Quote: it seems to me that every program in OS X has slow 2d redraw from pro tools to archicad to iphoto. Also it isnt just live window resizing that is a problem. One prominent (at least to me) example. Illustrator 10 is double buffered, cour…

Quote: I paid over 2 grand for a machine that can not resize windows. That is stupid. Yeah, thank god for all those programs and other sh*t, otherwise this laptop would be totally useless.

Quote: A 1.33+ G4 will happily stack up against the best wintelon "mobile" chips. Geez Matsu. How about a little consistency, or are you still RDF'd out. This is Apple. They can't just stack up. They have to either win on price (not bloody likel…

you mean you're incapable of typing "hotmail" into the VersionTracker search box. And no I don;t remember the name either.

Quote: Lots of folks argue that with higher resolution displays they would have trouble seeing stuff. What can't they see? If the type is too small, enlarge it. It's true that some type, such as that in menus and dialog boxes can't be enlarged (yet…

Quote: granted we only have a 933MHz g4 at my work, when working with even only ~200MB psd files it is SLLOOOWWWW If you do graphics work then I cannot recommend as large a display as you can afford, either CRT or LCD. Most of your productivity …

Quote: However, people at macnn forums keep saying that window resizing has not been really improved. Can anyone confirm? There are only 4-6 months of development left, and it wwould be charitable to call the DP a beta. Speculate from there abou…

Before Monday a 1.4GHZ PM was the fastest machine Apple offered. Any new G5 looks like it will beat the 1.4GHZ machine in terms of processing power (especially FP and Altivec), memory throughput, hard drive throughput, noise levels (quieter) and mem…

Don't you think you'd get a snappy Finder etc with any G5--after all the G5 in any config offers a performance upgrade over any dual processor machine Apple sells today.

Quote: IBM claims to have protoypes of the next generation. It's usually 12-18 months from first silicon to production, no? Now the question would be, do they mean the 90nm 970, or the POWER5-derived CPU we're calling the 980, or something else? …

Hey Brad throw up some screenies of the Colorsync Utility. Lots of new stuff for people who are picky about color. TIA

Quote: I'm a bit confused with the clamor for the 970 in the Powerbook. I guess because right now its the only sight we see of higher clockspeeds but the whole 64 bit aspect of the chip will never be utilized in a Powerbook. Not only high…

Quote: 1) why wasn't Acrobat a speed demon too, and 2) why didn't SJ show off other aspects of Quartz as being much faster too? 1) Adobe uses its own PDF based display lib, in the interest of cross-platform equality and all that. 2) Exposé an…

How much is Panther going to help then? Apart from UI ignorance (PS7 browser die), Adobe has been using (for some time) its own font and screen display libs. And it seems from Acrobat 6, stil hasn't sorted out some performance issues with their c…

Quote: Each G5 dissipates 97 watts, which generates so much heat that Apple had to design a new enclosure with four independently controlled thermal zones, each with its own fan. http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/OEG20030623S0092 Seriously kids…

Quote: I think the service from version Tracker is second to none Except for the "pay us" or we'll make our website near useless attitude.

Quote: Its odd...has Apple finaly lost control? No, strangely enough Panther is pretty much a complete mystery. Knowing that it is going to be a 64-bit OS in some form does not really count as advanced knowledge.

No such thing as a 3D that automagically does great output. You're going to spend time fussing with materials, lights and textures, much less modelling the thing. Unless you just go in with a wireframe. Doesn't this sound like a buyout--or is the…

Quote: Walnut Creek is completely isolated from the rest of the East Bay...except maybe Concord. And Orinda, Lafayette, Alamo, Danville, Pleasant Hill and Clayton, etc. Apple done their homework, there is $$$ out there.
