Well I use Remote Desktop Client to check back with Head Office all the time. Assuming MSFT does issue an update of their Virtual PC to work on Intel, you should expect similar performance to Virtual PC for Windows when running the mac version through OS X on Intel. If that happens, you should not have any problem with developer tools. Running Windows games will require a reboot into a dual booted windows installation.
Most of the MSDN Deep dive sessions I've attended had presenters using multiple Virtual PC sessions on their windows PC's.
Ok, fine Konfabulator is a rip of Active Desktop and other webparts found on various websites for ages where you could add and remove content from your portal site and drag it around your portal homepage. Are you happy now?

Prior to Kaleidoscope, Arlo worked at Apple on their Appearances manager which was supposed to have support for skins but was canned. *Gasp* If Kaleidoscope was based on his work at Apple on the Copeland project, doesn't it seem reasonable that he might have stolen some other technology from his former employer to create Konfabulator? The core developers worked at Apple and they still had contacts on the inside. This gave them inside track with regard to the "Dashboard" layer which is why they knew it was coming in Tiger before everyone else outside of Apple did and it is how they came out with Konspose right after Steve's Keynote unveiling Tiger.
It's a carbon copy? Really? Then why is one based on XML and Javascript while the other is HTML and Javascript? Why can the latter work in Safari?
If you are wondering why the Konspose feature appeared in Konfabulator before Tiger was released to developers, you have to look at the fact that Arlo Rose used to work at Apple in the Mac OS division. It was around the time they were working on Opendoc and Copeland. He worked on the Appearances/Themes feature which never made it into OS 9. Konfabulator is also a rip of ideas from Opendoc as well as desk accessories. It is entirely possible that Apple might have been working on other projects that we never heard about. I'd say that Arlo is bloody lucky that he was never sued by Apple.
How are you supposed to differentiate from multiple picture editing windows based on a textual description such as image1 image2 image3? An MDI application would be even worse. You would have to switch to the application first and then cycle to the one you wanted.
Do you have all of the chanel numbers memorized? Are you really going to turn Closed Captioning on and off often?
That is the key to simplicity. You do not have to have uncommon options on the remote when they are not accessed frequently. Do you also want a Widescreen and separate 4:3 button? What about a 5.1 sound button? Would you also like an optical output button?
An eighth? Holy hyperbole batman! MCE has PVR and TV watching which Front Row does not have. Front row does have one feature that IIRC, MCSE does not. Movie Trailers downloaded directly from the net via an online gallery are integrated into Front Row.
This is supposed to be an appliance. If it has a potentially powerful UI, use it. My cable provider has changed the channel lineup two in the past year so I cannot see how memorizing numbers will help me. I'd rather pull up a channel guide and surf to the show I want.
That means nothing. Remote buttons can have more that one function based on context. It makes sense to use the UI onscreen to provide the user with that context. There are plenty of remotes out there that have buttons that represent different functions based on their context already.
The fact that the MSFT solution has more buttons does not surprise me at all. A lot of their software is filled with unnecessary buttons and toolbars that do basically the same thing for a different context. With a lot of OS X software, inspectors change based on the context which leads to a less cluttered UI.
Being bright is not good enough. Raw intellect is no substitute for common sense and intuition. It seems to me that Gates and co are missing something in that department.
Or maybe you should RTFM. I don't *want* my mobile dumbed down for people like you.
Are you serious or you are trolling? It's a bloody phone. You are supposed to be able to make phone calls on it. If you want a digital camera, spend a few hundred bucks and get a decent one. If you actually "need" a PDA, get a PDA.
Cell phones are supposed to be made, first and foremost for the average consumer not clueless geeks like you. You seem to completely lack any common sense. Grab a clue and step away from your computer for a while.
Not if you use Pro apps. Those will not run on an X86 until a universal binary ships. Until then, users of the Pro apps from Apple will have to use a G4 powerbook.
The G4/G3 chips were extremely cheap compared to the Intel/AMD chips. Apple did not have to license or purchase motherboard chipsets/designs from a third-party. Also, the margins on the consumer level products such as the eMac, iBooks and iMac were lower than the Power range of pro-sumer products.
Funny that you should mention features. It was not until the past year that DVD burners were becoming standard equipment on PC laptops whereas powerbooks have offered DVD burners for years.
Bluetooth support has also been ubiquitous on macs since the standard came out.
