If you've never actually seen the latest version of Newton handwring recognition in action, take a look here under Newton Usability.
I thought the latest version of Newton's handwriting recognition is built into OS X. It's called inkwell.
Eastmann Kodak is dying. They are following the footsteps of BSD and Apple.
doesn't one need like an 8MP digital camera just to get the equivalent quality of a good 35mm color film?
those high MP cameras are still expensive, and some people are satisfied with the quality of prints from those disposable cameras.
Any OS that is out there that can take away from the 90%+ market share that Microsoft holds is a good thing.
Of course Microsoft's market share won't go down if this OS just replaces one *nix variant with another, but that's another story.
I'm no processor guru, but I guess it's just like the 32 bit AMD chips... those babies can be overclocked to hell, they're cheaper, and performs better than the other chips in various benchmark tests.
when you get a chance, you should walk in an Apple store and check out Apple's iPhoto software.
It's a neat and easy way to organize photos and view thumbnails of your photo collection.
some people have enough trouble driving on a flat surface, and you expect them to worry about what's above and below too? Until those cars get auto-pilot with accident avoidance systems i'm sticking to the good ol' automobile.
closed source?
remember that buffer overflow problem on OS X not too long ago? someone was able to look at the source code and had a fix within hours. You think that will ever happen with a closed source and proprietary OS like MS Windows?
it would be nice, but I don't think it will happen. As stated over and over again, Apple is a hardware company. I don't think they would want IBM cutting into their profits.
at 222MB, they should consider sending every registered MS user a CD. I'm sure they could afford it. During the previous security fiasco, their defense was that the patch was available but people didn't bother upgrading their systems. Not everyone is on broadband, so it has to be easier to distribute the patch the same way AOL sends those coasters. Leave it to the user to decide whether to throw out the CD or not.
Surprisingly enough, if "3.xGHz" is on the Mac's box, Apple just might win a few Joe Sixpacks and a few PC converts.
Sadly, not if joe sixpack likes to play the latest and greatest games on it.
There's only a handful of companies that do simultaneous releases of games on both platforms.
if you just have to use AA batteries, then might as well get one of these for the ipod.
it makes it a little bulkier, but it works.
also, there's a plug-in for itunes that allows it to play ogg files. I know ogg is free and has great quality, but it's not like i pay for AAC licensing. in the consumers' eyes, AAC is also free, and it's arguably as good as or even better than ogg.
"There was a lot of error in our previous estimates," says astronomer Alan Harris of the German space agency, DLR. "It's all because near-Earth asteroids are somewhat brighter than we thought".
lots of errors is a bad thing. what if their estimates are wrong now, and the previous estimates were right. I hope it's not the same people who made the previous calculations.
And who exactly did they survey?
With consumer graphics chips having water cooling built in, and a few laptops how long until Apple puts water cooling onto the G5's?
i don't know about you, but I am afraid of any kind of liquid near anything that is powered by electricity. electric shock is the first thing that comes to mind.
IBM backing Linux on the desktop, at the same time providing processors for Apple's OS. Playing it safe by supporting both sides.
They are doing the same thing right now, producing PPC chips and selling Intel based hardware at the same time.

and the most popular game on the PC is still solitaire!
:-P

sex smells!
err. fate
Isn't apple dead too?
yeah, it suffered the same faith as BSD.

maybe we should outsource the sorting of fishes to them. :-P
the one with the best DRM implementation... ;-)

And where the hell are my flying cars?!?!

would be to reward some VT Computer Science majors.
get an A in any programming class, take home a G5.
just basing my opinion on court decisions that makes you wonder how good our judicial system is.
the RIAA sued a 12 year old girl and got a $2000 settlement.
a person who spilled hot coffee on herself got paid $8 million
OJ got away with murder.
you've heard of kids being tried as adults in a criminal court...i'm pretty sure they can do the same in a civil case.

I just want to read and write word, excel, powerpoint and access files without having to buy MS Office because it is so expensive.

Plus I really haven't heard ANY voices about "kiosks" running on MacOS :)
we're getting a bit off topic, but here's a site with info on Mac kiosks.
