And all the naysayers wondered why we moved from 16 bit to 24 bit Macintosh System Software. They also said we didn't need to go from 24 to 32 bit. What happened in the move from 16 to 32 and all between? We got more colors on our monitors, a better finder, bigger hard drives, video...

G4 is still speedy and 2 processors are always better than one. That is why future AMD and Intel chips are going to add a special layer to their chips to emulate dual processor machines with a single chip. Apple realized this a long time ago. The PPC 970 is the only answer in my eyes...

The benefits are still there you just choose not to see them because you are buying into the x86 myth that faster is better. You are comparing this to a different pipeline, different architecture and different specification. We do not know exactly how much faster the x86 would be running...

You sure about that? I remember people saying the same thing about not needing no more than a gigabyte hard drive but the thing that changed that is a 'killer app' That is what the palm needs right now. Sony has put mpeg 1 and 4 playback in the clie's. It has put a new 'launcher' that...

PalmOS 6 will in fact be based on the underlying Be Architecture. How much of it will make it into the new PalmOS is yet to be seen. I am not sure we need the SMP or JFS of the old BeOS though the API for BeOS and the multimedia capabilities are the ones I am hoping to see transition over to...

Woah this is news to me. I have not heard this. Do you have articles about this? That's very interesting though.

I just found an article on CNET about Palms unwillingness to comment about Apple being a new PalmOS licensee. http://news.com.com/2100-1040-965338.html?tag=fd_top In the Artcile they say Ok I have gone from one side of the spectrum to the other. I was once a huge newton fan and...

Intereting. It's not really a new file system per say. It is still HFS+ but they are adding a new overhead to storing files on HFS+. It's going to be something like a database file structure that stores your files. Sort of how like Novell stores files on Netware 5 and 6 and how the Be file...

I just got a Sony Clie NX60 and have been hit with a double wammy. Not only can I not sync with my mac until I get add-on software but I can't use avantgo under 10.2.1 I found a nice little replacement called iSiloX. I went to cliesource.com and found some guys who posted some alternate...

I don't think Best Buy wants to go there again. They didn't make much money from macs and supporting macs was a pain in the arse for their minimum wage techs. Apple has their retail stores now and selling Macs at Sears and Circuit City flopped. I wish things were different though. It...

I have a poll: Yes: macluv should pipe down and leave the forum Yes: Ed should kick macluv off the forum and remove his account. Yes: macluv should not be allowed to post on MacOSX.com. No: macluv should be allowed to post on MacOSX.com. How is that for a free speech? This has been a...

I think Apple will sell Windows based Apple branded computers before ever switching the MacOS to intel. That could actually be a cash cow for them considering they have to beat dell. They could be a one stop shop for Windows and MacOS based machines. They could do the Windows world what...

Wow... so telecom is where I should focus my efforts for next year. I was working in the advertising industry as an IT person and it's just died out. Now I am doing PC temp work. As for Apple's $45 million loss... it sure takes me back when the losses were $300 to $500 million a quarter...

Apple needs to move away from 32 bit. Screw the P4 and screw the G4. It needs to focus on the G5 or IBM Power 970, if those are not good enough then the AMD 64bit chip or Itanium2. It's time to stop looking at the P4 as the answers to everything. We have a really kick butt OS and a GUI...

There will be very little rewrite if any to port apps over to x86. Much of Cocoa uses MACH-O libraries and when compiling, you compile for Mach-O, not for PowerPC. Mach takes care of the rest so essentially, they could turn on a few switched, recompile and you have a FAT x86/PPC binary. The...

OMG I read it here too: http://news.com.com/2100-1040-963901.html?tag=fd_top Can you say: "Dude yer gettin' an iPod" I nearly spit my sodapop when I saw it. I don't know what to say but... and so it begins. I read a while back that Apple was going to try and become the next Sony...

Did they kill the Chicago, IL store idea? The space on Michigan Ave has sat empty for a long time but is now finally being used. I can't tell what they are doing to it but It doesn't look very "Apple" Such a sweet space too.

Im sorry but you can huff and puff all you want but fryke and all you guys who are hailing the G4 are just wrong. I don't care if it is 1.8 Ghz G4. I don't care if the G4 will be faster. It's running 32 bit apps faster. That doesn't do me any good. I'd much rather have a 1.5 Ghz 970...

I was under the assumption that the PowerPC 970 is going to be using similar if not compatible technology to that which will be going into the PS3 in 2005. Wouldn't this bring the price tag of said processor down to desktop standards? As for 64 bit... Windows 3.11 users didn't think we...

Since when? 8.1 was free. 8.6 was free as well. 9.1 cost $0.00 Since when has Apple charged for major updates? 10.3 will be just the same as 10.1 Expect it around March 2003
