You read correctly, there is no G5 build here (http://homepage.mac.com/ozjason/moz/).
After backing up library files I gave them both a whirl; YMMV but I found the Firefox G4 build to be subpar, ie, not working. I have reverted to the original krmathis build - fox-around-the-apple.
The Thunderbird build is a different beast altogether, on my 7447A load times, and searching of my admittedly huge mailbox archives were both dramatically cut... Which is good, I mean, it couldn't really get much slower, could it?

I just got a call back for an interview at an Apple Store in VA. I say round two because this is the same store i worked at when i dissapeared from MacRumors last summer. This time as a Mac Genius.
According to a article at AppleInsider the 2004 paygrade from a Mac Gneius was between 15.08/hr and 22.62/hr. Do these numbers hold up?

You're right, Cars are a bad comparisson:
Better to compare Trucks. :D
Macs are like Semi's : the don't rev very high but they can haul a ****load of cargo from A to B.
PC's are like Chevy Avalanche: A nearly useless SUV with nearly every extra but guarenteed to work and look like **** in less than 5 years and always do a half-assed job on all but the basic navigation. :D

NBA 2k7 hands down -- I tried playing NBA Live 07 and I just didn't enjoy it at all...
2k7 offers great animations, graphics, and overall gameplay -- don't settle for Live, stick with 2k7
just my opinion though

Oh man, when I joined I was running a G4 Cube 450 MHz with 1.5 GB RAM, 20 GB HD, Radeon, and a 15" Studio Display. What a great setup for the day. Now I'm on my DP GHz Quicksilver w/ a 20" Cinema, but I honestly miss seeing that little Cube on my desk. :)

MattyMac, I showed up for my openings around 6 AM, and I wasn't even first in line! :D
Good luck :)
Im not trying to be the first in line. Just be number 800 in line? Do you think an hour early is safe??

As most have said, it is kinda fun to play around with. But what is the actual use of it? Sure, you can analyse statistical data from the net, but other than that....not much point to it.

Of course. Windows XP-64bit is already running on Hammer.
In addition, are these companies looking to produce Desktops with this technology, or more primarily focusing on server use.
There are two verisons of the Hammer. One for servers, the Opteron. One for desktops (aka 8th Generation Athlon [886]; Athlon was 786), which uses Hammer technologies.
Do these manufactures even have incentives to upgrade to 64-bit technology when they have 3+ Ghz intels, and AMDs? For all lmarketing purposes, they would be downgrading (1.8 ghz (64) compared to 3+ ghz (32)).
Why of course they do have incentives. One, 64bit sounds good. Two, faster. I'm not sure what you're smoking about 1.8GHz thing (I dunno the exact starting speed, but I do know it's supposed to be rated at "3400+", so perhaps it's indeed 1.8GHz, but labelled 3400+. Don't assume because PPC970 is coming with 1.6 to 1.8GHz that Opterons have to be the same; but feel free to correct me wrong and I'll admit to 1.8GHz).
I wouldn't count Apple out on this one -- them being first and doing it well. I would say they have incentives to integrate this 64-bit tech for the pro side -- the side of their product line that might be hurting. How do we know that Apple hasn't been colaborating with IBM and configuring OS X Panther (or whatever) to run spanking fast with the new chips? And have PowerMacs already working at headquarters?
I wouldn't count them out for being one of the first. I'm sure Apple has been colloborating with IBM. I didn't state that they weren't.
The unique thing about Apple is that in order for this 64-bit thing to take hold, it needs to colaborate with two people: itself and IBM.
With other manufactures, they have to colaborate with: themselves, Microsoft, and the Chip maker.
Well gee, they've been doing that for a long time. So what?
Maybe Apple can be first?
As stated, AMD is coming out with Hammer much earlier than IBM's PowerPC 970. I know Apple isn't in direct competition with AMD, but the PC manufacturers USE AMD processors.

This prolly only applies to history fanatics but....
Does anyone see the correlation between Steve Jobs and Robespierre?
In that, Robespierre essentially became the French Revolution and Steve Jobs is the same way with Apple computer. id rather see if anyone posts something before i keep talking.
cheers

I personally will be in the market to buy a current iBook within the next 4 months.....so if they are updated then all the better for me and the other kats.
What I would like to see first up is a G4 processor. Nothing with 700mhz+ but about 500Mhz (the same as the initial TiBook) but with about 512MB of L3 cache or even 256L2 running at FULL CPU clock speed.
if not a G4 well then Apple should negotiate last years batch of IBM G3's which last I read were capable of running up to 1.5Ghz! Dont know if any batch does exist though--aftermarket buyers will know for sure.
I'm hoping for at least 32MB of DDR video RAM onboard via ATi or NVidia, please bebe please! And also a 5400 RPM ATA/66 or ATA/100 Hard drive!!!
THe TiBook i want at least 64MB of Video Ram being of PC2600 DDR or better and I want to see a 7200RPM or 5400RPM Hard disk drive on a ATA/100 bus not the ****** ATA/33 or ATA/66 that is the laptop universe main stay.
I kinda like the 12" iBook much better than the 14"; the size of a text book principle really suits the purpose and the image and the success of the iBook!!!!

Can't the police get a warrant for the IP address? I think if they have a warrant above their heads they might "find" a IP address. All the information they get from a xbox or 360 that gets on XBL they HAVE to know the IP.
