The way that you described C++, tells me where you are coming from - you don't know enough to do so. And NO, I didn't go to the same tech school as you!
Your definition of "real world" is a lot different to ours.
Its a shame that most of the new OS X dev work is done using Objective-C and not C++. Most of the OS X developers would not be able to take advantage of Intel's optimizations. I wonder whether Apple would bundle this compiler with XCode? Probably not.
Oh really!? In that case the comment about not using older versions of Firefox is moot? So why is everyone going on about using Firefox (old or new)? Looks like there is no escape for average Windows users.
I tend to put the volume right up when I am in the subway, just to hear my music over everything else thats going on. But I dont realize how loud I play my music until I get to work and start listening at the same volume level.
I tried out a pair of noise cancelling ear buds from Sony and they werent that impressive either. I intend to invest in a good pair of head phones thats offers some kind of noise cancalation after. Reading all the horror stories.
I have been using Cocoa with Obj-C for a while now, had to switch over from Carbon due to lack of new additions in the Carbon front. I feel quite fustrated due to the lack of C++ support from Apple. Obj-C++ is there but its treated like a distant cousin. I wold like to introduce Macs to my work environment, we need high performance computing all the way. But the lack of a proper high performace language is a real show stoper for me.
Am I missing the something here? I would like hear what others have to say about this.
In the next 3 - 5+ years I think editors like Emacs will die a natual death. If you want to edit a simple text file in a *nix environment, emacs is overkill. But if you are working on a complex project, the IDE that are available today offer a lot more than Emacs.
I used to be a heavy gvim user, but I find myself using it less and less. On my Mac I use Xcode and Eclipse IDE.
Question 1: What happened to the PowerPC's supposed performance advantage over Intel?
Its not so much of a performance problem, rather a heating issue. The lack of a G5 PowerBook is little bit of a problem for a company that its dependent on its notebook sales for market share.
Question 2: What happened to Apple's 64-bit operating system?
Did anyone really say that Apple is going to be using 32-bit Intel processors?
Question 3: Where the heck is AMD?
They are more or less the same as IBM. Great server processors. Not a lot on the notebook side.
Question 4: Why announce this chip swap a year before it will even begin for customers?
What the fuck is the chip supposed to run without developers providing software for it.
I thought that this guy knew what he was talking, with his iTunes Video talk. Hmm?
Well APPLE is a common name too, but that doesn't stop Apple Computer from going after anyone who uses the word "Apple".
I think its a bit silly these companies trying to sue each other for trivial name uses. No one with half a brain is going to be confused with the respective product identities.
There was something missing, it wasn't good as the book or the audio book. Perhaps I should have curbed my high expectations. The animation was excellent, it was well made. Worth seeing. My just my 42 cents.

For those who are ranting about FF. Read the article, says that older versions of Opera and FF are vulnarable too - on Windows ofcourse.

Check Microsoft's answer to Google Earth. The brid's eye view is amazing. It will pose a big challenge to Google.
Check out Microsoft's come back.
There was rumor on ThinkSecret about this, I cant believe its true!
