  1. Re:Jeez, guys... on MacWorld's iMac Core Duo Benchmarks Debunked? · · Score: 1

    eMachines just launched new desktops with all AMD chips. Maybe Apple will have to switch over to AMD to get real performance in upcoming Macs.

  2. Re:Price on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 1

    Jobs sold at the right time, at the peak of the market. No guarantee that the next movies Pixar comes out with are hits like the previous ones. Box office is down and DVD sales are slowing as well.

  3. Re:Not to be a dick... on Google Execs Happy With $1 Salaries · · Score: 1

    Makes all the CEOs who earn over $10 million look bad if these guys are getting only "one dollar."

  4. Re:Wow on MacWorld MacBook Only a Prototype? · · Score: 1

    Well Jobs said that they were going to start shipping in February. Guess they might end up delaying it for a couple of months.

  5. Re:Google is Sexist! on Gmail Mis.delivered? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long GMail will stay in Beta. It's been almost 2 years since it was introduced and still not open to all, unless you have a cell phone or get referred.

  6. Re:It's standardized. on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    The problem is people keep spending with these credit cards and don't have the money to pay for them. Some don't even bother reading their monthly statements.

  7. Re:Two Words . . . on Subpoena Resistance Hurts Google Stock · · Score: 1

    It's about time Google stock took a hit since it has gone up so much. However, I wouldn't be suprised if the shares went back up as fast as they came down.

  8. Re:Rules for hateful posting on Washington Post Shuts Down Blog · · Score: 1

    The Internet is a faceless place, so people think they can say anything they want without repercussion. Plus, there are a lot of people spending way too much time online.

  9. $898 for Intel iMac on What is the Intel Switch Costing Apple? · · Score: 1

    Can't understand how it would cost this much when Dell has PCs in the $400-500 range. Is the Core Duo that powerful of a processor than what's found in other PCs? I think Apple is maintaining its margins of at least $300 per machine.

  10. Re:Why bother? on Computer Science Students Outsource Homework · · Score: 1

    There was a Walmart heiress who went to USC and paid her roommate to write her papers a couple of years ago. Some kids have the money and are sent to school by rich parents. They would rather party instead of working hard.

  11. Re:It is a symbiant relationship on Search Engines Leech Value from Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Google and Yahoo are like the ABC and NBC of the Internet. Everyone goes there to find what they are looking for online. Since it is so easy to find content through these sites, it definitely cheapens everything because there is no pricing power for content if it can be found for free.

  12. Re:Radio? When will generic-casting be dead? on Google To Buy Radio Advertising Firm · · Score: 1

    Google is just trying to grab a piece of the huge advertising pie out there. They have experimented with selling magazine ads for their advertisers and now trying radio. I don't think either of these two mediums are that effective compared to search engine advertising which can be better targeted. Radio is becoming too fragmented and losing audiences to satellite and iPods.

  13. Re:The Rules on BBC Writer Responds To Mac Security Critiques · · Score: 1

    I think Mac users feel they are safe with security since they have only 5% market share and most hackers are on Windows trying to rip off most people.
