    When you build a page "by hand," you can preview it in a browser and see what it all looks like together. Easier to catch problems that way.



    When you use a content management system, you upload all the files "loose" to the staging server and then preview it online. It's a lot easier to miss mistakes unless you have a rigorous proofing system in place- a system that I presume has broken down under pressure these last couple of days.




    ok i could be wrong with the fact that the images are built with the wrong font-style.



    but:

    modern content-management-systems provide the ability to have a preview by standard. (what can you do with web-objects?) also a company like apple for sure has an internal testserver (or two) with the same configuration as the online-servers. there they can preview and test as much as they need to. the process of bringing contents online should be made with a system that reflects the data from the last internal server to the ones in the web. these way you shouldn't be able to (accidently) put just one picture to the main server...



    iSegway could be right -> planned!

    I think Apple has lost this one to the momentum of the internet. Somehow I feel a little sorry for Steve/Apple because I want them to get all the media-blitz they can in order to put a dent in the Wintel self-assured confidence.



    Anyhoo, these boxes will float my boat for sure.






    From The Register article:-



    Something seems to be happening on the PowerBook front, at any rate. One reseller was told this week that his order for a number of 15in PowerBooks was cancelled by Apple, notification of which was appended with a comment that he should wait until Monday... ®



    I'll have one of the new ones please

    Something just occured to me;



    I'd still buy this new dual box if it were G4's. Seriously, I know everyone's hyped about the 970's but is would be interesting to know if an G4-class version of this box would "beat" an P4...just thinking.

    The ONLY Mac web site it seems that doesn't link to this is Mac OS Rumors. Ryan Meader will evidently be on the street for another few days selling his body to support his crack habit.



    A G4 box with all those features would not be faster. The G4 processor is data starved by an extremely crappy (for desktop use) 167MHz bus. Compare this to the ONE-FREAKIN'-GHZ bus in the new Macs and... you get the picture

    You know, I had to skip to the last page here FINALLY because you idjits keep posting faster than I can read! By the time I got to page 3 there were TWO NEW PAGES! Never seen a thread to that before in all my years at AI.



    Amazing.



    Amazing specs.

    I say it was a controlled leak, to get more buzz going. Notice that no photo was realeased. Why the only specs... because to Apple, it's the looks more than the tech specs. that will set this thing apart. The tech specs are all mostly catch-up to the PC world.

    How can a 1ghz bus speed be "catch up?"

    Riffling is a way that you shuffle cards, or quickly flip through a book. Rifling is to rummage through things (in a drawer), often leaving them messy. That other word is a strange construct of your mind.

    A giveaway that the G5 CPU pics posted here is phoney is that the displays are the same as they are now. There are reports of brand-new designs for the displays. Nice try.
