No, no, no, this is Slashdot. You're supposed to first give him a passive-aggressive beratement for using an application with a GUI, then instead of answering his question, tell him to use the most obscure command-line app available (or possibly write one), without, of course, telling him where to get the app.
Also, include references to one of the following: WINE, FINK, and for extra points, Ogg.
According to this Apple page the problem is with the chipset.
OWC has posted a firmware update for their drives, as has Wiebetech. It looks like the Wiebetech requires you to update the firmware in Jaguar, and then they don't recommend using it IN Jaguar afterwards... Sheesh.
If it only took a week to get 1,000,000 songs purchased and downloaded, vs. 13,000,000 for the Mac-only version over six months, this could be used by Apple's board and/or investors to press the company to open more of their applications and operating system d00dahs to operate under Windows
iTunes on Windows makes financial sense because the user is paying for something... the songs. Apple is making money off that (well, actually they're making money off sales of iPods, but I digress). iLife on Windows doesn't make any sense, because when you use them, you're not buying anything. You buy a Mac in order to use them.
Hence Shiller's "Trojan Horse" comment. They're hoping that users see how well iTunes work, and decide to see if the rest of the Mac is like that, too.
Set it up on my LAN at work. My work box is an older Dell with 2000. Set up was a breeze, and I'm ripping my CDs on to it now.
Just installed it on a workstation we use in a central locaiton. It found my computer's iTunes music file. Now we can play the music without having our CDs laying in different locations.
Installation's a breeze. Even installed on the workstation even though it doesn't have the latest updates.
At home I'm a Mac/Jaguar user at home--the interface looks almost exactly the same (some different fonts), and moves quickly.
Just one week after the "G5"'s introduction, Apple has been hit by shocking allegations that the name of the chip powering the computer is nothing more than a tawdry attempt at huckstering, worthy of the lowest flim-flam artist.
According to highly placed industry sources, the "G5" is actually the IBM PowerPC 970, and Apple has been using the "G5" name simply to sell more computers.
Through a systematic application of underhanded techniques known as "marketing," Apple attempted to convince customers that the "G5" was newer and a step above its previous computers.
"Apple has plaster the 'G5' moniker all over its promotional materials," said InfoWorld's Tom Yager. "And it's all a lie. They made that name up."
Chapter One: "I have FIVE black lotuses in my main deck" is not a good way to impress girls. Niether is using the phrase "Ogg Vorbis" every chance you get.
Then you won't have to take the train into London, which means that there will be no opportunities for someone to be murdered under baffling circumstances, only to be revealed that the secret Davis-Harkinson plans are somehow involved, leading to a deadly knife-fight on the roof of the club car in the dead of night.
It's hardly fair to blame NASA for "neglect." The nation was obsessed with a moon landing because we wanted to beat the Commies up there!
Despite a relatively large ad campaign back in the 80s, I think (celebs explaining the technology that had come out of space research), most people still don't get why we're sending scientific missions up there.
In closing, I'd like to say "flag on the moon... how did it get there?"
Considering that "uncertainty" is a noun, and "doubt" is both a noun AND a verb...no.
In the verb context, doubt clearly has a different meaning than does uncertainty.
Hmm... not so sure about that. Dictionary.com lists the following verb meanings for doubt.
1. To be undecided or skeptical about: began to doubt some accepted doctrines.
2. To tend to disbelieve; distrust: doubts politicians when they make sweeping statements.
3. To regard as unlikely: I doubt that we'll arrive on time.
I don't see a great degree of differentiation.
Good job with your little addition to FUD.
I would think that asking people to express themselves clearly would decrease uncertainty.
The Apple "Airport Extreme" was the first commercial 802.11g device to market - and Apple did their best to put a "spin" on it that it was somehow their own invention
Granted, Apple didn't invent 802.11g, but Airport Extreme also includes the Apple software, which makes it easy to set up.
And after trying to get the Windows software to play nice on a shared network, I can tell you, that's a definite plus. Actual passwords (as opposed to hexadecimal) and autodetection/autojoin on the level of Airport are great usability benefits.
This means Apple won't be going out of business! I know well over a kazillion individiuals who were waiting to buy a Mac, anxious to use it's unique suite of photo, movie, and DVD tools, not to mention the Apple Music Store, but when they found out that there was a fast, reliable broswer that WASN'T skinnable, they became suspicious.
"No Opera!?" they said, "No thanks!"
On report of this news, Smith Barney raised Apple stock to a new "Super-Buy" rating, and gave candy to everyone.
Slashdot Mirror
Travellers report that America has discovered Future Tech 1!
I've been looking for this for ages, ever since I saw it in the pages of Macaddict.
Talk about design. Man. Really takes you back to a time when art and science were one in the same.
Pity we can't mass produce these things, but then, if we did, no one would buy them, because they don't look "professional."
Too bad for you losers who use this TCP thing... you should be smart and use AOL, like me!
Now you must demand that Apple give you a new one and create an iMovie of you defacing their advertisements.

Well, I think they should evaulate all the projects, the experience of the team members, cost-effectiveness and feasability of the project...
And then give the contract to Haliburton.
That can't be a linux pumpkin... it has a graphic interface!
Whoops! I mean... er... uh... hey, look over there, Ogg Vorbis!

Well, since the best selling digital music device in the world is the iPod...
Anyhoo, why not use iTunes to play your MP3s? It's an elegant system for organizing your library, and it doesn't cost you anything.
Great... now we can have crappy control mechanisms on our cell phones. To wit:
"I love the powerglove... it's so bad!"
When will it port for Mac?

Finally! A book geeks can use!
Chapter One: "I have FIVE black lotuses in my main deck" is not a good way to impress girls. Niether is using the phrase "Ogg Vorbis" every chance you get.
And you'll also get the 14 volume double-sided DVD set of George Lucas, in a continuous monologue, defending Jar Jar Binks.
Then you won't have to take the train into London, which means that there will be no opportunities for someone to be murdered under baffling circumstances, only to be revealed that the secret Davis-Harkinson plans are somehow involved, leading to a deadly knife-fight on the roof of the club car in the dead of night.
Is THAT what you want?

Leave me alone. I'm on NyQuil.
Yes, but what kind of Doom III FPS can you get?
I've invented a paper-thin material than can support an INFINITE number of dots per inch! It's dirt cheap and uses exisiting technology!
Oh wait, that's just some paper I had lying around...
So what you're saying is that the TiBooks could "snap," the Cube would "crackle," and now with the iPod, we're getting a "pop."
Hmmm... curious...
