...is not cheaper than buying the power from the local power company. Not that anybody would think it would be, but I did some calculations just to see how much more expensive it actually would be.
I used their 40W light bulb for 8 hours on 50g sugar ratio, and I used google to determine the going rate for a Kilowatt-hour and a 5 lb. bag of sugar. I determined (all rough estimates, mind you) that running a 40W light bulb for 3 days would use 1 lb. of sugar and cost $.52(USD), where running the same light bulb for the same amount of time with grid power would cost only $.19(USD). The article says that the researchers are trying to make it more efficient, so maybe someday we'll all be off the grid thanks to E. coli. Weird.
The motherboards used in current Apple products are, for all intents and purposes, 'PC' mobos. They have standard AGP & PCI slots, use PC RAM (DDR at 133MHz or more) and provide connectivity through a number of PC compatible technologies (Intel's USB bus, IEEE 1394/Firewire, Ethernet, etc.)
I see what you are getting at (at what you are getting?), but I think it's important to note that IEEE 1394(Firewire, iLink) is an Apple invented technology. In addition, Apple was arguably the pioneer of integrating USB into their systems and was equally in the forefront of SCSI technology before they dropped the technology in favor of IDE and Firewire. The Wintel world has a debt of gratitude to Apple for all three of these technologies, and vice versa for all of the others that you mentioned. It has been, and I believe will continue to be, a healthy symbiosis.
As any parent can tell you, telling your child not to look in the "forbidden closet of mystery" undoubtedly ends in your child doing the opposite. I think it's only a matter of time before the people of China put an end to the censorship.
If you remember way back in May when Apple introduced the Xserve, they also previewed a 2GB RAID solution. According to this relatively old c|net article:
Apple also previewed a future storage device, the Xserve RAID, a 5.25-inch thick cabinet that can contain 14 hard drives for a total capacity of 1.68 terabytes. The system has two 2-gigabit-per-second Fibre Channel connections, a high-speed connection technology for communicating with servers.
There have been some rumblings around the Mac rumor community that this will soon debut. Can I get a "booyah"?
Because when you click the "I Accept" on the EULA, you are agreeing that you will only use it with Apple's DVD-ROM. When you use it with someone else's, you've broken the "contract." Them's the brakes, eh?
Anyone else notice that the 9 in 9i and 9 in Mac OS 9 are identical? I guess it's a good thing that Jobs and Ellison are buddy-buddy or somebody's lawyers would be whacking someone else's lawyers over their heads with giant salamis.
Yes Aeron chairs are expensive ($600-800 USD), but if I'm going to be sitting for 10 hours a day, I wouldn't have anything else under my butt. (I do , so I don't.)
Why would Apple roll out a new chassis design without the chip that would need it?
Two apparent reasons: (1) Apple wasn't selling near the PowerMacs that they were a year ago. The line needed something shiny and new. (2) Apple was probably designing this new motherboard for a CPU that can handle HyperTransport (hopefully the next PowerMac) and decided to release it now for reason (1).

That's the way I see it, anyway.
