I'm currently on my second PB: the latest generation of Als. Hopefully by the end of today Steve will have announced the G5 PB and I can start looking forward to a 3rd PB... Although I'd take an Apple Media Centre as a booby prize;)
Unlike most people it seems I actually followed the link and checked out the product: what a con! It's a standard pizza box with a bit of cheap foam lining and two pieces of red ribbon to "secure" your laptop.
You'd have to be insane a) to trust your $3000 laptop to such a pile of shit and b) pay 12.99GBP for such a pile of shit.
The real question is how much did they pay one of the editors to advertise this crap on/. ?
The JVM can take into account of the particular runtime environment it finds itself in (versions of libraries, capabilities of the cpu etc) it can actually be faster than a compiled application. It can also intelligently cache bits of content that regularly accessed.
I see this running Websphere: my J2EE apps noticably speed up over the first day or two of running as the app server profiles the application.
Heh I wouldn't bet on it. I was in court (for a traffic offence I hasten to add!) the main witnesses lied, we know he lied and could prove it: my barrister even crowed about the fact. And then failed to even raise the issue in court!
In the context of the article it made perfect sense (the device takes in a good signal and outputs a garbage one) which is a humorous (Google for it) contrast to the usual garbage in, garbage out.
In the UK we have JD Power surveys (thought you had them in the US as well?) and they tell you the best and the worst based on what owners think of them at various stages in the cars life.
Which? the magazine of the independent Consumers Association, has, I forget the correct legal term, "super complainer" status in law ie their complaints inherently carry more legal weight and can automatically trigger investigations. Anyway, they also publish regular reviews of the best and worst of everything, including cars. That's in the UK of course.
Could the answer to your question be that you're simply not looking very hard?
Interesting that you comment that the "reviewer is simply targetting the wrong audience" and then completely miss it yourself;-)
The clue is in the name: eMac. E for education where they don't need super-powerful machines but something with only one wire is a great advantage.
I also bought an old iMac (same design as the current eMacs) for my mum: all she does is email and browse the web. Sure she can do that using her Windows PC: but you would not believe how much spyware and viruses it seems to attract (last time I cleared out a major infestation it had not only destroyed her pc but had infected her friend's down the roads box as well). Not a problem with the Mac, although I do have to 'phone up occassionally: "Mum are you using Windows again? Look I know you are because I'm getting emails infected with viruses from you again! Use the Mac that's why I bought it for you"

Prove it.

I think you're struggling to tell the difference between what some random new site (/.) makes up to troll for posts and what Apple has announced.
Sure they do you, bizarrely, you chose to make up a few products, declare them boring and then blamed Apple for your inventions.
Whatever it is you've been smoking: you need to ask for your money back, It's bad shit.
I can't believe both you and the people that modded the gp took it seriously: sue the air?!? IT'S A JOKE!
Personally I always preferred the Ravelling Nancy.
Well you've pretty much proved you can be a 12 year old and use a dictionary...
Frankly I doubt you could hit the airliner at all at that range with the kind of pocket laser you use to point out stars.
Really? Name one.
Yes and he challenged you to explain how you could possibly conceive of a weak laser bringing down an airliner. So over to you for your explanation...

Your analogy is flawed: the tag does not just make the suit you stole unwearable it also burns down your bedroom.
It certainly falls flow of a lot of anti-computer misuse legislation.
You're an idiot: the gp was referring to the xbox2 itself not some mythical g5 dev environment for the xbox2.
That just sounds so unlikely: MS would advocate using Apple hardware to develop for one of its toys: what's your source?
Bullshit.
Apple have nothing to do with the XBox2 and it is most certainly *not* an Apple workstation. It runs Windows numb nuts!
Java is not slow.
The JVM can take into account of the particular runtime environment it finds itself in (versions of libraries, capabilities of the cpu etc) it can actually be faster than a compiled application. It can also intelligently cache bits of content that regularly accessed.

Re your sig: the phrase is "couldn't care less".
So put it in the public domain or come up with your own license. Isn't that obvious?
No, it wouldn't, but it would nail the person at the company who was the Data Protection Registrar and should have prevented access to that data.
Heh I wouldn't bet on it. I was in court (for a traffic offence I hasten to add!) the main witnesses lied, we know he lied and could prove it: my barrister even crowed about the fact. And then failed to even raise the issue in court!
I was stunned.
Four words for you: tragedy of the commons.
People who buy the virtual crap the farmers sell either:
I'd be prepared to bet the majority fall into the middle category.

Well that's just rubbish. I own and iPod but I don't feel the need to tell the world.
