Obviously this person is experienced the world of PC's otherwise their first two posts would not be knocking something that we have been waiting a long time for.
Yes, PC's are loud too. PowerMac's are loud. Kick on iTunes and blast some music over a nice set of H/K's and boom. Problem solved. Or, just buy an iMac, or PowerBook.

Hey Duke, it seems you're wondering the same things as me. I did ask Shrek before as I'm just interested as he's of a similar age to me so I wanted to understand where his thoughts come from. I do love the enternal optismism though, it's a refreshing change to all the doom and gloom about.
I think the basic idea is sound enough and that it attempts to mimic the current situation of G4s and G3s. However from a marketting stand point you don't want to be calling to completely different chips the same thing. People get easily confussed and these forums clearly display this. The PowerMacs are a flagship for a reason. I don't know any manufacturer who puts their highest performing parts in their midrange machines (even for a month or two). I understand Shrek's logic and in essence the idea is ok but in practise it would never work.
Here's another though, the ibook and PowerBook (maybe imac and emac) will get speed bumps in the near future before the OS 9 restrictions are imposed, thus if this switch is hardware imposed in gives Apple a clear Window to start with introducing new PowerMacs and then filter in the other products in good time.

yet another cease and desist (http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/thermal-greasy-apple-sics-lawyers-on-something-awful-171394.php). fair use applies, which apple still doesn't understand.
"say what you want about Dell, but atleast they can apply thermal grease in a better than average fashion." - Great comment :)

You can get it on budget 'classic' label now and it's well worth picking up.
Cool, I think I'll go look for it next time I'm at Gamestop.

That is really strange. I've never noticed sponsored links at the top or bottom before tonight; they've always been on the right. I can't find any queries now that result in links on the right.

Yeah so? Your "64-bit rules" example would be done even better by AltiVec. I maintain that there is nothing all that exciting to see with regards to 64 bitness (although I like having it around).
maxvamp:
Since filesystem ops naturally deal a lot with the very very slow hard disk, I fail to see why native 64-bit numbers would make any difference at all. Well, you could count the clock cycles saved, so it is technically more than zero gain. But it's not someting I'm gona worry about.
Anyway my main apps on OSX are Mozilla, Terminal, Finder, Folding@Home, and Project Builder should I ever get time to code again. Also play WC3 and Civ3. I don't see a lot of gain from 64-bitness, but a nice PPC-970 would certainly be nice.

For a LiveCD-only type of system I might go with SLAX (http://slax.linux-live.org/). It's small (enough for a 8cm CD) distro based on Slackware. There's also a base version ("Frodo Edition") that contain little more than the console shell and drivers, and another special version ("KillBill Edition") that comes with WINE (for running the Windows F@H client).

If that's true they might as well board up the windows on 1 Infinite Loop.

I just noticed that MacRumors has now decreased to #22. It's seems that I'm the same position with decreasing in rank #166 & #20,047. All of the faster machines are making a diference in my rank position.
bousozoku the link still needs to be updated. It gives and error message when checking stats, requires another click.
Excuse me, but what link is that?

My G4 iMac folds (slowly). Been doing it for quite a while but haven't clocked up many WUs. The G4 is going soon so I won't be folding until a decent intel client arrives for use on my MacBook

A lot of companies try to emulate Apple. Helio seems to be the first one to blatantly say it. See this screenshot of their web site I took just now... what is up with that?

Finally. I'll be testing it tonight and posting a full report. The 0.10 version was where I started and that had ISSUES... but the .11 has been almost flawless. I'll go grab 0.12.

I do know. It is a scam.
Can you explain to me how it works that a non existent domain diverts to an auction company, and also how come that a check on the domain shows it as 'taken'?

Single player mostly. I just find I'd rather be doing something else than playing video games when I'm with a group of friends. Unless it's something interactive like Guitar Hero, haven't tried a Wii yet but I'm sure I'd dig that.

therefore, who knows when we'll see the firmware, and an update to itunes to encode with it...
bulls-eye!!!!!!!!!!
the iPod is nothing more than a toshiba HD and apple's iTunes software and little extras. if quicktime can do AAC, then iTunes can do AAC and soon iPod will do AAC. just wait for the firmware
