Given that I use Movable Type almost every day, I'd love to see an inline spell checker for the browser as well as Thunderbird. I'm sure it would appeal to frequent poster on/. and other forums too.
Data, about audio quality, you're serious aren't you. Maybe I could measure the love for my wife in heart palpitations per minute or the precise equation for the lines in a Monet.
What a typical/. er. Data for music quality, please. Maybe you should get away from your computer for a few days, there's a whole world out there with real people and things you can touch.
Ummm, if you have mission critical data, you can't rely on other people's computers to be active on your network. Introduce redundancy sure, but you will inevitably have holes in the data.
To all of you smart guys, the claim on the part of Apple is that the G5 is the world's first 64-bit "personal computer." At least according to their website.
I did not see any widespread mention of it being the first 64-bit desktop processor.
So for that extra computer price, all you get with an Apple is the iTunes Music Service. Yeah, that's the difference in cost. Not to mention a far superior OS and plenty of great free software (iLife Suite).
This Rhapsody music service cost much more than Apple's. Even the Kazaa user doesn't download 50 songs a month. And what is the use of playing all your music from your computer. I listen to at least 60% of my music from my mp3 player and in the car. Maybe you're a loser and sit only in front of your computer all day. Hey, this service was made for you. People with no life, sign right up.
Like most P2P users, you may download a boatload of songs to begin with but once you have done that, you may only download 10-20 songs s month max. Why do you think publications like The
Street.com are touting this model as a higher revenue model than Apple's (http://www.thestreet.com/_tsclsii/tech/georgemann es/10089245.html). Because it's cheaper for the consumer? Umm, no, it's way more expensive.
It's also doomed for failure. Apple's music store, once ported to windows, will be a much better model. Subsciption services have always failed.
