I think that this is a good thing for most users, it looks like jobs created a one button mouse that simulates a multibuttomn mouse for the club handed users. personally i have to use a trackball because i work with 3d and animation myselfe.
Naked fiday for all the women under 30 and less that 130lbs, coffee with rum and ecstacy, and i want to see a deathmatch between two PHB's. hey if the patent workers can get it why cant we.
Who needs a keyboard you vi types are sooo week, touch typeing hey, i once had to use my blood drops to program a trs 80.
Come on, all of the posters saying that this keyboard is useles, are useless people. only a moron would not be able to see the extreem value of this keyboard. i cant tell you how many times i have found myself refrencing a book for the speacial function keys of lightwave, or motion, or final cut pro, and flash. and i cant tell you how many times i have wished for this exact thing. if you are a programmer that only works in vi i can see why you may not think this is a usefull thing, but anybody who has to use multiple complex applications will see this as a godsend.
I would pay any amount of money for something like this. i do 3D motion graphics and video work, a keyboard like this is something i have been dreamin about. the only problem is what do you do about the residue buildup that happens on all keyboards.
The problem is that i dont have the reasorces to build a thing like this, if i did i would love to, do any slashdotters know a good place to buy wind turbine kit.
the real problem is not the BSA, the problem is you. yea you stearing at your computer right now. how many times has/. bragged about taking down websites. as long as nobody stands up to the BSA they are going too keep extorting you. that is the problem the BSA has no checks or balances they simply do what they want. if/. were to mobilise, fight back in the courts and at congress the BSA could be sent packing. untill/. organizes and destroys the BSA you have no right to complain or quip about their action. " people who give up their freedom for secutity deserve neither"
OK moron, I just build a 53 node Xserve HPC cluster, "try that with your windblows" I support 150 Scientist in a reserch institute, we use macs because they can actually do things. I have a computer here in my office that dates back to 1980, big woop and by the way my nubers arent made up. when i worked in a mixed computer depertment.5 macs.5 pc's i spent 90% of my time repairing the pc's and 10% of my time working on macs. and no a pc and mac are not the same thing, try running mpi on a pc (oh im sorry you can do that) "Ok! There are many things a PC can do that your Mac can never do! I won't mention any of them because what is the point! I like to use exclaimations and boast loudly in broken English! PCs are better Macs sucksor! lol!" name one thing a pc can do that a mac cant do, and i will name 10 that a mac can do that a pc cant. at this point im pretty sure that you are a troll and more that likely you are a 14 year old gammer with no real world experiance. otherwise you wouldnt be a coward and publish your name and links to your work.
1) i manage a whole department of macs, the TCO is 1/2 what vanila PC's are 2) My department has never had a problem in finding the right software to do the job. most of those companies who dont support macs have crappy products to begin with. 3) i repair macs all the time, inside their the same as x86 PC's if you can repair a mca than you cant repair a PC 4) the Average PC lasts 3 years before it is too slow and wont run fast enough, the average mac gets 5 yrears of service life. in the long run this means a mac is cheaper than a pc because 2pc's = 1mac over the livetime of a company. as for the fact that you can buy 2 pc's for the price of 1 mac all i have to say is ( you get what you pay for idiot) 5) one person can manage a Mac department where it would take 2 people to manage a pc depertment. 6) "Useability - Ever use a PC then try using a MAC. It's much more difficult and not as agile. " WTF, what planet sis you come from. you are either a troll or a total fucking idiot. i can do more things on my mac than i could ever do on a PC, there are many things a mac can do that a PC can never do, in reality its the other way around MACs are more agile than pc's. In reality i probably shouldnt respond to this post because you are an MS shill and a troll but i couldnt let you idiocy and disinformation stand unanswered.
All hackers and virus makers are subject to summary execution. i would send this person the two hundred dollars and use the records to track him down and then i would use a baseball bat to perform anal rape on him his famaly and any freinds that he has, after wich i would execute him, then i would sell the video on the internet to recoup the 200$ and mabe even make a profit.
IBM has traditionally been stellar in R&D and horrible in implementation. as far as my information has been IBM is tapped out and at max capacity as far as chip production. intel could probably produce twice as many p970's at half the costs of IBM and still pay a licensing fee to Motorola,IBM and make a pretty profit. I would see the most likely case scenario being wintel being ported to PPC over the next 5 years and x86 dying out (thank god) i would see this as the death knell for x86 not ppc because p970 is far superior (engineering, performance and capability wise) than x86 can or will ever be. also it would be much easier to port wintel to ppc than os x to ppc. ( does anyone remember the hal)
Apple has designed their systems so that you dont have to worry about viruses and spyware or adware. while on the other hand MS prcticlly make deals with spyware and adware companies. do you want you cell phone to be riddled with adware spyware and popups., where your trying to call mom and before you press dial 100 popups com on the screan for mom related products. or your trying to download a song and 50 popups for other products show up. i recently watched an MS user puting up with these things and i was horrified at the idea that he had accepted this as the cost of using a computer, i pointed out that i never get pupups or adware, spyware, viruses, or BSOD's and i can use office and all of the other mainline produc tivity software. i think he will be buying a mac soon. i dont care if macs are cool i use a mac because it lets me do what i want to do the way i want to do it when i want to do it. the ipod worls the same way. MS on the otherhand believes that everyone should do things the way MS wants them to do it, this is why an MS bassed cell phone will never take off.

