    > no PowerBook G5). They also introduced a new professional photography application known as Aperture, rounding out their software lineup for creative professionals.

    ...but when they do, they'll guarantee that the living hell is confused out of of camera buffs, Macheads, Photoshop users, and, well, just about every search engine on the planet.

    "Your problem is that you didn't correctly set the aperture on your G5, which accounts for the bad results in Aperture on your G5. That's because aperture data isn't recorded in the Aperture suite, so creative professionals should use Creative Suite, and don't even think of swapping your iPod Photo for a G5 and the Zen player made by these guys, and be thankful that Creative doesn't make a sound card for the G5 either.

    Who the hell hired Bjarne Stroustroup as a product marketing specialist, and why, dear, God, why, did he accept? :)

      Yes, but remember, the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!

      I thought the chalice from the palace had the pellet with the poison, and the flagon with the dragon originally had the brew that was true. But someone dropped the flagon with the dragon, so that had to be substituted.

    A maxed-out PowerMac is now equivalent in cost to a semester of tuition at this particular private college.

    I can't help but notice the omission of "faster processor" there, is there really no boost in speed? Yikes!

    No, the Yikes PowerMac was the original 400MHz G4 Powermac revealed in August 1999.

    Well, this explains how they manage to compress a full episode of Lost overnight to H.264.
