There are a couple of points to this thread. First is to ask how many people have really started leveraging the "Services" menu? This was a truly cool concept from the NEXTSTEP days that has received precious little attention (as far as I can tell). I'm just wondering if this is because few...

Or Sony-ish. This reeks of the Sony comparisons of past. Seems an odd acquisition. But perhaps fits into a larger strategy. Could Apple also then buy Pixar (from Steve) putting together a complete multimedia/technology company (a la Sony)?

The eMac sells for $999. All-in-one (fewer cables/parts; lower power consumption). Perfect for school labs. One must also consider the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). If I have to hire one (or more) FT people ot manage my "cheaper" PC machines, are they really cheaper? This doesn't include...

Aren't most presidencies? I've met more people that were "devought Clintonites" or "devought Bushites" wherein neither could do wrong (and the opposition was ALWAYS wrong). Sounds like a cult to me. :D

Yes but... This is about strategy. Apple MUST take measures to ensure that they cannot be blackmailed by Microsoft again. I think Keynote (and Safari) is an indicator (from Apple to MS) that they cannot be blackmailed (as they have been in the past). Microsoft is not likely to dump office for...

Actually, this is not true. They would be able to cross-compile, use "fat binaries" to support multiple chip architectures.

Considering their speculation on profit Apple left behind on this decision...as a shareholder...that's bad.

If Apple does this, this is the way they will do it. Look at their other things...AddressBook...iCal...Mail. One application does one thing, it does it well, it integrates with the other apps. No "Swiss Army Knifes" here.

There is...QuickTime Player...errr...Preview...errr...Acrobat Reader...

The AddressBook feature is slick!

1. It DOES have pop-up blocker. 2. It need appearanced preferences to dump the underlined links. I hate those. Every other browser has this. 3. It need tabs (like Chimera) 4. It has to remember its window position from launch to launch. 5. I like the more compact controls (including the...

Mine sucks too! Is there an audio only stream?

That thing looks clumsy and ugly.

It is also important to note that there were MP3 players on the market before iPod. Even some with hard drives. It's not ONE feature or spec that makes the iPod (or a Mac for that matter) a better product...it is ALL of them. For example there were higher capacity HD MP3 players than the...

Not YET.

Nope. You are wrong. Sorry. And at this point we have no idea (and probably very little chance) that this will change. At most, I expect Apple to CONTINUE their practice of charging for the upgrades of iMovie, iDVD (and new to this...iPhoto). Probably as a bundle.

I love this one. I am a software engineer. I've written NEXTSTEP (the predecessor to Cocoa and OS X) applications. I couldn't do close to what Apple has done in less than a week. Full-time. At my current bill rate...If Apple charged $50 for iCal ONLY...I'd be in the hole after the first hour of...

iCal is definitely faster for me. Clicking to bring it foward...window displays in about 1 second vs. like 5 before! Resize of todo pane is much faster. Adding events either by drag and drop or double-click is much faster. Calendar switching is also faster. Launch of some applications is...

Sure looks like something Apple might do.

I am no hardware engineer (and frankly I suspect that some of those that speak with such "authority" on these board about suhc issues, are not either). Anyway, my question is this...why can't multiple CPU's be a solution to the performance gap? In particular, as my use of a multi-tasking...
