What are you looking to do? Something like Coldfusion or PHP with a mySQL backend is extremely powerful as well as completely customizable. I'd say this would be worlds better than Access and very cross platform capable (as long as they have a modern web browser)

I don't think that they'll be shipping anytime around WWDC. I think they'll be introduced then. THey could have as much as a 3 to 4 month lead in time before you see any of these machines in the hands of end users.

The iTunes music server is basicaly a web server running on a different port. By telneting into localhost on my machine I've been able to download music using HTTP GET. Let's just suffice it to say that this can easily be done without the use of any hack, although you do have to be familiar...

I have been looking for the program in question and I must say that it is very illusive. I've been curious on how the daap protocol works and have been trying to figure this out on my own with some packet sniffing and a few google searches. Even with the info that I've found on my own I...

Yes, this is true. What I, and I believe Dave17lax, was having trouble with was that iTunes actualy will hold many images of album art. even though it doesn't tell you this. I had used the wrong picture and then tried replacing it by draging in another. Instead of replacing it, it added the...

The PPC970 info from IBM has been impressive, I must admit. IBM has also been one to show it how it is, not to inflate benchmarks. The only problem is that these benches are not of the production processor. these are pre production models that could undergo drastic changes before they're...

This is widely known as Jobs' "Reality Distortion Field" No matter what he says at a keynote, everybody eats it up and is drooling for more. If nothing else, he is an excelent public speaker. As far as the 970 being an entirely new experience... I think apple has been listening to everybody...

If you've actualy seen the GUI that Xerox had you'll definately find that it's a blatent rip off. Apple did their fair share of copying on it. Much more than Microsoft did with copying the Mac GUI for windows. The only difference is that Apple negotiated a deal with Xerox. EDIT: A...

the advertised size of a HD is normaly "pre-format" When formatting a disk it takes up space that could potentialy be used for data storage. I'm sure that with the 15 gig pod they're basing the size of the advertised size of the HD.

There are two of the think different posters that I want and have been unable to find... the Einstein and the Buzz Aldrin posters.

Apple has been lagging performance wise (on hardware) for quite some time. Imagine if we had waited for Quark Express before we got OS X. Most of us would still be hobling along in OS 9. Apple needs to get their fastest out there as soon as possible. Once people see what the new chip will...

Ahh, very nice. I'll be in line with you to purchase one! :D

I really like the current look of OS X. I'm not a big fan of the new buttons. They remind me too much of buttons within XP. They look like cheap knockoffs of OS X's buttons. As far as the scan lines go, I feel that they're needed. Something to break up the solid white color a little. I...

eXtra Processor! :D

Since the majority of us aren't running on the latest and greatest hardware, we'll see a noticable improvement over our current machines. This is even if the OS and apps aren't 64 bit native yet. If it boots, I'll buy it. I'll get a big speed boost when I get the machine and a another when...

I wasn't mad at all that I didn't get the G4. I got the G3 at a great price. I normaly bought a new computer aprox every 2 years. That two years was up when I bought my current machine. My G3 has done everything that I've wanted it to do since I purchased it. If I had the need for more...

I will truthfully never understand what the obsession that case modding has brought about. The windows and the Cold Cathode tubes have gotta go. The "coolness" of a PC seems to be directly proportional to the amount of fans you can cram into it. It looks personalized but gaudy. I really...

EXACTLY! When i bought my G3 and the G4 came out 3 weeks later I swore I wasn't going to buy a computer untill the next gen came out... Little did I know that would be 4 years. I just about broke down a few months ago and bought a dual 1.25 I'm glad I didn't. I can now patiently wait for...

Sorry to disappoint but you're not really going to find any benchmarks on how a Mac will beat a PC as far as pure processing power. The main component of the reason that I enjoy them is that they seem to be more stable and easier to use. The OS makes sense. Windows seems way to thrown...
