Thanks for taking so long with the 620. And for dragging your feet with the 603 . Oh - and the higher frequency G4s? Thanks for taking so long with that.
So like you will $60 + month $40 for data $20 + for voice.
And those prices will be exactly the same in June because you can see the future.
Seriously - they'll be able to sell data in volume now. Price will drop or be bundled with voice.
This device makes data compelling for everyone else - not just Johnny Businessman. It is what the phone companies built the data networks for in the first place.
No kidding. What's the problem with using a Mac running Parallels? You can install and use all three major OSs (and various flavors of each) running at native speed without undue hackery.
.... This advice seems sound, the reality is that EVERYTHING is exploitable. OSX for example hasn't got a lot of exploits, but you can be assured that they are coming.
You know, I've been hearing this for five years now.
First it was because no one was using OSX. Then it was because the learning curve was too steep.
You know what I think? I think Windows is a pile of shite. An insecure by design, hard-to-update (look at Vista - that took five years???), inconsistent piece of crap.And OS X, while imperfect, is a lot tougher nut to crack.
When our local ( at least six months ago; Blossom Hill at Santa Theresa) Albertson's started showing check-out ads interspersed with NBC and FoodTV television blurbs, I made a point of mentioning to the cashier and/or other customers during each check out that I found the practice distracting and stressful.
Eventually, I started going out of my way to the Safeway on Almaden.
The point of all this is that I am sure, should this rumor turn out ot be true, that it will have something to do with targetted ads. I am also confident, that given their history of uncluttering the user interface, Apple will make this feature either optional, or as unobtrusive as Google's AdWords, which I find helpful often, but annoying never.
Another lack of the difference between Apple and Microsoft.
If true (and I stress "if true", since it's 1. from appleinsider and 2. a breathless rumors appearing days before MacWorld), this shows some real imagination. A product from Microsoft with the same features would be Microsoft from end-to-end, locking out potential partners or subsuming them well before the product became useful.
I hope that this feature will be implemented in the typically benign-if-a-little-restrictive style of most of Apple's consumer-focussed products.
Why is it that McD's now warns you that their coffee is hot?
Because 185 degrees really is too fucking hot for a cuppa. Coffee comes out of a typical home cofeemaker at about 130-140 degrees - the mcDonald's case in question concerned the corporate practice of keeping coffee at 185 degrees.
Read about the case here, and try tuning out the "trial lawyers are evil" gang for a change.
Since the 9/11 attacks more than 650,000 Iraqis have been killed by a dry drunk, who has been causing a 9/11 death toll every couple of weeks since about late 2001.
So what if I want to move my own vehicle on my own property?
Actually, in most states, yes.
I met a fellow in 2001 who was arrested while "sleeping it off" behind the wheel. The engine was off. Keys in the glovebox. Arrested and booked on DUI charges in Santa Cruz county. Pled to a "wet reckless" - a lesser charge that carries the same penalties as a DUI, but isn't listed as a conviction for Driving Under the Influence.
Drunk people shouldn't drive, but this county has gone a little off the deep end with law enforcement.
Please refer to that company by its full name. It's Fry's "Does Anyone Speak English here and have a clue where anything is?" Electronics.
I think your expectations are a bit high there.
The trick is to visit one Fry's often, figure out where everything is, and return there when you need more stuff.
Staying on topic, I miss the old "circuits" Sunnyvale store. I try telling people here in Baton Rouge about Fry's (especially the Palo Alto store) and they don't get it. I get puzzled looks as people try to imagine Best Buy with a western motif.
Maybe Adobe's figuring out that the Mac is still a market to be reckoned with...or maybe someone at the VP level grabbed the Premiere product manager and showed him that all his Windows customers were buying Macs to run Final Cut Pro. There are a lot of Dual-G5 owners out here who love FCP, but want Apple to have real compettion - and we're not above trying new tools and adopting them if they are better.
Hopefully Apple comes out with a decent document authoring tool (not layout; they're different) like Pages on 'roids. Given Frame's anemic sales and upgrade business, maybe they can steal another market and prod Adobe into becoming competitive again.
We know what happened to the PPC port (it was finished by Apple), we know what happened to the x86 port (it was secretly maintained by Apple).
Having worked there during the mid-to-late 90s, I would characterize the effort more as "overhauling NeXTSTEP into Mac OS X and maintaining an x86 build".
It was a matter of weeks after the acquisition was finalized before NeXT engineers had a PPC build running - minus a lot of support for Apple's ASICs. At the time, Apple's machines were pretty heavily specilaized, with custom ASICS for video (powerbooks), I/O, and specialized interfaces (ADB); other than supporting these chips and their bugs, there wasn't much to finish.;-|
I remember trying to NetBoot a Workgroup Server 700 (2x200MHz 604) with Rhapsody in late 1997. At that point, it had been up and running and demonstrated on campus several times throughout the summer. I never did get that to work because the Rhapsody team did not support the C&T video chip the NWS hardware used. Too bad, because those machines were extremely capable hardware.
The x86 builds were maintained on control hardware as a matter of course throughout the Rhapsody, Mac OS X Server and Mac OS X days. Most Mac OS X development was done on PCs pre-2000 IIRC. I don't see the point in keeping it going on SPARC, but given the rumors about Apple and Sun during this time, I wouldn't have been surprised it was working on those boxes too.

780p.
I'm going to wait for v.2
I'm sure PortalPlayer is happy they decided to focus on the burgeoning "Microsoft-only laptop data display" market.
You can bet this thing isn't running OS X on anything from Portal. I'm guessing Intel's latest and greatest multipurpose low-power chipset.
Not anounced in the keynote, but Apple is shipping a mini/tv form-factor 802.11n hub. Appletv will have 802.11n.
Dear Motorola:
Thanks for taking so long with the 620. And for dragging your feet with the 603 . Oh - and the higher frequency G4s? Thanks for taking so long with that.
Hope your margins are more than RAZR thin!

CE-What?
"And in other news, flights from Las Vegas to San Francisco immediately sold out today..."
Nice. On the same day Apple announces appletv and iTunes-style playback of HD-quality movies through a wireless tv/media hub.
I knew that someday Windows would collapse under it's own weight - I just didn't think it would be this soon.
Competitive pay, gourmet food, good location, great benefits. Where's the fruit company?

If you don't like it, don't buy a car with it. That's the beauty of the free market.
Yeah! Just like airbags!
In 1984, only Mercedes Benz and BMW models offered airbags. By 2004, they'd been mandated on all cars for years.
In many states, isopropyl or methyl alcohol is just as illegal to have in your blood as ethyl.
And strangely, far more lethal.
Try tossing back a bottle of rubbing alcohol. See why there's no law on the books against it? Actually, you won't be able to see.
Phones account for 1,032 fatalities a year [nwsource.com], or 0.3% of all fatal crashes.
So, there's a Cellphonalyzer test these days?

What about Baton Rouge, Louisiana?! It has LSU!!! Because I live here or went to school here, it MUST be in this list!
And they have a supercomputer named after a tiger!!! And refineries!!! And no DSL!!!
Never mind...
Yes, and Framemaker next, please.

Dude. Stop posting. You are digging faster that George Bush.
