One more thought - Intel could have two shipment schedules. One for "anybody" willing to implement their new "showcase" technologies "the early adopter program". "Switch to EFI BIOS and get the first shipments of X." "Implement our DRM chipset an…

Baloney. This would mean Apple doesn't have a cohesive development plan in place and that they don't know what Intel's schedule is. Sure, they may have asked for chips early (what can it hurt?) but they will certainly have a Yonah-based machin…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross SSE doesn't equal Altivec. Even SSE3 which so far, I believe, only AMD supports isn't the same thing. SSE3 can do much of what Altivec does. Altivec still has some advantages, but for a large percentage o…

Welcome Home, Newton. I guess the calendaring ad this late in the game means the Hula Server integration into OS X Server won't make it before X.5.

Wait - the iPod was released October 23, 2001. The 3rd party patent in question was applied for May 2002. How is the iPod not prior art?

This fits with HP's strategy of becoming a better Dell than Dell. Microsoft will have them at their knees, and HP will say, "Sir, Yes, Sir". Because they think that's the key to Dell's success. At this point Dell is branding their own printers,…

They do have one valid point - I was driving past the Walnut Creek store the other night and the Apple logo is so bright it lights up the street in front of the store. Almost glaring for a driver. It's un-Apple in its non-subtleness. It's Micro…

Good. A guy who works for Pizza Hut then Gateway and now a sweatshop-clothing importer isn't the kind of guy we want at Apple. He's better off selling sugar-water.

There's no problem with having a 'Pro' two-button mouse as an option, but the day they ship it as standard they lose a huge market of people recovering/avoiding RSI problems. One-button is nice on the tendons. The only problem is that if they bl…

Well, clearly he's responsible for not getting the Powerbook G5 out last Tuesday, that was the job he didn't do. But he did get me my Mac Mini, and it rocks. Good job, man!

There are a bunch of developers at Apple who are reading this story and laughing their asses off right now. If there's any weed involved they might end up hurting themselves laughing.

This isn't about making more money - it's about making CD's seem more attractive compared to downloads. It's about killing music downloads. This is what's known as the death throes of an industry. Too bad Apple's stuck in the middle.

So close. They should have gotten Ashlee Simpson to do the ad - she could have opened the wrong bottle of Pepsi and then did a jig and blame her band for it.

Wait, first it says it's Myrinet connected, then it says it's ethernet connected. So it's both?

This house made the back page of This Old House Magazine last month. It's getting plenty of attention, should anybody want it. Heck, I have no use for the house, but I wouldn't mind going over and taking out some of the mosaic murals and detail …

If you were thinking of leaving Apple, a 4-year high on the stock is a good time to cash out all of your options...

I guess that means we'll see AACPlus at MacWorld too. At 24K a 1GB iPod Flash could hold nearly as much music as the original iPod could. http://www.telos-systems.com/?/aacplus/default.htm

PostScript? Do we have Display PostScript again? That would be too cool - maybe this is just a ps2pdf by safari.
