, are all modded very low. I give this post 30 seconds before it is modded -1 Troll.

    FLAIMBAIT?

    Since when is truth flaimbait?

    Posting an review on slashdot that claims that the G-5 is fast because it boots into photoshop in 8 seconds is flaimbait.

    Sometimes I hate slashdot
