  • Quote: Originally posted by @homenow If they wanted to bundle OS X with their computers they probably would, but if someone else comes up with an installer that installs OS X on their non-Apple system then Apple wouldn't have any legal reason to …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon I disagree with one of the posters above. I don't see the Cube as a pro or consumer product. Just potential tailored to both. Let's face it. Most machines are powerful in many daily computing respects…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph It has less to do with some notion of huge heat sinks and more to do with the fact that the 970 draws anywhere from two to almost four times the power of a 7447 at the same die size. That's a cooling problem, an…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iBrowse I understand that, to a point. Move the slider all the way over, is that much necessary? I was just wondering on why it'd go so far. Well, I went to a college with a guy that was visually impaired and neede…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mortigi tempo It's not true. I work for mag writing about MCAD and architectural CAD and I checked with their representative. They are evaluating the Mac market constantly, and say it's becoming more interesting with t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by fred_lj Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. We're so excited and sure about "Splash Power" being the way to go, but wouldn't leaving a splash power pad on your desk just defeat the purpose of wireless keyboards? I me…

  • Quote: Originally posted by DCQ Why $499? Apple could sell a lot more if they priced it at $99. Oh, and why not have unlimited iPhoto prints? Why just 50? You people just don't get it. He forgot to post the 'one more thing spec': The $499 …
  • Quote: Originally posted by BuonRotto I can imagine Apple's response: "Where the f*** were you the first time?!" Well, once they got the price right, I bought 5. Get it right again, and I'll buy 5 more.

  • Quote: Originally posted by 1337_5L4Xx0R We seriously need a GKrellM equivalent for Mac OS X. Preferably transparent/integrated into the desktop picture, showing all stats in realtime. CPU(s), Net, HD, Ram, Swap, hostname, weather, maybe name of …
  • Quote: Originally posted by LiquidR Is it tomorrow yet?? I don't know, it always seems to be today. Hey, just hope to god nobody locks the thread or else Apple will never ship the damn things.
  • Quote: Originally posted by johnq Oh relax....Listen to yourself. You certainly don't need to use me as the quote in your post. I didn't give a damn aside from saying Shift slows it down. Whatever the others were blathering about is your gripe. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by GardenOfEarthlyDelights What I want to know is why these permissions seem to get messed up with every install. Well, unix and Mac OS X has a set of conventions for how permissions should be set. The problem is that…
