If it was a PowerPC-based Mac with internals done by PowerPC-partner then I'd wait. Seeming this is designed by Intel with way way more in debt experience making personal computers I wouldnt worry as much. The external casing is still basically a tried & tested Apple Albook so I wouldnt worry too much.
If you're a pro user with a need for native Adobe & Macromedia apps then I'd wait for the universal binaries that are expected late this year or 2008. By that time OS X 10.5 Leopard is expected to be out.
This isnt just isolated to politics as religious people suffer from this as well. Why else would people insist on Intelligent Design & creationism when all facts & logic point to something else?
I do recall that a lot of the medical advancements we are enjoying today are a result of the many barbaric experiments done by Nazi scientists on their prisoners back in WWII. So are the insights they gained from their immoral experiements bad enough that we shouldnt use it on moral grounds?
Nothing new here. Sixty years ago Pope Pius XII said almost the same thing in the encyclical Humani generis: "The Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, insofar as it inquiries into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter."
Pope John Paul II reinforces this sentiment 9 years ago in an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
This is just me but a lot of this "intelligent design" bull was cooked up by a bunch of fundamentalist using their religion to cover for their ignorance.
News items like these makes me proud to be part of the Roman Catholic Church.
I met a lot of weirdos on IRC who changed my life. I kinda shunned the real world for IRC for awhile. I'm repeating the cycle by being a forum addict... My channel on Undernet was taken over by some bots and all my users evaporated and left. Now #Zobel has been abandoned by bots and no one chats there anymore. All the school kids these days are into Yahoo!Chat
One reason most peoplel like paper-based books is because we've experienced it and can make comparisons to eBooks. Once everyone who has experienced paper are gone and the cost of creating ebooks is far below that of a regular paperback then we'll see eBooks flourish. As much as I like electronics the feel of paper is better than an ebook.
Based on the amount of work being outsourced to developing nations like India/China/Philippines I'm guessing most US-based IT workers are lazy for the money they're being paid to do work for.
I was surprised by this because...

Being able to run MS Office and other business software (too many to even try to mention) helps in making Macs acceptable in the corporate environment. It also doesnt hurt that is far more secure and stable than Windows. Industrial design of Macs are big plus too seeming image is very important in any business. The thing is though migrating to Macs should be done by those who are ready for the switch. Imposing a change of computing environment to people who're barely grasping Windows or too scared of advances may not work out.
Within the next year they will begin delivering a video streaming service that will carry Internet security news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the executive in charge of AT&T Labs.
I didnt know Microsoft was putting up another channel dedicated for Windows.

Other than playing games & 3D apps that a small fraction of users use having a Open GL-accelerated desktop makes having a 3D card more than a luxury.

Don't use Windows. :)
Might be the propensity of Brits to take a lot of drugs?

I hope they dont allow badly drawn kids shipping whales up to the moon but I hope they keep the really cheap launch fees.
People should unplug their appliances? Switch the main circuit breakers for a total stop of consumption...
;)
Heck maybe they should buy Macs with better performance per watt.

Could anyone convert the Real stream into MP3 and torrent it?

This isnt news anymore. It's history! History for nerds... Stuff that doesnt matter anymore.
We got boat loads of engineers without jobs. :) For the love of God dont send more jobs to India or China.
Wasn't this a storyarc on the Uncanny X-Men comics back in the 80s? All we need now are mutants.

By the time he comes out he could buy himself an Intel-based Mac and easily relearn computers all over again.

I'd get one if and only if it has Xvid or Divx support. Quicktime's nice and all but most content worth watching are for Xvid or Divx.
So what else is new? Windows has flaws... NEWS! Windows has new patches... NEWS! Must be a slow day at slashdot...
