I remember seeing this video during high school computing, probably in around 1994 or 1995. I had my powerbook (145!) with me that day, and recorded the bit of steve saying "IBM wants it all and it's aiming its guns at its last rival, Apple". I found the disks with it on a few days ago, but alas, I am still an Apple geek and now I don't have a floppy drive:)
I hope it doesn't. Hasn't he heard blind people use the Internet?
Also, you want me to run some javascript inside my web browser and read a paragraph of text? I think I'll just not correspond with you thank you very much.
It is never one entire pixel that dies, it is subpixels, of which there are 3 per normal pixel (R-G-B). If one of your subpixels dies, you still have 66% of the pixel, which rounded up would be 1 pixel.
While your country's dead technological development is worrying, I'd be more scared that "strong moral values" is more important to voters than say, competant economic management skills or a foreign policy which isn't "kill anyone who disagrees with us".
I'm pretty sure you're not a troll, but I'll respond anyway.. They're not trying to gain any ground against Linux with Solaris 9, they're trying to do it with Solaris 10, a very different beast. Yes, they have a long way to go, but not for the reasons you've talked about.
Their OS is like Apple's.. it is used to sell hardware, and they have some mighty fine hardware too (I maintain the x86 version is secretly just there to sell Sun's x86-64 hardware and ween people onto Solaris so they buy the high end sparc stuff too...)
No company spending millions of dollars on a high end server is going to give a flying crap about what browser the OS comes with.
Yes, I think you'll find the huge delay between announcement of the 60GB drives and the introduction of the 60GB iPod photo was a penalty from Apple - they'ld probably arranged to buy 100,000 drives or something initially, with the expectation of buying another 10,000 a week or something and an agreement to not sell the drives to anyone else for 12 months. 6 months of not buying those drives while having an exclusive sales agreement would HURT the vendor.
Annoucing Apple will use your hardware before Apple announces it == bad. Just talk to Toshiba and ATi for references.
Whatever happened to the Unix/Linux principle of KISS, doing one thing and doing it well?
It becomes non applicable once you start talking about full GUI apps that you can't do IO redirection from.
I seriously can never understand how anyone can think using 3 or 4 different programs and ferreting through hundreds of directories and playlists to manage their music collection is better than iTunes. It's not just you, I've met a few people who seem to like doing things the fucking difficult way. iTunes - Import, manage, burn, play from one program - and it does it all well.
The AIO is the *wrong* solution for clustering. Even with the monitor off, it generates a lot more heat than say a PMG3 of the same era. But as a head-unit for a cluster, it wouldn't be too bad I guess.
Yes, because Airport Extreme doesn't work with Linux but Airport did, so everyone who DID use Linux on their ibooks and powerbooks now can't upgrade them and has been forced to move away from the Apple platform.
And once again, to the GGP post, it's not Apple or Broadcom's damn fault that Airport Extreme doesn't work with Linux. 802.11g radios are much more "dangerous" than 802.11b in terms of how they can be used and controlled by software. Very very few (if any?) 802.11g cards have open source drivers for any platforms. Everyone I know which 802.11g cards under Linux uses NDISwrapper and the DOS NDIS drivers to use them.
Though, see also slot-loading CRT iMacs of 2000.. Apple produced a CD-RW only version which in many cases was just a DVD-ROM/CD-RW flashed to nerf the DVD functionality;)
By lower price tag, you're really only talking $15, and loosing a lot of functionality. Apple uses these combo drives through all their portables, which means they wouldn't actually be any cheaper for apple, since most people get combos.
Also, like Longhorn, 10.4 will apparently require a DVD drive.
Amen to that.. I've upgraded the RAM on an eMac, as well as the hard drive on another one.. took the better part of an hour to get the thing apart and back together.

As long as they're not holding any banknotes...
Anyone with a trunk connection can announce whatever they want as the CID..

Just so ya know

In all seriousness, some pronounciation guides for those who don't speak Hindi or Gujarati would be handy ;)

EMC do storage. Usually attached to computers from Sun/IBM. Oracle would be what is stored on EMC disks.

And none of those have OSX drivers. So while PCI is undoubtably handy, this is not the computer for you :)

I met him in 2003. He was wearing socks.. with sandles. How peculiarly northern european ;)

I used to spend all day at work dealing with screwed up Windows boxes.

That's why I bought a mac for home

Doesn't sound like it :)
Apple uses Maxtor in their lower end Macs (and around the year 2000 used them in most of their product line).
I've replaced 5 faulty Maxtor hard drives out of recent Macs owned by friends. Ergo, imho, the drives suck and I don't want anything to do with them.

the number of PowerBook Linux users is so small
Yes, because Airport Extreme doesn't work with Linux but Airport did, so everyone who DID use Linux on their ibooks and powerbooks now can't upgrade them and has been forced to move away from the Apple platform.
Linux kernel hacker Rusty Russell used to have one of the most banged up Powerbooks I'd ever seen.

Since the 1ghz G4 iBook it's now 256MB soldered

In other words, don't be so shortsighted

Who -are- you?
For added difficulty points, I once did 2-16 in a tokyo youth hostel in some of the most humid conditions I've ever experienced ;)
