Dude, you know how calories are in guiness? Get the Mac and lose the beer gut! You'll thank me later. Take it from an ole timer, you don't have to get drunk to have sex. That requirement is solely for the ladies.
Has anyone in the history of commerce ever got up in a presentation and said "our product is not as good as our competitors". I have put off building a new computer and using AMD processors on the prospect that Intel next generation would be better. So, just maybe, Intel is putting out all this press to undercut AMD sales and slow its market erosion. What do you think? I think the jury will be out till some independent testing can be done.
Dude I was with your till you said the sun is unmoving. Not only is the sun moving about the galactic center, the galaxy is moving too with the sun. But you are many-body problems are a bitch. Yet, oddly the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids all seem to know what they are doing in this cosmic system.
I don't know if this speaks highly or lowly of Apple. Everytime I read a story about an Apple defect, it is something new and unique. Whether it is a faulty logic board, bad battery, white spots, or yellow palm rests, it is always something new. My particular notebook had a recall on it due to a faulty memory slot. At the least, it illustrates that Apple is pretty decent at troubleshooting the design to resolve errors from future generations. Also, it shows that Apple like any other PC manufacturer is only going to produce systems that are good as their individual parts.
I don't care so much about net nuetrality as I do about government neutrality on this issue. This is one of those issues that has significant impact to commerce, to Americans, and to the future of our government. Information is power and those that control the flow of information have an enormous amount of it. Thus, our representatives should ignore the lobbyists and do their own homework on the issue and come up with a good solution. A good indicator that they are right is when no one is happy with it.
I think the advantages of flat rate is that it will generated momentum for the internet distribution of movies by giving vendors like Apple a competitive edge over DVD. Argueably, it is necessary because downloading a typical movie takes 4-5 hours with DSL which makes distribution not neccessarily convenient. Tier pricing is fine and more acceptable from movies studio in that production for a single movie can range in the hundreds of millions. I figure that a flat pricing may be granted temporarily to generate then move to a tier pricing afterwards
I see this as a major problem. Microsoft inflated the system requirements against the trend amongst OEM to use Intel video chipset and lowend chipsets in budget and mid range PCs. I can see this as at the very least a source of confusion. Instead looking at the cards you going to have add it to the main memory to figure out you requirement or if your system can even handle it. Also, I suspect that a great many notebook out there today in business, government, and consumer pc won't be able to even run Premium. Also, business and government destops won't be able to run it either. Remember, common knowledge dictated that for basic tasks a great video wasn't needed. But, this Aero feature is one of the major improvements that Vista had over XP to create a more efficient workflow. Microsoft seem to shot themselves in the foot as most people will default to lower price "basic" version. Moreover, their upgrades are going to look like XP which may create a backlash. I am sure glad I jumped off the Microsoft ship a long time ago. I think I am going to be more adament about purchasing Apple system when people ask for recommendations.
You don't know the mac community very well. We will pay for anything (sometimes more than Windows users) so long as it just works. $80 is small potatoes next to the $300 we already shell out for that other office suite. I certainly think it is reasonable to charge to support development. Even with the developers volunteering their time, new Intel Macs cost money and money don't grow on trees. From what I heard, this project isn't supported by the main open office project. The money is got to come from somewhere and if you are not contributing to the source code, you might as well shell out the cash. It is only fair if this project is important to you.
I don't really see the issue about the kernel and everything. I am geek. Moreover, I am and Apple geek. The OS satifies my needs in current incarnation. I have never saw the need to recompile the kernel for this OS. I recompile for Linux more out of necessity than any masochistic desire. I rather not be bother with it which is why OSX is my primary OS.
I would as a consumer would be interested in another Diablo addition. It seems to naturally fit in the mmorg genre where you select a hero, build experience, search for weapons, and barter for items. Diablo II spand many different regions including jungles, deserts, plain, and hell. I am surprised that it is not on the table given the success of the original franchise and of WOS.
