Frankly, this was an *extremely* stupid move by Apple. What's the point?
Good relations with the RIAA. iTMS dies without the RIAA. Period, end of story. If Apple doesn't at least play by a basic set of rules, the RIAA will roll up and move to another service even more restrictive and iTMS dies.
So which would you rather? Having to remove a tag, or having no iTMS to begin with?
The G5 puts out a decent amount of it. And it's great that they could cram it into an XServe. But the Xserve is about an inch and a half thicker, and can have 3 very loud very fast fans running to cool it off (sorry, Xserves just aren't quiet). By contrast, people bitch and moan about the low hum that comes from their powerbooks when the fan kicks in. So while it may be possible to cram a g5 into a powerbook, it isn't possible to release a G5 powerbook until stylisticaly and operationaly it runs better than the current powerbooks.
Not going to happen. And for a reason. It's against apple philosophy.
When Steve jobs first came back to Apple they had a myriad of different computers with just about everything you could want, and some stuff you didn't. The problem was, you didn't know which one to buy. There were literaly too many choices, too much differentiation.
Steve came back and wipped the whole thing and said from now on, Apple was going to do things simple, and they would do it by redesigning the line into 4 groups. Entry desktop, entry laptop, pro desktop, pro laptop. And the 4 catagories were born. iBook, iMac, PowerMac, PowerBook. Originaly each one only had 3 options, fast faster and fastest (though that has since been uped to about 4 options) and the idea was that you could just go to the store, and buy exactly what you were looking for in teh range you were looking for it. More advanced users could customize them if they so chose.
The headless g5 mini would add a whole new catagory that would need a complimenting laptop line to go with it. Further more, it would further complicate the line, as now the line between low end / entry and high end / pro would become even more blury, which is exactly what Apple wants to avoid.
Provide choices, but make the distinctions between the choices clear. It's a hell of alot easier to explain the differenced between the i series and the power series than it is to explain the differences between say the dell dimensions
Legacy and maybe they're not switching the whole thing over? Power over the same cord to the monitor was a great idea, and it's a shame it never caught on.
Mac OS X dynamically adjusts the flow of the fluid and the speed of the fans based on temperature.
The dual 2.5GHz Power Mac G5 features an innovative liquid cooling system that's more efficient than a traditional heat sink. This system provides a continuous flow of thermally conductive fluid that transfers heat from the processors as they work harder. The heated fluid then flows through a radiant grille, where air passing over cooling fins returns the fluid to its original temperature.
Except that the PearPC project simply needs to emulate a G3 to get it working, and the G3 architecture has been roughly the same for the last 7 or 8 years
They do dissipate less power and run cooler. The idea is to make them run even cooler and quieter. With 6 dells in my office, the only thing I hear all day long are fans fans and more fans. And quite loud I might add. Contrast this to a setup of G5s (if you can't afford it, go stick your head between them in an apple store). There's a huge difference in noise level. You can't hear the G5s unless they're really working on something.
That's the idea here, to make them quieter. Something you could put in your living room and still have a decent conversation without shouting.
I wonder if there's any benifit to how the dialouge is worded. Many of the ones I see often say "If you trust this document to be certified click OK" or "If you're sure you want to do this, click OK" Essentialy it tells you to click OK. This dialouge asks you if you're sure you want to open an application and specificaly says that if you were not expecting this, to click cancel.
Not as far as I can see - you are purchasing something from someone who has a legal right to sell it.
And this is where you fail Law 101. They have a legal right to sell it (maybe) in russia. However, the same company that owns the music in russia does not own it in America and does not own it in the UK or Canada or Japan. Why do you think it took iTunes so long to get to these other countries? Because each country has it's own record labels and distributors whom you have to negotiate with.
A: Apple is the only manufacturer of Apple computers
B: Apple is a hardware company
If you get an Apple computer, you get an Apple OS. Microsoft does not make computers. There is no Microsoft Computer. If microsoft made a computer and bundled the crap out of it, that wouldn't be a problem. It's microsoft computer. However, I can go to the store and get a Dell, or and HP, or a whatever and they're all seperate machines that DON"T come from microsoft. All of them will have windows however, because in order for these companies to be competative, they have to sell Windows. As such, because of the nature of the market, windows has a monopoly on x86 computers, and a near monopoly on Personal Computers. Apple has no such thing. There is one Aple computer vendor, that is Apple themselves. They have no monopoly on the PPC market, and they have no monopoly on the PC market. They sell Apple computers, and Apple computers come with Apple software.
Except he's not guilty yet. What part of this don't you understand? He is not serving a 10 year sentence for this, nor has he been fined. hence HE IS NOT GUILTY. Guilt is not presumed, the law outlines the exceptions to itself. The prosecution MUST PROVE that this was for a peacful purpose.
You're not reading the law right. It's not a "reasonably justified peaceful purpose" it's that the possession is "reasonably justified" by it's "peaceful purpose". The prosecution must prove that it wasn't peacful. He is not guilty yet.
Except he's not guilty thats the thing. Look a law says you may not do X, and if you are suspected of doing X, you're arrested and charged with doing X and it's taken to a court. You are still INNOCENT despite the fact that you were arrested. While you are in court, you are still INNOCENT despite the fact that you are in court. You are INNOCENT until a jury declares you guilty. Period. It does not matter what the PATRIOT Act says except as the basis for your charge. Yes, he had a lab, with biological agents, removed from their natural setting. So yes, he is suspected of breaking the law. Hence the arrest and jury. HOWEVER, he is not guilty yet, and the PATRIOT act provides for uses of such labs for peacful purposes. That is why he is in trial. To decide if he broke the law or not. The prosecution has to prove that it was not for peacful purposes.
Er... he is innocent until proven guilty, that's why they're taking it to a jury. What is it about the whole court proccess that has people so confused?
If you read the article, you would think it doesn't matter as a bunch of Be's developers seem to be at apple now or worked at apple for some time after Be.
Slashdot Mirror
In theory couldn't you do it by duplicating the iTunes program and starting seperate instances in teh same account?

