People are parsing my sentence wrong or more likely I wasn't more clear. The original comment I was commenting was this. The only DRM is the one that keeps you from putting OS X on a PC. My comment is, Apple can also use DRM also to prevent OS X from being installed on a older Mac. Meaning a Mac that is sold today is an older mac in two or three years. The MacBook Pro has DRM in a few years Apple will want to stop support. This DRM in the future can be used to lock out future releases of OS X. Apple in the past has prevented people from installing an OS that was otherwise compatible because they didn't want to offer support or they wanted to sell more Macs. In the future I can see Apple using DRM to enforce this.
The comment is not that far off. The new nintendo is not that much faster than the older model. In fact there is no reason why the Revolution with its specs couldn't have been released at the time of the Gamecube five years ago abeit at a much higher selling price.
We are talking about future macs and future support. The poster above stated DRM is there so only OSX wouldn't be installed on non Apple hardware. However I postulated a theory that along with shutting out installations on PCs, Apple is also likely shut down installations on Macs they no longer want to support.
That would be DRM. Because it is restricting what I can do with my computer. Right now I can install Tiger on my iMac by editting one line in the install file. In the future I no longer can do that if Apple restricts it with DRM.

DRM also prevent a future OSX release from being used on an older Mac. But then again Apple has been doing this for a while. My iMac can no longer run Tiger.
They were selling 200 mhz computers in 1996 which is more than plenty to run Starcraft or the original Counterstrike which are still very popular today. Although getting an enjoyable experience is a whole different story.
I saw an interview on the History channel. The difference in Woz is that his dad was an engineer with HP so he was exposed to tech that person's learning on their own or getting a degree wouldn't necessarily get.
Actually, the first Apple product did not bundle a keyboard and monitor. The Apple I was just a logic board with built in support for a keyboard and a monitor which was a first. It's like Henry Ford and how he is credited for changing the automobile scene. Henry Ford didn't make the first car, nor the best car, but started a trend of cars that consumers could afford. Would there have been another Henry Ford if Ford didn't step up, maybe. But Ford is credited, same with Woz.
You are right, however the 6502 was created by former Motorola engineers. What is ironic is that the 68000 on the Mac was chosen even though it was more expensive than other processors at the time.
If you plan on taking notes in class, I recommend getting the smallest laptop you can afford and then getting a Monitor and keyboard for your use in your room. The 12in iBook is a good value, but depending on your school, you might want to check if getting a Windows compatible machine is worthwhile.
I bet a box of donuts that if you took in a external 2.5in hard drive they will have no idea that it is a hard drive. You can tell them that its a palm rest.
If the security wouldn't know that an iPod is also a hard drive, how would they know that you are carrying a hard drive in the first place. Security guy, what is that I keep music on it. Okay go ahead.
Most folks talk a lot better English when they're communicating with me, simply because they know that they'd not get a response - or that they'd get their English corrected.
It should be most folks write or speak a lot better. And you are a dick. Thanks.
Not everyone has broadband. Even if you do have broadband, many people use DSL which averages around 768kpbs. You have a video Ipod, you are on a business trip, but no computer, you go to Blockbuster (BB) to download a movie. Some people like going to video stores to talk to video people. BB storefront is a dying model. If BB can get some sort of cross licensing, they can install BB branded kiosks at airports, movie theaters, shopping malls, etc.
I can see, the value of it, but I don't think it will work for quite a few reasons. Mostly because I can''t really see Apple partnering with another company.
I guess a lot to me is people that buy laptops for personal use will more likely buy a Vaio than a Dell as you can't buy Dells in big box stores, and the casual user will more likely pick a computer that looks "cute" than does not.
As others have pointed out. Windows XP is a point release. Windows 2000 is NT 5.0 and Windows XP is NT 5.1 and Server 2003 is 5.2. And I'm pretty sure that the upgrade from 10.0 to 10.1 was free. But I agree that the point releases break way too much software from release to release.

Yeah, more likely, they will release a Halo 2.1 with some extra eye candy that runs native on 360 and maybe an additional mini level.

Isn't it dual core so its like running two 1.83GHz processors at once? I know you can't add processor amounts to get 3.7.
More likely it will be Vista vs OsX app. Ah who am I kidding. Insert meme here.

Television shows have gotten 70% much better.

City is called Turin in English, but NBC for some reason decided to call the city Torino. If you watch the CBC, they still call it Turin.
Best pron fruitcake analogy ever.

I have a thinkpad without firewire and is relatively new.
I don't think so, a lot of people buy Vaios and Macs because they look "cute".
I guess they are not Canadian. Mod me, not so smart.
Canada now has Zap cars, which are rebranded Smart cars. Good job Canada!
