Apple Previewing New Power Mac?
dunric writes "CNET.com reports that Apple Computer may be previewing a new Power Mac, complete with dual G5 processors and a more advanced memory configuration." The "previewing" isn't intentional, though -- the report is based on service and repair documents distributed last month and reported on AppleInsider.com. AppleInsider has taken down at least one image from their report, but have added an artist's rendering.
Check this link out from Appleinsider under the user name "windowsblowsass". I thought that was humorous.
Yes! I listen to NYC Speedcore and do math at 3AM. I suggest you try it too.
Unfortunately, you didn't seem to get a keyboard that has caps lock or shift keys.
I'll take any Mac that runs at 1GHz or more (...not saying that 2 or 3GHz wouldn't be nice...). The family computer is shared by 4 people and runs at 800MHz. I want to get my own computer, so I can fill it up with my junk instead of everyone else's.

Please post your complete system specs and that of your brother's machine. Let's do an apples to Apple's comparison.
Pain is merely failure leaving the body
me too.
i'll never understand why people drive jaguars. my 70's chevy impala station wagon was way faster.
K.
Wow. Just mindblowing. A VERY bold move by Apple.
If you wanna get rich, you know that payback is a bitch
Who the hell can say that Apple is not THE SHIT?
:)
- Cocoa
- Quartz
- Stylish industrial design.
- Best tech support in the business. They treat you WELL!
I go to the library with my puny little iBook and chicks come talk to me. OVER a freaking computer!!!
You can run all kinds of free software thru Fink.
You can run Windows thru Virtual PC (Dog slow, but it works).
They include X11, Developer tools, all kinds of pretty things....
WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT?????
Can't wait until they put Gianpaolo to good use and get rid of HFS+, though. Case preservation can kiss my ass.
I'm 28, been using computers since 5. Apple is THE SHIT!!!
I had forgot about the fun in computing until I got my first Apple in 2001.
There are a lot of old dogs, who have been through a lot of shit, and they all say that, for example, a Powerbook is what computers should have been all along.
Damn right.
BTW... screw Political Correctness. You all post shit on slashdot like you were waiting a table. You CAN make a valid point and still say the word FUCK. It's OK.
I like this quote by Lenny Bruce (don't know who the hell he is, but anyhow):
'Take away the right to say "fuck" and you take away the right to say "fuck the government.'
Take care! Oh, and get a Mac. You'll see what I'm talking about.
P.S. - It rules when a HOT chick you just hooked up with complains about the breathing led on your sleeping Mac.
Yes, it is possible to write some serious code and still pull ass.
Wasn't Feynman the biggest nerd ever, and still able to pull ass?
Feminists hated the bitch, and he was fucking with quantum physics.
How can you not admire a dude like that, who goes to Brasil to learn how to play the bongos
Some idiot writes 10 lines of PERL and thinks it's OK to have no game. Pathetic.
What's the point of being able to mess (as in write/modify -- not compile) a kernel if you can't walk up to a HOT girl and say:
"Hi! I'm XYZ. You have a beatiful smile. Can I buy you a drink/Hold this for you/Open the fucking door/Give you flowers/whatever the fuck?"
Women are humans. Humans.
Sorry about the offtopicness but half of the blogs I read, from people who write better code than me, are depressing because those dudes can't get laid.
"When I go to a conference, I relate to those people, but how do I talk to girls?"
Geek guides for dating.... WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!
There is NO guide for dating.
Be the fucking man. Be assertive. Be strong. Just fucking do it.
Insecure? Go test your fucking limits: skydive, pump iron, pick a fight... do something fucking manly... and you get women.
That's it. I'm sick of this post. Take care.
Please remove parent post.
Love,
Apple.
I have. I had an old Camry and an old 320i. The Camry was dependable, durable, and went forever. The beemer was nasty. Looked great, people went "ooh, BMW...", but it broke down far too often.
The worst was when two hotties watched me walk up to my car, I heard one say "ooh, he drives a BMW.." - I started it up, and it belched a MASSIVE cloud of exhaust that nearly filled the block. Fortunately I used the smokescreen to escape and evaid their laughter...
So yes, this analogy is appropriate. Give me the Toyota.
Apple is one of the few companies that actually treats computers like a home appliance.
Which is why you can use the G5 as a cheese grater.
common sense: noun
What those who are ignorant of the subject matter think; usually wrong.
"Apple's design goes beyond aesthetics"
Yep. I still own one of the old iMacs. It makes a fine mp3 player in the living room.
I am reminded of the famous Apple design aesthetic each time I try to use that round mouse.
My G4 iBook still has numlock
But I fail to see how it is useful
4 5 53 6 6 5 5 443.
That's no heat sink. It's a spacestation.
What if it is just turtles all the way down?
Congratulations. You have created a detailed Apple-is-Too-Expensive response to an Apple article. Your numbers were nice, and though your prose lacked both quality and originality, I assume you care about either and merely wanted the most cost effective language that could complete the task. As a Slashdot-pronounced "Mac-loving, astroturfering fag" I should attempt to construct the requisite "stupid windows user, nobody cares how cheap your Athlon 64 system was, the Mac is a superior package" response. But my heart's not really into it. So I'll respond thusly:
Good for you. You should be very proud of yourself, creating a nice, fast, usable computer for a very decent price. I personally have been scammed into purchasing four of their computers over the past 10 years for prices that were 10-30% higher than their warranty-free open market PC equivalents. I suppose I should be upset about being a victim of Apple's unfair pricing, but I'm not. I like my Apple gear. It's really good stuff.
Incidentally, if your friend was REALLY doing anything serious with databases, he'd have asked you to scrap the fancy graphics card for a RAID setup with dual CPUs.
Hey freaks: now you're ju
Look at this also - Lian Li has produced a PC case BETTER than the Apple G5 case:

Too bad Apple. I can't wait to see where they go next, but I'm getting on carbon fibre composites.
I just ordered a Dual 2GHz G5 last week!
This always happens....
