    in RealNetworks seeks musical alliance with Apple... Comment by blabla April 2004
  • An alliance would bring benefit to both companies. In the long run, I dont see Apple winning the media war alone. While the iPod and iTMS is hot consumer products right now, its naive to believe a proprietary DRM scheme could conquire the whole worl…

  • Depends on what you mean by TF.. is it 32 or 64 bit floating point, is it in real-world applicaiton or only theoretical peak performance, is it the general purpose CPU alone or the complete (including graphics) system. With the help of Altivec, the …

    in Apple's sales in 2003 (IDC) Comment by blabla January 2004
  • hmurchison: Couldnt agree more. If Apple continue to use G4 chips in the dekstop line, it will most likely be so because of fear of internal competition. Eguene: it would be nice if you could show us some Adobe Mac vs. PC revenue numbers. ( Of co…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo The article states that, "Apple was late to put CD burners in their computers." Are you kidding me? Apple had them in iMacs way before they were ever in PCs. No, Apple actually copied this feature from Del…

  • The Apple web site has always drawn a lot of visitors.. Remember, unlike Dell and other boxmakeers, Apple got Quicktime. That alone draws a lot of visitors. And isnt the default homepage in Safari www.apple.com?
    in Apple leads traffic to computer web sites, Nielsen/NetRatings reports Comment by blabla November 2003
  • I wouldnt call it innovation.. I would call it fashion. Of course, whatever Apple is doing, we should label it as innovation. Like, when Apple opens some online store, or when some university slaps together 2000 G5s, it should be labeled as innov…

  • According to top500.org, 10322 of those itanium2 CPUs are in the top500 list (all supercomputers built in 2003). This does not include the new 4000 CPU Itanium supercomputer going to be built next month.

  • Quote: Originally posted by penseive Um, that article was wrong. They posted a $.12/share profit! That's damn good. $.05 higher than expectations. Huge revenue increase, too. Actually, they posted $0.08/share when you exclude one time items.

  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Futhermore, the cost of these huge registers would affect the context switching cost of the processor in a very negative way. Doubling the vector registers would be an extra 0.5K for every context, on top…

  • Unlike what most mac users believe, Apple was not the first to bring legal online music download service to the market. So MS is not really stealing an idea from Apple.
