    Who wants to bet that Apple announces they will no longer make a tower? Actually, who want's to bet they announce that they will no longer be developing OSX for desktop computers - to solely focus on the mobile market?

    Cuz i'm willing to bet the graphics on the iSlab will outperform any Mac Pro sporting a $1000 video card by %800... just like a Commodore 64 can...



    Seriously thou... Snow Leopard is a joke. My PPC G5 from 2004 gets better video performance in some situations

    You would think that with 50 Billion a year, they could afford to put a little R&D into their flagship OS and bring it up to at least 2008 industry standards.



    Learn how to spell! CUZ is not a word! Apparently you are one of the gifted individuals that doesn't know the difference between revenue and earnings. Go back to school in the short-bus.

    What's funny is that it is wrong in the first paragraph, but correct in the second paragraph.

    Maybe they can just buy nvidia or something.

    the desk top model is obsolete

    it has been for 3 months



    the mini server killed it

    the world just went mobile

    get over it

    and yes 5obn a tear could do a lot to make the osx better

    Hmm, I didn't notice it - now I'll have to go back to the Tivo and check.



    I thought Cisco had a lot of stuff on the show too.
