Personally I'm really sick of big budget, over hyped movies. (Specifically the last two Matrix movies) Don't get me wrong; big budget movies have a place... That place is not to make you feel like you've been watching someone play a video game with really good graphics for two hours.
I've been going to a local independent theater that shows a lot of inde films from around the world. Its been a much more enjoyable experience then Regal. Just last weekend I went to see "Worlds Fastest Indian" which was one of the best movies that I have seen in a while and I'm sure its production cost wasn't way off from 15 million.
I'm listening to the free song of the week in Itunes, while compiling the newest xorg for my gentoo box. No audio skips, even during compiling. I'm running a testing version of CXO that came out a week before CXO 4. I have found that Itunes' audio works just fine with my 2.6.9 kernel.
You still do need Quicktime installed to Itune. The insall of Quicktime isn't a total waste because it does work under CXO, the other day I viewed a trailer in Quicktime running inside of Itunes, in KDE, with CXO. The video played back just like in windows.
It isn't perfect, but come on, its running on an OS it wasn't coded for.
If this is real, I don't think they are emulating a G4. It says "Users are now able to run Mac OSX at G4 SPEEDS ". So I would say if this is the real deal, it would be emulating a G3, but at a speed that in some cases is as fast as a low end G4. i.e.. I emulate a 68k processor on my P4 2.6, and I get resulting speeds that are greater then many older PowerPCs. So maybe what they are really saying is, that if you run Cherry on a processor with the same computing power ratio as my P4 to 68k you will get the speeds of a G4, lol. So that would be something along the lines of, 68k is to P4 as G4 is to 8-way XEON.

Does this mean that we can now all get gentoo up and running in less then 50 hours?
