  • Or maybe, just maybe, the PowerMac is the Power version of the iMac. (or rather that the iMac is the consumer version of the PowerMac). The name will stick around for a while. The G4 was added to differentiate it from the Power Macintosh G3, alth…

  • Oh my god. I just hate it when people let morons speak in public. You are allowed to not like Apples. That's an opinion and you're allowed to have it. But at least do the most basic of basic homework before you spout off about it in public. My…

  • There is a gap, and it is annoying for the exact reasons cited. The really annoying thing is that the gap happens all the time, even between two fully buffered songs. The rather long gap while the iPod pre-buffers the next 32MB is more understandabl…

  • I may just have to saunter over to MacStation and check this out (about a 10m walk). I'll be sure to bring my airhorn and digital camera

  • Sherlock would be a great app for me if it just had movie listings or yellow pages for canada. Oh well, maybe another release. Basically, this just boils it down to a fancy google. Just like google, only way slower.

  • So far my experience with Mail 1.2 has been dismal. This is entirely due to the fact that the app crashes every time (and I do mean every time) I attempt to view an email with an attachment. And, of course, it loses all spam filter rules I've put…

  • I was in a local reseller yesterday playing with the Speed Holes 867. It is ludicrously fast compared to my Cube 450 but no where near as cool Anyways, as I was paying for my new iPod at the counter the fan came on in the 867. I was a good 20 …

  • Wow, six pages of comments and nobody's looked at this upgrade in terms of Moore's Law yet. If you shrink Moore's Law down to the 6 month scale the increase is, well, 25%. 1.0GHz -> 1.25GHz = about 15-20% improvement (ish) 133 FSB -&g…

  • Cube 450. 512MB RAM. 10.2. Max. 1320 Scratch that. Had SETI running in the background and forgot about it. Max 1714. Now I have to wonder why SETI made such a difference. Does OSX truly not understand the meaning of "nice 20"? [ 08-23-2002…
    in 7.6 GigaFLOPS - How about you? Comment by justaguy August 2002
  • An interesting possibility is this: a supported wine-on-osx (win32 apis ported to X) won't help you run x86 code at all, but it would be a big boost for developers that have an eye on porting their win32 apps to OSX but don't want a lot of hassle...
