The Clue Club has been recalled because of the danger of splinters. If you have received injury due to splinters in the act of wielding the clue club, you might qualify to be part of the class action suit. Operators are standing by.
Even if that weren't the case, Adobe has no real financial incentive to do a rewrite of the current apps. From Adobe's point of view, it's much better to develop the next version and then satisfying all that pent up demand. For those that need to run PS (or whatever) NOW, Apple is still selling perfectly capable and speedy G5s (including a quad G5).
I bought a G4 powerbook late last year, knowing there would be Intel powerbooks sometime this year. I don't mind waiting a rev. or two or even three, at which point I can buy a factory refurbed rev. 2 and not worry if the software has been ported.
El Rio de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula
Uh, that's the full name of the L.A. "River". If you're refering to the City of Los Angeles, the historical root to the name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles (sobre Porciuncula)", but I just call it "La Ciudad de la Reiña de Los Angeles" when I don't refer to it as L.A. or Los Angeles.
I think the ACLU would have a pretty tough row to hoe if they wanted to change the names of towns and cities in California, as the first European settlers in the region were Catholic missionaries.
There was a joke circulating around the time our current mayor, Villaraigosa, was elected. He's the first latino mayor in something like 140 years, so the joke was that white Republicans were worried that he'd start changing place and street names to Spanish ones.
By the way, Porciuncula is the name of a town in Italy. I'd hazard a guess that the Queen of the Angels originally hailed from there.
I slid on my 2nd Gen iPod when I crashed my motorcycle. It has a big jagged scratch on one edge (to match the corresponding hole in my leather vest's pocket), but it continues to function flawlessly.
I pretty much agree. I want to be surprised and blown away this Tuesday. I've learned not to take much stock in the predictions so that I won't be disappointed. Still, MWSF predictions have become something of a sport. I wonder what the Vegas line is on intel Powerbooks? =)
Then they're out of luck because Apple's first attempt is invariably flawed.
Often, but not always true. I can think of plenty of flawed first gens from Apple, but I can also think of 1st gen stuff that was pretty good. TiBooks, first laptop with a G4. White iBooks (aka USB iBook). The original iMac, and each of the big revisions. The G5. The 5 gig iPod. I think the problem is that there have been enough problems with 1st gen stuff that you start to think that all 1st gen stuff sucks, especially if you've been burned. But that's why they call it the bleeding edge.
And for the record, if the do announce intel Powerbooks, I will wait until at least the second gen. =)
I work on a sound stage with wireless (b) provided as a convenience to the clients. About 2/3rds use Powerbooks or iBooks, and have no problems. Most of those with Windows based notebooks either don't have a problem, or already know how to troubleshoot a connection.
Three months ago, there was this one producer with a 12" G4 Powerbook, brand spanking new. Couldn't connect. It'd take me 10 minutes of going through the troubleshooting diagnostic each morning to get him connected, and then again in the afternoon. His PB had 802.11g while our network is on an old linksys 802.11b router. He claimed that he had no problem connecting at his office, at his home, at coffee shops etc. I thought maybe it was a conflict between b and g, but when I got myself a 12" PB shortly thereafter, I had absolutely no problem connecting. Weird. Anyway, for two weeks, I hooked him into the internet twice a day, and he was happy to have the personal service. Made him feel like he was special and being catered to. Producers eat that shit up.
I think you're likelier to see such an announcement at WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) in June. That's also my guess as to when we see intel Powerbooks. But we'll see this Tuesday.
(I'm pretty excited. I drove up to SF from L.A. on my motorcycle yesterday and I can't wait. It feels like Christmas when I was a kid. Now I'm waiting for all my Mac buds from around the country to arrive. Mac Geek Par-Tay!)

If you were married, your wife could sue the shower manufacturer for loss of consortium.

You must be referring to the ACLU's support of left wing extremist groups such as the KKK and the American Nazi Party.
Captain Obvious! How can we ever thank you for saving us from that subtle joke!
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your first ever post to slashdot!
I'm not sure what else to say, as this is my first ever post congratulating someone on their first ever post.
But does it play ogg?
=)
Do you mean Congressman Willy on Wheels?
Nope. What's worse is that is earth rotation machine is DRMed up the yinyang.
It turns out that I naturally fall into a 28-hour day, with 20 hours waking, followed by eight hours of sleep.
I had a similar experience, but my wake/sleep ratios were the opposite.

He who spelt it, dealt it.
You're not a non-Mac-fanboy. You just haven't gotten in touch with yourself yet. =)

That'd be cool. With a wind up handle twice as big as the rest of the iPod to supply power.
Yes, you were being relevant. The clueless mod probably has never heard of Alan Kay, who, among many other achievements, was the first "Apple Fellow".
Well, if you put it like that, why the hell not?
Whaddaya want from me?
This is slashdot. We should be arguing about how slow or fast the dupes are.
Adobe aquired Aldus (and Aldus Pagemaker) a looooong time ago (late 80s/early 90s?), but Adobe started as Adobe, not as Aldus.
