In Windows you go to the start menu or the Windows explorer, navigate to it and run it. To do this you use the mouse.
I don't use the mouse for the start menu, neither do most of the Windows users I know. It's also easy to organize the menu.
Windows key + "P" (for programs) + first letter of program (category folder if you've got it organized like I do) + first letter of program again. Hit enter. Almost as easy as Windows key + arrow keys.
I think she means an Origami-type ultramobile PC device. $599 was Microsoft's target price for Origami, which none of the manufacturers has come close to. Although it would be a marketing coup if Apple could do it, I don't see how they could sell such a thing for less than the price of the Macbook.
Sorry, but you're wrong about that. It's in a socket, and there's nothing to prevent user upgrades except the general difficulty level involved in taking the thing apart. Saving on manufacturing and development costs is exactly the reason why.
Also, Conroe won't go in the iMac for power and thermal reasons. Merom is a drop-in replacement for Yonah, and the iMac has a socketed motherboard.
The larger issue is with you, me, the grandparent, the article, and the retards who populate every Mac forum (MacRumors, I'm looking at you). We are all just making shit up. None of us knows what Apple's upcoming products are, and while "current news and events" can provide clues, Apple likes its surprises. I have a friend who works at Apple, and he can't tell me anything, because he only knows about his specific project. It's a very compartmentalized company, and anyone claiming to have the "inside scoop" is full of it.
It's because Apple 1) has a very loyal (if small) user base and 2) never ever makes prior announcements of any products.
Microsoft is comparatively very open about their future product schedule. Hell, all I had to do to get the beta of their next operating system was make up a name and give them an email address.
If Apple is going to grow as a computer company, they're going to have to stop worrying about products competeing with each other and realize that every sale is a good one.
I bought a 4P three years ago (from a professor- AFAIK it was university property;) for $50. It came with more than its value in toner, so I guess I got a good deal. It's very slow, which is my only complaint (ever printed 20 copies of a 50 page paper at 4ppm?). It also causes the lights to flicker when it's actually printing, which annoyed my roommates at the time. Prints 3000+ pages per $70 cartridge.
If you can buy a used LaserJet cheaply, I'd say that's the best option for a personal-use printer. Those things were built like tanks.
That reminds me of the time I brought home a Tablet PC from work- my roomates and I "trained" the writing and speech recognition (which I never used, the computer was just a big wi-fi remote desktop display) to be highly inaccurate... profanely inaccurate. Good times- I wonder who is using that computer now?
Ok, the parent was making a joke, but the satisfaction of human vices is almost always profitable. Check out Vice Fund, which according to its site has a three year return of 20.74%.
It's not necessarily "bungling," either. Apple simply did not spend enough money with IBM for it to be worth it to IBM to spend R&D on Apple products. IBM can expect Microsoft to buy as many as 50 million XBox360 CPU's over the next five years. Sony may buy as many as 50 million Cell processors over the next five years.
How many G5's has Apple bought? Three million? There's no 3GHz G5 because Apple's orders would not cover IBM's investment in creating it.
I don't think they'll use Xeons in the "Power Mac", but that's where all of the speculation is running, and I don't have the energy to argue with people about it (especially the retards who inhabit most forums- I'm looking at you, MacRumors).
Whatever processor they go with, Apple will use the same motherboard for all models- which means either Xeons on the low end or no quad. I think Apple will go with Core 2 Duo and skip the four core model until January, which is when Intel's roadmap shows quad-core processors available.
Core 2 Xeons (Xeon 5100 series) are available now. You can go online and buy them. Er, well, most e-tailers are out of stock, but OEM's always get first pick. Go to this page and click auto-notify: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82 E16819117100
An "Exclusive for X years" deal with Intel is the reason Apple can't use Opteron; the reason Apple won't use Opteron is because Intel provides the complete package of processor and chipsets, optimized for stability and performance. In order to use AMD processors, Apple would have to sign deals not just with AMD but also with ATI, or NVidia, or VIA, or another chipset maker.
And you're wrong, AMD no longer has the high-end edge. They won't regain it until 2008 at the earliest.
You've touched on exactly what makes this so hard to understand. AMD used to be the ultimate value buy. Two of my college roommates and I had, between us, an Athlon XP 1800+, 2100+, and 2500+. I've also got a Sempron 2200+ machine. All four of those computers were relatively cheap and offered a lot of bang for the buck. But the Athlon 64 and X2, while fast, are way too expensive for any of us to consider, and this coming price cut by AMD is too little, too late.
I have an Intel machine now, and both of my old roommates are switching.

Not with the "7" series cards. As far as I know the last card that could be Quadro-modded was the 6800 with the nv40 core: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=5 3058
Unless your friends use Macs- I can get all the software I want. And with Bittorrent, everyone is your friend!

Well, you were only modded "funny" when I wrote that.

You're right. I suppose it's not too outrageous to see differient internals for two differnt tiers of Macs.

Well, you can look forward to new XServes in January then.

D'oh! I don't have that. But it wouldn't take up much space.
