Quote: I watch a video in Flash and it uses 80% cpu and same video in Quicktime uses 30%. If you support Flash, you associate yourself with crap. There are things called hardware acceleration these days. How much web video content is in quicktim…

Quote: YouTube and Vimeo both work in Safari without Flash player now. Becuase those are the only sites I use on the internet? Really? I could see the rational on an iPhone, on a much larger screen like this, the reasoning for not having Fla…

Quote: To me, that is the big story. Once again the iMac is hobbled by its GPU. Remember those financials Apple released yesterday, know why they were so good? Because Apple still pulls the same BS. Do you want the best video card available in a…

The server version is DOA. I agree with some of the others. Its a shot at Windows Home Server and it fails. The form factor truly limits its expandability. Its design is completely counter productive to the server market. Small proprietary cases …

Finally... I've been waiting to buy for 3 months.... maybe they'll finally add the magnetic latch with this revision.

Apple does provide the best solution to downloadable HD content, I will not concede that it is capable of competing with the optical disc formats. For a casual user (i.e. the guy who thinks up converted crap is HD) it will do fine, but I would tend…

It's quite common for public universities to hold patents. I goto Michigan State, and pretty much anything I create while in a class or at the university for an academic work, if it gets patented the University owns the patent, and if they license i…
