New Mac System Specs

xyankee writes " Think Secret appears to be dishing more of the dirt that Apple loves to hate so much, this time dropping details on updated Power Mac G5, iMac G5, and eMac systems soon to be released. Looks like speed bumps all around: Power Macs get to 2.7GHz, iMacs to 2GHz, and eMacs to 1.42GHz. Video cards and SuperDrives are also upgraded."

Tiger is supposed to include this feature:

Fine Grain Locking (SMP scalability)
Enjoy improved performance and scalability.

And with the cool feature of being built on a monolithic kernel interface. Way to go Apple. Whoo Hoo.

Oh wait, the monolithic kernel interface they stole kind of sucks at multi-processor and mult-threaded performance.

Maybe the next Open Source software they steal and sell at high prices will be better suited for the G5 architecture with Dual Core Processors.

And people have the nerve to bitch at Microsoft, when Apple not only rips off who they can, and then drops it in a propriety OS on proriety hardware. At least Microsoft Built their own freaking Kernel and Kernel client/server system - i.e. Cutler's development team.

You get back to us when your quarterly sales top $3 billion and your market cap is over $30 billion

Mmmkay...

Ok, and how does this compare to IBM or even Dell alone, and they are single companies selling a variety of the the competing architecture. Mmmkay...

Shall we compare Microsoft's Sales and Cap?

Gates alone could personally Buy out Apple out of his personal assets.

So we should all hail the great success of Apple, why again? Mmmkay...

Oh wait, they are successful because of the popularity of the IPOD. A device that mimics features found on products that Create Jukebox had released in 1998 - wow some innovation, rip off the competition... Oh wait, only Microsoft would do that, not your precious Apple. Just like they wouldn't rip off the BSD interface or the Kernel in OSX. Oh wait, they did that too.

When oh when will Apple innovate again?

Ipod sales do not equate to Market share on the desktop, nor is the halo effect going to increase the Mac's market share enough to even make companies like Dell or Microsoft BLINK.

Why? Because Apple is small potatoes... MMMKay...

BUT... if you don't have like a gig of ram, you can get a lot of lag while multitasking

Thank you very much! I will be sure to add that to the list of reason I don't want to get a Mac, which I give out every week when someone tells me I should buy one...
