Everything doesn't run hot on every MacBook Pro. I just had my logic board replaced so I have the latest revision and it's a vast improvement. No more whine with my internet, no more toasty battery - just a nice, cool stable, state-of-the-art ferrari-like machine.
Yah - well, it'd be nice if the Intuit 'alliance' with Apple would produce software and services that were on par with Windows based offerings (Quickbooks, Quickbooks On-Line - I'm looking at you).
If I were Creative, I'd be miffed that, having joined the Microsoft Playforsure camp, Microsoft then went on to develop its own PMP. In fact, I'd be tempted to piddle in Microsoft's pot by getting MS to pay a hefty licensing fee or suing it, as needs dictated.

using a custom neural to SCSI cable, his consciousness was transferred into a striking 20th Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) with 32MB ram and a 2GB hard drive where it was found that his entire mind only took up 640k.
Early attempts to transfer to a semi-custom Packard Bell running Windows 98 were unsuccessful until the issuance of Windows 98 SE (Safe Environment). Computer users benefitted and were along for the ride. Even venerable 98 SE however was too buggy and most evenings were spent back in then spacious memory of the ultra-modern LCD TAM.
It wasn't until Windows ME that Bill felt confident enough to live completely on his own OS, thereby naming that version of Windows (me) and explaining the very appearance of an unneeded (some say unwanted) version between advancements in technology. Custom code in ME played havoc with users computers however when bits of Gates' consciousness would leak out and offer to 'help write a letter' or 'format a list'.
Engineers at Microsoft attempted to fix the problem with a new release in 2001 code named Windows U2 but threats of litigation by the Irish rock band U2 forced a re-think of the name. By now the Packard Bell had given way to various models of faster and faster desktop and eventually he was moved to a modified, oversized anatomically correct Aibo dog at the request of his wife. After unsuccessful attempts at lovemaking, certain changes were made (deemed XP or eXtra Penis) and all agreed to name the new hybrid Bill/User OS after version 1.1 of the four legged android model. Eventually, additional robotic advances were made that gave us the Bill Gates we love to hate today.
The fact that you *might* have wet the bed. Your lust for monkeys. The entry in your journal where you dream you're overpowered by a slightly drunk K.D. Lang. Where you keep that 'secret' folder. Those pictures of your 'anomaly' before the operation.

I dunno - I know- Iknow... it's offtopic but really - throw me a bone here. Is the time wasted? Does it contribute to personal (or world, or Hun repelling) development in any way?

Apple now owns NeXT
In spirit, I think it was more the other way around. Kind of a digital coup d'état.
Raw sockets...
sorry, it's been awhile.
SP2 just chopped off SP1's head, and searches in vain for Win2K and others born in a previous century. Meanwhile, in Redmond, a child is born...
"There can be only one!"

Notes may have been brilliant under the hood,
but the paint job and steering wheel weren't very good.
As a program it's painful to use every day
How prophetic that Bill Gates thinks so much of Ray!
That's ok, I prefer my earth straight up.

Oh! Fat and bald and stiff legged jester!

Zune's a name like Tune, (how odd!)
Just lacks an 'i' and lacks a 'Pod'.
With marketing and Xbox gloss
They'll gain a share but take the loss.
With 40 billion stock bought back
Ballmer might just dodge the sack.
But Jobs would say the chance is slim,
and silhouettes will come for him.
I've never heard her sing (I turn the sound down when she's on TV)... but I've always called her Chestica Blimpfuns.
That's the only JS I'll ever share.

That's it! the -80C freezer is a screen door!

Gates died in 1997.

Well done.
What else is it sharing?
Everything.
