It's not that bad. I have 10.3 installed on a B&W G3 300MHz with only 320MB of RAM and it runs pretty fast. Faster than I would have thought, even with a Rage 128 card.
That's not really a big deal. If you are playing a game, you are full screen and the OS isn't drawing anything. If you are using an app, most likely it is full screen so it can use the GPU and the OS doesn't draw any drop shadows on anything unless the program wants it to.
Right, just like MS's HD WMV takes a P4 3GHz CPU to decode their HD content in software.
Put it out to graphics hardware and it takes basically no CPU cycles.
This should change in Tiger, where all of the graphics sub system is going to be hardware accellerated, including video playback.
I find it funny you need to have 3 different programs running so that spyware can't infect your computer. Then you have to have an antivirus program running as well for real time protection.
I would say that they would have already had a significant amount of their design worked out before even starting this project, if true. They already have the G4 iBook and the old G4 XServe, which they could adapt to fit in this enclosure.
Just delete a few of the XServe components and they could have this machine done.
I doubt it would cut into the PowerMac's sales. Maybe the iMac's, but anyone who was going to buy a PowerMac wouldn't settle for this new cheap G4 Mac.

As if you can't figure that out. 11 Kelvin increase.
How about any number of the bittorrent mirrors.
Maybe you could watch the damn thing before shoving your foot in your mouth.
Watch the fucking movie no it's not.
Maybe you could WATCH the damn video and you'd see that it's not.
Stuff like this was always on StarTrek and I thought, no way, but now, that's amazing.
Dear deity that would be horible.
And I'm pretty sure, 99% sure, that it was developed for the Mac before Windows was even around.

Maybe it's a good idea. Buy a pre-whatever device, then no war driver will be able to sniff your traffic once the certified standard is complete.

"* Resets IE homepage to msn.com without consulting the user"
Didn't do that for me. It pops up a window saying do you want to reset your IE settings to their factory settings.
"At least Vader eventually overcomes the evil that controls him."
Sure but then he dies heh.
Well, if Balmer was presenting they'd have to mop the stage from all the sweat dripping from his pits.
Because there's a lot more to do there than just watch the keynote. Using all the new devices in person for example. Should be every geek's dream :D
Or just watch it streaming from Apple's website within a day or so after the keynote.

It can't be any more expensive than it will be to broadcast it after the event, which they plan on doing.

They're fixing a hole in their security that allows others to get past the DRM. So what's wrong with that.
You buy an iPod knowing that it won't support other DRM schemes. So what. You buy an XBox knowing it won't play Playstation 2 games.
If you don't like it, don't buy it.
If you buy something that works with WMA only, why should you expect them to allow you to play Real files or Fairplay AAC files?
WTF are you talking about. How does not allowing Real's DRM make you go back to Kazaa?
