Can Adobe make themselves look any dumber?

Can someone please explain to me Adumbe's Math. How can 54 Seconds be represented on a Graph at half the speed of 1 Minute 25 Seconds?

So, 3.06 Ghz is the fastest PC now? I guess the review was just before the availability of the 1.42s
maybe the dell figures were done by stoner dell guy
pretty ugly text for adobe to be proud of the graphics

Haha!! Someone needs to go back to school.
What do they call the seconds between 0.6 and 1.0? The 'let's add 40 seconds per minute because it's a Mac' time?
1 minute is NOT 100 seconds!

Of course, the punchline is that AE isn't dual processor savvy, so the results you're seeing are a single G4 against that Pentium. So basically what Adobe is trying desperately to cover for here is the fact that they haven't done jack to get their production apps optimized for the Mac.
"Switch platforms so that we don't have to go to the trouble of improving our codebase! Please!"
But, it just goes to show what happens when you start bleeding market-share.
Quark, lazy bastards, always been, fine.
Adobe? Used to be the cornerstone of the mac, if adobe worked anywhere, this is where it's supposed to work best, does it? nope.
Makes you wonder.

The top of the line computer has an 18 gig hard drive and costs $2999!
Also the top of the pages claims the computers costs as little as 699 even though they are listed as 1169 below.
Adobe links to this page from their "digital video" gear page

But what if you were to, say, put a chip with a fixed memory clock multiplier of 2:1, and clock it, say, around 2000Mhz? If you can get the memory to keep up, (Which I presume is the case), that's going to burn through video like a Cossack through the Light Brigade.
Even my biology teacher knew that...and she doesn't even know how to get online.
Apple put the shaft to Premier big time, is after-effects next in line? Could there be a little bit of comeupance going on here? From all accounts this isn't the only adobe app to make poor use of the DP PPC set-up. Makes you scratch your head, doesn't it? If anything, pros use DP set-ups and are most likely to buy PS, AE, Illustrator, et al, what gives?
Mebbe they can get some slack because we're really only looking at the first OSX versions of these wares, but still...
When Adobe stops caring about the mac, you have to wonder, and worry.
One can only hope they've had a huge heads up and that there are killer 32/64 bit versions waiting to grace PPC970 machines, and that basically explains the lack of DP G4 optimization.
Which is fairly impressive if it's non-MP friendly application, considering the Hz gap between both the cores and frontside buses. Surely all Adobe have to do is multithread it, or is it a problem of bandwidth (if it was, I'd expect the P4 to do much better)?
What's Apple going to say? we're way slower! and cost more too!
I'm sure PM's are very fast in a carefully selected group of tasks at a particular image size but there's no more denying it, they get spanked on the desktop, and then you look at the price !?!?! and think, well you think twice before spending more money on a mac, as recent PM sales figures show.
I though about this some time ago, nobody seems to make software run as well on the mac as Apple itself. Apple could make a fair bit of dosh making Mac exclusive PS pluggin packs. Things designed to be fully DP aware and to utilize altivec as fully as possible. Could be a good way to keep digital artists on the mac, especially if they can offer better more intuitive plug-in tools.

Yes I worry for the future of Adobe. Microsoft is 10x the foe that Adobe is. If Apple is willing to compete with the Redmond Beast then if push comes to shove they won't hestitate to do the same to Adobe.
I'd trust the vendor of the app before the builder of the box
I trust neither. There's nothing more inherently "trustworthy" in an Applications vendor versus a Hardware vendor. Each has a motive and markets to what they desire is important.
The scenario that could play out is. Apple's marketshare continues to dwindle. Adobe accelerates promotion of Wintel software or.....
Apple uses the PowerPC 970 and future incarnations to bolster it's markethare to upwards of 10%. Adobe shuts up and promotes each platform to maximize its sales.
Photoshop, Illustrator, AE and other Adobe apps are well liked for the most part but the Graphics Design is a fairly small Cross Section of the entire computing strata. Photoshop has no competitiors and enjoys it's King of the Hill status. Adobe would do well not to entice Apple into attempting to create the Final Cut Pro of Photo Editing.

Funny how graphs change when you look at another company.
there is so much propoganda with all of this. i mean, for apple to actually claim their fastest beats intel takes quite a bit of twisting.
whatever the case, take away that all computers are adequately fast. the key is finding your favorite OS and then getting hardware that will run it. Then I guess that cost thing comes into light, but that is beyond the realm of which i want to speak

That is a truly great idea!
