also he quotes that the processor wasn't a shipping processor. therefore a LAB processor. wonder what else they have in the labs that will/has not seen the light of day! remember the 1 inch sq. glass cube that can hold a terabyte or more of data? 10 yrs. ago and only on a light bench in a lab. that and the laser fills a small room. "dinglephart" also left out the fat binaries that Jobs was talking to the developers about that holds both x86 and PPC code.
true, but lets not forget IBMs' history for dropping the ball. PC, OS/2 (gates wrote v1.0). now they piss off apple by not improving the g4,g5 chips fast enough. doesn't sony,ms and nintendo take that as a possible warning that when they want more power that IBM will just drag their feet again?
Your right! I stand corrected! I usually don't use that method to merge directories, call me old-fashioned. but my point about installing software on linux stands. many times have i done the internet easter egg hunt to install a program on linux to just find out that the dependencies i need to install clashes with libraries i already have. and forcing the install ususally broke other things. on mac "it just works", ( i hated that phrase when it came out too!). and building from source was the same headache with linux, but not so for mac. if it wasn't i would have stayed with linux.
i wonder if this is just a ploy by Jobs to get IBM off of their stupid asses and start being players in the CPU marketplace. IBMs' dropping the ball on the original PC, OS/2 (remember, Gates wrote v1.0), and now pissing off Apple by not evolving the PPC chip as fast as they could be might make sony, ms, and the other console company (sorry, can't recall the third one) rethink their option to use the PPC in their products.
Hmm. what part of the "replace" warning message has you confused? i switched FROM linux to mac because of the dependency hell that comes when one wants to install software from some other source than the distro one is using. until the linux community changes this, linux "taking over" the desktop will be just a wet dream! (and i used to HATE Macs! now i own one!)
