I think whether or not your Core Duo 2 CPU has 64 bit support or not depends on which core it has - Conroe or Merom (Wikipedia mentions a couple of other types). Nothing on the Apple site seems to talk about the technical specifications on that much detail, sadly.
From what I can gather, the MacBook's are using Conroe's (which would explain why Apple arn't touting '64 bit support' in them), if that's true I would guess we may see Memron ones around MWSF (on Googling, a couple of other sites seem to be thinking that too).
Your @mac email address is a dead give away.
Both Conroe and Merom are 64 bit compatible CPUs. The Conroe is a desktop part which even Apple failed to use in their iMacs, so it will be a cold day in hell before the Macbooks use them. The Conroe uses a new 955 chipset which provides *full* 64 bit support. The laptop chips on the other hand is still using the old napa chipset and hence the 3GB memory restriction.
This doesn't make any sense. You don't have to authorize a computer to copy the file. There are no limits on copying the file. Why should you be able to download it more than once?
He is a Mac user, these are the same people who sit smugly on forums whole day long proclaiming how Windows is teeming with virii and spyware when all they do is click on that latest included screensaver that comes in their mailbox.
Your analogy is reasonable right up to the point where you blame people with AIDS for the disease that weakens their immune systems. Windows users can stop using windows whenever they want (with a little bit of effort to switch) but AIDS sufferers cannot cure themselves.
Windows users do not have a choice when it comes to "using Windows". What if a user needs a Windows only app, for you know... work?
With the SERVER product, maybe. With the desktop product?
Go stick with your OpenSolaris box then. You wouldn't be missed. I'd rather have common commercial software run on my "Unix-like" OSX machine than to have a "Unix" machine that is as good as scrap metal. You still have not answered WHY you need OSX to be certified by the OpenGroup.
Also, I would rather not rely on Apple PR blurbs for real technical data on this. I'd want third-party confirmation first.
Yes, Apple cares deeply about the few dollars that you have to spend on their products.
Or didn't I already mention something about sheep and lock-step thinking?
Try checking your own brain. You seem sucked into this "Unix" certification nonsense yourself.
The 'top of the screen' arrangement in MacOS is a sacred topic in Macintosh circles. It's considered more heretical to critcize it than even to propose additional mouse buttons.
Trick is, I don't care. If it fails, I'll call support and they'll bring me the right part, and install it. After replacing serveral components in my last homebuilt, I decided those warranties aren't such a bad deal. Not to mention the component cost of building it myself equaled what I paid with a warranty, the only way build it myself made sense was if I wanted to spend the money to build an "Extreme" rig with watercooling, or other specialty stuff. Which is cool and cutting edge for all of 6 months. Since I don't see my computer as an extention of my penis...
However if it is Applecare you will probably send your computer back, have it returned with the problem unfixed, and then spend the next 3 months wrestling with support to get the issue resolved. Meanwhile the rest of us go to the mall, use the money we've already saved from the Apple premium to buy a even newer replacement part, and get a free bonus computer upgrade + repair before the day is even out.
They did replace my logic board twice, though, which made it all the more suprising that they'd rather put $2000 of parts in a $1200 machine than just give me a new one.
Do you honestly believe that a logic board (oooo! So logical! Smart board!) costs $1000?
It probably costs Apple only $40, the solder and plastic and chips probably costs the chinese $10.
Actually most studies show that the more affluent you are, the less likely you are to have a lot of children. Typically wealthy people have far less kids than poorer ones.
Poor kids have a lesser likelihood of surviving due to poor health care and nutricent... so it balances out.
(Your claimed battery life for the iPod is also way too short [apple.com].)
Your link is referring to the "new and improved" iPod that was released during Paris Expo last September, it is fair to assume that the GP owns the original 5G iPod.
I strongly suggest you get your hearing checked --- at 3000rpm, they're very audible (though not as bad as most desktops), at least in my 15" Macbook Pro. They're still audible at 2000 even, but not as much.
You should get something done about your ears, they are fine... too fine.
I'd rather have a cooler laptop with a wee bit more noise that'd be drowned out by everything else than a silent toaster waiting to catch fire.
Psychopathy isn't exactly common you know. Contrary to popular opinion, most criminals aren't psychopathic. Moreover, those criminals suffering from it aren't automatically violent; a criminal psychopath can just as easily be an embezeller. In fact, one could argue that the best "white collar" criminal would be a clinical psychopath in a position of corporate power - they'd make a great CEO in the short term.

Apple's customers are like no others--a rich blend of the most sociologically elite [atspace.com] with those seeking elegant [atspace.com], simple computing... Unlike users of Intel/Windows computers, a significant portion of Apple's users are active [atspace.com], exploratory [atspace.com], avant-garde [atspace.com] and early adopters [atspace.com]. The activities they enjoy are unique in the way that they more often incorporate rich media such as video [atspace.com] and music [atspace.com] as well as more active prosumer behavior than many more passive Windows [atspace.com] [and Linux [atspace.com]] users.

So what happens if the artist does not want you to have free reign with their music to put it on any device you wish. Considering they created it,
If they want the right to control how the consumer uses it they are PERFECTLY FREE to frame their "work", put it up on the wall, and forget about selling it. Have you seen car manufacturers saying for instance "Oh, we have a special partnership with Exxon, all Toyotas bought from today onwards must use Exxon fuel."
Newflash: your rights do not cover that, even for so called intellectual property.

You wilfully bought it when PeeCee manufacturers are shipping Core 2 Duo laptops, and so you now got to pay the price.
The price of buying things at Apple's preset price points rather than gradually adjusting prices: priceless

Fitt's law gives you fits.
Who cares about macs? They are just shoddily built PeeCees with a Apple branded big brother chip inside.
Socketed too. Oh and the memory controller for the GPU is also socketed. Apple is innovative.

Nope, but he certainly has the right to be homeschooled, or attend a special school which tends to kids with special medical needs.
If you are watching porn is it possible to have a mini thumbnail of your video playback display on the keypad as well?
This is a genuine question!
Not work safe!

Nobody does a logic board replacement out of warranty, nobody.
