  1. Another Star Trek Question on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am a big Star Trek Fanatic. The part that you played was great. It showed a young person learning and growing up to be a man. Another great part was on ST: Voyager Naomi Wildman same thing. Also Jake Sisco on DS9. All those parts were great. But now to the question: After being in a ST after Kirk and Spock, Do you think it was a good idea to go back in time 100 years before Kirk or just keeping it after Kirk like it was?

  2. Re:Motorola still screwing Apple on Motorola to Have Rapid I/O in All Future Processors · · Score: 1

    Correction!!! OSX on a AMD processor. Not Intel!! And a AMD processor Not running Windows!!! That should put a big dent into the WinTel world. But you see that is only dreaming. It just comes down to one thing, Apple can not depend on Motorola anymore. They need to look to other alternatives like IBM or a AMD. Motorola is just not interested in making computer processors any more.

  3. Motorola still screwing Apple on Motorola to Have Rapid I/O in All Future Processors · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think Motorola went to Fantasy Land at Disney Paris before their presentation!!! They said for a long time that they are looking towards the embedded market. That should have sent a red flag to Apple. But, I understand Apple too, being a long time customer and beliving in them to come through. PCs are at 3ghz, have faster I/O, 8X AGP, etc. Apple design is great, but they need machines to perform. To be right up on the heels of the PC or even steping on their feet. Instead Apple is in the cloud of dust and once in a while sticking their head out with design and software. I think Apple should go into other directions or the Mac is doomed. Direction #1: Stay with Motorola to have them supply the chips for the iBook ( they need to make the move to the G4 and these new Moto chips can do it.) and the iMac/eMac. Then Apple should look to IBM's 970 for the Power Mac and PowerBook. To take it to another level, they should go to AMD and use their "Clawhammer" for the Xserve. They have been not only talking to IBM but to AMD as well. AMD's chip will be great for the Xserve to run a whole slew of OSs for the corporate environment giving Dell and Compaq a run for the money. And the 970 to catch up to or pass (hopfully) the PC. I owned Apples all my life, and yes I do have a PC too, but my heart is with Apple and I do not want them to go the way like Sega.
