The 'mainstream' Western theories of 'multiple waves' are all talking about multiple waves from Northeastern Asia.
Someone mentioned the correlation between genetic markers found in South America and Australia... (Australia has been populated at LEAST as long as modern Humans have existed, if not before) Which sounds more likely that populations originating in South Asia/Australia (The Southern Sea Basin) could have migrated either around Africa, or across the Pacific, to reach the Americas.
Hawaiian legends speak of 'little people' they encountered when the Polynesians first came to Hawaii, that were mostly killed/disappeared. Like the Indonesian caves holding 'pygmy' skeletons.
Early reports of European invaders in Central America spoke of "black people" distinct from the "red people" they were encountering in the rest of the area (Mexico, Caribbean).
Almost every statement by Osama bin Laden published on the Internet, to name only one example, is first made public by SITE and IntelCenter. They find the statements in the confusion of Web sites associated with al-Qaida, and within seconds they have sent the first screen shots to their subscribers.
Isn't the language in this article revealing?
They're talking about PROGRANDA STATEMENTS put out by terrorist groups - which are useless UNLESS they are PUBLICLY disseminated. These guys just read the newspaper. Something MILLIONS of other people do, except those other people are A) BROWN B) MUSLIM C) NOT ZIONIST ENOUGH.
This is just emblematic of the attitude that "it doesn't count", "hasn't been discovered", until a white man has done it, like Christopher Columbus 'discovered' America for the White Man (a true statement if it's premise is included). Every media outlet of every political slant in Arab countries/Pakistini is aware of this info AT LEAST AS QUICKLY as these groups, and likewise provide their own "analysis" (Who wants to bet that SITE/IntelCenter's "analysis" significantly diverges from native writers?)
And it should be noted that SITE/IntelCenter is NOT making their translated info/analysis available to THE PUBLIC, they're making it available to their (Zionist-Apartheid-supporting) Government/Corporate clients, who then publicize this info TO THE EXTENT IT SERVES THEIR INTERESTS. This is just out-sourcing of CIA intelligence gathering, these guys' job is based on accepting the world view of the CIA/Western Imperialists.

Apple doesn't compete on the low-end scale, so that is the reason why PCs are much more common; you can buy a nice Athlon 64 box for $600 or more (depending on the specs), or a decent Celeron M laptop for the same price. They are quite capable machines, and they run Windows/*nix very well. Apple would make a big sweep if they competed on the low end (imagine a $300 Mac Mini to counter those Dell $299 specials, or a $699 MacBook with a Core Solo processor). Not everybody needs a dual core laptop, for example.
This is what is so absurd about all these price complaints... SIMILAR SPEC'D MACHINES from Apple aren't any significant amount more than other OEM PCs (and certainly ONLY comparing to Dell is absurd, given that the majority of PCs are NOT Dells (still), and IBM/HP/Toshiba continue to do OK)
The only difference is that Apple is ONLY using Core Duo chips (and now Woodcrest), which is definetly a MID-RANGE chip. It is obvious that there was a decision at Apple to standardize on Core architecture, with SSE3 instruction set (if you check out the x86project, they need all sorts of hacked patches to run OSX on pre-SSE3 chips (which they do anyway)).
...So Apple will be stuck in the segments they currently compete in until Intel moves Core into all their product lines. Although Core Solos are currently for sale, they are only the 1-core defects, which might not be reliable for a large-volume product... When Intel releases the Core Solo as a real item, perhaps we'll see Apple take that opportunity to re-approach the $400 desktop/$700 laptop market, in which case, there's no complaints.
and until then, feel free to check out osx86project for PC models that have high OSX compatability!
Yeah, I was trying to point out how this "rest of the world" market
is for the most part alot more price sensitive than the Core Markets (whatever you want to call them)
I guess that I see the opportunity for Apple to take on a larger chunk of computer users world-wide by simply continuing to offer the same "power levels" as the current Mac mini, as Intel's new chips increase their power. It seems that even in the US, 75% of people have no need/desire for more power than what the Mac mini offers right now, so as that level of power becomes more standard/ lower in Intels' product range, they're no reason for Apple to take that opportunity to go ahead and take on that "$400" range of computers.
Obviously pirated Windows/ Linux white boxes, are going to be the ultimate low price point, but the Dells and HPs seem to be holding their own OK so far in these countries (that I have seen), and they are obviously paying for Windows licences.
Obviously, it is not going to be profitable for Apple to start it's own distribution and retail channels in every tiny poor country, but as it certainly seems that the vast majority of growth in the computer market will be happening in poor(er), overseas countries, it seems insane not to make the minimum reasonable effort to make sure their product is out their to compete on it's own merits... Which would seem to just entail continuing to put out their current low end products, while perhaps reviewing their current distro agreements to be more effective...
Apple seems to be doing well with market share in the US,
whatever the 12% figure really means (retail vs. total computers, etc)
but what they really need to look after is their world wide numbers...
If you go to any country thats not in the USA-Western Europe-Australia-Japan club,
macs are ridiculously rare... And EVERYONE uses MSN messenger, etc... (I just got back from Mexico)
In many cases, this is partly the fault of bad distribution, which means
alot of mark up by the local (non-Apple) distributors
(yes, in the modern, global, internet era, if you don't have US/EU credit card, you don't count)
...but also, because Apple still has yet to even try to make offerings at the
truly low level of computing...,
Now with MacIntels, you can compare Apple to Apple:-) but if you look at, say, the MacMini they're using Core Duo's, those are NOT what's going into the 300 or 400 Dells and whiteboxes, but is more of a mid-level processor...
...hopefully, once the next gen Conroes and Meroes are standardized, Apple can continue offering the Core Duo machines at a lower price point to compete in the true low end market... I really think they just decided to standardize completely on the Core architecture, including SSE3, so hopefully as the current Mac mini Core Duo CPUs are dropped in price by Intel, they can keep offering the same power level at lower and lower price points.
... If you're interested in playing Windows games,
it looks like the WINE lib is coming along pretty well for
being ported to MacOS, so once that happens, you can play them
thru the native MacOS drivers...... and isn't there binary compatability extensions, so that
Linux apps can run under MacOS as well?
I would say go for it, especially with the new Merom chips
certainly about to be put into distro before the end of August...
With this technology, rogue nations and other terrorist organizations can't time and wait for our spy satellites to pass by and not have their nefarious schemes being watched.
Hopefully this will also speed up the time the intelligence agencies can spy on a place when a crisis or situation occurs.
How does one start a 'vote on this topic' counter thru the forums?
... I mean, Who really thinks these are "our" military spy satellites?
But gotta love testing these on the ISS, all that peaceful uses of space NASA is all about...
