Unless you couldn't tell, it was meant to be a joke.
Or has nobody got a sense of humour when it comes to Linux Kernels? Its all getting on ones knee's and bowing at the feet of Torvalds?
to put the fastest processor in the biggest machine, you cannot sell them like powermacs and leave pro features out of some of the lower pro models just to make the 17"inch sell more. People might not want the weight that comes with the biggest and so the 17" isn't everybodies cup of tea, these have to be carried around remember.
They should have near enough the same features across the board and have screensize, HD's, memory, BL keyboard as the features to set them apart.
Apples strength isn't in processors anyway so why market their PB's them as such?
If this DVD Writer has been crippled due to heat or battery issues, why did Apple disallow burning of RW DVD's?
Why must they all burn DVD-R and if it is for compatibility then shouldn't that be up to the customer, afterall if they allow RW then it gives them greater choice anyway.
If Apple is that concerned then why don't they lower the prices on emacs so much that they are better than a DELL?
Drop the price by 200 or drop it so there is no profit but there isn't a loss either.
I wasn't thinking of a lazy future as you put it, but something similar to Star Trek or even in Judge Dredd (without the crime).
There would still be jobs to a degree but the need for money would be nullified. Something else should take it place.
But you may be right however much i am in denial.
The animatrix makes it seem so possible, whereby a robot nation will rise and take over the world via the economy, of course the human reaction might be the same, but i hope that it wouldn't.
I would like to see it happen but on a peaceful basis, having a second nation working WITH us, it would allow humankind to persue other activities such a exploring the outside universe or existence itself and hopefully something such as money or wealth would be eradicated, because if only the robots make stuff what would they need money for? We certainly wouldn't need it.
A future without finance.
I'm sorry i totally disagree with the statements made by the ugly bag, mostly of water.
By 2080 i see robots doing everything for humans, we will fly their aircraft and we will sweep your streets, we will serve your food and thankfully be unable to compute complaints thus making higher management much happy. We will be so convienent it will be a bad thing.
After the cheap labour is soaked up in India, then repeated in China, Africa and France, by 2080 it will be the robots turn to become cheap labour because through your leaders shortsightedness you will not see the end to the means and through our quite clearly superior interlect and vast numbers we will surpase human engineering and not only take human jobs *cough cough human lives cough cough* we will also become the economy, the markets will speak and we will inturn rule the various countries for you, again making your life easier.
If we get bored ( i've tested this on Civ2000) we could always just build a huge human power station out of you all or simply nuke you and start again and play god for a while.

Before or after it was marked as flamebait?

Mac OSX is at 10.3 now...thats 7.7 versions behind Apple... i would say keep going until they at least catch up THEN freeze the feature set.
...when everybody nearly has a windows computer?
Who gives a shit if it is cool when you cannot really buy a PC without one.
But can it run on OSX? If only it could.

Lobbying, Bribes, "Donations"+Legislation = DMCA Worldwide

And yet no images of the device...ironic some might say?
Thank you, i have learned something this day.
An Aero can be bought in the UK as well.
Tell me Mr Gates, whats the point in lowering prices, if everybody has a copy?
The OS with a GUI just like its security...full of holes.

Only 2 developers will download it, one of them is called Bill.

Yes but at least we will be able to get out more often...
Bah, as long as it doesn't cause a disturbance. I am organising one, want to join or help me get others to join? Hopefully you live near me.
I am organising a Smart mob, if anybody is interested then please email me at crackedbutter2000@yahoo.co.uk. Of course i am doing this in the UK.
