no I know intel does not either, but they do a bit more than make room for a support post on a microATX board and call it "engineering" its interior design
your spinning the wheel, let me know when you have an better awnser than "apple is flawless, but obviously you are incompetent for not wanting to rebuild an entire network over a service pack"
I btw am not our IT guy, and its not my problem, but leave it to apple to find some way to make something as software on disk a pain in the ass
they rent from other companies (hows that working for ya samgsung and motorola) and while yes they do have to do some designing they are not doing it from scratch, its much easier to re-arrange a laptop mobo to fit in your iMac than to develop one from scratch from the wire as suggested by the op
what for 4 computers? fuck that, if our IT guy cant get it off of amazon and stick it in a filing cabinet then it doesn't happen, or if your in a mac shop how much configuring do you need to do when 100 computers are all hammering the same resource at once trying to update
hm kill our internet for a couple days or piss off your IT guy by the company asking him to burn a dvd X times
seriously would it have hurt apple that fucking much to include a 50 cent dvd in a paper sleeve (which is what you get from those clowns 80% of the time anyway cause white paper looks elegant)
you cant be serious that you think apple is sitting down ignoring all the pre-designed material and making hand made wirewrap core 2 duo boards and nvidia geforces, they use the same reference designs as everybody else. I dont think they have actually sat down and designed much of anything in the pc side since the 68K machines outside of taking reference designs and fitting them into their crappy little apple cases
they don't have to do it with bungie, that one horse show already drove its only worth while franchise a mile underground (and yea mac fanboi's I have played their other games, they are 20 year old bland nothing that would have a footnote if they were not noted as being one of the 6 games released for mac in the mid 90's)
I dont care if you still enjoy it or not, that does not make it a fad or not. I still enjoy chia pets but its not making them "people going stupid nuts over them popular" like they were when new
there was a story not long ago talking about apple getting back up to 10% of the pc market, course that number was bullshitted up by the sales of Ipads
we cant even get past our own moon let alone another star, yes maybe one day star trek will happen but we have another 300 years so dont go holding your breath
and how is a small asteroid mining operation going to work, again we find it impressive to attach a storage shed to a LEO shed for 20 something billion dollars, not that impressive is it? so you stick all this shit on what amounts to mostly frozen water and gas and somehow get profit? nevermind the fact that we have a crap ton of raw materials still here on earth, stuff isnt the problem, its energy to turn it into something useful!
I have a 1976 ford gran torino, I can drive it on the interstate for long distances, its not safe at current interstate speeds, its shit on gas but fuck has it got a large trunk... problem is we never put that much into it
"but the company seems to be aware that quality, not quantity, is what can win over gamers."
No, no they don't and a great example of that is PSP, If you are handed one of these and have never used one, your going to be really fucking lucky to find a game that is quality and NOT shovelware shit ports of 10 year old PS2 games, or worse like one of the simpsons games which looks and plays worse than tomb raider on PS1
the PS2 was full of it too, there was endless bins of 9.99$ games that were not worth the plastic they were cased in, and you can start to see that with PS3, and speaking of which can someone name a got to have PS3 exclusive outside of "god of war"? They sell you unfinished pre beta computer games as the full experience, they fuck around with your property, try to constantly sell you the same thing over and over again, and they think that their shit is a golden blessing.
not being an asshole, but when chain store A is so overfucked with a coffee / stationary shop that they do not have room to keep a popular book its not a book store, its a coffee / stationary shop that happens to have a few books as well

is there really that big of a concern or is this just some essay for the sake of saying something and getting yet another "who?" name in a story
what do you really expect when you whore out every project to the (random) lowest bidder?
I use desktops.exe on XP you can download it from MS's website, instant 4 screens and I dont need to lug 10lbs
its a company that makes a series of web based games for people that are unable to install the sims or civ due to their stupidity
Galloping Gertie was a wind problem, it acted as a wing
