Any UK users of Macrumors will no doubt appreciate the irony of The Mail running a 'human concern' story - the UK's most xenophobic, heartless and cold daily rag (think Fox News, but without the limited capacity for any sort of empathy). When they're in China, they're abused and exploited innocent victims of a faceless multinational; When they emigrate to seek a decent standard of living in the UK they become seedy, untrustworthy scroungers seeking an easy life.
Plus, I'm sure you could take a quick glance at major Daily Mail shareholders and see a few businessmen with interests in companies with a less than unblemished human rights record.

FIREFOX:
I like Firefox because you can block certain site pop-ups but allow others to give you pop-ups.
I really liked the way it did "find" just start typing the word you were looking for...doesn't do that anymore.

SAFARI:
Looks like an OS X app.
Doesn't have the status bar at the bottom...I kinda like that look. Makes the Window "float" more.

Of course, there's probably a huge difference in hardware costs, but hey, We're Number 3, We're Number 3, We're Number 3!
Yeah your exactly right, it gets the job done, and it gets it done very well, but macs are expensive enough, im sure just one chip would cost less.

I have a friend who is going to sell his PS2 along with 5 games for $90. Is this a good deal or I should look at a PS3. Is PS3's graphics so much better than the PS2?
1)Great deal!
2) If you have the $$$, you should look at the PS3. Much better graphics in PS3 games, HDMI interface will make many PS2 games look a bit sharper if you're planning on using a medium/large display (say 26" and up) with a good *internal scaler* that utilizes HDMI,(e.g. Sony XBR LCD's make SD TV and games look great, even with 480p signal). If multiplayer is your thing, PS3 will provide more entertainment from each game you buy that has a solid multiplayer component (e.g. Resistance:Fall...)
Playing only the PS2 will have you feeling lonlier as more and more switch to PS3.
3) If you are a big GTA fan, then your friend's deal is a no-brainer. Otherwise you'd be better off buying a PS3 and then just renting software through Gamefly, gameznflix, etc
4) Ask yourself how much you want gaming to be a part of your life. If you plop down the extra $$$ for the PS3, you may feel more compelled to use many of its features often enough to justify the purchase. If on the other hand you are only spending $90 then I can't see how you'd go wrong.

Consider it a burn in test. If it can fold for a week, it will probably last years.
:p Mine has been Folding 24/7 since I dl'd the PS3 update and Folding client last Thursday. So far so good. Probably won't make too much of a visible [to the wife;)] impact on our electric bill this month since we turned off the heat and aren't running AC yet.
In the meantime, my production has gone from 850 [using 11 processors] to 1,600ppd.

Activation is useless and is a royal pain for honest users. I was a PC user until recently so I had to use Adobe's activation on Photoshop. Everytime you rebuild a hard disk or upgrade a hard disk you cannot use the software until you activate. This would be fine until you run into problems with activation and it eats away hours of your life, especially if you have to wait for a live representative. Pirates will crack the activation (and yes, you can crack it, even on XP) so why this is implemented is beyond me other than to make paying customers life a little worse. :mad:

Wow. My first post... :D
Anyways, in response to speculation about the hidden meaning behind the Apple Logo, Wikipedia says otherwise.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer
Apparently the Apple Logo was designed 2 years prior to the Gay-Pride flag and does not follow the same color scheme.
Take it for what it is worth, it is the Internet after all...
Cheers.

Myself and my fiance have 3 computers in our apartment - her PC, my old PC, now running as a Win2k3 Enterprise Server box, and my 17" 1.25 GHz G4 iMac. My fiance will be selling her PC soon and picking up a new iBook, whenever they're released. Otherwise, I guess I just use my PC at work 5 days out of the week. It runs XP and it's extremely stable - haven't had any issues with it at all.

About this IBM/SIMD talk.
I find it highly ironic that IBM is now seeing the benefits of having a SIMD processing unit on their PPC chips. When Moto first introduced Altivec, IBM declined to use it. They steadfastly resisted introducing it in their own chips. Apple, saw it's benefits and went along with Moto's plans.
That decision probably cost IBM a lot of sales with Apple.
I guess IBM is now back in the SIMD game because of Apple's business.
Just ironic, I guess.

To all that say Microsoft's investment in Apple is what saved the company:
If it weren't for Microsoft, Apple wouldn't have been in a position to need saving in the first place!

Note, those 1 Ghz laptops are really more like 3 Ghz laptops. Where speed counts in using Photoshop and Canvas, you get that kind of speed. Of course you will only see internet speed increases if you use broadband. And Explorer is actually the slowest browser for my Mac. I use Mozilla and Chimera more often than not and sometimes iCab and Omniweb sprinkled in. There is almost no reason to use Explorer anymore.

Why would the processor trigger it? It's the same processors as before except the 1.25s and I don't think they put out that much more heat.
I do think you will see hot swappable drives but not in the fassion one would think. When the next version of Firewire comes out I see internal drives eventually using it. So that will make them hot swappable.

Sick of applescript programs for video conversion, here's my new Cocoa app written entirely in Objective-C, multithreaded, to encode a variety of movie formats into vcd mpeg1/svcd mpeg2, xvcd, xsvcd, and DVD ready for DVD Studio Pro format.
Digital Schism webpage:

There is a variety of different options available for todays media afficianado, we find the format to be trusted by the experts, and that maintains the widest range of compatability is MPEG. (Specifically MPEG-1 and MPEG-2)
It has become clear to us that it isn't as easy as it should be to convert the wide array of available media formats to (S/X)VCD/DVD. In an effort to answer a large demand for a simple to use program that encompasses the large spectrum of options available to the Macintosh platform we are proud to bring you Echelon.
Convert multiple files
Echelon delivers the capability of converting a large queue list of files to a variety of different MPEG based formats (MPEG-1 and MPEG-2). It aims to employ all the complex video tools in one easy to use program.
Limitless customization
In an effort to accomodate your personal needs each file maintains its own individual settings. It is also possible to save your favorite presets for future usage.
Fast, Reliable, Simple
We have put in endless hours of research to only allow conversion methods that will solely yield usable end products. We aim to have a harmonious blend of intuitition and simplicity, the things you have come to expect as a Macintosh user.
Advanced User Features
In an effort to meet the needs of the varied levels of experience within our userbase we have implemented an array of advanced features for each encoder included.
Realtime Preview
In addition to intuitive graphical and textual progress indication, the user has the freedom to view the actual frames of video as they are encoded.
Multiple Effect Filters
From adjusting gamma (to be implemented later), to deinterlacing, to denoising we attempted to supply all the necessary effect filters for any of your desired outcomes.
World friendly
We will be localizing Echelon in multiple languages, and are up to suggestion for any localizations we didn't cover, dont hesitate to contact us with more language suggestions.
