  • I'll chime in here on the drive issue. I work professionally in the video editing/multimedia area and though I'm not as fond of network storage I can definitely state that externals are better on one important count. If you are on a serious deadl…
  • Hmmm 10ghz front side bus? Does anyone here know what's next after DDR400? Now that the memory is the bottleneck it would be interesting to see what we have coming for memory and when.
  • Actually Bancho the point I was trying to make was that if IBM had promotional material and specs ready for 2.5Ghz 970 blade 2 months ago it seems that a 2.5 Ghz 970 shouldn't be too far off, and would certainly be ready in 6 months when speed bumpe…
  • A few points First, remember the German IBM site that briefly published specs on an IBM blade using a 2.5Ghz 970? It caused quite a stir on AI for a while. Second I don't think that it is necessary for the 970 to go to 90nm in order to put it …
  • First off Klinux. I would restrain from using the word "ignorant" unless you know the people you are talking about on an individual basis. I take offense to being called ignorant just because I disagree with all that you're saying. You know nothing …
  • [quote] You'd still have the hardware and OS integration that Apple is famed for. no that's incorrect. below is a portion of an artical on
  • A recompile of a UNIX OS would probably be just an annoyance for me but it would scare my wife half to death and my Dad would never get it done. People that use Linux and Solaris are geeky and computer savy enough to do this but how many Apple custo…
  • This disscussion is already taking place in another thread in regards to the last rumor to come out about Marklar but I'll say the same thing here. Actually switching to x86 rathar than offering OSX for x86 and calling it good would kill Apple's por…
  • uhh guys, this artical doesn't say Apple is switching away from PPC to x86 it's saying that they are basically considering the same strategy as they had for Rahpsody. One version for Apple built PPC and one for x86 boxes. It appears that the ide…
  • look first of all if Intel doesn't tackle the heat issue the Mhz rating won't mean much. A P4 3.06 with HT enabled can consume 105 Watts. That's insane! How much efficiency could they possibly get from going to 90nm if they are also going to increas…
  • i am currently a multimedia developer but I have also done and still do web development (ASP,PHP,Javascript), video editing, application programming, PC helpdesk/support and I was a professional musician (drums and vocals) for 16 years. I have an as…
  • Normally I don't get involved in the political discussions on this board but I believe the difference in threats here is pretty plain. North Korea is a isolationist nation. They aren't terribly interested in possesing any nearby country's land e…
  • From my experience knowing Javascript inside and out allowed me to slip into Java and C/C++ very easily. The biggest thing to get used to was typing variables (short, long, etc.), structs and pointers. I had already learned basic OO from Javascript…
  • As far as I'm concerned drawing tools are non issue with Keynote. Micorsoft doesn't have an application (except for Visio and that was purchased) that has decent drawing tools. Appleworks isn't bad for drawing simple stuff but there are plenty of go…
  • The hardware may well come later this year. I would also suggest that in keeping with Apple's use of open source software that they could also build a nice GUI for MySQL complete with form authoring that would probably make quite a splash and would …
  • Oh I certainly think Keynote trounces PowerPoint. The key is file formats. the importing and presentation deployment options add flexibility that PP can't match. The interface is better, transitions are better, themes are better and the fact that th…
  • I really think all together that Keynote made Power Point look like a toy just as Dreamweaver made Front Page look like a toy. If this is an indication of what we can expect from a new Appleworks or perhaps individual office type apps from Apple in …
  • I derive a lot of my livelyhood from Macromedia products. This would be extremely bad. Considering that Microsoft hates standards unless they control all or a good bit of the development of them and that they hate cross platform software and open so…
  • Very nice! If anyone could get a good job in this economy it would be a talent like yourself. Keep it up.
  • AMD isn't entirely out AFAIK. The Server Opterons will be out as planned. As I understand it the Athlon 64 chips have been delayed not because of production problems but because it doesn't make sense to market the new 32bit Barton core procs at the …
