"We" probably want different things. Depending on if we belive Apple should be paid for their work or that we should have more hardware options, or which people want the most.
"and it runs world of warcraft better than windows ever did.", yeah right.
100% bs, feel free to install Windows and get the FPS with the same settings in both oses and supply two screenshots which shows how the game looks aswell.
How? The encryption key are known and I think most other things they can come up with can be fixed. I think Apple are screwed then it comes to make it only boot on their machines aslong as they use compatible instruction sets and so on.
Yeah, something like a shuttlespeced machine within a cubedesigned case containing motherboard, fans, cooling system, psu, operating system where you added the cpu, memory, harddrive, optical drive and then a supporter bios graphics card just as you can do on any hack and it would be perfect.
And people don't mind paying some extra for a shuttlekind of system over the cheapest stuff available, and they would understand that they need to pay for the OS aswell.
Sure some people will still complain and say that they need two graphics cards, soundcard, four harddrives and two optical drives but fuck them;D
(Just make sure it has 3-4 800mbps firewire or something, and/or external sata maybe.)
The thing is that much software in all the pro categories aren't available in the free oses, and much stuff requires more work.
He probably just want the OS of his choice with the applications he likes on a computer which doesn't suck / is sufficient for his needs.
With a PC and Linux/BSD/.. he doesn't get the apps.
With a mac he get crippled hardware or unnecessary bullshit he doesn't need.
And I 100% agree with him. I did buy this 15.4" 2H 2007 MBP thought because it was close enough (and I was stupid enough to pay for ADC student membership, if I hadn't I would have waited this time aswell because it only had 128MB which was so retarded, and 1440x900 are pretty retarded aswell.)
It _IS_ a noisy piece of crap PC. Anyone can do it themself with whatever (almost) PC they already have and a downloaded DVD from TPB or whatever. These people are just trying to make money of the work by both people over at Apple and the people who made it possible.
And it sounds like fuck, I'd pay $200 to get rid of that noise alone.
People do have electricity, phone lines, roads, railroads, water and sewage.
"MOST people do not have fiber to the curb", no shit, I know, what I said was: "People should have fresh black (?) fiber to their homes."
People didn't had roads or power lines earlier either, but guess what? They fixed it!
Without xDSL the government over here would probably have decided that we should get fiber to everyone because only 56k was available as you said. When ADSL showed up market forces seemed to somehow fix the issue a little and I guess they didn't saw much reach to do it themself longer so of went the fiber to everyone. It suck.
Shitty upload speed suck, copper suck. Fiber can deliver so much better speeds, and so much more than just surfing webpages.
Personally I don't give a shit about narrow-band users. I don't even give a shit about cable and ADSL-users. People should just get decent connections, not this shit which some people have to live with. ADSL was the worst invention ever and have ruined so much! People should have fresh black (?) fiber to their homes and the possibility to choose among a wealth of operators offering bandwidth for them.
(And be able to HOST content at decent speeds aswell.)
It doesn't matter how much CO2 it releases if it have already picked it up from the atmosphere. (But sure, it would be even better to just plant trees and somehow throw them into a almost bottomless pit and let them remain in there and locking the carbon in that way. Not very likely to happen thought.)
Actually I do have a note on my door saying I don't want any advertisement, which work for most stuff.
But it seems like the pizza and kebab restaurant owners kids can't read, or those notes are only valid for the regular mail, in any case I get their ads anyway.
So I've typed "no ads and no kebab flyers either" but I still get them.
Each time I get them I actually think for myself: I should drag it in poo and go back and return it telling them that if they are going to give me that shit I'll return mine.
Yeah, Slashdot have a human moderation system and somehow the developer(s) of the forum think that they can do a better job in code when humans do to decide what is right or wrong? I hate all kind of filters on what I type, stuff like warning/banning on "bad words" and similair aswell.
"APPROPRIATE ACTION IS BEING TAKEN TO PRECLUDE ITS OCCURRENCE AGAIN."
So, uhm, they failed?

But considering how sensetive your finger tips are, what do you do if you accidently touch the door to hard or to soft? Does it really feel right or do you have to compensate for it? What if your compensation gets wrong? Have you ever done it more than 12 times because you "wasn't done"?
But you need it to play the latest games, which are the ones people would prefer to (atleast be able to) play.
I find lots of cool shareware apps for OS X, but I don't want to buy all those small nifty gadgets, coming from Linux and later BSD it seems so weird.
I'd like to for instance test and use VoodooPad instead of 400 text files or so which I never care about later, but I don't want to pay $40 for that. That gives you a whole game or half an OS,;D (But I do understand that they don't sell so many so to get some money back they need to keep those high prices. But uhm, I won't pay it for such simple apps.)
Same with 1password, convenient yes, but it only uses the key management system which are already within OS X? And it cost like 30$ I belive.
Leap seems convenient to, but in the demonstrational videos he so overcomplicate how he would do it in spotlight and oversimplify how he would do it in his own app. So I doubt the difference are that huge, but still convenient.
If adium did webcams it may even have been WORTH money!;D
But Apple and Steve doesn't give a shit about _GAMING_ on the computers and OS. Which sort of was the point. If they wanted to make a gaming console wouldn't it be a good start to make their OpenGL better, listen to game developers and maybe put in decent/better/not cripple the hardware in the computers first?
I don't doubt you are correct, but all that always some at a price (in dollars.)
I doubt Apple and Steve gives a shit about gaming considering how much they care with the computers and OS. If they did wouldn't it be a good start to make that part work first?
Wasn't some PPC chip from PA Semi mentioned together with some Genesi-stuff like a year ago or so? Their webpage say that they do Power based cpus. So I'm sure Apple could use them if they wanted to, and the Slashdot text mention 2GHz dual core at 5-13 watt, I'd prefer a 2GHz dual core 64-bit powercpu in my MBP before the 2.2GHz C2D I have now running at what is it? 37? More in merom? + That is "typical."
I doubt they will change, but with Power/PPC chips available in the company and all software code in place for it already why not?
But then again they could use it for whatever non-mac aswell.
Slashdot Mirror
Be? I doubt they care.
"We" probably want different things. Depending on if we belive Apple should be paid for their work or that we should have more hardware options, or which people want the most.
Why would it be perfect for Apple that someone starts to make money on hacks?
Thought Jas did aswell considering people paid for his mac pro.
"and it runs world of warcraft better than windows ever did.", yeah right.

Yeah, good idea, ask on Apples forum!
I doubt harddrives bought from Apple are Applebranded... More like Hitachi or Fujitsubranded.
;D
Maybe if you install it on your iPod and boot from that over

Maybe those $4700 / household would be enough to give many of you people in USA fiber to your homes?
The longer time it takes the bigger the reason to start five years ago.

+1, and I wanted to say "no" for the same reason.
But then I'm not in their consumer group seeing how I never buy music anyway so I doubt they will care.
And if I was a Metallica fan who bought music I guess I'd buy it in whatever form.
Actually I do have a note on my door saying I don't want any advertisement, which work for most stuff.

But so far I have never done it. Some day
If it wasn't that I'm a pirate I'd go ninja all over you because of your offense of russian technology!

You're such a fake!
Of regular filesharing. Bandwidth are there to be used, just as RAM are ;D
But you need it to play the latest games, which are the ones people would prefer to (atleast be able to) play.

Everything are so much easier as a pirate. You even got your backup online, so to speak.
