@anantksundaram is correct, the capital gains rate is due to reset to 20%, not 35% as Mikey Campbell stated in the article, unless the rate is renewed.

I have an Intel Core Duo Mac Mini, and it rocks. Needed a desktop, but did not want a big loud box, and I already had a nice monitor (and keyboard and mouse), so I bought a refurb unit from Apple. It's been an awesome machine. Very small footprin…

Hattig, you're right on the money. Once upon a time, the Itanium was beating up on the POWER4, but since the POWER5+ came out, POWER has had no competition at the high end. Note that the Itanium still beats everyone when it comes to IPC, but that …

There are already 3 Apple stores in the Portland area. The area in question on NW 23rd is a very dense neighborhood with a lot of history, and it would be quite radical to tear down an existing building and replace it with something that looks comp…

I don't completely agree with the sentiment that the Mac Mini is a bad deal. I considered "building" my own small, quiet desktop machine using A/Open or Shuttle bare bones systems and assembling an AMD or Intel box with everything, and it' really w…

I'd go with a Macbook. If you need to do a lot of programming, you may want to eventually get an external monitor and keyboard. I do this now with a 12" PB, and it's awesome - I run it in closed lid mode, which the Macbook will also do. When I nee…

I've been noticing that as well. You can get 1GB PC2-5300 SODIMMS from Newegg for under $100 each. The $300 for a pair for the Mini is reasonable, but $500 for the MB/MBP is crazy.

No, I would wait. The MBP isn't going to get you much more functionality than you already have with your current 1.67 PB. Wait until Leopard is released and get a Merom based 64-bit MBP. By that time, the next gen "VPC" will be sorted out (i.e. l…
