(Check the actual benchmarks and you won't wonder why Apple didn't bench the G5 against HP's zx6000 dual Itanium workstation with the new 6Mb Madison cores)
Perhaps because that machine costs over 20,000 USD (with 8GB RAM, mind you, but what drives up the price is not the memory but the CPUs), while Apple's costs 3000?

In Wi-Fi, a router is usually referred to as a base station, and broadcasts your Internet signal. The router is typically attached to an Internet connection via a USB or Ethernet port.
A client card usually refers to a PCMCIA wireless card. The client card is attached to your laptop, or inserted into your PDA's PCI slot.
An access point is the radio device that receives the signal from the base station. It attaches to your laptop or computer via USB, PCI slot, or Ethernet. An access point can also mean a physical area (Hot Spot) where you can pick up Wi-Fi signals.

It is just me, or these definitions are rather shaky? E.g. the PCI slot of a PDA.

The guy's just cheap, in that movie he played his own sidekick just to save a few bucks.
I was also thinking about it today.
Sun did change the CPU it builds its machine s around, twice in the beginning of its history. IIRC they started with Motorola 68030's, then moved to Intel 80386, then settled finally on Sparc. They could do it again with Athlon64's. They even have a 32bit version of Solaris for x86, and they are surely able to develop a 64bit version of it based on the former.

perhaps Apple should take over the company and start selling them as iRemotes ;-)

Probably not. But would you boot your box for it, if it comes on a Linux Live-CD?
AFAIK highest HDTV resolution is 1080p, or 1080 lines. With 16:9 picture format that should mean a 1920x1080 resolution.
The miniseries "Children of Dune" will cover both the books "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune".
