Apple has said that they don't want to do hardware releases at the shows anymore because people are timing/delaying their purchases. They have also been following this plan for the last year. Still, I don't believe it. The January show is special and I expect hardware to be released. I...

Perhaps it's due to the fact that *my* iBook horribly underpowered that have a special dislike of the G3. It's hard to watch longer web pages (such as those found on slashdot) take 18 seconds to render while my cpu is maxed out at 100%. I've played with the newer/faster iBooks at the apple...

Hmm, you seem to have a lot of agreement on this board but sadly your post is mostly fact free. Let me try and clear up some errors: The G4 is faster even if the app isn't optimized for Altivec. Here's why: Integer operations: The G3 is capable of executing three integer operations per...

Ok, it runs cooler, I'll give you that. To say that it runs "quieter" hardly seems true. Yeah, it needs less cooling but my iBook is *much* louder than my P3 IBM thinkpad. The fact that it doesn't need as much cooling doesn't mean much if apple puts piece of junk fans in the case...

Nice instructions. My CD is burning as we speak. Thanks a million, Vanguard

Friends, I bought a music cd and I want a backup. Using Jaguar, how do I make a backup? Vanguard PS Please be detailed in your instructions.

Interesting idea. I *think* that iMovie already fails to support the G3. Maybe there are more apps that will fall into that catagory? I would also be surprised to see apple do this without putting the iBook on a G4 waaay in advance. However, I'm wrong about something everyday. Why should...

Well, my best bet is iWeb or iBrowser or whatever they decide to call an apple branded browser. My hope is for something like iTV with Tivo like functionality. Vanguard PS Everybody who disagrees with me is dumb. /me runs and hides from Ed :)

This story implies it was a sony vio. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=857&e=13&u=/nm/20021122/od_uk_nm/oukoe_health_penis

It might be nice for classes. My use for something like this would be meetings. I'm in RTP, NC and I work with people in San Jose, CA every day. It would great if I could use a tablet PC as a whiteboard while I'm talking about approaches to a problem. On a related topic, it really look...

You guys may have seen this already but I thought the Elen Feiss pumpkin pattern would make the guys around here laugh. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,56105,00.html Vanguard

I saw this too. If going intel means the system becomes faster and less expensive then I'm all for it. Still, I predict that Apple will stay PowerPC. Maybe IBM's upcoming chip, maybe something from Motorola, maybe something we haven't thought of.

My company recently offerered a course on patents. The idea was to help us engineers know what kind of things we can patent and how it helps the company. As an example he showed us a 1984 Apple patent on the pull down menu. It turns out that sometime in the mid-nineties Apple and their...

I voted "no" also. I think it's good to hear about what's going on in the windows camp. I posted a thread regarding longhorn screenshots that turned into a battlefront. That's unfortunate but it takes two to tango. Anyway, a little windows new will keep the forum alive. It's better than...

Yeah, I was doing my homework for grad school. I guess we do have something in common. :-) Vanguard

Javintosh, Are you talking about me? I suspect that you are but that you prefer to post your libel without directly confronting me. Anyway, I put up the link to screenshots because not everybody on the forum shares your disinterest for msft. Many of people like to follow what their...

Can anybody explain what the benefits to msft's "filesytem is a database" system will be? It seems like most of the advantages (like being easily searchable) can be achieved through indexing without the performance hit. Anybody want to give an explanation a try?

Ok, I know this is "mac" os news and rumours but a lot of people around here still have an interest in what msft is doing. Here are some pictures. http://www.tech-critic.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=358&mode=&order=0&thold=0 My opinion, they seem fine. I kind of like OSX...

I doubt it. He likes to see mac users start to froth at the mouth like rabid dogs after he pokes at them. I bet he''s glad he posted this.
