I'm in Marketing and Communication (yes, I know, I'm not an engineer...don't shoot me) and I use a Precision 490, 2ghz dual 5130 Xeon, 2gb RAM, Quadro NVS 128, two 20" UltraSharps (non-wide, total desktop real-estate: 3200x1200), etc.
For all intents and purposes it's Mac Pro without OS X, without the pwetty case and without a second Xeon. Having used Macs the only thing missing is the Color preferences item which comes as a PowerToy for XP anyway. All the Adobe apps run exactly the same on Mac as they do on Windows.
For designers who go through school using solely Macs, that's what they like to work with. It's ingrained in their little psyches.
Absolutely. Adding Image Stabilization to a lens usually doubles its value, anything that makes it cheaper is all good in my book.
Image stabilization reduces or removes the effect of camera shake when using longer exposure times. One can get 1 or 2 full f/stops of light out of a lens by using Image Stabilization. If you take a photo at anything under 1/30 of a second with a short (under 90mm focal length) lens you can expect some amount of camera shake while shooting hand held. Image Stabilization will allow you to shoot a little slower and lets you stop down your lens to produce a sharper image.
You see Image Stabilization on longer (telephoto) lenses usually because the higher the magnification will magnify the effect of a moving flim/sensor plane (EG camera).
IS works by hooking a couple of gyros into a computer on the lens. This computer then uses various algorithms to predict the small movements of the lens. This then moves around an interior element of the lens to compensate for the shake. In camera stabilization works in much the same way, except it moves the sensor itself rather than a corrective lens element.
I know you're telling the truth but do you mind sharing *why* you feel this way? This comment doesn't deserve an "Insightful" rating unless he can back it up.
So far, Microsoft will use the new approach only in the UK, Dhaliwal said.
So, MS is only targeting medium-ish businesses in the UK, after multiple letters and some data-mining techniques on their own data? What order of scare-mongering BS is this? Way to go article summary writer, you've just blown this article out of proportion. Have a gold star, courtesy Microsoft.

What exactly does this have to do with the conversation at hand?
Who TF is "Hillery?"
Or Informative, your choice. I could use a little Karmapickmeup. A little injection bawlz if you will.
Oh...and farming gold? Anything goes as an (MMO)RPG these days I guess.

You must be new here...
Colibri. Although not as good as quicksilver it can at least open applications and is really fast once started.
Yes but I don't see Steve Ballmer sprouting wings and gaining lift.
Ergo, the swine are not flying yet.
In France, no one can record your screams...
HOMER: What are you inferring?
LISA: I'm not inferring anything. You infer; I imply.
HOMER: Well that's a relief.

Right. Aren't all public officials strapped for cash and/or "ethically challenged?"
Apple is more like Volkswagen.
Hip. Cool. Great marketing. Fun to drive.
Yet, on the inside, it's still an air-cooled piece of trash.
Now that's what I call cold (and stiff) turkey...

If you're going to throw around gross generalizations, at least get the country right. You're thinking of the Netherlands.
Security by obscurity...isn't.
I would've thought 10 million gallions of Pepto-Bismol would've done the trick.
Oh well.
No, no, no! iPlayour.
Do not taunt Happy Fun AJAX...
Summary is way off base...

Brilliant! I think I'll patent it...
Imagine if someone hi-jacked that 25% and installed Folding@Home on them...
Apparently, the person who modded the parent as "off-topic" is obviously a part of the *other* 82% of Americans who use the Intarweb.
Oh...you mean like these?
