How about a Visio killer? This is one area I think Apple's design sense and the Mac's graphics capabilities could really shine. Call it Diagrams.
Also how about a lite version of FileMaker as part of the iWork suite to parallel Access? While they are at it how about bringing MacPaint and MacWrite back? Pages isn't really a word processor. It is more like MS Publisher.

Even though Woz dropped out of the University of California, Berkeley in 1975 he returned to Berkeley under the name "Rocky (Raccoon) Clark" to get his degrees in 1982 in computer science as well as in electrical engineering.
Woz also went on to become a 5th grade teacher. How cool would that be to have "The Woz" as your 5th grade teacher!
"But as we look ahead, and though we've got great products now, and great PowerPC products still to come, we can envision great products we want to build, and we can't envision how to build them with the current PowerPC roadmap,"
I actually saw exactly what you are looking for about a month ago but i can't find the link now. It was slightly larger than your typical webcam and did an assortment of HD formats.
Dashboard is not an extension of the W3 specs or of Safari.
Dashboard is a extension of the OS and more specifically is actually part of the dock process.
look what a mess of incompatibility we have today of javascript, css, java VMs, etc.
The original post was primarily referring to how web standards have been implemented in a non-uniform manner. Every browser has unique features that caters to needs of certain users but what they all should have in common is how they parse/render HTML, CSS, JS, XML...
For Example Internet Explorer for Mac has an auction manager built into the browser. Great! Just make sure it renders everything according to the established industry standards and everyone will be happy.
We can only have software that is perfectly written or software that addresses the needs of the users?
Perfect software never ships(except Hello World).
Can't we figure out what the users need, and then deliver excellently written software to do that?
Yes. [see Apple]
I have been a Mac user since the late 80s and haven't used antivirus software on my Macs since the late 90s.
I think it is pretty pointless. There really aren't any "Mac" viruses to be concerned about just "PC" viruses that are incompatible.
In the event that someone actually does write a virus targeting the Mac, I am fairly confident it will be widely publicized and I am certain a patch will be available quickly.
Also much better for NetBooting and NetInstall. The design of the iMac makes me think thin client. It would be nice if there was a tin client option with no disk drives and lots of RAM.
Apple is also getting into the phone market. With in 4 months Apple will release a phone using custom hardware and software that will be years ahead of anything else currently on the market. It will have more features yet be simple to use because of its revolutionary one-button interface.
Within 12 months Dell will release a phone with twice as many features(only a quarter of which actually work), 104-key keypad with 24 programmable hot-keys and an AM/FM radio... for half the price.

No offense to the plant but it is like watching paint dry.
or alien technology?
It's also within the realm of possibility that God created the Jews more intelligent.
Don't you mean tri-booting?
Standard issue for Jedi... these devices have been.
TabletMac?
HomeTheater Mac?
PDA?
I think it would make sense for a browser like Safari to default to a "Aqua" skin and then switch to a "Metal" skin on a secure site.
I don't hate brushed metal but I am frustrated by the seemingly arbitrary application of it.
I think you meant WebTV.
In the future everyone will be surfing the net and reading email on their TV.
I'm sure Apple will release a iSight HD

So the two are mutually exclusive?
Yes.

Perhaps you missed the story about Safari passing the Acid2 test?
Safari's code is capable of performing to publish specifications.
Microsoft's objective was to create their own specification.
Entirely different thinking.
I'd be willing to pay that for quite some time.
The article suggested that $5/month was an introductory price for the first year. After that it will probably go up to $10-12 bucks.
I'll be in my office sleeping.
types with his thumbs on a 12" Powerbook like its a blackberry!
This begs two questions
1) How long till some industrious chap writes a plug-in that will strip the DRM, convert to AAC and sync it with an iPod?
2) How soon can Apple make an iPod that holds Yahoo's 1 Million songs?
Apple has an "approved" widget download area

If you look at the pictures of the article that were posted. It appears as though the guy in the comic is holding a Mac mini.
I hope they nail the guy who stole the magazine then throw the book at him.
In spite of the recent trackpad isses, PowerBooks are selling like iPods(yes, hot cakes have been replaced by iPods).
