New iMac Announced
·
· Score: 1
The googoo gaagaa over the original iMac mystified me to no end. A few years back, AST released a 486 that was an all-in-one box, only, of course, it came in beige instead of f'aggy colored plastic...
Looks like you've never seen an SGI 1600SW. Even today this 4+ year old technology continues to outperform many new LCD flat panels. Unfortunately, they are now discontinued - good thing I picked up a few when you still could.
Intel needs new products coming all the time to stay in business. This is the exact same business model that Microsoft follows. In the near future, when the saturation of technology hits some level, you will see some truly stupid product ideas to get people to buy even more crap.
He who writes the most good things about Linux, gets immunity. First reward challenge winner will get a 'New Body Art - Wearable Wireless Device' butt plug with built-in, ah, view cam.:p
> Maybe this is why Linux is having trouble getting adopted by non-technical users. People want to be able to go and grab software and know with relative certainty that it will run without modification.
Well, forkin' duh!!! I shouldn't have to compile up the latest 2.f.u-wazoo version of the kernel, or whatever, to run software 3rd party software. How the fork do you expect software to be developed and released when the underlying OS keeps changing all the forkin' time? It's like when you drove to work in the morning, you would have to find how to get there because in the middle of the night the forkin' streets moved around.
> In reality, these ".com's" should have taken off the shelf hardware from CompUSA, fdisked the harddrive, popped in a floppy and FTP installed Linux or BSD. Once they realized that the load was more than the servers could handle then they could have thrown money at the big iron or betting yet, just add on more Linux/BSD servers and scaled up.
When the company I worked for did exactly this, I fought hard to start small and scale up. Nope, the 20-something snot-nosed V.P. Business Development blew a wad on clustered Suns at Qwest. Project didn't go anywhere and they where stuck with a 3 year contract to boot. Forkin' idiots.
I can't wait until these MBAs (Master Bullsh*t Artists) get into their 30's, 40's and 50's - when a good 'computer' tech will need to have biotech/chemistry backgrounds.:)
Slashdot Mirror
So, how long before Microsoft starts using that as the default background color of Windows?
May I suggest a Sony VAIO or PictureBook? You get a real display, a real keyboard, a real hard drive, real amounts of RAM in a compact form.
It's not April 1st yet, is it?
$$$$!!!

IMHO, XP stands for eXtreme Poop.

Who ripped it all off of Xerox PARC. At least get your history right, son. :)

Not "Footage", "Feetage"!
It took you people this long to notice????
Here we go again, yet another goofy idea that won't go anywhere.

Learn to spell, you geek. Try "Obscene" next time... :p
Real geeks have flat panels - no crispy fried numbnuts here.
Geek Wear! Or, how to look like an idiot in public, even more so than with spiked purple hair and a pierced nose.
I used to write video games in 6502 assembler.

Yeah, I know. Juvenile. :-p
Wot if there was a buffer overflow somewhere in the underlying implementation of the library and/or OS?
What is a "anna kournikova"?
But will you still be able to use fridge magnets on them?
That's because everyone thinks they are smarter and can do it better.
