GM was losing anyway, so was Ford. That is totally different than made in China scheme. two topics that don't particularly relate for any apparent reason. GM/Ford are being beat by their Japanese compeition. Chrysler is having its biggest bounce back ever, and its going to over cap what GM and...

I think the mac mini will replace the eMac.

sounds like a religious experience

I'll come out and say it-those problems I never had with windows-well, yesterday, she floated down the river and sank, to put my curse words midly hehehe. I love the whole hardware upgradeabily aspect of it all though. I hope apple is at least wise enough to make a good solid x86 machine...

I can attest that not all business men are with the mob or politics ;-) Hell, most of them at least donate money, don't see any Union bosses doing that very often...

Quite yet another thread I can make an ass out of myself in heh.. The real problem with any globalized process ends up being this- Labor is a commodity, and in many countries this commodity is under oppressive rule and doesn't have the chance to bargain- on the flip...

Seems like the idea of cost cutting isn't conveying here very well...

if anything goes wrong I'll fix it myself, for the most part, or find someone who knows how to do it. Computers are everywhere. Its not hard to find free good service from a couple friends you have over for a beer or two. no, they aren't higher, 1,000 plus 78 dollars isn't much (going rate...

whiteys only make up 5% of the laptop market. So far big companies have been good about not allowing people to build their own. That'll change as time goes on.

sooon enough we'll be building laptops too.

Hmm? I like the Imac, but for 1,000 dollars I built what they would have gave in for 1,300. Not including monitor I suppose, but I got that free, along with a stereo system, and some software.

Then their computers better preform and cost around the same as the computers that you can build yourself, cause that is a major, unbelieveabl plus to windows, believe it or not. It has its drawbacks yes, but if you aren't dumb its nifty. In order to increase sales, they'll have to...

I'm under the influence that i can just buy the OS and build the comp 3rd party though..

Indeed that is interesting. Forwarding to pre-2006. I can only see apple doing one route Giving up on being a hardware company, which would make sense now that they adopted x86, and becoming a more software kind of company and this could become a standpoint to bombard MS's hold, and this...

I'm under the impression that the laptops will first, since they are in dire need of upgrading, then the mac mini after that... Though, I personally think they'll make a huge amount of money selling the OS rather than just computers, with an x86 market on hand it'll probably fly off the...
