Yep, it's called sleep. I actually never put my computer to sleep, only the monitor, and it's even faster. The "my TV powers on instantly" argument is pretty fallacious -- your monitor powers on instantly, too. Neither of these do terribly intere…

[quote]Porsche has considerably less markshare worldwide, but few would suggest they never get it right. I feel like Apple's in the situation Porsche would be in if all they sold were cars that had all the legendary Porsche styling and handli…

[quote]Originally posted by Ti Fighter: so concider a dual 1ghz if that comes out. That will last you a long time G5 or not That's a very good point, but I still can't help feeling that 133MHz SDR is a little, well, obsolete. C'mon Apple, decent…

Crap, but what do I do? I need a new machine, and have the money, but I don't want to buy something when a VASTLY better machine is 3 MONTHS away. If it's a DDR dual 1 GHz or better, I'll suck it up and get one. If not, I'm gonna be pissed becaus…

I think that for most people, the desire for speed isn't out of a legitimate need for it today, but a combination of two very sensible desires: 1) The desire to get *value*. It's human nature. You want to save a dollar on the supermarket chicken,…

The GUI is not what makes OS X slow. I've heard this from people within Apple, and, as a programmer, I tend to agree. Notice how dragging a window with its nice dropshadow is silky smooth on even the slowest machines. Some of the sluggishness might …

I'm sure it's a contingency plan, and you've got most of the specifics right ("they're just Macs with AMD processors"), BUT it's nowhere near becoming a reality. The PowerPC isn't a half bad platform, and it's not going away anytime soon. Just becau…

I think that Jobs is at least partially right -- for the time being, most peoples' TV watching and computer using are done in vastly different settings, and aren't ripe for merging. This will change over time, and even though some of us (like me! …

Ship times from the Apple Store for all three tower models, standard or BTO, is listed at "10 days". If there's no imminent update, there should be stock, and hence the standard models should show "1-2 days". That, combined with the Jan 31 displa…

[quote]Originally posted by Wrong Robot: I'm ready for a computer that I won't need to replace for 4 years at least, and I think the g5 would be that computer... No matter how bitchin' the new towers are, you'd be lucky to get two years of high-…

Besides, their assets were already bought by Aerie. I guess Apple could buy Aerie, but they might as well just have bid on the Ricochet stuff. Ah Ricochet; I shall miss thee. Alex

I don't understand what that guy was actually going to DO with the servers in space, so I never really paid much attention to it. Communications is the major problem, and I'm not so sure that just sticking a bigger antenna on an Airport card will wo…
