Some comments: H.264 is equally ulnerable to submarine patents. If someone has a patent on something in H.264, companies that use it can be sued. Google claims that H.264 is far-and-away more efficient than Ogg Theora, and that they can't poss…

My 10 GB, along with my iPod, are currently winging their way towards me along with my brand-new iBook 900 (after a 3-week wait, thank you very much EMJ). Got them on the student developer program, about 17% off. Great deal for my first laptop AN…

[quote]Originally posted by satchmo: Any idea what the new Powerbooks would go for? (encryption prevents me from checking out the price list). I'm wondering if the savings of roughly 25% still apply. I'd love to pick up a 867 for under $3K…

[quote]Originally posted by 123: [code]long i = 5; When long is 64 bit, the constant 5 to be loaded into the register needs to be a full 64 bits wide, which means that you're using 4 extra bytes of storage, on disk and in memory, for the same cons…

[quote]Originally posted by AirSluf: Again, if the architecture changes then the assumptions don't exactly work. If the bus is wider then there is no penalty for more data, the entire width marches across in the same number of clock cycles. One o…

[quote]Originally posted by mmicist: Basically Apple can define (in C terms) either sizeof(long) = 64 bits, or sizeof(long long) = 64 bits (which is the current status in most compilers). The former means all longs change size, and you get extra …

[quote]Originally posted by 123: what constants exactly? Implicit constants, like memory offsets and such in assembly code, in addition to assignment constants like [code]long i = 5; When long is 64 bit, the constant 5 to be lo…

[quote]Originally posted by AirSluf: Not true, by a long shot. Your thesis only holds if the CPU is upgraded but nothing else--only data beholden to the 64-bit integer will be affected as you say. Not to mention it is more likely those applic…
