This might be ok for gaming, but having worked for a music software company in the past, we'd ALWAYS tell customers to stay away from mobos with onboard audio. Latency is usually very high which comes into play when recording and playing multiple tracks with live effects.
Yeah, I hear you about the hour long wait. I am lucky that my job is ok with me coming in a little later, otherwise I'd be screwed daily.
On the other hand, after waiting an hour in that traffic, folks can expect another hour wait to get to the airport once they hit the China Town overpass if driving durring said time of day.
I have used the bypass a number of times (EVERY day when I leave work going out to 93 and a few times to drop off folks at the airport coming from 93.) It saves SO much time. I can't wait until its actually legal to use.:P
What does Apple's code say about droppping out of Tradeshows that are built around them?
That should bode well for every company who spend big bucks on a Tradeshow that helps them keep afloat and who have gone out on a limb to build resources for a company whos monopoly simply hasn't been as sucessfull as M$.
I wonder if its part of Apple's code of ethics to back out of Tradeshows built around them. Good luck to all of the manufacturers who have always gone out on a limb to support them and their already tiny user base. That's a real kick in the teeth.
You are detroying the sanctity of The Mac Nation. Don't you understand that this thread is supposed to be about bashing M$?!?! For God's sake, your even handed insight is not welcome here on./, never mind this post. I am sufficiently horrified.
As negative as your tone is, its tough for me to answer. Apple seems to be hurting their image little by little.
Macworld has helped Apple build a strong sense of community. Apple is backing out of what I feel is a responsibility to represent themselves at the biggest public forum that was created for them...
quote from article: "The big problem with television isn't that it's flat," Benton says. "It's that they canceled Twin Peaks after two seasons."
Well, I think the bigest problem is how outdated his reference is. Next he will be complaining about how the CHiPs didn't get picked up for an additional season.
Will use your current MSN screen name, account, buddy list and let you check your Hotmail. Also great as it will also let you use AOL IM, Yahoo IM, IRC, ect. all in one tidy interface.
The convention center has a pretty much direct road (pretty new - still says "authorized vehicles only, but cabs and pretty much everyone else, uses it to get to the airport. This road is also accessable from exit 18 on 93 which is just south of Boston) to the airport, thanks to the Big Dig.
My understanding of the article from Boston.com, is that their not attending their own party could have to do with IDG (convention organizers) no longer "investing" in NY.

I think the manufacturer figures you are going to leave your house at some point or another.
silly manufacturer
:P
Step One: Turn on Roomba
Step Two: ???
Step Three: Roomba takes off with my wife to the Bahamas.
Damn Roomba. You are too smooth...
I agree - the tubes theoretically would privide for a cleaner sound (signal to noise ratio?). Just don't bump your box too hard.
no, not THAT...
Are they crazy?!? Everyone knows that sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.
Neither do private parts, but that doesn't stop 1 in 10 of geeks who work from home.
:P

Drop outs galore.

What's that smell?
From what I understand, you no longer need a credit card to start your trial. At least I remember hearing that on one of their insipid commercials.
Now I can use my IPAQ as a wireless live video switcher.

Part of doing public relations is deflecting bad press.

But this still must be fun for the Mac Nation here at
"From an organizational perspective, this renders down to if we screw up, you're the one left swinging."
You mean like Apple with MacWorld?
STOP!

OK. I made a dumb error and jumped the gun before my brain processed the meat of the article.
Sorry...
I wasn't.
*picture me kicking myself in the ass*
I wish though... We geeks know how to party.

Oh yeah, its free.

The cost to stay in the Boston area is considerably less than that of NY.
From comments made in a similar article on Boston.com, it seems that perhaps Apple wants to keep money rolling into NY.
Personally, I think that much of Apple's marketing efforts are targeted towards newbies and tradeshows aren't attended heavily by newbies.
So they say...
I'll believe it when ny building stops shaking from all of the impact hammering.
Um, yeah...
but its called MACWORLD!
Well, my take on it is that perhaps Apple needs to keep spending money on their "Switch" campaign which seems largely targeted toward newbies.
Newbies don't go to MacWorld (generally speaking) or any other trade show for that matter.
This paralells your link that Apple isn't doing so well.
