why would you use firefox over camino (assuming a mac here)? personally, i think the camino look & feel is more mac like, but aside from that what makes firefox any different?
I switched to Firefox as soon as Panther arrived because Camino version 0.7 did not display text correctly any longer. Overall, Firefox gets the more and more interesting updates since it is used by a wider audience.
Considering that a browser usually displays a variety of web pages, each with their own look and feel, I don't care a lot how the browsers buttons look, as long as things are organised well, I'm happy.

If you want to get exceptional mathematical performance then why are you getting a micro computer???? I cannot out-type my computer and i cannot do mathematical functions fater than it, or even excel with all of its overhead.
BTW, my g4 is soooo slow at doing maths functions that i finished an assignment a whole 5mins ahead of a mate. In excel. these were some serious slowdown stuff, 10 cross-referenced, dependently linked, nested functions sheets. Now my mac only has 2 867s with 256ddr, his p4 2.53 with 512 couldnt beat me, WITH WIN95.
Now any more real world tests you would like????:D

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.The artist who recorded the piece, and the writer of the piece, are being denied the monetary compensation they are legally entitled to, so yes, someone is losing out on money.
Radio stations can't play music without paying for it, and movies and TV shows can't include music without paying for it (these licensing fees are why, for example, you will never see WKRP in Cincinnati on DVD, since licensing the music would cost too much). A wedding videographer who uses someone else's music is themselves profiting from its use without compensating the creator. And that's wrong.
There are plenty of sources for royalty-free music, and there is software that will even let you create your own original pieces, that you can use however you wish. But if someone wants to use "Wind Beneath My Wings" on their wedding video, and distribute it to 250 people, then yes, they should get the permission of the song's owner, and pay them appropriately.

hmm the EULAs would have to be signed before you buy the product...(as far as i know) ... or be printed on the box (make that huge boxes)
any 'rules' etc. appearing after the program is executed are not valid in germany (as judged by some german court)
so in germany: toilet paper
austria: ditto

One other thing, does anyone know what happens when you cancel your subscription?? I am assuming that the DLed tracks stay on your PC, they just become unplayable. Just wondering if I DL a bunch of stuff then cancel the subscription if I can still convert the songs to MP3.
According to the T&Cs the tracks stay on your hard drive. The DRM protects them from being played. I suppose this is to reactivate your tracks if you renew your subscription at some point in the future. Can't imagine it will be too long though before someone cracks Napster's DRM and you can access those tracks.

ok some of these ideas are starting to sound non-realistic ;), i doubt there'dd be a 21" imac any time in the next 5 years...MAYBE there will hopefully be a nvidia/ati graphix card that has built in dual monitor support, so then u can have fun with a 21" monitor or 23" monitor or whatever lol, dont u think a 21" monitor would be a lil heavy for the stand? and to carry?
these would be really good ideas but theydd cost more than most of us can afford (concidering how much a 21" lcd screen costs)
for now 17" is excellent for an imac, so no need for a 19" screeen that'll cost 500+ more than the 17", ive been using a 17" screen for 2.5 years now and its still excellent for most stuff i do...watching movies, chatting, surfing the web, using word....
a 3 ghz G5 and a 21" imac would be sold basically to ppl who can actually afford it *cough richies cough* :P..which isnt that many ppl :(

I agree that I would rather see a superdrive and bluetooth (and hell, how about a GPS receiver) bulit into the new portables, rather than a second processor. I don't spend to much time being processor bound, except when i am trying to run VPC.

Question for iBook users:
I noticed iBooks in a few different computer stores that had damaged keyboards. Those particular ones were beyond repair. Because it was with more than one, it made me wonder about how well the things are put together. Has this been an issue with iBooks? Maybe the original iBooks? Or are store customers just overly hard on them?
Still thinking on whether to get a new Powermac or a portable. I'll probably just get an upgrade card and wait another year.

should apple look into expanding a little yeah might be a good idea. Right now they are pretty heaving with all there eggs in one basket. If that market flops at some point in time apple goes with it.
But at the same time expanding 2 quickly will kill a company just the same. If anything I think apple should look at expanding into the TV market and see some high end TVs. it a good market it to get into and it right up apple alle right now. Good way to make money. Looks good and they are still not really leaving there core. GPS is a little out side of apple core.
Mind you apple does have a cult following so they could easily put dog crap in a white box, sell it for 100 bucks and sell quite a few of them having people claim how good it is. (sad part is you all know it true.) But that being said not only would you get the nut jobs that would buy anythign apple says and claim it is great you would get integent people who can think for themselves buying the product that in turn bring even more people to apple.

I think he was pointing out that end users are indeed overclocking the 1250 MHz chip you reference, to 1.5GHz, as he states.

Down here in Houston we Mac people talk Mac all day everyday. Just get us started and we won't stop :p . You can work there at 16. I'm inbetween 2 apple stores and at both they have 16 and 17 year olds working there.
Oh yeah the stores talk about them all the time in Texas and its a blast... but every Mac person I come accross outside the store... they act like we are talking politics and I want an explination to why they have voted or are a certain way...

Does anyone know what intel has up its sleeve, are they also going to have a comparable product by "Mid 2007"?
EDIT:
Also, is Tiger capable of using multiple cores?? I'm sure it is, but never really cared, since my eMac only has 1 cpu, haha.

Is this a legal out for them so they don't have to support as many configurations, or is there a limiting factor in my computer that prohibits me from using this newer card? I know it will not be as good as it would be in a 4x system, but the AGP spec is supposed to be backwards compatible.
Thanks,

Sorry but the 9700 is only backwards compatible down to 4x AGP. I'm not sure but I think when they went from 2x to 4x they changed the layout of the connector. If this is so then it wouldn't even plug into your computer.
To answer RogueLdr,
They will be making a 9700 version for the mac.
To everyone else,
If Apple supports and put it in a current/future model then there will be a version with an ADC connector.

What if Intel just quit. They said they were done making chips. Would the world end?
OR, what if they drastically cut production so that prices on the rare chips skyrocketed? Could they get in trouble with the government like Microsoft does? Interesting concept...
Bit of a stupid concept. No offense.
So Intel, who I'm guessing are worth a few billion $, are just going to pack up shop. Pay their staff, then ta-ta.
Not sell the company, sell the chips, sell the factories, just, Bye Bye?
If Intel were going to ''quit'' they would sell the company, and I'm sure there isn't just one person behind these decisions, there must be a whole board.
They could also let enother company come in, run it all, and just use the Intel name.
Sheesh.. the idea's people have!

I'm glad that it's available again for Mac OS X. It looks as if it might be a wait for the developer and foundation versions, though.
With all the mess on Windows, there may be more dedicated Borland developers trying Mac OS X.
