  • This is a good time as any to make the radical decision to make Mac OS X free for all Mac users and that this will include current as all future versions. Apple can't make much money on OSX and it would probably be weighed up by increased hardware s…

    in Briefly: Apple UK blunder hints at Mac Pro update Comment by henriok March 2007
  • I'd be enourmously surprised if it didn't have rich support for "exotic" languages. There's nothing inside the software in iPhone that suggests that it wouldn't have anything but full support. The whole point of not having any buttons and everything…

  • Marvell is a fabless semiconductor designer and might employ Samsung for the manufacturing of the device. Samsung, Chartered, Infineon, Freescale and IBM have a joint foundy collaboration going on syncing their fabrication processses enabling custom…

    in Bearlake in Macs? Comment by henriok November 2006
  • I agree with Palegolas. I think it's rather petty to poke at Microsoft. Can't they see that they are hurting?! It's mean to kick someone when they are down.
    in Briefly: Apple on Vista, Leopard, retail windows Comment by henriok August 2006
  • [QUOTE=Vox Barbara]You nailed it. I just can't remember *any* so called eye candy UI finish in MacOs, that has no compelling practical reason, too. Well.. I thing the ripple stuff when activating a dashboard widget is a little over the top, and…
    in Vista vs Leopard Comment by henriok August 2006
  • Core 2 Duo increases cache size and that'll help a lot I think, but the main resource hog of Rosetta is hat it uses A LOT OF RAM. ~400 MB + 25% extra from every PPC app. Core 2 Duo won't change any of that, but we will be able to use more than 2 GB …
    in Rosetta with Core 2 Duo Comment by henriok July 2006
  • I Apple wanted a cheap, versatile, powerful laptop, geard towards just about anybody, they could have opted for cheaper CPUs and a discrete GPU. Instead they went fot rather pricey CPUs and a cheap GPU, leaving gamers and people who might want to us…

    in Intel sells Xscale line to Marvell Comment by henriok June 2006
  • I think it's pretty remarkable that Intel sells the ARM-division and choses to keep Itanium floating. ARM has a future, the market is enourmous and Intel's share was small so they had ample room to grow. But selling this part won't ammount to public…

  • Really.. Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign is running _just_fine_ on my MacBook Pro. I can't really tell that I'm running it emulated. I upgraded from a 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 with _is_ faster when I really put it to the test, but as I said.. I am n…
