I just visited the Apple online store and saw the web page shown here (I tried accessing it repeatedly but the result was the same).

Maybe the Apple store is being updated for the new iPod? :rolleyes:
ProMac, anyone? :p
Or is this a routine maintenance thing? :confused:

I like firefox. It is much more functional and much faster than safari. However, it eats my cpu big time so i mostly use safari.
Oh and did i mention that firefox always hangs on me?

The BBC support for Apple comes from their old support of Acorn.
Yes, yuk... as a Sinclair kid that used to really p*** me off in the 1980s.
Funny how times change.

i mean im all for new powerbooks and upgrades of older systems,
but a measly 200 Mhz speed bump in a laptop that is more than a year old.
i just find this disappointing.
I mean apple has now come out with a pretty revolutionary software system that takes advantage of powerful processors to help run your power intensive applications, but without the power behind it what good is it?
all this in a laptop that will still probably top out at what $3500?
i mean i just feel that with the lagging speeds of the G4 it will be harder and harder to compete with X86 units when they at least double in the same amount of time.
add in the fact that we probably won't even see the "G5" until what 9 months at the very very earliest?
okay im just ranting now, but thoughts?
200 Mhz is not what it is...the 800 Mhz model is only 7
months old.
Here are the release dates to refresh your memory
11/5/2002 ? 933 Mhz/ 1 Ghz - a 266/200 Mhz increase in 7 months
4/2002 667/ 800 Mhz - a 117/133 Mhz in 6 months
10/2001 550/667 Mhz - a 150/167 Mhz in 9 months
1/2001 400/500 Mhz
Not to mention 4/2002 model made the Level 3 cache more.
That is no 200 Mhz increase on a model OVER a year old. Let's get our facts straight!
Goodness...Apple's latest upgrade would be the biggest in so short a period of time.

Like others I have some computers on all of the time. I have two linux boxes and it is easy to run folding in the background and I can never tell. In fact on my Slackware machine I don't even use a GUI, so I have folding on one terminal window and I use Telnet and IRC on other telnet windows. That is about all the Slackware machine does so it can handle a little folding.
Regardless of if my systems make a difference, or I score very many points, I could possibly be doing some good and I have contributed to the team and I think it would be neat to build a Folding cluster of old Macs and Linux boxes.

Other Web sites such as Westpac and Citibank -- which use browsers as a conduit for online transactions -- have similar restrictions.
Interesting, I use Westpac (although I'm in NZ, not Australia), and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with Safari.

I have mudded for for 10+ years and I have enjoyed interacting with other players and occasionally teaming up to get something accomplished. But, I enjoy being able to do my own thing as well.
I have had the game stashed away in my desk drawer for nearly a year (it was on sale for $20 at Fry's so I picked it up) so I may go ahead and give it a whirl.

I will be surprised of new PBs come before MWSF. The Apple Store shows 3-5 day shipping and has this promo going:
Power Couple Promo: From October 11, through December 31, get up to $400 back via mail-in rebate when you purchase a qualifying PowerBook computer along with a 17-inch, 22-inch, or 23-inch Apple flat-panel display.

Hey c'mon, there's exactly no more heat on a Powerbook than on any other Computer. Yes, you can feel thermal properties on a 1 inch thin computer (1 inch includes the flip up display by the way).
I use a PB 800 MHz - 60 GB - with 1 GB RAM. Yes I feel thermal properties but it is nothing to worry about at all. If your totally stressed about some people complaining about an electronic device displaying thermal properties, take Apple's word for it and don't listen; or take my word that these people are the same people who complain that their fridge is warm on top, or that the water tastes funny.
After hours of use, or after leaving it on for days and days, I can fold the PB up into sleep mode and put it in my Brenthaven Titanium 1 carrying case along with my Canon Optura 200 MC DV Camcorder and all the chargers, batteries, and cords that connect them and the total weight is just about 10 lbs (around 4.5 Kg metric).
I used to use a PC, but beleive you me, now I think they're PP. My name is BenderBot1138 and I'm very cool using my Powerbook. :D

i could very well be a 13 year old instead of the middle aged engineer everyone thinks i am, or i could be the washed out rocker who almost made it but didn't, or i could be spikey
but i suspect from some of the comments i have seen here in the last two years, there are some really young ones on these forums under age 13 judging from what my young nephews brag about concerning the internet

Well they could...
However it would be a pain in the ass and more importantly you couldn't take a picture of it and have it look that good...
Possible, but a big waste of time.

90% of my work is done in PhotoShop. Without it I'd be lost. So I'd have to say Adobe. Now if only I could get my company to drop Quark for InDesign . . .
I dont know why, but I've always preferred fireworks to photoshop. I guess it's because I dont do particularly graphics intensive stuff, and I always found photoshop to be more confusing than fireworks.
oh well, everyone to their own :)

That when you do things like this, it hurts apple. Apple has a market to protect. If people keep doing this enough until the RIAA gets pissed and won't let apple sell music any more. It's just like complaining that apple hass had to change their DRM policies. It's not apple that is doing it, it's pressure from the Recording Industry. Apple has to walk an extremely fine line, and they do a goo djob of it, so those folks need to lighten up.

The Totoku-made IBM LCD monitor in the above posts has a list price of $9,000 US. For that price you could buy TWO big Formac 2010s AND an Apple 23"--and still have enough left over for a brand new Dual 867mhz tower and the extra video support for the monitors. Heck, if you go with just one Formac 2010 and one Cinema HD 23", you could almost get a 1.25 dualie AND FCP3 (academic) for $9,000.
And 3840 x 2400? Wouldn't that render you hopelessly eyestrained after a while? What is that equivalent to in per inch pixel density? It might be useful in slick presentations in boardrooms or used occasionally by CAD engineers to delve into the guts of a drawing, but for the average 8-10 hrs/day graphic designer or video editor it would be eyewateringly painful to use unless you dumb it down to a lower resolution--then what's the point of owning one?
Still, progress is always good, and anything that lights a fire under the folks in Cupertino is great by me.

Now..how long before someone eliminates the need to actually burn a CD to make this all work? :p
Just use iTunes to convert the WAV to an MP3 or AAC (or lossless or AIFF etc). Burning to CD is a wasted step in this entire process.

This is great news - by removing the DRM I can play my music on any device I like. It is my music after all. The music industry needs to get used to the idea that you should really only sell a track once to each user, not one track for each device the user wants to play that track on.
Apple and the music industry in general will continue to rake in the $$$ regardless of this development - the real threat to the industry was always P2P, not sales.

"Currently this project supports all but the photo, 4G, U2, and Mini iPods"
In other words, only 1G-3G. But it's still really cool--there are new graphical games you can run and everything--and not lose Apple's own iPod OS either, you get the choice of that or a Linux-based GUI.
I hope they get it working on the latest iPods soon. Color would be too cool!

:D The antisocials. Geez.
To be fair, I actually liked the social atmosphere of a guild more than I liked the practical implications. I enjoyed interacting with people of decent intelligence (especially in the first non-raiding guild I was in, which was mostly just real life friends and their clan buddies who'd all known each other for years).
