  4. slot machines are protected from static shocks and on Can Static Electricity Generate Votes? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    slot machines are protected from Static shocks and other hacks and this seems like a hack job and not a static shock.

    Why can't they make voting systems that are just as hard to hack?

    I think that the NGC should look at the voting system to see how bad they are.

  11. more points and reponses to yours on OS X On the MSI Wind · · Score: 1

    1) revenue would take a big hit if people switches from Apple branded hw to others.

    Yes but they will get revenue from people buying mac os x as well people who are not buying mac due to the lack of hardware that fits them.

    2) shipping fewer units would mean higher unit costs and lower margins on those products

    Apple can come out with products that are better priced at lower margins and ship more units and mac os x shipping units will go up.

    3) support costs would go up as Apple would have to ensure it worked on a variety oh hardware combos with products they currently do not support but are common such as WiFi cards from various manufacturers, or
    4) they cut a deal with say Dell and HP but then they will need to significantly drop prices and stop update the build every time an internal component changes

    They just need to add drives for common chip sets as most chipset / video cards are based on the same base chips and with more people with mac osx that will make more drivers come out.

    5. If apple come out with a good priced desktop mid tower they you will see more mac video cards and more drivers of other pci-e cards come out.

    6. Apple needs better priced laptops the $1500 mac book black should have a bigger screen and / or a real video card. $2000 just to get a 15 screen and low-mid range video card is too high.

    7. Apple can keep the mini but drop it to $500 and put a DVDRW in the base system with a easier to open case.
