  2. Graphics chips and Apple on Apple Announces New iBooks · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When will Apple catch up to the rest of the world's notebooks using Radeon 9700 or 9800 and NVIDIA 5700 chips with at least 128 MB VRAM. Soon the Acer's of the world will be using PCI-Express for the GPU's where does Apple stand on this?

    "This is someone who knowingly aquired and distributed illegal goods."
    Hmmm, did you read the story. They paid money to use a what they thiought was a leagl service. Like I saw somewhere on this thread the service they used are the one's to blame here. It's simply ludicrous (sp?) to ask a 12 year old for anything more than $50.00.

  10. Re:Set up? on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Setup or not it is the RIAA's responsibility to research who they are suing befor doing so. Sorry a $300/hr lawyer better know what he/she is doing. What a bunch of clowns. Could be that the next round of virus/worms aimed at their servers.

  11. Re:Is Microsoft really the problem? on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    MS does NOT make the best anything. MS makes sure that theirs is the only AVAILABLE product, certainly the only widely KNOWN product. This is the whole problem. It does not compete through better products, it strangles the marketplace or bullies it into submission. When advertsing is too expensive for the small guy then only MS can afford to advertise. A good example is in the Simpsone episode where Gates agrees to buy Homer's business then proceeds to smash it up without paying anything. Alex

  12. "No one has ever held a gun to my head" on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "No one has ever held a gun to my head over my choice of OS or PC in anyway, not MS not anyone."

    I continue to see this arguement, yet the vast majority of developers/software houses still relase products that are for Windows only. Why is this? "Because MS OSs are superior" is not a proper arguement for this. OEMs, and VARs continue to be forced into selling MS OSs only due to draconian contracts with MS. It seems to me that MS is as much a monopoly as AT&T was prior to it's bell breakup.

    This is a prime example where gossip and heresay is listened to more than the facts. I say that someone who was recording 30 years ago is more credible than the neighbor who read someting on some news group or BBS. This artist has had a chance to see the changes that have/have not taken place and has some idea of what affect file sharing really has on artists.
