Alright, alright everyone. Don't get too excited. Jobs runs a company, he's not the second coming, fer ****'s sake.
Book of Jobs ? Chapter 1
30 - And it came to pass that [email recipient] called upon [Jobs], saying: Tell me, I pray thee, why these things are so, and by what thou madest them?
31 - And behold, the glory of the [Steve] was upon [email recipient], so that [email recipient] stood in the presence of [Jobs], and talked with him [inter]face to [inter]face. And [Jobs] said unto [email recipient]: For mine own purpose have I made these things. Here is wisdom and it remaineth in me.
32 - And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine [Tech Company], who is full of [innovation] and [style].
Aaaaa, don't feel so bad. I was under the impression that NVIDIA® manufactured these cards? But hey, I must confess that this was an assumption.
Yeah, I saw that page, but it only mentions that they are nvidia GPUs, not nvidia cards. All the (non-apple) cards that I found were manufactured by other companies. Live and learn I guess \

Ah yes, that makes more sense. Also, the revenue from units sold in 2007 would be double in 2008. [b*2] Taking this into account
brings us to 9,903,500, which is even closer. It seems like his 'prediction' is the same thing everyone else is saying.

I'm pretty sure that NVIDIA makes the GeForce cards for the Mac Pro, not Apple.
Unlike ATI, Nvidia doesn't make cards, as far as I know. What they do is have standard designs that manufacturers can use. But they have to build their own.
Which cards do you know of that are made by Nvidia?
And, those with Mac Pro's, can take a look at the cards and see who manufactured them.
You don't get the point. The new card is not compatible with EFI 32 of old macpro. Apple will release hopefully a specific efi32 version. The new one has efi 64.
I get the point. The point is that they are supposed to be compatible, EFI or not.
Alright, alright everyone. Don't get too excited. Jobs runs a company, he's not the second coming, fer ****'s sake.
Well, other than the religious aspect, he is the second coming in that this is the second time he's been running the company, and possibly, he did resurrect it.
Also, if you show up at the annual stockholders' meeting and stand in line, he does answer any questions addressed to him, and not usually in a terse fashion (in my experience): he is usually unusually gracious in responding to even the most inane question.

Steve indeed responds to emails from time to time... It's legit.
Best,

Great - so what's his email address?

Har Har, a real day brightener
Since when is a rush $2.61?
It was an intra-day rush of nearly $6.50 (approx. $153 at close of previous day, and $159.50 around noon).

[email protected] (as of a few years ago).
Also, if you show up at the annual stockholders' meeting and stand in line, he does answer any questions addressed to him, and not usually in a terse fashion (in my experience): he is usually unusually gracious in responding to even the most inane question.
