Your city has comp sci teachers in highschool? Wow. The only programming class my school offers is Visual Basic with a teacher who knows how to do "hello world" and add things with the standard library.
VPC comes with an OS. Connectix has already covered the cost of liscensing it, so Apple would just pay for VPC itself. Of course, VPC could choose not to include Windows in the versions it sends to Apple and then MS could rape Apple with outragous prices. But they wouldn't do that, would they?
Very good point. We all know that the PC world copies almost everything Apple does. Ask any Mac user about the first time they saw WinXP and they'll tell you they thought it was Mac OS X.
Serious Mac fans don't buy their computers for the looks, that's just icing on the cake. We buy Macs instead of PCs because we love the OS and/or we do professional graphics/DV work.
And exactly who is going to pay for and build a hydrogen station in every bumfuck town in the US? A town isnt' a town unless it has a gas station. Yuppies don't want to have to LOOK for a place to refill their SUVs, they expect to be able to do it anywhere anytime. If only the inner city has a place to fill up your new hydrogen-powered explorer, what's gonna happen to all the yuppies in the suberbs?
You're lucky to have actually recieved help. My cable company's DHCP server has the lease set to renew itself every thirty seconds. Boy, its fun lagging 5-10 seconds in the middle of a game while my router gets its new IP. Thankfully i can just setup a static IP and bypass all that DHCP BS.
I think the biggest problem with broadband is that most of the companies offering high-speed access don't know how to be real ISPs. They can hold a monopoly over the telephone or TV, but they can't do shit for customer service. At exactly 12:00PM EST my routing is switched so that my third hop goes from a Sprint router to some POS with no dns name - just an IP address. My ping jumps from 10 at my second hop to 500 at my third. At that point i start getting timeouts from my cable company's own "proxy server". Tech support's response? "It'll be fixed at the end of the week." A month later its still a problem. Joe Sixpack just figures his new $50/month cable internet is complete crap and goes back to his NetZero/AOL.

May a thousand fireants infest the underwear drawer of any moderator who does not know that.
Try USB Overdrive. I use it to customize the buttons on my Intellimouse and Boomslang, as well as several PC joysticks. The only thing i haven't seen it work with was a PC steering wheel + pedal setup.
The iMac was never meant for serious graphics/DV work. You can't expand it at all - the only iMac with expansion capabilities was the revision A which had a mezzanine slot. Multiple monitors are out of the question, as are those uber-fancy sound cards.
The iMac has always been and will always be meant for Joe and Jane sixpack's family.

New iMac Announced

Oh goodie, that means that when i go to MWNY i can sit through another Photoshop Bakeoff(tm).
Anyways, i think that MWNY is meant for the power users. Last year they announced the Quicksilver G4, but only upgraded the iMac line a little. Last year's SanFran saw the introduction of the Powerbook G4 (aka the best laptop ever) and the "new" iBook.
You never know with Apple rumors. Where's the iWalk? Or the G5? Sometimes the rumors sites come close - they predicted the cube, only it was a little different than they claimed - and they've even gotten a few things right, such as the optical mouse.

Care to elaborate on this? What rights don't i deserve to have, simply because i'm younger? I'll agree with the voting age (of course, i can name plenty of adults who don't know enough to make an intelligent choice in an election, but that's beside the point.), but what else don't i deserve, and why not?

Apple PDA?

The only problem with that logic is that Sony has their own line of PDAs, dubbed Clie (i don't know how to get the accent thing above the e, but there should be one). I have one on my desk right now.
I do like the 802.11b idea though. I'd kill for that on my Clie.
You can specify which network(s) you want to connect to at startup, and then connect/disconnect from the networks it supports individually whenever you want.
There's Telnet for my TI-83+. You need a null modem cable, and a *nix box to dial into, but you can do all kinds of neat stuff (pretty much whatever your desktop telnet is capable of). Hell, i think it even runs Pine.

I remember playing Playstation games in my Mac and stereo. The first track never worked because it was the data track (or so i was told). This could be a similar situation.

Well, seeing as how that Halo shot was released several months ago, I'm betting its a (crappy) photoshop job.

At least you didn't have to pay.

Are you talking about the same rumors pages that told us we had an Apple PDA coming? Or the ones that claimed we'd see a G5 today?

Well, seeing as how there is no plot, or real convincing acting, what other choice do they have?
