"How many video editors do you know who read slashdot?"
Well, I do. But only because I have to. If Digital Voodoo would fix their crappy Media Transfer software I could get back to getting work done instead of pissing around in FCP.
if you look at the Palm pda market, what do you see? All the new models from Palm and Sony released in 2003 - who both used to use Moto CPUs - have been powered by non-Moto chips with the exception of Sony's SL-J33.
So that's the G4 market disappearing AND the Dragonball market contracting - I wouldn't be at all surprised if Moto was getting assfucked in the router market, too.
Motorola hasn't been in the business of making MONEY, though they've become expert in the business of losing loads of engineering talent to their competitors.
And how well is Motorola doing in the much-vaunted embedded market now? Well, I've got a Palm Tungsten T here that's running on a Ti OMAP for a start...
Perfect example - Apple buys ALL of it's G3s from IBM. Why? IBM's are faster and cheaper. Apple would buy them from moto if Moto's were any good. Apple is only squeezing life out of the G4 in the way that it is because motorola have catastrophically failed to deliver on the roadmap that they set out at the introduction of the G4. The fact that IBM have the G3 on a.13 process with 512KB of L2 and a DDR FSB while Moto have the "higher end" G4 on a.18 process with 256KB of L2 and an SDR FSB just about says it all. Altivec is EASILY the most powerful SIMD unit on the commodity CPU table at the moment, but it's Motorola's total failure to scale clock speed in the way that they promised that's been holding back the integer and FP performance of the Mac platform for the last few years.
"By over 50% did you mean the "angry, overly defensive, self-absorbed, deluded, creative professional market?""
No, I meant what I wrote, the Apple Macintosh market.
"It's how the christians believe that there came to be multiple languages."
I don't think that a Christian neccessarily believes that crap - a Christian needs believe nothing more than that Christ's approach to living is something that they want to strive to emulate, all else is mumbo-jumbo of the worst sort.
"All the time of course, oil consumption is rising"
Now I know it's not true to blame ALL of this on Americans driving SUVs - but what the HELL is the US govt. doing allowing the average fuel consumption of their road traffic vehicles to actually INCREASE over time? I realise that the oil companies are a powerful lobby indeed, but how fucking stupid are these people?
Personally, I'm not really worried about the oil running out - Diesel fuel is probably the most important fuel of all, and we all know that you can run Diesel engines on all sorts of crap like vegetable oil and so on. More worrying (for the UK) is the insane "dash for gas" that's occured here since electricty production was privatised, we are increasingly relying on a resource that's running out, while neglecting investments in coal, nuclear and - most worryingly - wind and wave power. Sometimes I wonder if politicians can even IMAGINE times further distant than the next election.
So IBM is fabbing the Opteron? Is the Athlon 64 going to be fabbed by AMD themselves in Germany and Singapore then? Which fab is IBM making the Opteron in?
Slashdot Mirror
Oooh! We have got some wanker moderators today. Maybe THEY know why Apple are charging SO FUCKING MUCH for the FCP and DVD SP upgrades.
Or, more likely, they know fuck all about anything.
"First of all they're now throwing in Cinema Tools for free"
Great, but why is the upgrade price so fucking high?
Flamebait?
I troll early and I troll often, but not this time.

Irrelevant. How many Coldfire or 68K or who-knows-what else Motorola makes has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.
According to me, Apple has OVER 50% of the Apple Macintosh market. Or did you have another market in mind?
what if the question is "what is X * P ?"
My intuitive sense of spelling says that you're definitely an idiot.
"The iTMS doesn't use a standard encoding format"
Eh? AAC is documented and licenseable - by standard do you in fact mean 'open' or 'free'?
"Also, how do you do illustrations in .txt?"
ASCII art, of course! Are you kidding me?
My goodness, what a load of nonsense.

I was joking, but thanks for the info.

hmmm...
Out of the 7 million G4s that Motorola have manufactured thus far, 5.5 million of them have been bought by Apple Computer.
YOU try to figure out who SHOULD be more important to them.
"And we'll carry on liking it because soon enough it will be all that's left."
:-]
Oh come on! You've still got the Yellowstone oil and the Yosemite oil and the Arctic and the Antarctic and Russia and...
As long as you're prepared to go after oil at ANY cost (like the US govt) there's plenty more out there...
"first of all, you're in England. You aren't a part of the EU."
Check out the big brain on Brad!
"But the 970 will almost certainly be more expensive than the G4 at its introduction and possibly for some time afterward."
Rumour mills are reporting that the 970 will, in fact, be 25-30% cheaper than the G4.
you might want to address that stupid comment to everyone who carries a cellphone, too
keyboard, surely?
the '80s are still here with Rumsfeld and Cheney in the fucking driving seat
the Sun you fucking prick