I know that i am probably throwing myselfe to the lions. but what about PETA, vegans Feminatzies and the like, how many politically correct liberals have banned or stopped something because they thought it was offensive, i guess its ok when they do it but when cristians try to ban something thats offensive to them its a horrible travesty of those religios zealots. i think that this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I believe in the bible it specifically states that cristians are not sopose to ban knowlege, or that we can condem or judge anyone else. i will be breking that rule when i say that these people are not cristians, Remember that professor that said that all of the people who died in 911 were little eickmans. did/. rally around this and say that all professors and scientist are like this and he is a primary example of academia, no we recognised him for what he was, a loony with a peice of paper from some institution. cristians are humans too and there are loony critians also. my wife is a critian and i have become one with her. i am reading the bible and studying cristianity. i used to believe that all cristians were gay bashing anti abortionists. but as i study christiany i find that the tru premise of it is loving and helping your fellow man. at one time i lived in a bhudist monastery and i was in the process of becomming ordained. i do not take religion lightly and i see the true power in it. but as i study cristianity i learn more and more it is about becoming that which god wants us to become, people who truely love and care for each other and people who want to do the right thing. anyone who judges another violates a primary cristian tennant. as a cristian i dont think that it is neccesary to force my beliefs on other people. I know from the people i have met that this is how many cristians are. please do not judge all of cristianity by a few nut jobs.
I think that the rating system for/. sucks, we need moderator point like, "you are such a fucking idiot please cut your balls off and kill yourselfe before you accidentally procreate". or better yet " the problem is not with company XYZ the problem is that you are an idiot with no personal skills and you have a unuiqe knack of pissing people off soo much that they actually go out of their way to fuck with you" . and finally " you are living proof that there are a small percentage of compleat idiots in the world that will buy a horrible and worthless product if you think it will make you look original and different." to the/. editors please institute these forms of moderator points so that we can correctly judge posts from other/.'ers
Please do not ever buy an apple computer, they are not gamming CPU's they are computer CPU's. i know in your small uneducated world a CPU is only meant for gamming but in the real world high end computers are actually used for ( perish the thought) work if you want a gamming machine, get an amd, if you want an audio video scientific workstation get a G5
NASA is a dinosaur, let it die., they cant do anything right and every thing they do costs 100 times more than it would in the private sector. why not get rid of nasa entirely, and simply say, i need x payloads delivered into z orbits with y% safety factor. the cheapest company to bid for it gets the contract, and at that point shoot any government employee that tries to interfere with private enterprise. if we operated in this manor we would colonize the moon by 2010
I was about to purchase one until i looked at the bus specs. i love powerbooks im writing this on one now. but you could have a 1thz processor and still have a slow computer. when i do spend the money i want a PB with at least a 500Mhz bus, that would really allow you to use the computer and the graphics card. otherwize you are stuck with a slow computer no matter how you slice it.
I always thought it was just a roumor or a myth but i now understand that windows users are sub inteligent creatures, i am writing this on a powerbook with a one button trackpad and i have no problems using my computer, i would like to say that i am an advanced computer user and to those that would question it i can sent you a pic of the super computer i am building ( oh right you cant do that with windows) i get allong fine with a 1 button mouse, although at work i use a logitec trackball wit three buttons and a scroll wheel ( it works great with a mac also ) an earlier article mentioned how they fit a PC into a mini mac although on closer inspection it was so inferior to the mini that no reasonable person would use it. the fact is that windows is popular because of maketing and monopolistic tactics, it is the most inferior OS in the workd today and that says something about its users. so lets see here

Dear MS Troll Please go back to your brige under the freeway and shoot yourselfe with a bazooka. cut off you balls so there is no chance that you could ever even accidentally procreate. idiots like you are wasting valuable air that other things could actually use ( gestating maggots come to mind ). i have a real wife and i bought her an ibook she loves it and uses it all the time. she is compleatly confident with it and she has never had a virus spyware or needed me to fix it. originally she wanted a PC laptop but i lent her my PB for a week and she decided she wanted a MAC to. i intend to either buy or convince all the members of my family to buy one of these so that i dont have to put up with repair calls. also i showed my wife that in order to do all of the things that you can do on a mac you would have to pay about 400$ more you would have to essentially find a free pc to campare the two. the new mac mini comes with

there is no pc that can even come close to maching this deal. if you actually had a wife you would respect and honer her and get a mac. but please built this imaginary PC for your imaginary wife. and use it to get pr0n off the internet because that is the closest you will ever get to intimacy with a real woman.
