Ahhh....but if you used a proper embedded operating system for an embedded device, you wouldn't be able to hire programmers who have completed a 6-week Visial Basic/.NET programming course at their local community college to write your business critical applications;-)
I still think #4 in the world is pretty damn impressive for Apple hardware! And it looks like there might be some small performance improvements to come.
I think everyone involved did a pretty damn good job! Have a beer on me.
- Worth mentioning that it's only the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) that's similar: "The Beer Store" is owned by the four large breweries.
- Also worth mentioning that the LCBO is the single largest purchases of alcoholic beverages on the planet.
- The LCBO will try and source ANY alcoholic beverage for you! Not only this, but their product specialists at head office really are alcoholic drink afficinados....I had reason to ask them about absinthe once and they wrote me back an entire history of absinthe and told me what products they had available and how they were different to 'real' absinthe.
So, the LCBO is pretty neat....I moved here from the UK and was stunned when I found out the province sold all the liquor;-)
Chips are virtually fabricated and tested well before the first bit of silicon is etched....you can actually be pretty sure of both a chips performance and reliability just from simulations these days. Also, having to etch development chips constantly is both expensive and time consuming....so the longer you can leave a design in virtual space, the better.

what?! 100 members? Did they do this research on the Clampetts or something!? ;-)

DATs and CD-Rs are already taxed here for the benefit of Canadian artists.
But if ISPs are taxed, I curious how you can then enforce laws claiming that the 'sharing' is illegal? Might become an interesting test case.

Apple may have had their ads pulled...but look at all the free media advertizing the story generated ;-)

...was that I've been awarded a patent on genetically modified tomato/tobacco plants and am now going to sue him and Fox!

(And if you knew anything about the US patent system, you'd know that prior art doesn't mean squat!).

The Xbox using Power architecture is so that Microsoft can side-swipe Apple by bringing WIndows to Apple desktop hardware ;-)

Linus left Transmeta and is now at OSDL!

I'd be more worried about the fact WiReD article talks about slapping these puppies all on a PCI bus... ;-)
-psy
Myke...
;-)
Are you questioning the PCI bus's ability to shovel enough data to these chips?
(For those who didn't read the WiReD article, the company mentions "PCI supercomputer" cards).

P.S: You still in Toronto?
Yup, valid points....

I'm lucky if I can get my VHDL for FPGA and CPLD designs working to start with, let alone create silicon I can't actually pseudo-fab
-psy
I was just explaining that it's not unusual to finish a design and even know it's performance before you fab a single piece of silicon.
;-)
I'm not justifying their claims

I was expecting to see a plane made of carbon nanotubes to achieve this...instead I see a plane that looks like the ones they sell at Toys'R'Us.

The latest firmware might well do NTSC, but you still gotta contend with SCART connectors and European-centric features! :-p
