I simply don't know why people (mainly Mac users) want to compare GHz vs GHz. Either you're stupid or you've been living in a cage since AMD put out Athlon XP's. Hz doesn't matter today as much as it did a couple of years back. So what if your 2.5 GHz G5 is faster then my Athlon 2600 (it's not actually) if I have to pay $500 for AMD and $1500 for the Mac.
It's the same with graphics cards. Why compare a 128 MB card with a 128 MB card if the latter costs more. Note to idiots: We don't care about the specs on the paper. We care about the price vs performance ratio.
Funny enough, this reminds me of the Mac Mini.
You won't find this on Slashdot, but seeing how people love to pick on Windows security, I thought to let you know about this; http://www.tuaw.com/2005/04/25/mac-trojan/
Yesterday (even before OS X Tiger was released) the first Trojan for Tiger appeared. Sophos is listing a new Mac Trojan, dubbed Mac/Cowhand-A, which lets other people gain control of your Mac: "Mac/Cowhand-A is a proxy Trojan for the Mac OSX platform. The Trojan may copy itself to the user's Preferences folder. In order to run itself on startup, the Trojan may add itself to the user's Startup Items."
