Yeah you know those MP3 Decoder Chips you can't seem to find? Try looking in your DVD player that supports MP3 on the fly.
DVD Player Market is separate from the portable MP3 player market and millions upon millions of MP3 Decoder chips are in standard DVD home entertainment units.
HVAC Systems for commerical and home use aren't in the same market as automobile A/C units but you get the point.
And the fact that it is equaling benchmarks of the non-debug-mode Panther should make it clear.
Debug code is always slower.

How is this giving Apple's consumer applications an advantage? What this shows is where Apple has optimized security and performance within the WindowServer and its functionality of Expose in conjunction with the Dock.
This has nothing to do with Apple utilizing a secret API for all its consumer applications like Final Cut Pro, etc to put it one leg up on the competition.
This has everything to do with strictly improving the performance of the Operating System and core functionality that all applications may benefit from by the fact they are written for OS X. There isn't a Core Graphics for third parties and a Core Graphics for in-house. Get real folks.
The Market Landscape is wide-open. Apple continues to develop and provide re-usable new Frameworks, specifically in Cocoa and Core Technologies for small to corporate development houses to leverage.
A culmination of desire, vision, creativity and technical knowledge of these Frameworks will allow one plenty of business case opportunities to become successful. Those that don't become successful either fail and one or more of these criteria and/or make poor business decisions that include partnerships and/or marketing.
Consumer's gauge new model cycles by past track records and rumor mills.
Enterprise markets gauge new model cycles by pre-announced future dates companies state will be the date these new models are released. This allows the Enterprise Markets to restructure budgets and better serve their stock investors and Wall Street.
Which Market has a greater upside for Apple?
Answer: Enterprise Market.
Now we also know that the Education Markets budget for August and buy most of their systems at that time whether it is K-12 or University. Even this market likes to have pre-determined timelines to make sure they have the funds available.
Presuming the next iMac is a G5 you can bet the Enterprise and University Markets will see much stronger than traditional demands for this new product. The Enterprise of course will look enormous because Apple's past track record has been crap, but in the past 3 years has made it clear that the Enterprise is the next big market for them to make waves. The Education Market will see a big jump because most schools have skipped many revisions in lieu of a G5 rumored to be coming down the channels.
Wall Street will be responsive and drive the stock up now that Apple is beginning to give them a forecast that they can meet, instead of springing on them results they had no idea would occur.
Once emotions are quelched and objective, rational contemplation sets in these people freaking about not getting new systems will relax because even in small to mid-size corporations the CFO likes to see target dates stated by vendors when they decide between which platform to sign off on and which one to pass on.
Before - "sudo tar xvzf" the downloaded file, run./firefox/firefox.
After - give root permission to access your X display, start the installer as root to install to a system-wide location, wait for the GUI to ask you some inane questions, like whether you want to install any of teh 0 optional components or not. Run/crazy/path/to/firefox/firefox
Hmm. I just apt-get install firefox or assuming I already have an older copy apt-get upgrade.
I suppose they should have spelled it out instead of leaving it up to the audience.
The list is for pre-existing graphics cards that OS X has supported that will be supported for Tiger. The highend by default is the nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL. That assumption I guess was missed by the audience.
They should have said:
"Core Imaging was built 100% for the most cutting edge GPU's, like the nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL, right out of the box. Current video cards with support include...."
For what? For writing some cool widgets that acess interfaces Apple published allowing for that functionality to be capitalized on by themselves and any one else?
You're acting like this Service is something that would take years of design/development to produce when these add-ons were sitting around Apple Engineering for years as fun experiments for core engineers. How do I know this? When I worked there they had plenty of 'cool' prototype ideas just waiting to be added into the OS. How do you think they are able to always add 150 new features with each new full version?
What's next? Pay everyone who contributed to the development of XML now that Apple is integrating it into their OS? That seems to be a bit more impressive, just like the new MPEG-4, Part 10 Codecs.
Get off your fucking asses and invest in advertising campaigns to help sell your business. Apple wants to be more than a niche player who mostly caters to an ecclectic audience.
As Apple enters the Enterprise Markets what better way to demonstrate, regionally, the power of such Enterprise Services, than to be able to augment existing Apple Sales Points and bring in new potential businesses.
Waiting and coordinating with hundreds of independent resellers to do this is a complete waste of time.
Personally, I'd be leveraging the fact that Apple has a local presence near my business, advertise that you are an Apple Certified Reseller and coordinate with Apple to help push inventories.
Spokane has too many cops, not enough. Cite statistics all you want the fact of the matter is the more restrictive law enforcement gets on the citizens of any community the more crime will spike, both due in part because laws change to introduce once legal activities and now illegal activities, and due in part to the fact people of a Free Nation don't like being controlled by a myriad of frivolous laws.
Blame Spokane City Council's trumping of any Spokane Mayor over the past 35 plus years as to how come Spokane missed the Internet boom and why traditional industry has slowly left, outside of the Medical Industry(old people are a hot commodity).
