Hmmm, I was under the impression that the reason for the poor DDR implementation was because of the G4.
But I do agree this blaming Motorola game has gone far enough. Sure, Motorola sucks and blah blah blah but Apple hasn't really done anything to improve their situation since 1999. 4 years is a long time to sit on your ass and twidle your thumbs.
Yes, when you download the iTunes SDK as an Apple developer, you have to agree to a license that states what you can and cannot do with the SDK given to you.
One thing Apple has learnt is how to legally cover their butts and use the law to their advantage. They were burnt once too often in the past.
Hey, you may be right but the big difference between the two is that Apple hasn't broken the law.
Sure they are a corporation and they have the same intentions of profit like every other corporation, but their path to it, while not always favorable, has always been legal. They follow the same rules everyone else does. Thats why I think people will still try to defend Apple.
Sounds like a real high-end firm, using only one application. In the real world, people use more than just photoshop. It's nice to have a OS level colour management system that works. That is where Mac OS is still superior.
Seriously though, when I refered them as a hardware company I meant that they profit from their hardware. They write software to be able to sell the computers. They build computers to make money. They are first and foremost a hardware company.
Oh I get why this was modded as flamebait. Because the poster is comparing a PC to a Mac. Or is it because he read the article and is commenting on some of the errors in the way the comparison was handled.
To the moderator who gave this a flamebait, please AC an explaination as to why.
So, OSX for the x86 would be the ultimate solution? Apple needs to release it, they may be onto a money-spinner...
It would actually be pretty great for users if Apple did release Mac OS X for the x86. At least for a couple months, at which time Apple goes bankrupt because they are a hardware company. They just happen to be a hardware company with some of the best software out in the market.
2- Apple is the major (only) consumer of the PowerPC chip.
Your ignorance amazes me. There are numerous buyers of the PowerPC chip. Another poster mentioned some of them and I'll mention a couple more: Cisco, Nintendo (you've heard of the GameCube right) and Sony's next Playstation will have a PowerPC.
3- Apple-heads seem to be content with waiting for as long as it takes to get faster machines. As such, there's no significant pressure on Apple to improve immediately. They have people still quoting the Mhz myth and saying their G4 450 can kick a P4 3.04 (With rambus)'s ass.
Just because there are Mac users (or as you call them "Apple-heads") doesn't make them content with the current state of the PPC. But what this article doesn't really go into is why some people prefer the Mac over the PC in photography.
Ease of use, prefered applications and most importantly colour-management that is second to none. I don't care what these test prove, because if my image in the end comes out with different colours than it had to begin with the whole process would be for nothing.
Apple users are tired of laggin behind in speed, but what are the alternatives? Windows? Linux? Please.
Also, if IE was your default internet browser after installing Safari it is automatically changed to Safari. This doesn't happen if any other app is you default browser.

Society has drastically changed, true. But as a species and on evolutionary term we are the same animals. It takes tens of thousands of years for any drastic change to occur. And thats still just a maybe.
Well, I just d/led this and I can't say I'll too impressed. It's cpu-usage is just a little under iTunes (avg. 6% to iTunes avg. 9% on my MDD 867). The rendezvous thing I'm sure is cool, but I have no way of testing it out. It plays the same files iTunes does. And skinning is pointless because I prefer to use synergy for iTunes.
No offence to the author of this app, but I don't see why anyone is trying to charge people money for such an application ($12.50 USD in this case) for a replacement of an excellent tool Apple gives away for free.
Show one example of Intel pushing USB. Not one PC came with USB before Apple made it standard on the iMac.
Incorrect. I know that IBM's Aptivas (my buddy's Pentium 133 had two ports) shipped with USB onboard. Of course Microsoft didn't have drivers for USB until Windows 95 Second Edition.
Well, since I'm in the market for a new laptop I decided to compare both the iBook and the VAIO (its to replace a ThinkPad) and I must say you should go back and re-look at the iBook. For less than what Sony is selling the SRX99 ($1299 vs $1499) you can get a iBook with an 800Mhz G3 (as good if not better than the 850Mhz P3) 256MB RAM (Max 640MB RAM compared to Sony's max of 384MB) 10GB more HDD, a slightly larger screen at the same resolution and a better video card with more video memory (Radeon 7500 Mobility with 32MB).
Granted it is heavier and the battery is claimed to last longer on the VAIO but that is only because THERE IS NO DVD/CD-R in the machine. You have to carry it around seperately. That alone makes the iBook a better deal.
(and just so you know, the $999 iBook is 700Mhz, not 600 as you previously stated.)
If you are so determined to blast a country into little pieces I hope to you have a) signed up for the military and b) will be on the front lines getting shot at by a number of pissed of Iraqis.
If you feel that the war is worthwhile, you should then feel it is worth your life. Until then shut-up.
(If you are in the military and will be going over seas or already are, good for you, you poor, miserable pawn.)

There is a quantity you may posess (I can't recall, but heard it compared to a couple of packs of cigarettes worth) where it is not criminal

It is 30 grams, just over an ounce. About $200 CDN worth. Or 43 joints basically (if you go by

That's patently bullshit.

If he uses a gun, we do call it "gun crime" for some reason, but that's just silly: it's still a bank robbery
You mean its called armed robbery. And it is totally different than unarmed robbery. People can die.
