Is efficient access to information more important and useful than years spent aquiring a relatively static set of knowledge?

I thought HL was based on a highly modified version of the Quake II engine.
Am I the only one that noticed that the Apple benchmarks use GCC? Everyone knows that the Intel compilers slaughter GCC 3.x in performance comparisons especially where floating point performance is concerned.
I'm all for the belief that the G5 is a superior CPU. However, I live in the real world where CPU performance is only part of the equation. If you look at spec's page, you can see the submitted results from Dell and Intel show the P4/Xeon scoring much higher than the G5.
A more interesting test would be to see the two platforms compared using the best available compilers for each.
I'm really an Apple fan. In fact, I'm writing this on a PowerBook so don't pick on me as an Apple hater.
I remember when Slashdot used to be the voice of the fringe. Now, the only posts to get modded up are cynical, capitalistic, main stream horse leavings.
That being said, I tend to agree with the cynical horses with the runs on this one. It would be nice if ubiquitous, FREE commo existed, however.
Has no one mentioned that this patent goes almost hand in hand with the current Mac rumors regarding implementing "piles" of documents to replace, somewhat, file folders on the desktop. Think how easy it would be to shuffle through a "pile" of documents with this new mouse! Anyway, that's just rumor talk.
