Forget scuttlebutt, the latest releases have actually cleaned up a huge number of bugs. From display driver issues to stability this latest release looks and feels really good. So far the only issues I have found are related to 3rd party apps and not Leopard. End of "safe to talk about...

The only reason MS **may** do this is because the PC manufacturers are screaming bloody murder over the delay of Vista. It is seriously going to affect their sales over the holidays.

It can render, but it places the Apple watermark on it, that is what you are seeing in the PS3 movie.

WOW! Cool! Not true, but cool!

The NYT article (I believe it is the Walt Mossberg piece) talks of a possible entertainment hub. This is meant for the home, not as a mobile device. The wireless aspect just leverages Apple's exisiting Airport tech.

A while back there was a site that was advertising PCs and laptops and displays with totally ridiculous specs. I can't remember what the site was but it had a design very reminiscent of OSX. Now there is this site: http://www.go-l.com/store/index.htm and I think it may be the same group...

Commercial television will be around for the forseeable future. Remember that all those multi-million dollar ad-buys are what pays for the show in the first place. I agree that there is an added bonus in having commercial free downloads the day after broadcast, I think most people will still be...

Or Autodesk will completely kill Mac development. They have stated in the past that they have no interest in being in the Mac space as far as 3D. Combustion was pretty much handed to them and they eventually canned the entire dev team when v3 was delivered (they have since moved on to Apple...

One thing that has not been discussed (I mentioned it on another board), is the embedded OS market. Once OSX is available for the Intel processsor, what is to stop them from moving a slimmed down version over to smart phones and PDAs? Imagine an Intel powered smart-phone with a version of...

My apologies, I thought we were talking about the Intel Xeon processors and the XBench results.

Jeez people! It is a Xeon. Xenon is a gas. The Xeon processor is actually optimized for servers... not gaming. That is the root of it's poor performance as a desktop machine. It was designed to run a box that handled lots of traffic but very little in the way of clock cycles. As has been...

That's not a building, it's the prototype of an Intel powered Macintosh. Notice all the cooling fins?

I have started a petition to try and get Softimage to port XSI. So far the response has been pretty good, but interestingly most of the posts seem to be from PC users professing that they would switch if XSI were available on the Mac. So now I need to get some Mac users to chime in. Check out...

Is it that time of year again? Sigh, every year it rolls around like Passover and Easter. Where is the x86 version of OSX?
