I only put my computers on the floor if I have no other place for them. I've opened up PCs with dust bunnies the sixe of tennis balls in them. Computers should go on your desk unless you have a proper holder on the side of the desk off the floor. --
Recently in my town, an old woman got confused approaching a stop light and hit the gas instead of the brake. She went right through a convenience store and killed a cashier. --
Rumors say that there will be a pad similar to what laptops have for cursor movement, in place of the buttons. You can customize it in various ways... tapping it on the left would be like a left click... tapping it on the right.. well you know. Also, moving your finger up and down on the pad could scroll it also. And not just up and down - left and right too. As long as it is not totally round, I could really learn to love a mouse like this:
That may be true for particles with no mass, but I thought that as matter approaches the speed of light, it becomes infinitely massive. This would be a definite physical limit. --
NVRAM needs to have a power supply constantly to hold the charge. What do you think that battery in your computer is doing? (besides the clock) Also I believe NVRAM is one of the more expensive RAM technologies (less that RAMBUS though!;). Also I still think I can get those peak transfer rates;) --
I'm sure I can exceed 110MBps with an Adaptec 39160 SCSI card (64bit, dual channel) and 2 drives in a stripped RAID. For less than half of the price for the 8GB version. Using 2 18.2GB 15,000rpm Ultra3 SCSI drives too! --
there are alot of issues with DP4 that need to be address (particularly the Dock) but it's getting better and more Mac-like. there is even a utility out now that gives you back the MacOS Apple menu. Look here: classicmenu. --

IBM has the 440GP that includes a 500MHz powerPC core (no FPU), DDR memory controller, and PCI-X bridge all in one chip.

Freedom of Speech, of course :)

I think the reason they went with a slot one design is that you can but a larger heatsink on that cartridge. Simple as that.

Just goes to show some people can't even drive a CAR with 2 pedal, nevermind use a computer with 2 mouse buttons.

1) the cube doesn't have gigabit Ethernet. it has 100Mbit ethernet. the new PowerMac G4s are the only Apple products with gigabit ethernet
It's optional, though.

Apple has new colors I wouldn't mind seeing in a consumer OS now.
Ruby - Blood Red
Indigo - Dark Blueish Purple
Sage - Dark Forest Green
Snow - Frosty White
Graphite - Charcoal Grey
And the Towers and Cubes are Silver.
Good riddence to fruity colors.

Heh, he said dual G4 and you come out with Celerons? That's funny. Do they come with gigabit ethernet? Firewire? DVD? Up to 2GB of RAM?

What a dumb place for a vent.
Hot air rises.
Also monitors have had vents on the top of them for a while. I doubt at over 10 inches tall, any moron is going to put their drink on it...

You don't need sugar water to live. In modern society, you DO need gasoline to live.

Apple isn't the only one. Compaq holds a monopoly too! They only ship Compaq branded mice and keyboards with all their PCs! The nerve!

Couldn't you boil the stuff you got at the drugstore until you got pure H2O2? It would take ALOT to even approach what this guy needs though.

Imagine the heat these things must produce?