I'd say that's a really big stretch from this:

Doubtful, the writeup talks about being able to dynamicaly control the liquid flow. Doesn't sound like a heat pipe to me.
My guess would be the bit in the blurb where they talk about being able to dynamicaly control the liquid flow.
Because the first exploit found was on the front page, and I seem to remember a follow up or two being there too.
Upon removal of PA (but keeping APE) and a reboot:
the first does not execute and no dialouge is presented
The second does not execute, it mounts the server and brings up the dialouge.
The third does not execute but does launch teh help viewer
The forth does not execute but launches the terminal as per the thread in the replies above this one.
Also on the 4th, does it launch the terminal and attempt to access the disk or just launch the terminal?
On the second one, after the FTP loads, reload the page and see if it executes.
Well this one is odd to me. The update didn't appear to work. Trying the tests at the following link I get the following:
4 tests
The first one does not execute, but no dialouge is presented.
The second one executes.
The third does not execute, but does launch help viewer, no dialouge
The fourth does not mount or execute on the volume, but does launch a terminal trying to access the volume.
The only reason I can think of why this didn't take may be because I have PA installed but diabled, and it may be interfering with the patch.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I wonder if there's any benifit to how the dialouge is worded. Many of the ones I see often say "If you trust this document to be certified click OK" or "If you're sure you want to do this, click OK" Essentialy it tells you to click OK. This dialouge asks you if you're sure you want to open an application and specificaly says that if you were not expecting this, to click cancel.
Who knows, it might be a good experiment.

Do you see the difference yet?

To get the ones that aren't fanatical. The fanatics will still bitch if ogg gets added because Apple isn't true open source.

Apple also makes money on hardware sold. MS does not.

Out of the box, windows auto detects and supports all of my hardware.
Out of the box, I had to manualy cinfigure SuSE to use my network card.
Guess which one your average consumer is going to use?