It hasn't gone bust because porn is cheap to make. The sex workers don't cost much with some recruited right off the streets. The equipment is off the shelf video camera along wih lighting. I would be surprise if they all have pro-video editing tools from Apple or the like. With a web camera and good-looking girl, you could start you own porn website with little investment and rake in the cash.
I would like to see some products release by Microsoft for Linux operating system, maybe start a Linux business unit, or somtehing tangible to that effect. Ultimately, Microsoft should always consider the needs of the end-user. Instead of being greedy and strong arming thier customers to accept a Microsoft-only solution from the client to server, they should finds ways to fit in the customers plan that may include Linux.
This is exactly why I don't agree with this laisse faire approach to outsourcing. Other countries do not have the same labor standards as the US or other first-world nations. You can not tell me China (Tiamanmen Square) allows labor unions or give them any latitude. In order to have prevent outsourcing under laisse faire policy, we have to not unionize, give up essential benefits, work longer hours, and get less pay. You would hope (naively) that American executives would demand better conditions from their subcontractors in China and other countries but I am sure they would overlook those conditions for the bottom line. In end though, we are our own worse enemy. We demand cheaper prices and could care less where or how our products are made. Moreover, instead of watching elected officials, we choose to be hypotized by reality TV and crime dramas. There is only some much our population can do in a services economy. Not everyone can be a financial analyst, a software architect, engineer, or any other job that requires a bit of intellect. Construction jobs are going to illegal immigrants and those won't last when interest rates go back up. We are in for some desperate times. I predict this is going to bite us in the ass some day with a depression, a recession, and/or a really nasty war.
before you declare a winner. Media seems to have this fascination with projecting results before the contest has even started. Political election, sports, and technology. AMD or intels next generation are not shipping yet, everyone is projecting Conroe as a clear winner. Even if Intel Conroe will be the better processor, are they expecting to keep yields up next to AMD's. It would be a different story if Intels chip is 15% better but 30% more expensive. Lots of things can happen, companies don't talk about openly about all aspects of their product strategy. They tend to hide weaknesses and counter strategies.
Yeah, Linux is the 2nd most use desktop OS out there. You know also I read that George Bush graduated 2nd in his class at Yale! That seems logical too since he drawing on his vast military experience has lead the Iraq war to a successful conclusion while leading to us economic prosperity and bringing about an era of global peace. Oh yes, the ice caps won't melt because there is no global warming. You know making up facts is actually very easy. I don't why I didn't do this more in college.
Oh, yeah that is a good way to disclose something to the public. You can write in under your plan to assassinate the president and take over the world.
Here is the review of Dell's 20" laptop if you hungering for a review from a site that won't be easily slashdotted. With that out of the way, I notice a lot of 20" inch springing up all over the place. Is there really a demand for these behemoths? I know some people might enjoy the screen real estate for some graphical as well spreadsheet applications but 17 to 20 lb notebook? It gets any bigger and they won't let you take it on the plane. Is there someone who will shell out 2000 extra for this just for the ability to clear their desk once in a while? Buying a bigger desk is expensive these days. Also, are lan parties that popular? Oh Lord, I must be so geeky that geeks don't want to invite me to their parties! Though I have been to few parties, we generally bring beers not computers. Where is the market?
3D? Was this suppose to be a buzzword to get more hits? Gamers must be hugh demographic of the Slashdot audience (ok major "well duh!" moment) Ok, an more accurate way to look at this article is that scientists have created complex tissue from stem cell precursors which is more interesting to those who study biology or medicine or just those who may need organs in the next couple decades. I know that the reporter is not very science oriented but rtfa, and you will realized what the article is all about There are slashdotters among us who will naturally read science articles without all the buzzwords. So, save them for the Vista review articles as you posted too many of them.

Why assume they are giving up on their Macbooks. Just run Ubuntu on it. Masochistic I know, but do what you like.

Does this spell the end for the true relational storage paradigm that Microsoft has been promising since Windows 95?"
Absolutely not! Apple will someday invent it and Microsft will copy it.

absolutely, all we have to do is keep it supplied with liquid helium at $24/gallon. We are mac users, we are use to these extra expenses.

I guess it depends on the resolution of the screen. The larger the screen, the more ram is needed. The same goes for pixel density.
