One more G4 for the PowerBook?
PurdueGraphicsMan writes "Much as we'd love to see the next PowerBook revision include a processor evolution to the mighty G5, we know it's not that simple. The Register provides some sound reasoning (and boatloads of model numbers and voltage specs) as to why we'll probably see a 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook before any G5 PowerBooks materialize." I don't want a G5 on my lap anyway. It'd make me feel guilty, having that much power in a small package while other people can't even get it in a PC tower. Oh, and I don't want to burn my lap.
It'd make me feel guilty, having that much power in a small package [...] and I don't want to burn my lap.
Not to worry, the Viagra they spam isn't contraindicated against the "Grow your Willy 4 Inches in 4 Days" stuff.
Trolling is a art,
Ummm...am I on the wrong website?

As long as we're throwing cheap shots, as least we don't have to plug in an external device to get a second mouse button. I'm surprised you didn't make a BSoD joke. I know I can never get enough of those!

I sure hope the bitch-slap feature requires some sort of ActiveX component so pudge can't seek revenge. Zing!

Yeah, it is far more satisfying having that much power in a large package in that general region.
Not exactly the state of mind of most people when they purchase that ultra-compact incredibly powerful new machine using the PHP's lost credit card. I hate to ask this, but what kind of terrible Freudian traumas did you suffer as a child?
Mother: Pudge, are you surfing in there?
Pudge: Yes, mom, now leave me alone?
Mother: Two-hand surfing, Pudge! And stay away from newsnet!
Pudge: Grrrr... mumble. Thank god for peer-to-...
Mother: And no Kazaa either!
Pudge: Damn!

Is that what they call it these days?

Don't you mean, "on a small package"?
Well, I hope that they sell the low-power version of the laptop in the Swedish market.
While you wait for your G5 on your lap...
"why we'll probably see a 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook before any G5 PowerBooks materilize"
You harness the full ONE POINT FIVE ghz of power from the next powerbook...us PC tower users will never see such power.
And, speaking of humour...my prof's PowerBook core dumped yesterday as he was lecturing
It was fun to see the scrolling text take over the screen from the GUI

And I just bought the 1.25Ghz AlBook, last week.
I'm thinking of starting to take up a fund, to help me buy any existing technology that people want upgraded. Then, it'll be a matter of two weeks and, ta-da, new tech is now available!
You just need to buy yourself a pair of asbestos pants :)

You know you want it.

Hello Basher, welcome to Nethack! You are a lawful human Knight.
You see here a apple.
There is an apple here;eat it? [ynq] (n)
The apple was delicious; core dumped.
They solved it. Now they include an asbestos underpants with every laptop.

How do I mod an article as a troll?
A clear housing would be cool too. But I'm not sure that I want those little plastic fish floating around in my laptop.
>>I have no doubt a 1Ghz G4 iBook would satisfy the computing needs of a liberal arts college student.
The computing _needs_ of a liberal arts student could be satisfied by a typewriter. The only reason a student needs a powerbook is as a babe magnet, which means they're really only necessary for geeks.

I mean.. lets say it didn't _have_ to be water..
.. interface)
i dont know about you but it seems like i've always got more extra "coolant" that my body is urging me to get rid of.. and this laptop is running to hot... and it's already sitting in my lap..
if some sort of interface were made to allow for human releif and laptop cooling... the problem could be solved.

I'll be sure to think about what you said -- and then laugh -- while I'm playing Half-Life 2.
Windows xp hasn't been around for four years idiot.
why does this story have a G5 icon, if it's about G4s! I smell a bait and switch in progress...

No, you have plenty of feck.
a little competition from Motorola can only be good for us consumers!
What about non us consumers? You self centered americans are always thinking about yourselves.
If you want a babe magnet, get a 12" iBook G4. Girls find it irresistible. Buy a Powerbook and all you will attract is going to be nerds. Why do you think the iBook looks like a chiclet?

Look, man, go easy on him. Sucking cock is tough! You've gotta know how to maintain just the right rhythm and pressure while keeping your teeth out of the way. You've gotta know where your limit is so you don't choke or gag. You've gotta know how to tell whether he wants to cum in your mouth or on your face. There's a lot to keep track of!
Don't underestimate sucking cock. It's very difficult.
There is no "right out of the box and use it without learning".
Except for NippleOS.
Anyway, any self-respecting MacGeek knows that you can predict Apple's product release schedule about as well as you can predict the moods of a pregnant woman.
That was classic intercourse!

How do I mod an original post as Flamebait?
-- This sig for rent.
^ mod this guy up.
My iBook attracts more girls than a Justin Timberlake vs Brad Pitt naked jelly wrestling contest.
I have to fend them off with pointy sticks.
Yeah, they only released a new PPC processor to further confuse you and the braindead moderators that gave you an "informative".

To the guy who modded me down from perfect to terrible Karma - Apple haters still suck
I think that this guy had a prototype G5 Powerbook
