Getting a really old, piece of junk computer to run Windows 98 got me a lot of beer by the owner. I practically did the entire job while in a drunken stupor.
the industry has been pumping out shit games en masse. Nintendo itself isn't doing anything that different either. I hope they can play by their own rules.
If you're a big fear mongerer here is an idea- don't do anything on a computer that is sensitive. Don't cheat on your wife online, don't keep sensitive data about your self or other people on a system connected to the internet, and those nuclear weapons designs you carry around on your lap top... try encrypting them or something. ...Another idea: Trust in your legal system! if someone really wants to get ya, I doubt it will be by hijacking your macintosh, try not to worry so much- it'll give you grey hair.
It's big and clunky,
Requires a lot of resources to stay alive
It's slow and all it's able to do is turn green things (eg money) into big heaps of shit. Way to go Microsoft!!
like 5 freaking korean geeks in california...
Mini Discs are so 1991
Memory Sticks are so 1998
and Sony is no longer ubiquitous with high quality electronics, in fact most of their stuff is over-priced, cheaply made- garbage.
Good-Luck Sony, but you already failed along time ago...
don't get me wrong- I love Panther too--
I've been on with X since 10 and each version became more useable, 10.2 was so big because it made X useable, 10.3 is way better- but it felt more like a bug fix.
There was a ton of new "features" like adding bash and updating a lot of the components- and I don't mind paying-- I just think if Apple is going to continue with this upgrade schedule they really need to add value. At the beginning most people were upgrade so their OS became useable, and now that it is useable upgrading becomes less of a necessity.
Steve is really testing the psychological limits of economics here.
going from 10.0 to 10.1 was pretty big, 10.1 to 10.2 was huge, but 10.2 to 10.3 wasn't as substantial.... so there is expose, access to some updated apps, big deal. Then we were faced with iLife becoming a pay for use suite, which wasn't of much use for me since I'm on a g3 without a dvdr drive, but that move took a lot of value out of the OS and placed it into new hardware purchases.
Apple is squeezing every last dollar it can- as any good company should I suppose. But I think if he keeps up this trend he is going to see adoption rates for the new OS start to fall and start to fall in line with the adoption trends in the windows market (where most people buy the new os bundled with their pc purchase). If Steve wants to avoid that scenario he really needs to add more value. I know a lot of you zealots are saying panther was a big deal, I'm sorry but it wasn't at all- and I am pretty skeptical right now that Steve can take a stable, fully functioning OS and really add enough features to wow everyone.
These are the companies that are in bed with Microsoft-- which is proof that this is some little inbred experiment that will ultimately fail. Look at the trouble the big tech companies have had over choosing a standard for HD-DVD, the little division between manufacturers has delayed these devices, even though the technology exists, and the demand is growing. As long as Microsoft and these companies have competition, there is an open source movement, and the market is driven by consumers-- this will not take off.
So if you have a rash of burglaries-- you catch the criminal!, you don't punish everyone else and make them feel less than human just to settle some vendetta.
It's a waste of money, it's a waste of time-- and it's very unnecessary.
...In Theory this doesn't sound too evil.... but isn't this America? the bastion of liberty and freedom? Hearing about George Bush praying to his god and starting wasteful wars, the extreme censorship campaign the FCC has gone on, the garbage laws in the DMCA, and the numerous monopolies abound from software to broadcasting-- it sounds like America isn't really America at all and has just become one giant shit hole that only gets worse with age.
That's just my opinion.

Duke Nukem Forever is not installed on your machine as a result of playing this cd... Thank you, have a nice day.
Everyone knows that pioneer 10 was destroyed by Klingons in some harmless target practice!
Life is too short to walk around worrying about muggers.
I think this has to be the worst ask slashdot yet.

Anything with the word Flexi in it must be good!
I wonder how much the guy had to pay Slashdot for the blatant ad?
