  1. DDR3? on Intel Launches New Chipset · · Score: -1

    Its all well and good that they gave us DDR3 on this one, but since I can't find any DDR3 to buy, something in me doubts that it will be very popular for a while.

  2. Re:Did Apple make a mistake? on 4.7GHz IBM Power6 Spotted · · Score: -1

    Well, the problem with such an idea is that POWER6 (and POWER5, or 4, or any of them for that matter) are not the exact same architecture as PowerPC. The original PowerPC was based on the earlier POWER proccessors, and the G5 was based on the POWER4, but that does not mean they are the same. Making a POWER6 Mac would just be another transition all over again.

  3. No on Apple to Use Intel Chips? · · Score: -1

    Sorry, but as the CarTalk guys say,
    Bo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-gus.

    Or, if it is true, Apple has just lost a customer.

  4. Re:salutations on Does launchd Beat cron? · · Score: -1

    Well, if Darwin is FreeBSD in your opinion, you could check it out now.

  5. No more competetion on Adobe Buys Macromedia for $3.4B · · Score: -1

    Well, the media authoring market just got a lot smaller. No more Freehand/Illustrator competition, nor Livemotion/Flash. Adobe is ready to steamroll.

  6. Mac on Setting up a High-Tech Language School? · · Score: -1

    Give the all cheap iBooks. Great multilanguage support, awesome OS, and made by Apple, an education leader.

  7. Whats a toaster? on New NetBSD Port, NetBSD/Iyonix · · Score: -1

    Yeah. What is a toaster exactly?

  8. Re:I'm not a developer on Microsoft Can't DRM Docs Fast Enough · · Score: -1

    Well, actually, I meant that the Apple developer docs are much easier to use (and better) that M$ online ones. Check it out here.

  9. Obviously! on Microsoft Can't DRM Docs Fast Enough · · Score: 5, Funny

    Duh! Being Microsoft, they had to make things harder for developers to use. After all, if they made it easy, it would be a Macintosh.

  10. How did they use apple's DRM? on Rob Glaser Responds, Talks Up Real Networks · · Score: 1

    In number 7, Rob Glaser says that they didn't "mess with the locks of any of Apple's music." How else could they find out how to use the DRM? Apple is the only place you can find Apple DRM songs, and there is NO WAY that Real could have found out how to use the DRM without hacking an Apple song

  11. Just thinking... on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 1

    I don't know if anyone has said this already, but it is a nice WiFi repeater, a wireless print server, and a music streamer. A new Airport base is an extra $100. A WiFi print server from D-Link is over $100. A music streamer for iTunes doesn't exist. Its a good deal.

  12. Definetely April Fools on Apple's Rumored PowerPod · · Score: 1

    Here I am, one day later, and in red letters before the article it says APRIL FOOLS. Oh well. It was a good joke.

  13. Safari! on Political Pop-ups, and Follow the Money · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not only do Opera, Firefox, and MyIE2 all block popups, but so to does the Apple web browser Safari! It is also the standard browser.

  14. Benchmarks are not all... on G5 Benchmark Roundup · · Score: 1

    Even though the G5 kicked butt in the benchmarks, it also kicks butt in areas that you cant test, like user interface, and case design. If the benchmarks could test easyness of interface, Apple could have even more under its belt.
