So how many cores will be the maximum number of cores? This statement is really confusing:
Also, there is now support for 4 CPUs, whereas previous versions of these Mac OS X tools only supported 2. This likely means we'll see dual-core Macs by WWDC, and possibly quad Macs based off these dual-core chips by then too."
They used to release WWDC sessions on Quicktime CD's for free (back in 98 or 99). They used to not make developers sign their life away in non-disclosure agreements. They used to allow more access to developer docs, tools, and seeds to the dedicated hobbyist.
Nah, the difference now is that Apple actually does release the rumored products in a timely manner. More often than not Apple does such a good job at keeping new products secret that rumors are nearly too late. (weeks in advance at best). In this case, its not a rumor, its a fact that the CHUD tools support quad processor machines.
Dear Apple Matters. I think people want to see what the processor and memory are of your broken iPod. Could you please update your web site with photos of those components?
PS. Macro mode on a digital camera could substantially improve the image quality.
During the keynote, Steve Jobs said the Pages templates would be filled with greek text. I thought, what if you speak greek? Well now that I see the templates...It looks like latin to me! Can't he tell the difference?
I've heard that 3D cards of today are exponentially increasing in number of transistors. It's been said that the problem of displaying 3D is "embarrassingly parallel". Hence, the performance of these cards far outstrip the CPU for parallel processing.
Some of the thoughts expressed by experts are that 3D cards may become general purpose parallel computing cards.
If it weren't for bottlenecks in the AGP bus, it would be possible to use 3D cards of today for more general purpose computing (I'm fuzzy on what the actual hold ups are here...timing issues?).
There have been Slashdot discussions about using the graphics card for audio processing, because audio is usually less than a 32 bit stream. The problem is that audio and often general purpose computing have "real time" requirements.
Also, make sure your open source card supports ARB_fragment!
For all others obsessing about this problem, I've located the link to the older Intellipoint driver version 3.1. This one allows you to set scroll wheel button settings that broke in v.5.0.

Now the only reason I'm not going to upgrade to 10.3.5 is that it apparently wiped out some people's Entourage emails and contact data. Looks like I'm going to migrate to Mail before I upgrade.

I like Trac by Edgewall Software for managing SVN. It has some its a web based solution, not an app.

Symantec Executive: "Isn't there some way that we can exploit this to make an OS X virus?"

Does this mean 8 cores in one mac?

mod parent up!
I dont know much about PCI Express but I do agree that there is a clear trend in turning the G[raphics]PU into a G[eneral]PU.
Can this thread get any Dulcimer ?
In my experience you are not right about this. I have 'ignore accidental trackpad input' checked and the tip still works.
I still find dragging my finger more convenient.. but I also crank up the mouse velocity settings...
and optical line in!
and the ram is on a single chip on the 15" and 17" models
High school will not be, and shouldn't be, "the best years of your life."
Don't worry... they'll make sure of this for you!

Thanks a lot to whomever moderated me overrated. In defense, I think I made a valid point and have obviously generated some relevant feedback.
I hope they fixed bug #41233 "Fix problem with sucking"
Currently 43 degrees Fahrenheit, light rain.
5 day forecast rain showers highs in the 50's lows in the 40's.

I completely agree... Google are you listening? Where is the classic Google Groups that I dearly love?
My condolences about the Maxtor drive you decided to install.

Sorry, there is no FLASHROM in the iPod. The OS resides on the HD.
I hate to break it to you guys, but George W Bush is a dumbass... he ain't so tech savvy if you knows what I mean.
Yes Circumcision should be outlawed. Thanks for stepping up to say something about it.
I printed "Chris" into a Compaq iPaq and it recognized it as "Anus". I nearly died on the floor from laughing.
A true story!
In contrast, the Newton 2100 handwriting recognition is still considered awesome.
I once had a chance to play with one. I signed my name and it recognized my signature and converted it to text...I was blown away.
One last thing to consider, how much space is left in the firmware?
Oh, about 59.9 gigabytes....
>if it were... it would be a terminal amount!
Hahahaha! Oh I'm a pathetic shell of a human.
+5 Korny!

>Do you realize how much time, how many thousands of man hours go into these cards?
I do realize how much time, thousands of man hours goes into open source? How many lines of code are in linux or FreeBSD?
And I dont see why they cant license chips from ATI and nVidia for their open source card. It might bring costs down significantly.
I think its win win and maybe a harbinger for open source objects of the future.
