Yes, but they sorta specified the loop thing, so...

It's definitely a typo one that's made it's rounds I have to say. There have been several sites advertising the new Dual/DDR/1.5Ghz machines. For some reason it's really easy to leave out the 2.

I started Looking In December of 2001 on my PowerBook G4. At the time I was looking into rumors about the "new" iMac... After the Unveiling I joined to help people (With my 10+ years of Computer Repair expertise)[Not bad for someone who's just about to turn 20], and to make comments on Ideas, and laughably funny rumors.

leave god out of scientific reasoning, you cant mix blind faith (and it is blind) with science.
Blind faith, yes, I'd agree with you - just automatically going along with whatever anyone else says without giving it some thought yourself and questioning it is foolhardy - in fact, it's a definition of brainwashing.
To get an understanding, I think both of you should read post #37 on this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=1581910#post1581910). Any questions you have I will answer to the best of my ability. Feel free to give me a private message if you want. ;)

Granted www.cpuscorecard.com doesn't really clarify what benchmarks they use, but in their estimation, a dual 1.25GHz Mac beats a 2.4 Ghz P4 by a hair, and is just a little behind a 2.8 GHz P4. Likewise, a 800MHz G4 is very comparable to a 1.8 Ghz P4. The important thing that I see in this ranking is that in perusing the rest of this website, the people who came up with these ratings do not look to be particularly Mac friendly.
Based on this, I would have to disagree with your assertion that "the g4 cannot beat the p4 in performance", unless your only criteria for performance is sheer GHz speed. It seems to me that at the high end, the two chips are at least competitive, and in the middle of the pack, I would say that Macs are a better buy.

"AMD will beat Apple anyway. Hammer versions of Athlons are due out early next year to mid next year"
As you well know, Apple is not competing directly with AMD. Apple is competing with the PC manufactures (Dell, Gateway, etc.) using 64-bit AMD chips and OS's that would utilize 64-bit technology from say, Microsoft.
There definitely is a Hammer chip, but which manufactures are vowing to use it, and will there be a Microsoft OS 64-bit compliant Windows -- all complete and ready by the time the AMD chip is released. In addition, are these companies looking to produce Desktops with this technology, or more primarily focusing on server use. Do these manufactures even have incentives to upgrade to 64-bit technology when they have 3+ Ghz intels, and AMDs? For all lmarketing purposes, they would be downgrading (1.8 ghz (64) compared to 3+ ghz (32)).
I wouldn't count Apple out on this one -- them being first and doing it well. I would say they have incentives to integrate this 64-bit tech for the pro side -- the side of their product line that might be hurting. How do we know that Apple hasn't been colaborating with IBM and configuring OS X Panther (or whatever) to run spanking fast with the new chips? And have PowerMacs already working at headquarters?
And
The unique thing about Apple is that in order for this 64-bit thing to take hold, it needs to colaborate with two people: itself and IBM.
With other manufactures, they have to colaborate with: themselves, Microsoft, and the Chip maker.
Maybe Apple can be first?
I don't know, it is just a brainstorm...

Hello All,
I got thinking after seeing the iMac G5 and how it was made that there is a good chance that they could make a PDA/Tablet, with OS X, with ease. I have a good feelinh Apple will make such a divice within a year or so. The Apple Newtons on eBay sell for Over $75-200, so Apple making a PDA type divice would be great, there was news that Apple had a newer pattent for a PDA Divice. We can all hope for a Newton again:)...
Thanks All,
Mark Jozaitis

I would go with a Mac after Leopard comes out. PS3 is fun but computer much more versatile.
I think it comes down to.
Do you want a computer or a console?

Echoing a comment I saw elsewhere, why doesn't someone just hire this guy. It probably costs more for Apple to sue each person than it would be to hire them and keep them busy fixing these problems internally.
Maybe he's not for hire. Not everyone can be bought. Or, maybe he's already working for Napster.

Just wondering what everyone thinks might be released or updated at MWSF. Does anyone think that the PowerMacs will get an update by that time? I'm pretty sure the new PowerBooks will be released by then, and definitely a new 19" lcd (maybe even an update to the entire line?)
Personally I'm shopping for a PowerMac but I don't wanna buy it today and then come MWSF an updated version comes out. Do you guys think this will happen? :confused:
Anyways, let me know what you guys think, and what you guys expect and/or are hoping for when MWSF comes rolling into SF's Moscone Center (its literally across the street from my office :D).

my friend had his xbox stolen a long time ago, each xbox have a unique ID number, which can be found out when online. his was found cause of the video store that bought it from the thieves takes the numbers off the bottom of the unit. if you have your box and paper work and know the unit's numbers you can try calling around at video stores generic ones and others like EB and Game stop. MS should not be doing what they are doing cause it makes them look bad cause they have the power to track it down and see the ID number and its IP address to track it down to give the info the police to catch them.
my friend got his back cause the thieves took it to a local generic video store and my friend knew the numbers on the bottom of the unit and the video store got the name of the thieve so police caught him.
it seem's like you are getting the run around from MS cause they want you to buy another 360 to make them more money. this looks bad on MS part in not doing anything in helping to track down the stolen 360. i thought that is why the unique ID was given to each system just for that case. and the fact they are using the live account, they can also be buying games with it which is like stealing your credit card.

Hmm, yeah I think I've heard about that before. Thanks. I'll have to look around to see if there's a way to make it work with my mac, or I guess I could just use windows...
If you have an intel Mac then you may be able to use crossover (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/download_trial_macosx/) to get the windows drivers for the XboX controller to work under Mac OS X. I have used it to make the windows drivers for my Logitech Precision Gamepad to work and it is flawless for that purpose.

i wonder if i know what they will teach me there or wil it help? Also my local Apple store does not really have anywere to take kids.. its a smaller store:(
you mean the one at the Promenade(sp?) maybe they'll just do it at the Genius Bar or something.
and i doubt it'll help you in anyway. It seems pretty basic.
My parents need it more than me:D
So do mine:rolleyes:

This is very cool... there are a ton of uses for stuff like this...
Apple may disable it, but if they created software for this the AEx can be very profitable, more than it currently is...
BUT can't other routers already do this? (cough linksys)

I'm not pleased with this development, because Apple's DRM is necessary to maintain the compromise they made with the record labels and allow the iTunes Music Store to exist in the first place. If the labels gets the jitters about how well Apple is controlling distribution, that threatens a good part of our "supply" of music, even though I wouldn't expect a large percentage of mainstream customers to actually use a program like PyMusique.
Will Apple be able to teach the iTunes Music Store to distinguish the real iTunes client from PyMusique with software changes only on the server side? If not, I imagine that only an iTunes update (which people would have to install) could stop the program from working.
Suppose iTunes is updated to use a new "secret handshake" with the iTunes Music Store in order to stop other clients from spoofing iTunes. Will iTunes have any way to distinguish tunes previously purchased through PyMusique from tunes acquired from other sources, i.e., ripped from CDs? Perhaps the tags identify them as coming from iTMS and iTunes could apply DRM after the fact. Then again, tags can be removed.

I'm sure if MS or Nintendo for that matter didn't pay up they would be calling FF a thing of the past as well. It happened to sony and we all know about it but now its on its way back and lets be happy about it.

What Qps/copy desk allows you to do is have the editors write in a seperate program (copy desk) so they don't f-up your nice layouts. The two work together, i.e. the writers work in copy desk and the text appears in your quark layout. Without them ever having access to move shapes/objects around. The process really speeds things up, as you can work on the layout while they're writing. It's not a matter of being able to accept files or not.
