Based on each preview seen, the 2D in this movie appeared shoddy & poorly relaized next to its "dazzling" 3D effects (which were good, but diminished by the poorly realized 2D).
Besides that, I didn't see it for political reasons. The A.E. moniker reminded me too much of the "politically correct" transformation of A.D. time to A.C.E. (after common era)/B.C.E (before common era crap, hallmark of an unthinking Sociology department at your favorite university. Yes, you can call Java C#, but it's not. Use what the people use, don't change it (just in name), and you might deserve some respect.
Do not mistake vagueness for generality. People, on average, are living far longer. Though, death at 40 is much more common today than ever. I'll let you reason out the indiscrepency. Many interpretations can make both statements true without any internal inconsistencies. But that's okay. It doesn't really matter. Our industrial nation has a much higher cancer rate than pre-industrial societies around the globe. Would we need all these drugs were it not for new problems adjunct to modern life?
Food additives do cause cancer. This time, an example. One, but sufficient to validate the above "claim". Saccharin.
if it weren't for these companies we would be riding bicycles around and dying at age 40
Bicycle riding is quite healthy. You should try it some time. Death at 40 is much more common today than ever -- mass environmental pollution & reliance on synthetic food additives have increased early death from cancer. Just one example of your poor reasoning ability.
I hope our nation's new national surplus does not go up W Bush's nose.
Yes, that is a reference to junior's COCAINE use. Do you really think either candidate is qualified?
I use an airport card & airport base station -- aka wireless ethernet. It does EVERYTHING bluetooth is suppose to be able, does it now, does it correctly, & is relatively cheap. Why wait? Many companies, such as Farallon and 3Com make the cards (PC or PCI) & base stations. Get one today.
We don't need no stinking bluetooth. Especially since it's not ready yet.
By the way, if this is true, I'll want nothing more to do with Perl.
Why do you think your opinion of what Perl goes on to do matters? It doesn't.
I remain unconvinced by these set of arguments of Perl's future directions one way or the other. The posting of such unsubstantiated drivel reaks of yellow journalism and a healthy helping of sensationalism.
retroactive downgrade of the G3s to lock out G4 upgrades). Now the company is stuck with a processor design that has next to no R&D dollars behind it
Um, no (sorry, couldn't resist). G3's upgrade easily & the PowerPC chip has R&D without par. Did you forget the MultiProcessor announcement yesterday? Hmm, yes you did.
There is no retaliatory muster here. Apple did not announce a RADEON system BECAUSE RADEON's AREN'T SHIPPING IN QUANITY. Apple decided to avoid last years criticism of announcing product not yet ready to ship (the 500 MHz G4). Also, the revised motherboard with a 4X AGP isn't quite ready -- so why rush, when you won't be able to meet demand?
Any normal 2x AGP card WILL fit inside the CUBE, such as a 3Dfx VOODOO 5. The ATI Pro plays Quake III & Unreal Tournament quite well, thank you.

Who cares about bluetooth?
I use an airport card & airport base station -- aka wireless ethernet. It does EVERYTHING bluetooth is suppose to be able, does it now, does it correctly, & is relatively cheap. Why wait? Many companies, such as Farallon and 3Com make the cards (PC or PCI) & base stations. Get one today.

In an amusing turn of events, Simon has posted to this slashdot article and retracted his claim (as a knee-jerk reaction): #47.
--
Nope, I do not know simon. Who is he & why does what he says matter?
The newsworthiness Slashdot purports in the posting of this article cannot be established without answering both questions.

No, the Cube has a 2x AGP slot.

Please, don't feed the trolls. :-)
:-) Ha! Lol!

Yes, Apple is going to die.
