  1. Re:Suing by design on iMac Clone Gets Sued · · Score: 2

    Do you think Mercedes-Benz would sue Ford if they developed a sports car that looked exactly like the Mercedes-Benz SLK? Of course they would.

    If you read the article, Future Powers claims the egg design has "the most natural design to ensure the smallest footprint." This is not true at all. Gateway's Profile XL is flat-panel system that has a smaller footprint than the iMac and I am sure that other OEM have similiar flat-panel system as well.

    Not only will Future Powers machine have the iMac design, it will be sold in FIVE different colors, exactly the same FIVE colors as the iMac.

    I wonder if Future Powers machine has a round mouse too?

    Here's an article with a side-by-side photograph of the machines.

  2. this is stupid...selling HSX ports on eBay launches the era of Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    I play an online game, HSX, where the goal of the game is accumlate a virtual portfolio based on Hollywood stocks (eg. actors, directors, screenplays, etc.)

    Hearing from a friend who plays HSX as well, retiring players were selling their ports of eBay.
    What is the point of the playing the game if you BUY your championship?

    ranting on and on...

  3. Re:heh on Bid for Geeks? · · Score: 2

    Actually eBay removed their auction. I did a search for "engineers ISP" and had one hit that went to a generic Ebay web page.

  4. quicktime 4 streams on Apple Purchases Rights to MP3 Codec · · Score: 1

    i haven't fooled around much with quicktime 4 since it causes my computer to crash ( i love beta ). however my friend tells me it will stream qt4 audio with no problem. i am sure in the future, mpg3 will stream. will it stream in the final qt4 build?

  5. PII 400? Bah on Higher Res Prequel Trailer (and Quicktime 4) · · Score: 2

    I suspect Apple is also promoting their G3 300mhz
    system is just as fast or faster than a P2-400mhz.
    Perhaps MindCraft can publish benchmark test.
