  • Quote: Originally posted by Escher IDG just announced that Greg Jozwiak will hold the MWCPNY keynote. IMO, this signals that the Steve Jobs keynote at WWDC will focus (almost) exclusively on software, i.e. Panther, and Jozwiak's MWCPNY keynote wi…

  • I don't think SGI would be a smart purchase for Apple. That move could be construed as an attack on IBM, and Apple needs all the momentum it can get. Focus is the key here-Apple needs to sell Macs to survive. Every square in the "4-box matrix" …

  • Apple Office would be a bad, bad idea. Apple has alienated 3rd-party developers time and again with their software...case in point, Premiere, which hasn't even been updated for Jaguar, is on the chopping block because of Final Cut Pro. Making "A…
  • It sucks that it's gone, but it sucks even worse that it took so long for them to admit what we've already seen coming for quite a long time. The only bad thing to this is that it takes away some of the Mac legitimacy as a platform. Having big p…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JLL Since the rendering engine in Mac IE and Win IE are different it wouldn't help to have a Mac IE anyway (not mentioning things like ActiveX and other stuff like that). They may be implemented in different code, …
  • No offense, but could we please have a more descriptive title for this thread?
  • Matsu is 100% correct. Apple has a monopoly on the Mac platform the same way that Ford has a monopoly on Mustangs.
  • Hahha, I gotta celebrate that one. The rich and corrupt Yankees spanked by our friends the Astros! I wish the Astros would go back to playing in the Astrodome. Right now they play in Enron field.
  • Self-serving IT numbnuts working for self-serving school bureaucrats-nothing good can come of it. IT should not be making computer purchasing decisions. They don't decide what textbooks the schools use, so why should they decide what computers? …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Code Master http://uptime.netcraft.com/ This monitors uptimes of companies servers. The first example is apple (switching over to X back in 2000) and the second example which is of more interest to this discussion s…
  • If you're willing to spent money, Powermail (http://ctmdev.com) whips the ass of Mail in terms of speed and flexibility. It does have a "compress folder" option. I have over 10,000 messages in my database with nary a hiccup, and I can use the same…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Scott Old? I think White Stripes ****ing rock. Does that make me not old? Rap is just kind of boring with the whole, ganstas, bitches, gats, cops yawn. I'd rather listen to Hootie. Oh god what did I just say …
  • I think Apple has taken the best of open source, which is free (as in beer), solid and flexible code, and merged it with the focus and accountability of closed-source software. As a result you see masterpieces like Safari and the Mac OS itself. …
  • So has IBM started releasing its PPC970 machines to "select customers" yet? There was a post on this forum a while back saying that he had received an email from IBM which gave his organization first dibs on their PPC970 based server machines. B…

  • I don't necessarily need it to boot into Aqua, although that would be nice (using remote desktop). However, the machine I'm talking about is just going to be an internet router/firewall and I can manipulate it via the command line if need be. …
  • Toast's interface is infinitely better than any PC burning app that I've seen...HotBurn, Nero, DiscJuggler, even Roxio's own Easy CD Creator. I've often wondered why Roxio didn't just port Toast (or the Toast interface) to Windows...Easy CD Creat…
  • It does mind if I try and boot it without a video card...that won't work. I guess I'll head over to Apple.com and see what their suggestions are.
