Most of Apple's merketing materials say "G5" not 970. What's preventing Apple from still calling them G5s and still doing the comparison? With the right tweaks they could easily make the Intel G5 appear much faster then any Pentium or IBM G5.
Is Joe Blow, with his three year old Kodak, really gonna go drop a few hundred dollars on a copy of Photoshop? How can Adobe or Microsoft or Apple whoever call that a loss?
No, he's (she's?) got a point. If you're the average home user is there ever a chance of you actually buying a copy of Photoshop? You're not a customer, and probably never will be (for that product, at least) so how can they call it a loss? While corporate piracy could potentially be a loss, home piracy (of software, at least) usually isn't.
But doesn't standardization decrease profits? Over the long term, that wouldn't allow for companies to force customers into buying their upgrades. Or is there some sort of deep economic thinking behind what MBCook has said that I don't understand? After all, I'm not an economist.
Yeah, pulling a drive may take ten seconds, but then you have to hire that extra person/persons to pull the machines out of the boxes, pull the drive or RAM out, retest the machine to see if it still works, and box it back up. Get enough returns and then you have to hire more people, driving the manufacturing cost of new products up. With higher manufacturing costs, and Apple not willing to take a hit on their margins, the prices of new machines goes up, and Apple loses more market share.
ms shouls have been doing this all along, and i'm glad to see that they finally are. lets just hope they keep on top of updates better than they keep on top other security problems.
i've been trying to get my motorola dcp-550 working. it's not going as well as i had hoped, though.
my cd player gets ripped apart all the time, but not the hack, just to fix.

I never said if I liked it or not, but it's an example of a pretty major feature that was scrapped.

With Yahoo! Mail UK, you get free POP access if you let them send you targeted spam. Maybe they could do it that way?
