That's pretty bold - Toast Titanium on the Mac is really pretty fantastic, and I've been using Toast 3.5.7 on another Mac for YEARS without a hiccough. Maybe Roxio's ware is fine, and it's your OS that's a POS?

You idiot. iDVD is in no way crippled, it encodes MPEG2 at full rate CBR with pcm audio, so that means 1 hour on a DVD5 disc. Do some fucking research before excreteing your worthless opinions next time, eh?
WHAT? The 8500 had dual G3s?? Don't be an arse, the 8500 ran a 601 - there was a version of the 9500 with a pair of 604s, but you don't care - you've never even used a Mac.
What a supreme dunce you must be. That desktop picture is called "Quantum Foam" and was designed by Me Company for Apple about 4 years ago. Get a fucking clue will ya?
I've never seen a journalist sign an NDA, but I've seen EMBARGOS attached to about HALF the press releases that my old newspaper used to get. Seriously, NDAs and embargoes rely on a little bit of TRUST, without which our entire society would collapse in about a week.
even a quad CPU Octane is feeble compared to the latest x86 and PPC chips when you're talking about raw number crunching. What the Octane has is BANDWIDTH, which makes it a great 3D or video workstation - take a look at the distributed.net client database for a look at where the various architectures are at now, you may be surprised at the astonishing speed of the G4 in RC5-64 or the sheer horsepower displayed by the Athlon in OGR.
why not just shell out $150 on an 1.33Ghz Athlon T'bird then? You'll get about 80% of the performance of the P4 in the article for about one sixth the cost. We got our 1900+ XP for less than 300...
and how would that fit in with going boldy where no PC has gone before? Anyway, I use both PC and Mac workstations, and even our fastest PC (1600Mhz AthlonXP) only canes our fastest Mac (867Mhz MPC 7450) by around 10% on the kind of work we do, the G4s higher IPC and gert big Altivec units really get the Mac moving when exploited properly. Mind you, doing general purpose stuff like looking at Flash anims on a website, the Athlon seems to play 'em about twice as fast - so if you aren't actually WORKING the PC is the platform of choice...
what the hell are you talking about? You admit you haven't seen AI, then proceed on to a critique. I loved AI, it's really a unique work structurally and emotionally. Visually wonderful, too. You cannot offer an opinion on a film you haven't seen you stupid stupid idiot.
I don't doubt the Eurofighter's talents (it's my tax paying for the bastard too, so VFM IS important to me), but how do it's capabilities exceed those of the latest F-18? I'm also of the impression that the Typhoon's RADAR is a generation behind that employed in the latest US designs. Sad, look where we (UK) were at the introduction of TSR-2, Harrier, Concorde... and look where we are now.

yeah, they'll NEVER learn how to sell a product for less than it costs them to make it. Which is probably why Apple Computer is still profitable while IBM lost $1Bn on desktop computers last year and Gateway retreated back to the USA. In many ways, Apple just paved the way for the iPaq with the Newton (and how much do THEY cost?). Shame, but the Newton had to go if Apple were to survive - that kind of tough decision is EXACTLY what CEOs are there to take.

no, I totally disagree with you. The MORE amateurish the picture looks, they more likely it is to be real. Grab an APS compact camera, point it roughly at your subject and bang off a few shots - you'll get flash-overexposed, deeply shadowed, badly composed shots JUST like the G4 redesign pics were. Don't forget that when OSX.org was running the G4 pics, SpyMac ran their idiotic iWalk pics. OSX.org got a cease & desist - Spymac didn't. Guess who turned out to have the goods...

you've obviously never shot an LCD in your life then - because they shoot just beautifully. The only real problem you face with LCDs is controlling Moire patterns. And WTF is an iMac X? If it's an iMac running OSX, then they do that already.

you should really try a Messagepad 2100 then - you can actually right perfectly normally on it while in the back of a cab on a bumpy street. My MP2100 also has 10 BT ethernet on a PC card. I doubt very much that Apple are about to resurrect the Newton, but the Newton itself was the most human oriented computing device since the digital watch.
you're wrong here - the most important assets in a modern fighter are the RADAR and the weapons systems. In both respects the US is way out in front, having taken the best RADAR talent from the UK in the 50's and developing it hugely ever since.
I don't really understand the question - didn't anyone notice how crap Return of the Jedi was? That Lucas then took the piss out of the world by tinkering with the trilogy for a cynical re-release didn't really surprise us much - that Episode 1 was so crap DID surprise me. If you just stick to watching Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back, you can still maintain the illusion that the franchise isn't completely awful. Shit, even the toys weren't all that great - my X-Wing and Falcon were built like crap - the only SW figures that survived my childhood were my R2D2 and my Gamorrean Guard. F**K OFF and die Mr Lucas.

Why would Mars sanction this? Do they have some kind of agreement with Siemens? And why do Siemens workers need so much chocolate and peanuts anyway?

In the article it says the iMac "will be released this week" - doesn't sound like a mistake to me.
