OpenDic !?!? I liked the concept, but really must say that we are closer to the dream of OpenDoc today than we've ever been: Cocoa's Frameworks. There was an OpenDoc word processing module, web module (CyberDog), and a few more. Well, gee…

Are you sitting at the Mac or the PC? Are you trying to connect to the printer shared from the PC to the Mac yet? If you are in OS X Tiger, Go to the Printer setup prefpane, click on the + to start the print browser/printer setup. Click on t…

Ok, When you install the stuff on the PC, get out the fold-out how-to sheet that came with the printer. Follow it EXACTLY: The HP software can be very dogdy if you connect the printer too early. Connect it only when the directions say so. Also…

Your Mac is probably sending PostScript to the HP, which may not support it, may not support it in binary form, or may just not print right since it is an HP (grin). Are you using the printer as a network printer or as a shared usb printer? If a…

I think the odds are better than even that that there will be badges, at least on the packaging. Before Apple stopped putting the name of the products on the front of the machines, they did include the PPC logo from IBM/Mot. The badges are also l…

Yes, but Jobs won't make a technical presentation (i.e. the minutae regarding the bus, instruction sets, etc). To the degree that the changes enable Jobs to sell the new products and tease the technically minded to go to www.apple.com, I agree with …

melgross: The number of permutations that would give Apple a $999 G5 tower are almost limitless. It is not and never has been a question of could they build it. It is a question of whether they can have that unit as a part of their overall offeri…

I don't think Apple could market a $750 computer with 3 slots TODAY. Not with the PPC. Note I said "Market." Producing a machine at price is possible, but the costs of marketing might be unacceptable for AAPL. Maybe, once they are using Intel chi…

Two things: 1) USB hubs. Buy a quality hub, not a Belkin hub. Quality hubs can provide the power you need and some even let you use them so that USB 2 devices can run full speed. The VAST, VAST, VAST majority of users will never use all the ports…

Um, No 3GHz G5s.

If you want expandability, buy the Power product line. The consumer level machines are designed exactly to create a tipping point, moving people who want better video, etc, to the Power line of computers. I'm not saying I like it, just that it…

MWSF is a consumer-related show (and CES is the 5-8 of Jan.) That a Mac is running a certain processor is only relevant after the fact (meaning Jobs will announce the features of the product, not the specs). We are interested in the processor, mo…

What, then, is Apple doing to get extra goodies from Intel (marketing funding, etc)? The stickers and marketing amount to millions of dollars a year, something it would be foolish to ignore, in my opinion. Does the Intel logo come up onscreen bef…

I think maybe the point I wanted to make is being missed regarding the close integration of hardware and software: It no longer takes a lot of specialized hardware to have an Apple-quality hardware-software experience. By being able to provide…

Apple is the very model of business sense for the last 4-5 years. They did what made business sense so well that they have approaching $10 billion in cash and short term assets. You don't get that without watching every penny. It is exactly t…

First, an apology: I had intended to reply to a post in another thread, not start a new one. Sorry. Second: Stickers are only a symptom, not the real issue. The real issue is can Apple compete with a product which is not solely tied to their har…

Of course Apple is a software company! While it may be nice to visit the days of the 1980s and the early 1990s, when keying hardware to software was a process that demanded years of preparation and planning, the process is just not that difficult…

Cute, Anders. SHort answer then: Materialism: theory that may not include all the realms of existence. Eugenics: Prime example of how an idea can have NO scientific basis yet be adopted by scientists, government and the population. Bias…

First, a few notes on WHY Intelligent Design is proposed, according the scientists who have adopted it: There is a fascist body of scientists whose whole lives have been built around Natural Selection (Darwin's theory of evolution). This body is u…
