Look isn't feel. There is a lot more to the Macintosh experience than skins and a dock. I suggest you actually try using a Mac someday, then you'll be able to answer your own questions.
I agree. All this test shows is that Word for Macintosh is a horrible slug. The PowerMac was very, very close to the Opteron on everything else. Oh, and where are the price figures for the systems in their matrix?
He didn't actually test iTunes Music Store songs. He tested songs that he ripped from a CD. iTunes Music Store songs are not ripped from a CD but are instead encoded from masters.
There is a difference. I'm not saying that they're of pristine quality, but they're certainly better than a rip.
You're confused. You think that all Websites are commercial ones. Many are not. They are the ones that should develop for standards -- IE be damned.
Once enough of those Websites are written to standards, it'll be a lot easier for (a) people to switch browsers (b) commercial Websites be written to standards (c) convince Microsoft to support standards.
Will this support HDTV? Also, I don't see too many people paying a membership fee and then paying for each rental. You'd have to be a very heavy movie watcher for that to make sense. They should have filler content that is free with the membership like documentaries and such.
My Blue & White PowerMac G3 has been acting up since upgrading from 10.2.6 to 10.2.8. There are times when the system will pause and not accept any input -- but the mouse pointer still moves around the screen.
And to revisit your issues with mono, claiming that C# and MSIL support for linux is helping microsoft more than it is helping anyone else is similar to saying that java support on linux is only good for Sun. I just don't see the evidence or reasoning.
No, it's not. Sun gives you the whole enchillada. Microsoft lets you built the beans and the cheese but doesn't want you to implement their special sauce.
The reason why DVD's can afford to exist on a $10 to $20 price range is because 12M people already went to a theater and shelled out $10 to see it on the big screen and most of these costs have already been covered. The music equivilant would be a live concert which you just can't do on that scale.
I'll be the first to say that the RIAA needs to find a new way of doing business, but I'll also be the first to admit that it's not as simple as most folks would think.
Tell that to Pearl Jam. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, go to Amazon and search on Pearl Jam. You'll see CDs available for their concerts.
I don't like much of their music since the Ten album, but I had to support them by buying one of their concert albums because it's a brilliant idea. It's actually a very well engineered CD. The imaging on it is perfect.
I was one of the people that said they should be targetting individuals instead of companies that make general use applications. I'm glad they're now suing individuals. It's a good thing. It's definitely bad for the individuals, but for society it is a good thing.
Hopefully they'll upset enough citizens that there will be mass public dissent or boycotting of their products. This should result in more reasonable copyright law and a breakup of the music cartel. Either way, society wins.

Panther will support 64-bit operation with the PowerMac G5. Obviously, the whole OS hasn't been recompiled for 64-bit machines.
Is there a Firebird mirror anywhere?
I agree. All this test shows is that Word for Macintosh is a horrible slug. The PowerMac was very, very close to the Opteron on everything else. Oh, and where are the price figures for the systems in their matrix?
And since when does the G5 compete with Opterons?
Anyway, good for AMD for being so competitive.

The VT team has stated that they've developed software that renders this weakness moot.

Isn't this what the Web Standards Project did in essence? Except that they didn't play favorites as far as what browser to recommend.
Too bad they stopped.
Safari is the default browser for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
Wouldn't they be called asters and asterites?

Government systems aren't the only ones that are considered when speaking of national security.
Atstake is the new name of l0pht? I never knew that. How did that happen?
Unfortunately, mine is doing this with only one computer on the LAN and with no network drives mounted.
My Blue & White PowerMac G3 has been acting up since upgrading from 10.2.6 to 10.2.8. There are times when the system will pause and not accept any input -- but the mouse pointer still moves around the screen.
...they'd be shipping these now instead of showing prototypes like a bunch of cowards.
You know, you can adjust the level of pressure required to produce a click on Apple's Pro Mouse.
My apologies if I got my mexican food wrong.

Wrong. The Sosumi sound was because of Apple Corp.
...we're back to following the Russian's lead on spaceflight? Kennedy is rolling in his grave.
I think you're missing that fact that the combination of small and large at the same time is a very, very cool thing.
