Actually, u would be surprised to see just how much he's got going on in his life. He's a busy guy for sure. He just gets downtime while at work, so he posts...quickly. ;)

Myspace certainly has its problems which all of you covered but it has its merits too and is getting hugely popular which leads ro my question.
My Mac Mini G4 is horribly slow loading some pages on myspace and occasionaly ill come across a page that makes safari locks up completely while these same pages load fine on and old Windows PC.
As a loyal Mac user this is very fustrating!!!!

If you read the article it doesn't say that apple will go to intel... plus IBM is showing life with this 970 Chip, Heck Many Motorola can roll over in its grave and make a faster chip too?
Dare I speak the words of G5! ;)
Remember, you asked for it...
While all the old arguments, as to why it's bad to embrace the Wintel world still stand, it would be like embracing OS/2s fate.
If you're just another compatible machine/OS, why bother writing for the other machine/OS.

The biggest news in October will be what ever IBM has to say about their new Power4 derived chip.....that will be the future of the Mac I think.

Yeah, afterwards you always know if someone was right or not. But I still don't get why he should have shoved it up my face? If he would have been just a little bit more specific in what he was saying... but instead he was like "I know more, but I won't tell you!"
I thought that was the fun of these sites. Annoymously flaming each other and getting into huge arguements over nothing, just to kiss and make-up 2 seconds later. ;) (please note sarcasm).
So maybe not shoved it in your face. Maybe just doing a little superiority dance and singing "See. I told you so" and then sticking his toungue out. :p He was being kinda immature anyway. (You're mean, I'm taking my ball and going home.)
Not that either of us was being very nice.
Don't forget, I was the one defending you. Though it was more because I was mad at him for the way he reacted. If you can't stand the heat, and all. I had my doubts, but mostly because he ran away at the slightest question of doubt. Believe me, it could have been much worse, as I'm sure you know.
He did wind up posting later on. Did the whole "See, I was right!!!" thing. I'll admit when I'm wrong (though I'm glad I was right about it not being that color), and I guess we shouldn't have doubted him.
But he didn't exactly give us much to trust him on, did he?
If you out there 58, come on back. Defend yourself for petesake. Gloat a little bit. You deserve it. Fight back.
Don't just run away cuz somebody offended your pride, or whatever. You posted something (unsubstantiated) at a rumors site. I mean, what were you expecting?
That's all I'm saying.

If so - for as wonderful an idea it is in 'theory'... In practice I dont see it being adopted widly other than on an intital 'curiosity' basis.

Pentium 4: Bad idea.
Someone back me up on this, but the P4:
(1) lacks a decent sized L1 Cache,
(2) lacks a L3 cache, and
(3) would fail to give decent support to the Velocity Engine instructions of the G4.
Apple significantly incorporates the VE with their Apps (iMovie, FCP, iTunes, DVD Studio Pro, iCanGoOn...) including Mac OS X. By giving up the necessary L1 Cache you really concede the speed. I do agree that 800MHz vs. 2.8GHz does not make for fair play in the general consumer world, meaning what the average person sees listed on the box, but I don't agree that 800MHz vs. 2.8GHz is a big difference. At most, it may only be a 2x difference, but usually that comes from ********* up your computer with useless crap you'll hardly use. I'd guess, most of the time, it's close competition, but Apple (or someone) has to do a better job of advertising how Mac and PCs truly stack up, and people have to want to look at the stats, not just see them.

Look for someone who can only afford $200, even a 6100 can be fine. Remember these machines are preconfigured and ready...hell, it is cheaper than WebTV and can do more.

A genuine wow moment today. I was working on some small, everyday little project with a client for whom my every action on the machine was a minor miracle. Watching her react reminded me how genuinely cool the beast in front of me really is. Sure, primarily it's a tool that allows me to do my job, but there's passion and attention to perfection in there that seems worth pausing to appreciate.
So, WOW dual 2.5. And thanks for kickin butt for me.

I think I have this article (this time from The Times) being used as a bookmark somewhere when it was published a month or 2 ago...
Yup, found it :) The reason why the sample is so small is because they were struggling to find "clean" subjects who didn't spend hours playing games anyway

Speak for yourself my friend:p , I fly all the time,

The 12.1" iBook is the best value in portable computing there is, $ for feature-wise. Unbelievable buy that you actually AREN'T paying the "Apple premium" price for--a true bargain.
The form factor is great. The case material should be more scratch-resistant (more like a Pismo) and it should ship with a Combo Drive as its base optical drive (people need to burn CDs and students love watching DVDs). The hinge issue should be addressed in their next cosmetic design upgrade.
They should NOT immediately go G4 due to power and heat issues. Why should they? The software that really takes full advantage of AltiVec is seldom used by the iBook customer, and IBM can probably provide a 1 ghz G3 that would scream along nicely and still keep the long battery life iBooks are known for. The video card, however, should be upgraded to at least the 7500.

bousozoku:
At least in the case of "3D games" and "3D" there will no immediate use for a 64-bit processor, since the G4, G3, and everything else already supports 64-bit floating point numbers. The PPC-970 does have much better units to handle the "doubles" though, so thats certainly good.

I had a problem like this before. A lot of it actually installs and you can move it simply, remove Kazaa and look through Add/Remove programs and see if you see any junk in there.
