  • And what about delete? I'd love to be able to push a button to delete a track I never want to listen to again. Feature would have to delete the track from the iTunes library as well making for a permanent change. I would ask for that feature befo…
  • Err, one drawback would be that the mouse could easily float away when your hand leaves it. I guess it would settle to the tabletop (or floor) when it left the magnet proximity, but there you go. OTOH, if the mouse could somehow tether to a cent…
  • Quote: Originally posted by synp No, it's not. Studies show that the most popular languages for new software developments are still Cobol and C++. Java is a far third. Synp, this assertion could use some support. Please provide references…
  • ast3r3x: >why is it the mods job to explain why u are stupid Stupid is as stupid does. I suggest "u (and by 'u' i dont mean you specifically)" reread the initial post of this thread to understand the issue. >the mods stop in…
  • Cool, I thought AI was fairly established (and it is). Jonathan. Administrator. I don't know what it means but wow, that sounds serious! I knew he had privileges, but I didn't know he was lead. Interesting.
  • OS X could work but on my glance at it, seemed more Q&A than speculation? I don't know. I did private message Jonathan yesterday afternoon. He's been logged on (one post) since then. I notice Jonathan is member #11! I guess that's …
  • Dear The Milkman: Thank you for the pointers to rules which I did not know about. Unfortunately, they do not address the issue of counterproductive moderation. I believe the issue I raised is 1. still unresolved, and 2. a valid one: Wh…
  • Dear Chucker: I would not call Marklar pure speculation. In some sense, Marklar existed even before Apple bought NeXT, since NeXT hosted NextStep on Intel. I believe NextStep for Intel was even a commercial product for some time (in NextStep's …
  • Brad: Here's a distilled version of what I was trying to say. The original post covers three issues: 970/980 performance Marklar (OS X on Intel) Speculation about the two 9x0 is h/w, Marklar is s/w, and Speculation is Future. …
  • For the record, I've had a great experience with my Logitech mouse and keyboard combo. They're a couple years old (2+) and work great. The mouse uses batteries more often than the keyboard, but I'm amazed how well they work. They are not blueto…
  • I believe this decision has been years in the making. Apple probably had to make commitments (or cancel them) years ago for chips this year. IOW, Motorola already knew. I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola laid people off years ago about this proj…
  • On the playstation analogue: The PS2 does not emulate the PS1 in software. The PS2 actually has a dedicated psone-on-a-chip to do the work. The ps1 hardware was so cheap that the (partial)system on a chip did the trick, and provided a safer, vi…
  • [QUOTE]Originally posted by FrostyMMB: How can you say with any certainty that he is wrong? Have you been developing Markler? Not to say that Big Mac is certainly right, but who's to say that he is certainly wrong. Three reasons. 1) The…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Anonymous Karma: The exact same quote appeared in their article of last year as I pointed out on the MacRumors comment system. Don't worry - it's cut and paste journalism, not a change of plans (as far as we know). …
  • [QUOTE]Originally posted by Big Mac: Why OS X x86 Won't Come Out Good topic! As I said before, I believe OS X x86 is kept up-to-date with the PPC binary and that it is a last resort contingency option. Here's why Apple will not announce…
  • If half of what David M says comes true, we'll all be in Apple heaven sometime by 2004. :-) My only add to David's comments would be for the iBriq to be silent as well (a la Cube). I do not *need* the cube shape, but I do want a no-compromise h…
  • vinney57 [quote] I think the implications of this are huge. One of them is the likelyhood of OSX on Intel...Oh yes my friends. The move to Intel was espoused as a solution to performance problems...how wrong we were. The port to Intel will be an …
  • NB: Motorola 7457 will still have a place in the Apple product line. It's going in the new iPod!
  • The cube I want, no-compromise: powerful == "Faster" at least (no compromise on speed) silent (as original) "Fastest", fat Graphics == Radeon 970 (or whatever is best/new when C2 is released). All the rest, USB2, FW800, BT, 1G+ R…

  • discstickers, if Apple included VPC on every Mac, they would not be required to include Windows. They could include Linux, Marklar (Mac OS X Intel ;-), OS/2, whatever runs on Intel. However, the compatbility would be there for anyone who still …
