Apple Revises eMac

No iMovie,iDVD or GarageBand on the Dell is there? Those apps kick the crap out of comparible apps for Windows. Those are the apps I use a lot. I consider more than just cost when buying a machine.
The Rocky Mountain News reports that the Grateful Dead are "finalizing a deal" with Apple to put their entire collection of live performances available for purchase through the iTunes Music Store.
The Grateful Dead has a long history of allowing fans to make bootleg recordings of their concerts. Over the years, countless bootleg Dead concert recordings have made their way onto the Internet, available for download through peer-to-peer file sharing services and elsewhere. From Weir's perspective, getting the Dead's own recordings of their shows is a natural progression.
"What we wanna do is digitize our entire catalog, our entire collection of tapes... and make that stuff available," said Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir. "I think I-Tunes [sic] is up to that."
If Mac OS were available for x86, it would be a cute thing to do with your PC that only about 5 people would care about. X86 is popular because Windows is popular, not the other way around.
We will just have to disagree there. Companies such as HP or Dell could load it and sell it. Aside from OS X, Apple could make iLife (already do for one component - iTunes) for Windows sell it to PC vendors who in turn bundle it with windows. Apple is not without options to try, if hardware fails to keep them solvent. No guarantee of success, but they have options.
There will never be an x86 version of the Mac OS. Darwin, maybe. But full blown Mac OS, with Aqua and all that? Never.
Never say never. Apple could have it done already (and it is technologically possible to do), and locked away in a vault. Remember, NeXTSTEP ran on intel.
2.5 million copies of OS X at $129, that can run on Intel boxes is $322,500,000 in revenues. However unlike hardware, I expect the net profit margin for this type of software sale to be 50-60% or higher. At a 55% net profit margin on $322 million is 177,000,000 in profits. Apple should be able to exceed that sales figure in the huge Intel market.
Now add to this sales of unbundled software like iLife that can run on Mac OS X Intel.
This is Apple's wildcard.
Yes, Apple is a hradware company, but they are software too, and could change models.
Don't mean this as a flame, but airlines and autos are heavily union. Those unions oppose almost any business model fixes they see as a threat to their union power structure; companies go bankrupt and thousands of layoffs and the unions still won't agree to job saving changes. Even Soutwest is starting to feel union pressure to change the very ways, which made that company a success in a miserable industry.
IE is one the crappiest browser out there. So many other browsers are so far ahead, heck you only need tabbed browsing to achieve that status. Thank god, MSFT did not kill off browser competition. On my Mac it is all Camino (needs a panther tab update) and Safari.
Obviously you have done some sort of research where Linux/AMD is cheaper for Pixar than OS X/G5? Please share.
If Apple cut them a nice deal on the hardware, and the License fees are moderate to none then Pixar may have a pretty good deal on their hands.

Hey, if you think about it, Video Kareoke is "unofficially" done all the time.
Could be dangerous. Imagine green colored Mac Zealots running around, who can lift approximately 100 tons when calm and the madder they get, the stronger they get. Not to mention their incredible leaping/jumping Ability, and accelerated healing.
Nobody will pick on poor mac zealots again. "Puny non-mac users!"

Have you tried any FTP clients built for X11? Of course, if you know UNIX commands then the terminal app in OS X is a good place to work.

I think those are 3rd party enhancements. MSFT themselves has done a bad job of improving their browser.

Or they change their name to iPixar.

The real problem is the lack of a right mouse button in the CLI. Add that, and Windows users will feel right at home.
SCO is a puny little company (compared to IBM) with a 160 million Market cap. IBM could buy em' and fire em'. Story would end there.

There is a second mouse button - it is labeled "Ctrl".
Additionally, Apple has a whole lot more marketing muscle than Napster does.

I use Griffin iMic and a 1/4-inch to 1/8 adapter for my guitar chord - about $2 from radio shack. Works great.
His stats are right and include all government outlays. Your link explicity excludes some outlays (it even says so). Go here for the accurate breakdown generated from the source.
Of course, one cannot seriously talk about TCO unless one also talks about the fact that nobody got fired for buying Winblows.
