Apple is contributing POWER4/970 code to GCC Do I hear a CONFIRMED?

in GCC updated for 970 and Power4... Comment by crayz May 2003

Ehh I don't really think the 20th anniversary Mac was a God system. It was a system for rich fanboys who wanted something stylin. IIRC, it only had a 200MHz 603e, not that great a processor in the day. Apple ought to build something of a 9600/350…

Not sure which version of GC started supporting it, but I think it may have been post-4.5. The new versions have definitely had some nice new stuff in them(for instance a better image browser that seems to be at least 2x faster). BTW, I also have…

I don't know about upside down, but I would suspect so. It can definitely distinguish between pictures taken w/ left and right 90° rotations. Anyway, the coolest thing about this is to just open all the images in GraphicConverter(like in a browse…

Wrong. I don't know the specifics, but I think the quarter they just announced actually ended at least a month ago. Saying that next quarter revenue will be flat does not mean no 970 at WWDC

Bullshit. I am a pessimist and I am very happy when I see my pessimism was unwarranted. If Jobs truly does introduce something incredible at MWSF I will be the first to praise it. But I am not going to pull my punches just because I happen to like M…

The scrollbar has an odd feel to it, like the scrollbar UI and the page display are slightly disconnected. It's weird. Other than that, the speeds and rendering are great. Now it just needs to be stable and get all those other features(like...prefs?…

4). If Towers and iBooks are still selling well profit margins ironically will stay high, resulting in higher earnings. WTF are you talking about? Unless they are losing money on selling iMacs, there's no way that selling fewer iMacs is gonna res…

Right. Regardless of the battery life, I want the player to hold as many songs as possible. There are often times I bring my RioVolt on a 20 min walk, but I am very glad I've got 10 hours of music on my disc, because it lets me listen to what I want…

Awesome commercial, but wtf are you doing out in Canadaigua? Working at the water park?

133/166MHz bus...sigh, why even bother? How fast might they get? 1.66GHz? Then maybe Apple could do duals, and we could have 3.3GHz of processing power on a 166MHz bus.

R&D as a percentage of sales is how you measure it. No...it isn't. Think, if Apple suddenly started selling 10x as many machines, would their R&D have to increase at all? No. So saying that Apple can't lower prices because of high R&am…

Good one. You almost guessed it. ROTFL

The simple fact is the data that is being lost w/ a high-quality LAME VBR rip is in the range that the human ear cannot hear. You people who think you can tell the difference are fools.
