    Mac OS 11?

    I still laugh at how many people get all drummed up about the fact that X is a ROMAN NUMERAL which yes, is read aloud as "ten". Back on topic, I could care less what the OS is called, I care about what it offers to the world. Right now, my favorite OS is X, on a very powerful computer.

    new 20" display BEAUTIFUL

    I dont care how good a display is, and I am not short on money, I can buy 5 of those LCD's if I really wanted, but no way in hell am I going to spend over 1 thousand dollars on a display. I would rather buy a larger desk and buy a big fat CRT. Especially the Sony Trini's. Although, I suppose...

    You Can Print!!

    Amazing. I am continually blown away by the mac developer community and their ability to support products that the companies themselves are either a) too stupid or b) too lazy to support themselves. Kudos to this programmer...

    Chimera 0.5 is out!

    Apple/Steve Jobs- Dump IE already, eesh. Chimera is the clear choice for the future. Do the right thing. Damnit.

    Firewire still whomps on USB 2.0

    When I read about USB a few years ago [an article on 12mb/s USB ethernet adapters] the writer dispelled a lot of notions about USB bandwidth....and [supposedly] what it comes down to was the fact that there is a lot more overhead on USB than other transport mechanisms.

    Apple Secretly Maintaining X86 Port Of OS X

    I see this whole problem as more of a "what will bankrupt them first" scenario. Over the years I have watched apple. Sometimes it seems like they are just about to bite the big one, yet somehow, they always pull through. Its like the company that won't die.

    Firewire still whomps on USB 2.0

    plastic- boards like the nforce w/amd chipset for the PC side have included firewire for a while.....but the problem is that most mainstream PC manufacturers dont include such quality motherboards or reserve boards with those extra connectivity options for their absolute "highest end" pc's

    How is 10.2? Rate it now!

    I gave jaguar a 4 because I like all the new features and the OS itself does almost everything I want it to do. The only feature I really want to see is snappier window performance, especially [specifically] resizing windows and scrolling in web browsers. Other than that I have no real...

    Firewire still whomps on USB 2.0

    A mac introduced me to Firewire in the 1st place....and I love it. Its really pathetic how bad firewire support/awareness is on the PC side. From what I hear the main reason is that intel wants to push tech like USB because it is more cpu dependant, therefore contributing to more taxing...

    Jaguar breaks apple's OS sales record.

    I think this is a good example of WOM advertising, which im sure the apple community is no stranger to. After all, there was no mainstream media about Jaguar was there? No TV commercials, etc... Heck, someone I know who watched an apple switch ad [and wasnt listening 100% carefully to it]...

    QE Performance - the true picture!

    Karavite, you sound *almost* as eccentric as I do in real life. But I consider that a good thing. Anyhow. If we dont stop whining about these little points, who will be left to annoy the "nothing is wrong" purists? :) Seriously though, I honestly hold more hope for a rogue programmer to...

    QE Performance - the true picture!

    Heh. Despite your obvious obsession Karavite, I have to agree with you on all points. [lets just keep patting ourselves on the back, it feels good :) ] Anyhow. I personally would think OS X was nearly perfect if they got rid of that one issue. The rest of Jaguar is top notch.

    QE Performance - the true picture!

    This is a response to dime- And other OS's dont use graphics or graphics acceleration? I suppose we should all stick to text based operating systems and just forget the 21st century. Thats funny, because its slow on my 800mhz Imac and dual 1ghz powermac as well. Now you're really...

    Remember Apple and G5?

    How do you know its not an effort to reduce inventory? The whole idea is that this is just speculation. Nobody predicted the future or anything. Let me give you an example. Apple has some kind of contract with Motorola. They will purchase X million amount of G4s by certain time, etc etc...

    X.2.1 and QE

    I just want to note that my panther codename prediction was in fact correct feel free to check my post from a while back :) :) :) :)

    Remember Apple and G5?

    I thought of the fact that they must be dumping a lot of g4 inventory as well, when they announced the all dual powermacs.... It would definitely make sense on some level that something is coming, especially since so many people are WAITING for something newer and faster in the first place...

    Jag and Radeon 8500 and window resize is lousy???!!! Please help!

    although this must be a painfully obvious comment, it seems as though quartz is way too far ahead of its time, and poorly concieved in this respect as far as hardware/cpu requirements....and the inability to be fully accelerated or at least perform adequately by many person's standards...

    WOOOHOOOO command-tab is fixed! [10.2]

    this is better, but i agree with what vanguard said 110% , why you should need a program like liteswitch [which i've used and consider to be a super-useful utility]....to do something the OS should already be doing...is just beyond me. I too have qualms with apple's seeming forgetfulness...

    best browser for a scroll speed fanatic?

    Chimera by my judgement as well. chimera.mozdev.org really no idea why apple isnt using this browser yet. They always have to re-invent the wheel I suppose.
