well, i guess it pays if you were going to get one of the apple jampacks instead. if you're paying 99 dollars for 2,000 loops, why not pay 170 for 11,000? it's going on my christmas list :)

The youtube video is IN THIS THREAD, there is exactly what you are looking for in that google link that i provided, need someone to come to your house and input it for you?
Sounds like you have a laziness issue.

Sorry, didn't see that YouTube link.:o Also didn't get to post my preemptive edit - up now - saying that, yes, I did go to that Google link (even though you should be linking to specific posts), and no, there's nothing at all conclusive there - far from it.
Given your history of making unsubstantiated claims with no proof (Nintendo and the UN are conspiring to make artificial Wii shortages!!), it's perfectly reasonable to ask that you pick out some reputable articles & link to them - not send a Google link and expect us to read whatever crap it dredges up. If I was going to descend to a personal level, I'd say you're the one with the laziness issue - but I'm not, so I won't. :)

Do you really think you should make these people's email addresses public. Not sure if you are telling the truth or not, but I know that whenever I have posted my email address in places before, (old addresses with limited storage), I have had problems with large quantities of spam. Even with efficient spam blockers, some can get through and if you get too fascist with spam, you can run the risk of blocking something real and important.
sjobs@apple.com would be a pretty obvious guess to Steve's e-mail address. But I bet it's got a whitelist. I couldn't imagine how much crap he would get without one (plus, with that email address posted all over the web, spam spiders would pick it up and have a field day with it)

No G3 I know of have shipped with any kind of drive externally to my knowledge. Let's hope the new PB G4 will not be the first model to break this tradition since 1996/7...

"business acumen"? Hahaha. Grow up, kid. You have demonstrated that you know nothing of the computer industry or the position that Apple holds, but merely fabricated what position YOU think Apple holds, "as a shareholder". You haven't admitted when you were wrong and you're just blindly arguing for Apple.
I know the following. Apple is turning a profit in a crappy market. Apple layoffs have been light. Apple is not a company with the recources (based on market cap) to fab its own chips. These are things which you can verify for yourself.

No, but you suggested that we should rally around some cause (design chips, boycott Apple, etc.) and vocalize. I merely pointed out that neither would do any good.
You are not getting kudos for making good points, you are getting kudos for making popular replies. The ones that most Mac users here want to hear - How much Apple owns and how they have a masterplan that, mysteriously, never seems to quite work out for them, now does it.
When we started this argument, I observed that executive teams at publicly traded companies prolly knew more than you about what was happening. A day later, with have a 64 Bit IBM chip, with many sources (sfgate.com, cnn.com, etc.) independently confirming it is to become an Apple part.
Hmmmm.....looks like it worked out to me.
Well it seems as though Apple has gone with IBM, so part of their "plan" is to improve chip speed, just as i suggested they should.
Without you, I'm sure they'd be gunning to slow things down. I'm sure you'll be back to tell us how this 1.8 GHz 64 bit Power4 derivative is slow compared to the 3.8 GHz PIV next year.
I never suggested that the only way for Apple to survive is purely chip speed, i suggested that that is a major part of it and to say it isn't is moronic.
I guess it's a good thing I haven't, else you could call me a moron.
In the end, Nispy, we have agreed on many points and if this whole argument had gone a little better, without petty, childish insults on your part, which i'm ashamed to say that i have contributed to in this last post, and complete missunderstandings of my posts, we could have come to some kind of constructive conclusion. Clearly that wasn't your aim.

A) Does the problem reoccur, and
B) Don't the kidlets get really pissed off when this happens at a crucial moment? (Maybe the kidlets are more mature than I am. :D )
Yeah, it seems to happen periodically with the 'mote and nunchuck that came with the Wii, but not the ones I bought after.
They've figured it out now so they know what to do in case it happens. Pause the game and unplug the nunchuck. Is that mature :p?

Sorry, not buying it just because that dude says so. A lot of his argument is technical in nature, but doesn't really mean anything. It's about the concept. Do I know 100% where the Tiger engineers got the idea? No. Does J. Gruber? No. But IMO, the concept came from Konfabultor.

Yeah me too. The small video previews on the net make it look better than it does when its full size on your tv screen, and it plays like ..... meh ......
It's not awful, just utterly utterly average in every regard. 6/10 kind of game.
Oh and I always thought the godfather games just looked crap on all formats.

It will have 100 million transistors on it and it will be manufactured at .09 microns. Also, here is the doozy, it will have 1 mb of L2 on die cache, and it will support 333mhz bus speeds, with the addition of DDR, that is a possible 667mhz bus speeds. By the way, if you were wondering, the Pentium 4 has 42 million transistors.
Now, for the G4: I am not sure how many transistors the G4 has, but I imagine it is way less then 100 million, or even 42 million, considering the P4 came out after the G4. Anyway, the cache on the G4 is higher on the high-end, 2mb of cache. But: the speed: 1.25Ghz? Can that really stand up to a P5 with 333mhz bus, and 3.2Ghz clock speeds? My opinion: most likely not.
Let's be honest, the P4 basically can beat the G4 in most tasks today, so a new faster version of the P4, the P5 can easily beat the G4, most likely in 95-99% of all tasks.
Ok, we have established that the G4 is, well, to slow against the P5, even though we don't know about it yet, I imagine it will be. Well, Apple just pulled the plug on OS 9 for January, what could this mean? I am not sure, only Steve knows. But Apple better come out with something that can at least compete with the Pentium 5, and it better come soon. I would not be surprised if Apple comes out with the G5 in January, just to say they were the first to have a generation 5 possessor, but I could be wrong.
Ok, I made my case, now, what do you guys think? By the way: I got this information about the Pentium 5 from eWeek, so it is reputable.
dumb ass, no theres no P5, P5 wont come out for a LOOOONG Time, PIV is expected to Scale up to 10ghz, this is just an upgraded PIV f00
