Can someone post some links to screenshots of Gnome on Solaris? I loved using Solaris in college, and would be very interested in seeing what they've done with their desktop and Gnome.
Unfortunately, the installation procedure isn't drag & drop. I pretty much expect that in any application I'd be willing to pay for. It could be done easily with Whamb as far as I can see. If they really want to store the skins in the ~/Library they should do that on first run. Personally, I think they should store them in the application package.
There are bigger and better things for them to crush (Java lawsuits with Sun being a good example), which is why they do paradoxical things like hand Apple a barrel of cash to stay afloat.
The measly $150 Million that Microsoft invested in non-voting shares of Apple was the result of a lawsuit settlement. All of the shares have since been sold.
If all of your contacts and appointments are your favorite it'll show those too. Apple is just illustrating that you can specify that it only synchronize a cross-section of your information.
The real problem with spam is that it steals bandwidth - blocking spam after it's already sitting in your mailbox is like closing the barn door after the horses have eaten your children - the bandwidth has already been used, so you don't gain anything... having your email client "block" spam isn't really blocking it, it's just an automatic "delete key".. which is what the spammers want (how many of them say spam isn't a problem because you can "just hit delete")
I'd argue that the time wasted on filtering spam is more valuable than the bandwidth wasted delivering it. This is why I am glad that Apple was able to bring good client-side spam filtering to the people with Mail and that Mozilla will soon provide this feature as well.
I have four computers on my home LAN. The Windows 2000 boxes are a Pentium 2 233 with 96MB RAM and a Pentium 3 600 with 384MB RAM. The two Macs are an iBook 600 with 384MB RAM and a PowerMac G3 450 with 512MB RAM.
In my opinion, both of my Macs are faster than the Windows boxes. I run only OS X. I don't even have Classic installed. Both platforms have the occasional hiccup where I'm waiting on the computer to do something. However, I get this more frequently on the Windows boxes than I do on the Macs. It's usually Explorer that I have to wait on in Windows -- including the Start Menu. On the Mac, it's probably manual window resizing most of the time. I rarely do this though, I generally use the zoom widget which is far superior to Window's maximize widget. Window dragging on the Mac is also faster than on Windows. Well, I guess they're both really the same speed, but Windows takes a while to refresh the screen where the window was and on the Macs that is not a problem.
None of my Macs are new enough to support Quartz Extreme -- my newest Mac was built in 1999. I'd see better performance on the new iBooks due simply to the fact that they have better video cards.
And getting people to switch from their Mac to Windows? Why even spend money on that effort? Windows machines may have been more difficult to use 15 years ago, but they've caught up... anyone who still thinks they are more difficult to use hasn't tried one.
They are easier to use. Try doing a drag & drop install or un-install on a Windows box for most of your software....and I'm a recent Windows defector. I was a MS OS user since MS-DOS and MS Word 2.0.
Oh, btw, I keep my Applications folder in my Dock which means I get a context-menu for launching applications just like the Windows Start Menu and it even speeds up my drag & drop installs because all I have to do is drop them on that folder in the Dock.
No, it's 100MB on.Mac for $99 per year. You also get 15MB of IMAP e-mail space, and you get two software products: Backup (to iDisk or CD-R) and Virex.

NetBeans runs pretty well.
Unless I am mistaken, the articles points out problems with Java on the Solaris platform. This has nothing to do with Windows.
You're behind the times.
You can get a legacy free PC from here.

What is up with everyone saying that the Matrix DVD rots? This is the first I've heard of it.
I definitely agree with you there.
The key is that the .Mac mirror of your Address Book will be available from Webmail. That will rule.

You have an insane view of social/political alliances.

Macs ship with an iTunes Sampler of music from popular artists. I think that Barenaked Ladies is one of the groups. I don't remember the rest.

Would you appreciate the word "stutter" more?

What the hell does QuickTime install other than the player?
This is 17". The PowerBook is 15.2".
Man, you're stupid. It's for Final Cut Pro's toolbar. Just like their other widescreen monitors.
It's intentionally taller than 16:9. It's so that people running Final Cut Pro on it have room for their toolbars in addition to a 16:9 image.

I don't see anything here indicating that they intended for the Xserve to be used for mission critical applications.
