[quote]Originally posted by Brad: Apple helped bring USB mainstream by completely dropping the legacy serial port (before then, I think only a few not-so-popular Compaq Presarios included a USB port). All the HP pavilions sold in 96 had USB, (…

[quote]I was talking to one of my friends yesterday (PC user, but smart about computers) and he was saying that Microsoft is more likely to go out of business than Apple, because Apple has some of the strongest customer loyalty of all the companies …

5Ghz in 1H03, not according to intel roadmaps. I believe this is a typo. Intel doesn't show signs of moving much past 3.06 in the first quarter.

Speed is okay for consumers... for now. New features are always over the horizon. For instance, I bet nobody's computer here can manage all incoming and outgoing media for the household. I bet you can't access any information or program on your h…

I don't see a windows vs mac sequel happening. What was interesting and allowed non-computer people to enjoy the original was that it was about the birth of the personal computer, a significant event in our development. What would an apple vs ms s…

[quote]1) MS declares itself in the right to have Windows gather version numbers and product IDs of installed software. 2) It's not limited to MS software. 3) MS give you no official way to opt out of this.I haven't seen any evidence of this, but …

[quote]my problem is that i'm in charge of at least 50 win2k boxes. they're scattered in different departments and have a wide variety of different hardware etc. inside them. for me to keep track of all of the patches that each machine may or may no…

[quote]what i want to know is am i really expected to look up every single patch for every single system that i run? now i have to go and set up each machine by hand, hoping that i'm getting every update that i need?Have you ever used automatic upda…

[quote]Um, hate to reopen the wound, but all that information issent to MS when you register WinXP. Actually registration, activation and windows update are all different things. That information is used by the windows update webpage and automatic …

With respect to WMP, I didn't notice this. I've bought some music at towerrecords before secured with 'liquidaudio'. AFAIK its no longer supported and I forgot to copy my license when I upgraded to win2k. I tried salvaging the songs with a revers…

This is a good move. They should maintain this licensing scheme in future releases, not just the 'we need to get everyone on osX' time frame. Microsoft can't do this as easily since they're a software company. [ 08-15-2002: Message edited by: x…

I'm not worried about world info moving around the network. I'm worried about a bunch of high-poly, shadow generating, higher res texture characters moving on the screen. The hardware hasn't changed since halo 1, so all enhancements will have to c…

That looks nice, but can it look the same with 30+ players running and gunning on the screen? [quote]Random fact of the universe: an XBox costs as much as a WinXp license... I wonder which one has more value? So as a thought for people who want…

[quote]Microsoft is a monopoly so the whole thing about Windows 2000 SP3 sending a list of all your apps' version numbers back to them for research purposes, ...I haven't heard about this, do you have a link because I have a box with sp3 installed. …

I've heard that the early adopters of digital cable received excellent standard definition quality. However, over the years they've cut the data rate down to squeeze more channels in. That might explain the color banding and occasional macro block…

[quote]Originally posted by PooPooDoctor: Where did you get this info at? Last I heard, XP isn't all that welcomed by most Window users. I've used XP, what a joke. Not only is it ugly, the file system and the OS itself is way too complic…

[quote]If? Apple has unparalleled customer loyalty, why do you think the platform survives? It sure as hell isn't because of all those new users coming in.Statistically, Apple has poor customer loyalty. Over the past 5 years, marketshare has dropp…

Me too, it takes about 14 hours to filter and encode a seinfeld episode for archiving. I'd like to cut that down a little.

I don't think the price is that bad. But I understand why people are surprised. Traditionally apple has had big markups on the hardware and just sold cheap software to sweeten the deal. Maybe this pricing is sign of things to come. [quote]Looks…
