No. In this case, Apple needs developers to start work [i]now[/i]. Can you imagine if they did this a year from now? The devs would be so angry Apple would have nobody to develop for them.
AMD doesn't have the ability to sell to Apple right now. First, they're mobile roadmap is nowhere near as powerful as Intels and that's where Mac's really shine. Next, capacity. Intel can add Apple without blinking an eye. AMD can't.
So while AMD's DESKTOP tech is nice, its nowhere near a good business proposition yet for Apple.
How about this. I work 90 hours a week to make my $1000 and you work 25 hours a week to make your $100. Why should my extra work be taxed so much more?
Or how about another one. I make $100 and scrimp on everything so that I can put $60 of that into very high risk investments (like my business or a startup) and end up making $1000 while you spend all your $100 each time you get paid - why should I pay more tax for all the risk I took while you took none and made none?
Do you not understand that its not Time Warner that elects the congress? Its people. No matter how much money they get - if the people don't want them, they will not get elected.
Look at the presidential election. Dems got MORE MONEY than the Republicans, yet Bush still won. By 7 million votes.
Quote from the article: Some day, the DMCA needs to go away.
Although I'm very happy to see this ruling occur, what worries me is that legislatures will see this as a sign that the court system will keep their poorly thought out law from being applied in the worst possible ways and that there is no need to repeal it or rewrite it to be more specific.
Apple had Sherlock years before Watson was ever a gleam in Karelias' eye. The only thing that really changed in Sherlock 3.0 was its UI was CLOSE to Watson, even though anecdotal evidence points to that UI being designed BEFORE Watson.
Dashboard is basically a replacement for Sherlock.
No, not 3D interfaces in the way you're thinking. Think of it this way: every window is now an DirectX object. No need for redrawing by an app. Since every window is now a 3D object (one with only one pixel depth), you can do simple things like moving all the maintenance of a windows' DC from the app itself to the OS.
That's what Quartz Extreme does on OS X. This is just Quartz Extreme on PC.
Have the P4 or AMD do it in software and it'll take you to a dual or very powerful single processor.
THe only reason (which you would have found out if you read the article) it requires a Dual G5 for SMOOTH playback is because Apple decided to be stupid and keeps the MPEG2 hardware playback API private so that they have to do the decoding in software and not hardware like a normal Intel based system can.
Its not a hardware issue at all, but a simple OS design issue. One of the very few places where OS X actually fails compared to Linux or Windows.

Amazing what 3rd grade reading skills will do for you. And if you're still too lazy to read it - YES to all those questions because its all just MPEG2 after all.
And it looks like you're in the minority. The FCC DOES do what the majority of people want and the majority DON'T want Janet's breast on OTA broadcasts. The majority DO want censorship to that degree. Just because you feel the right to something doesn't make your opinion the majority opinion.
That's the problem. Too many here on SlashDot are self righteous idiots who think their opinion is the majority one because its obviously right. Well guess what - its not.
If you read the original sources of the article, you would see that "Crunch time" isn't so bad. Its when "Crunch time" consists of the beginning, middle, and end of the project and you're required to work 7 days a week 18 hour days the ENTIRE TIME.
Its not all about cheaper. You have to integrate it and make it work.
I know several companies that have gone with CE instead of Linux because it would have cost far more to get the featureset they wanted in development time AND it would make the release schedule much longer.
CE is a very small cost compared to time lost in the market and the cost of getting the developers to do what is needed to bring the product up to a certain level.

Osborne was TOTALLY different.

Yes, but every one of these issues was fixed in the MP 2000 series. But it was bigger, bulkier, and more expensive.
You are right and wrong. They CAN inspect your bags if you enter their store. But you have the right not to enter that store.
Its their property. Their store. As long as its done in a uniform, non-discriminatory manner, its all right.
"it's an ever dwindling market. "
Lets see here. Focus on kids. Number of kids in the world growing. How is that ever dwindling?
Because everything in OS X uses XML configs. A dang site better than Windows Registry or the thousands of permutations that Linux uses.
Here we've got almost all the HD channels - except for Universal HD.

A cease and desist letter doesn't mean much if you're in the right. Anyone can send one. Anyone can sue. Its just being a blowhard.
If it gets into the court system and doesn't get outright dismissed, then its a problem.

That is strange. Firefox says its a GIF, but the filename says its clearly a jpg.

I can say I got on as well. But I noticed that during the keynote sites like PayPal and others were completely unavailable.
What that tells me is that it was a network connection issue - not a server issue for Apple.com
You must be a flamebait. Firefox for Mac is Firefox. Either you're too sucked into the crap that is IE and can't see straight, or something.
There I go - answering flamebait.

You sound like an Amish man looking at a BMW 5 series and saying "I still don't get it, what so different from any other horse?"
That's exactly what they did. IBM built a brand new fab specifically to build very fast 970s and other 13 nm and smaller chips.
That was the whole point.
Part of the Soviet Union was in Asia. Not sure if that part is still part of Russia though.

I know for fact that Linux was considered, but was not feasible for many reasons. They actually tried several different OSs.