I guess you miss the part about it being my days off?
I'm my own boss, I work 18 hours a day
No wonder you are so pissed off. Stop working so hard. Work smarter, not harder. You should not be working so long. I only put in 8 hours a day at the office. Have you considered getting a real job with set hours? 18 hours? Bullshit. Surfing porn while on welfare does not count as work.
There is no way you could work for 18 out of 24 hours each day. Get out of your mother's basement and get a job.
I don't think you get it. Gimp means to non-geeks. This is why it is offensive to people. It would be like calling a a browser "Faggot" or an IM "Flaming Homo".
Nobody is suggesting anyone spend millions of dollars but rather that project organizers would take a couple of days to hold discussion on IRC or IM to come up with a name that either conveys to type of program or has some marketability while not offending people at the outset.
The Open Source community needs to grow up and stop thinking like a bunch of counter-culture hippies or goth teens trying to purposefully offend as many people as possible.
Firefox and Mozilla are prime example which falsify your assertion that marketing is alien to the Open Source movement.
PS. Please stop yelling by interspersing your words with capitalized words and insinuating that other people are empty headed for having an opinion that differs from your own. It is quite juvenile.
Those doing the peer review are also subject to peer review.
Researchers argue all the time in scientific journals. One article will come out disagreeing with the results of another. It happens all the time. Pick up a psych or med journal some time and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You still have flawed, lazy, dishonest human beings involved. Do you remember how it was in high school? Do you remember the cliques? Don't you find it odd that there is very little independent research into cold fusion and any claim made by a smaller team is rapidly discredited before the public is able to see it? When money and ambition are involved, you will not get unbiased peer review.
I am sceptical of scientific research in general because it has become a pursuit of money and glory.
A troll is a deliberate attack on the parent poster or everyone in general. I was simply stating my opinion. If you don't agree with it, then post your objections rather than wasting your mod points on me.
Did you mods not get the memo? You are supposed to concentrate on promoting rather than demoting.
Offtopic? Did you bother responding to what I said? No. I realized that i made a mistake "after" hitting the submit button. Did pointing out my error make you feel like more of a man?
I use a Mac and am usually embarrassed when I see Mac fans going on about how the Mac is better than anything else on this earth including sex with Jessica Alba
Uh pal, maybe "gay" mac users might think their mac is better than Jessica Alba but virtually any straight guy would pick sex with Jessica Alba over their mac or PC. Mind you, I'd pick Maria Menounos over Jessica.
You are absolutely right. They should have instead gone from IBM to AMD. That way they could have continued supply problems and be without a fast mobile chip.
Empirical reasoning and peer review mean absolutely nothing. You still have to trust those doing the peer review that they are honest, capable of reviewing the research and that they actually bother to thoroughly review the work.
There is no guarantee that any of that will happen properly.
As for empirical reasoning, you are still relying on the reasoning of a flawed human being with their own beliefs and prejudices.
Did you miss the whole alchemy thing during the middle ages? Alchemists and wizards eventually became scientists. Science is supposed to be a tool for discovery but unfortunately many people are using it as a substitute for God and follow the scientists as prophets. Their faith is so unflinching that the scientists they worship do not loose any credibility in their eyes even when they suddenly completely contradict what they said earlier. In any other field of study, that would discredit you as an authority figure.
Scientists are in an enviable position because they can spout whatever bullshit they want and then contradict themselves when they actually come up with some real evidence.
A moving target is difficult to disprove or discredit.

Have you ever heard of Aqua Data Studio or thought of using MS Remote Desktop Client for OSX?
b) The Mac only has a few games, compared to the PC
Are games really that important to you? But there are games like WOW, WCIII.WCIIIFT, Doom 3. Quake 4, UT2k3, UT2k4 etc...
We have less games but we also have less crap games as a result. Next time you troll make sure you try a little harder.

Virtual desktops were a workaround for a lack of multiple monitor support and a lack of proper window management in the past.

Or alternatively, you can use the radio feature in iTunes to get the same kind of thing for free.
They will not run if they require Altivec which Rosetta does not emulate IIRC.
Not if you use Pro apps. Those will not run on an X86 until a universal binary ships. Until then, users of the Pro apps from Apple will have to use a G4 powerbook.
