Thanks for the feedback. We are now going to start testing FontReserve and FontAgent Pro. I will keep you guys posted.

I was smoking alot of crack back when I posted this thread. I do not retract the statement but I do want to say that I was one of the main people behind the adoption of the PowerPC 970. I still think Apple could ultimately move away from relying on hardware. However people think that to do...

Now that QuarkXPress 6 has been released I was curioius if anyone has had time to test it and share their experience with using QuarkXpress 6. We are planning our MacOS 10 migration this year and will need a robust package for our designers. Thanks!

I know this has been brought up time and time again on these boards but I was wondering if any creative agencies have real world experience working with font management on OS 10 I am currently looking at Suitcase, Font Reserve, and Font Agent Pro. There are some pro's and con's to each but I...

You guys are forgetting one thing about Pixar. They have Disney looking down on them and Disney distribution capabilities which include ABC, ESPN, ABC Family, etc. Think "American Idol" type of stuff but for ABC. I think Pixar would be more viable than Apple because Steve Jobs has...

well actually that is not the reason why it can reasonably emulate a PC. A G3 would not be able to do it as well as a G4. The PowerPC is a risc chip and can switch between big and little endian. That means it can come very close to quickly calculating x86 instructions. With an altivec core...

The probably won't kill it but the will: a.) Use it as another leverage against apple to sell more copies of Office and this product to keep it alive. In otherwards, blame apple if the product doesn't rake in enough dough. b.) Increase the price by USD $100 c.) Instead of the frequent...

There are a slew of Mpeg-4 video players/mp3 players similar if not better than iPod that debuted at CES this year. RCA is entering the game with a nice video player. Apple is going to be getting stiff competition by this summer. That's why I brought it up.

The article can be found here: http://news.com.com/2100-1040-981443.html?tag=fd_top I wonder if Apple is going to jump on this with their devices. Not a PDA persay but PDA-like iPod-like hybrids. Could Apple run the GUI on top of a linux kernel? Could they even do the dirty and get Mach...

Chimera was/is still alot more advanced than Safari. It's had time to be refined and added many useful features such as tabs, the ability to remember your form entries in the keychain (which no other browser does). It had superior rendering capabilities. It also had some issues. Javascript...

Well i think you are completely wrong since this would be repackaging of Opensource projects which has already had years of development. The only thing that would need to be done is the cocoaization of the products which already work under MacOS X using X11. As for the "Pro" version, it would...

I would like to add to their predictions with a new Apple TV. Possibly an extension of their current Monitors with the introduction of 32" and 46" Plasma monitors. This move would be Ala gateway and basically have some cool hub features but not be a full Mac. It would be the next step in your...

I would love to see an Apple branded version of an Open Source project. It could be based on OpenOffice but then that has a built in presentation program as it is. Not sure the interface is the best either. They could also base it on KOffice. Since they are already doing stuff with KDE's...

Bandai and Apple worked on the Pippin. It was a Bandai product though. The idea of Apple making an OS for PS2 doesn't seem like an honest rumor to me and I don't think it would ever happen. Despite that, it would not be that far fetched when you consider Apple tried this in 1994 and was way...

It has alot to do with Apple. Don't forget Apple has a stake in two semiconductuor businesses. Though not sure how much their ARM holding are these days but have you not forgotten that they are the "A" in the AIM alliance? They own the rights to PowerPC name just as much as Motorola and IBM...

PS2 was announced and the technology was known by late 1998. It wasn't releast until Fall 2000. I would assume this to be at least 65% accurate Fryke.

I don't see the point of this since 800 mbits/second only equals about 100 mbytes a second... which is still slower than ATA133 which is 133 mbytes a second. Serial-ATA is going to initially come out at 150 mbytes a second. Much faster than Firewire 800. I think this is too little too late...

You are correct about their bases being covered. The hardware is still stagnating though. It's not entirely 100% apple's fault but it is something that is happening on their professional lines. Aside from firewire 2.0 and usb 2.0 and improved memory there hasn't been much innovation in...

Yes, that is pretty much correct. That doesn't prevent someone from making an unsupported kernel that supports another motherboard and just putting MacOS 10 on top of it. Cmon guys I am only trying to raise a discussion about this. You guys are flaming me but have done nothing to discuss...

http://news.com.com/2100-1040-979129.html?tag=fd_lede1_hed That's the proof. These are all cocoa based apps which means they will require little to no rewrite for x86. It is proof because we all know Apple cannot canibalize hardware as a hardware company but this is proof they are moving...
