  1. What Apple really needs on Speculation About An Apple Tablet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    An entry level Imac at around 500$ (sans montor)
    If apple had an entry level Imac at 500.00$ and marketed them at costco staples and walmart. with a poster that says
    ( no spyware , no adware, no viruses, stable and easy to use)
    apple would take off. i know that apple isnt a comodity computer, but this would get the mindshare of the people. once thats done apple will launch into the big time.
    hell even if apple did this at a loss it would work out in the long run.
    the more people are exposed to apple the bigger the mindshare. and the more willing exceptance by corprate america.

OS software can easilly do what MS software requires an extra 20K to do. also O.S. has a higer degree of granularity. in essence. you couner argument may look good on the surface but it falls apart under investigation. but then again you probably think pintos are better cars than Mercedes Benzez

  14. Shortsighted and silly article. on How Microsoft Could Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    I hope that MS never ports office to Linux. that would be a disaster. i use office on a mac and its really crappy and unstable. I'm hopping that apple will resurrect apple-works and integrate a more comprehensive groupware server and client. or at least corel will bring back their office in the spirit of their original product. The problem is not that Linux needs an MS office the problem is that 90% of the people equate MS word with word processing. if a third format that is universal is used than it wouldn't matter what you use for your word processor. I would welcome a proprietary paid for product that has the functionality of office but runs great on Linux. our community needs to stop chasing MS's tail and start making software that makes MS chase our tail.

    If apple can successfully license the aac compression algorithm that they stand to make allot of money. it would also become a more viable alternative to MS audio compression. with the proceeds from licensing aac, there may be a little bit of a drop in ipod sales but most people buy ipod's based on aesthetics and the design. but in the end apples greatest failing is a business model partially based on fear. by locking down the market on hardware they loose the revenue from software licensing. with proper marketing aac and quicktime compression can become a consumer device standard.
