I think you've just described a user's worse nightmare.
An OS with security holes protected by a security tool that has security holes. So malware writers will attack the security holes of the security tool to attack the security holes in the OS.
You'll have to download updates to close the security holes in the security tool used to attack the security holes in the OS. Then you'll have to download updates for the security tool to close the security holes in the OS.
Steve Jobs will send out a signal, all the white iPod earbuds will activate, crawl into the listeners ears and take over their mind. Steve's getting old and his natural RDF isn't cutting it anymore.
That's why iPod earbuds are so uncomfortable. Even nanomachines in the white earbuds take up space. And you thought yesterday's iPod update was for volume control. It was really for control of volumes of people!
But I'm a bit worried that software developers might not develop native versions for OS X, if they assume people can just run their windows version virtually. Of course this mandates that the Mac user in question buy a copy of XP, so of course not everyone will have that option.
Most people have enough trouble installing one operating system by themselves. Expecting them to install a second thru virtualization is asking too much.
No developer is going to expect a large number of users to run their program in that method. You'd see tech support setting fire to the programmers before this would happen.
Was Britannica ever a big deal? I used it in elementary school and stopped once I got to junior high. In high school, our teachers specifically told use not to use encyclopedias for our papers. And this was in the 80s.
Try one of those retro game collections...I've had fun playing Dig Dug, & Pacman with a girlfriend. She wasn't a gamer either, but she did waste a bit of her youth trying out video games in arcades/bowling alleys.
She also ended up loving to play Bomberman once I showed it to her.
Also someone already mention Capcom Puzzle Fighter, but don't forget the other, similar games like Puzzle Bobble, Puyo Puyo. Most of these type games come with a handicapping option.
So why is article this under the Apple section? It's interesting the Apple's "Movie Store" is the one to beat considering that it doesn't yet have one open.
Amazon shows up enough on/. on its own merits without needing to tied into Apple.
Windows based DVRs tend to also use ActiveX for remote access/viewing. I have one Windows DVR that works very well at my building. It records for 20 cameras and has remote viewing.
But unless I'm at a Windows computer, I can't log into my DVR security remotely to see what's going on. About once or twice a year, I get a call from my security company because an alarm has gone off. I can't check on my building from the comfort of my bedroom and my Mac laptop. I have to head downstairs to the office, and boot my desktop PC.
These early benchmarks are primarily for Apple fans who want an excuse to buy a new Powerbook. And also those who are interested in gauging the Rosetta performance hit.
I'm sure future benchmarks will pit WinXP + app vs. Mac OS X + app.
Sure, IBM just came out with better chips. But if Apple didn't switch, it would probably be only the 4th largest customer for IBM in the next few years.
Apple would have had to wait in line behind Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. Xbox 360, PS3 and Revolution are all going to use IBM chips. These 3 systems will use the same chips for years. So once things are running, it'll be an easy job of IBM to supply them. Apple, in the meantime, will be constantly asking for faster and better chips from IBM.
If you were IBM, would you like to deal with 3 easy customers or one tough one?

This must be the wet dreams of virus writers.
... is that today's articles will be duped next week.

Ow...I think I brained my hurt.
Then when Microsoft is overloaded with attacks, the vendors should return with their new versions. They'll be greeted as saviors.

Screw this, I'm loading up tintin++.

Hmm..that's weird. I thought I maxed out all the options. Oh well, I'm not going to worry about a $200 price difference.
Think about the joke before you mod me down.

That way I can plan my budget and buy instant noddles in bulk.
Course, I know some fanboys who'd be willing to sign over a blank check to Sony Corp.

A few of their watches are nice though.

Find three normal mice and poke their eyes out.
Course, that fork would have to be pretty small.
You don't bet the fortunes of your company on performance on another company.
That's the general rule for Apple stock.
Right before any announcements Apple stock will go down.
If the announcement isn't impressive, the stock will go down.
If the announcement is impressive, the stock will go down even more.

#2 should be Vista WTF edition.
Haven't I paid enough in brain cells committing suicide?
Now they want money?
If this is the stuff that Cringely steals, I'd hate to see the ideas that he skips.
These writers seem to have access to some really heavy drugs and I'd like to buy some.
Or maybe Cringely and Dvorak are willing to share.
Personally, I'm happy with my computer on Win XP and I'm just going to wait until I buy or build a new system.
Or until after SP1....I do enough beta testing as it is.
