Wouldn't it be great if Apple and Motorola collaborated on the 'iPhone'? This would likely be the best thing for Apple because Moto is already in the cell phone business and Apple could use that to leverage it's market share in the cell phone market. If they wanted to, they could even leave it up to Moto to do all the advertising, saving Apple tons of money.
Best thing yet, such a phone would likely be cheap because Apple could forfeit all the R&D that goes into and instead use Moto's already-developed technology. Apple could just design it and provide the software that goes into it!
Moto would benefit, too, because it obviously would make money from this and use it to invest R&D into future PPC processors (maybe, if their not pig-headed)!
A lot of this makes so much sense (Translation: Please do not flame me! :( ).

Developers can make a cheap buck by porting PS2 games to Wii or adding some waggle to a bunch of mini games.

While Dell DVD player does indeed suck, there are some good windows DVD players out there. Judging M$ by the bundled DVD player that Dell ships on their PeeCees does not seem very fair. :o
Ok ok I might be a bit rough but the last time I played DVD player on Windows... whenever I inserted the DVD movie, there's a popup that say do you want to install this new DVD player app? This sucks too. :cool: Can you name me one of their good dvd player and I can check it out? Thanks! :p

Hahaha! Wow! I thought I would never have a reason to share my media on a 360, but for security purposes, I should :) That is amazing and stupid on your neighbor's part. See, there's reason to invest in the $100 WiFi dongle. :D
Please do keep us posted. That may not enough for a warrant, but maybe having a cop visit either homes may be enough for someone to break. It is only down to two houses after all.
Wow, stealing WiFi AND a X-Box 360? Any laws in your area about stealing an internet connection? :D

Yes, but so are other icons, like Conversation, to name one... ;)
Well you beat me to another example, but the two ichat like icons in the stock icon pack from fast icon, http://www.fasticon.com/aqualandfull.html, are another example, but... cost you $349. At anyrate like != same.

That's a great idea and it would be nice to be able to customise the machine a little more than at present (might even make the machines for affordable to some and give the power boasts to those who want it). Shame I don't think it will happen.

You see, the 7G would represent the 7xx product line of IBMs, and the 8G would represent IBMs 8xx series of the PowerPC processor, thus warranting the use of 7 and 8, as opposed to 5 and 6.
Besides, Apple could always claim that they've switched to radically different computer parts, and it might spur sales.

Just in case anybody is interested...
I made a simple CoreImage test app to try and get to grips with CoreImage. It's not very advanced but it can do a number of effects and is fun to play with.
I need somebody to host it for the moment because I'm away from my webserver so if anybody can do that then it will be available for download.
Requires a CoreImage compatible graphics card that is Quartz2DExtreme capable. Works nice and smoothly on my 17" Powerbook (Most recent gen).

Yes, the Formac 2010 does have a lot going for it. If Apple doesn't give us something comparable or superior soon, I am likely to go with that, and I wouldn't buy less than that.
What I had meant as far as "HDTV" widescreen was the full 1920 x 1080 pixels (or 1920 x 1200, as Apple chose for its 23", leaving room for a toolbar) that is the maximum resolution of the HDTV format. Presumably, this is going to become the most relevant standard for displaying imagery throughout the early 21st century and would let my upcoming computer monitor purchase do double duty as an HDTV display in the years ahead.

$99 is pretty steep for basically remembering your bookmarks and desktop photo. Everything else you, such as documents, email etc you can just store as files on your ipod.
Us mac users can even go one step better, with CarbonCopyCloner we can take our whole computer with us - as long as your iPod is big enough that is! And all for free!
It would be nice to have an easy backup option, like idisk on pod I guess. Don't think it would be a big deal for me but it would be nice.

Could the sudden price reductions and Phil's name on the press releases mean that there is trouble brewing at apple? Will SJ announce his resignation next week? (lol, i think that might be a bit far-fetched :rolleyes:

Therein lay the problem. Most people are using the music illegally.
The record industry is right.
In your own analogy of Joe Public burning a track on his wedding video.
Guess what? when he distributes those copies to wedding guests he breaks the law.
It's illegal for him to do that. It is stealing. He pirated it.
The problem is we have become so used to stealing that we don't recognize it as such anymore. We justify it away.
Almost no one would even consider it to be wrong if they bought a cd copied it and gave it to their friends. It is wrong. It's stealing/pirating.
It is wrong? How so? If I burn a track for my wedding video, yes, I'm technically breakeing the law, but there is nothing immoral about doing that. No one is losing out on any money. No one is being hurt. He isn't stealing anything. He's breaking a copyright law that makes no sense in that case.

Faster this, faster that. Software here, software there. Upgrade this, upgrade that. Blah! Blah! Blah!
I like computers just as much as the next geek but when you break it all down what can't you do with computers and OS's from even 5 years ago that you can today? In truth the only real benefits are that Windows and Mac systems are faster and more stable than they used to be. For Macs to make any inroads more innovation is the key. They cannot compete on price/performance and never will. Moving to x86 could help of course. Note that most people don't buy Macs because of price and not because of performance issues.
So with this in mind if you set aside the small contingent that truly needs faster Macs for their jobs in professional settings, the Mac really needs lower prices and more innovation. Do that and Apple will have a winner that they would need to open up the clone market again just to be able to make enough of them.
Frankly this whole benchmark argument is stupid for most of the people here. Benchmarks should be used as nothing more than a guide and you should have multiple sources if you want to base a purchasing decision from them alone. Too many people treat them as the end all be all.

As most have said, it is kinda fun to play around with. But what is the actual use of it? Sure, you can analyse statistical data from the net, but other than that....not much point to it.
Well maybe it is useful for small businesses because they can find out where people are interested in them and all that other stuff.
