Intel has SPEC scores for a 3.0Ghz Woodcrest system: http://www.intel.com/performance/wor...eon/intspd.htm INT/FP: 3057/2775 (Apple reported 800/840 for the 2Ghz G5 )

Quote: Originally posted by Neruda This is true, but your observation that "if you privately break the Apple EUlA...Apple is not going to...sue you" has more to do with real world pragmatism then it does with ethics and law; this does not change …

It's an academic debate anyway, because if you privately break the Apple EULA in your own home, Apple is not going to hunt you down and sue you. The EULA effectively only prevents companies from distributing pre-installed systems. Which is Apple…

Quote: Originally posted by backtomac I disagree. I don't think Apple's previous behavior will carry forward. I think they buy into Intel's product cycle and refresh just like pc vendors do. They really don't have any choice. Whether they like it…

Marvin's right -- this is more of a "Brand" issue than one of ergonomics or user friendliness. Macs have a menu bar and a one button mouse for the same reason BMWs have a kidney grille.

Yet somehow the economy hasn't collapsed because 97% of computer users are wondering what button to push. My Mom: Do I have to keep going up to the menu to copy text? Me: Just right-click on it and the menu will appear there. Mom: Oooo. Fitt…

I wouldn't expect any deals on PowerMacs. The goal is to get people OFF PowerPC! In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Intel replacements to come in a good deal cheaper.

Apple's inflated stock price is predicated on them inventing "the next iPod". Well, now it's been several years, and we've got U2 iPods and iPod cases and iPod boomboxes, but no new consumer electronics device. Public is getting skeptical. So t…