Write a critique of Mayor Jim West 18 months from now and see where the City stands.
I agree the city is 15 years late at acknowledging the days of being a haven for retirees with money are over and need to be over in order for the second largest city in Washington State to grow or die.
Born and raised in Spokane myself, also currently residing in Spokane, for the short-term.
Another reason for the massive expansion is WSU Branch Spokane is also about to pour in $300 Million to expand along 54 acres of land adjacent to downtown, that includes lots of new industry labratories, a nursing branch and room to support 5,000 more students.
Also Mayor Jim West is really pushing for Industry Growth and this article discusses the City property up for sale to get it into the hands of private sector.
The one proposal that is making waves is the long-discussed and pushed for Washington State University School of Medicine that they want located in Spokane.
I'm not a prude, and I don't advocate censorship of these things, I just wish the networks would *think* about this a bit more. I love sports. My kids love sports. But I can't let them watch them on TV until they get a bit older, cause of this. And that's cutting down on their audience.
What are you talking about? YOU GET FREE TELEVISION. This isn't a Movie you rent that says, "Brief Nudity, Mature Language..."
Be thankful you get Television in the first place and through Marketing/Advertising dollars you get to be entertained without costing you beyond the cost of a television set. When HDTV arrives and you become forced to either choose Satellite or Cable, then bitch about not having the right to descriminate. You'll still have no foundation since changing the channel still resides in your hands.
You are a prude when you can't fathom the natural phenomenon of human nudity as a normal part of human existence.
The top parent poster is right. People who bitch about the breast being exposed have deep seeded neuroses that go to the core of America's extreme Moral Minority who feel they know what is best and how to define the terms Liberty and Justice for All, Freedom for All.
Okay, I'll admit most people won't have heard about it, unless they were around in the days when WebObjects 2.0 and 3.x were changing the landscape for eCommerce, dynamic publishing, so on and so forth.
Apple should release WebObjects 6 in a choice of Java or Cocoa/ObjC and really show the world how powerful such an application server solution they have sitting and collecting dust can be.
WOF Java is fine but doesn't touch the Cocoa version.
PC is an acronym that stands for a wide variety of words like, Politically Correct. Depending on your profession the term will vary. Take a look at Mechanical Engineer for instance.
Right but how many stages would this thermal system require in order to extract out as much Heat in the Work equation? The schematic would not fit within the design constraints, hence the solution they have adopted.
I would suspect the rate of heat dissipation, dependent upon the liquid lattice structure in future solutions (i.e,. the choice of multiphase liquid) would be where they are able to improve the rates of heat dissipation and thus allow for high clock speeds.
does this wreak of Bill Gates (self-proclaimed computer scientist/architect since the famed days when he made a name for charging to use his code versus his colleagues who gave it away) jealous of Linus Torvalds for being more technically sound, literate and a better professional keynote speaker?
I mean Bill always could whip out the programming card against Steve Jobs, but of course knew when to keep his manhood in his pants by comparison to Steve's charisma, wit, naturally engaging public speaking abilities, and generally excellent tastes in all things aesthetic. So now comes a man who can be coined the UberGeek for the programming world, that even women will think is cool and I don't think William's ego can handle it.
Paying third party propaganda publications to write about the credentials and origins of Linux all in an attempt instead of producing an innovative product to keep ahead of the curve sure sounds like it can only come from one Institution.
Who here has seen the early 1980's gang movie titled, "Warriors?" If not the entire premise is about one gang shooting the appointed voice of all the gangs and then blaming it on the Warriors, in hopes to later lay claim and control of all the gangs. Bill reminds me of that runt with the beer bottles connected to the ends of his fingers, hunched over saying, "Warriors... Come out and playyyyaaaay."
SCO reminds me of the Baseball Team that goes running around in their "official outfits" thumping on weaker gangs until it gets its own bats used against itself.
Linus gets to play the role of the Warrior that gets blamed for all that is wrong within the code of gangs.
The Federal Government is exactly like the citizens of New York during this movie, ABSENT.
One of my direct managers, at NeXT Software Inc, was pregnant with I believe third child, was one hell of a developer/support consultant, in professional services, and at least at NeXT and then Apple both companies were quite respectful of families and definitely Lynn was highly valued for her skills and professionalism.
If companies are still asking for 12 hour days, 6 days a week they will soon no longer exist. Family should be more important and encouraged by companies who want to instill loyalty in its staff.
A pragmatic decision to keep the OS PC aware. Apple has to keep this OS multiplatform aware-never put all your eggs in one basket, especially if you are Apple.

So much for needing an INSTALLER.
Most people up on stocks knows that Merrill Lynch was predicting new iMac announcements at WWDC.
They don't announce them and like pouting children Wall Street responds by punishing the stock down nearly $1.25.
I personally think Steve loves to poke at them once in a while.I expect the iMac to be announced closer to August in time to hit a big splash with the Education sector once again.
