Better than the Times for sure who ran an article on Monday lauding how great Vista would be and why the delay just made sure it would be better... :rolleyes:

i'd like to see bluetooth implimentation in ipods (and i think we will) for the reason of file transfering and syncing, as people have said... i think it would be cool if you brought your ipod in your pocket to a friend's house and their stereo could access the music on it, or your car stereo, etc etc. i don't give a rip about headphones. anyone that can't handle tiny earbuds connected through tiny wires to a tiny device should just get speakers. then you don't have to worry about anything! total range of movement, and the ability to share the stream with other users.

Dont know if everyone has seen this yet, but apparently even though its a PC the designers have an Apple background. http://www.oqo.com/
an adaption of this makes more sense than a pda to me.

I take back my previous statement. :o I am at work and didn't have time to read the link. That is very disappointing. Hopefully we will see a full fledged sequel soon. It has been long enough.

How long does it take for a user to appear on the Folding@Home statistics page? I started folding at work today and I was trying to see make sure that the points are being recorded properly and that they are going for the MR team.
I have one machine running now, which is my PC at work, but I am going to be adding another 5 older PCs once I have the time to get them configured. Some of them are quite old/slow, but I figure that something is better than nothing.

There's a simple reason for that - Firefox uses the Gecko rendering engine, which the developers admit is nowhere near full optimization. Once Gecko is cleaned up, Firefox (and other Gecko-based browsers) will use less memory.
Are you sure? I know Gecko has always been criticised for being bloated, but my recollection (as a Phoenix->Firebird->Firefox user since 0.5) is that they said the optimisation of the code was well underway and would be almost over by Phoenix 1.0.
I'm a long time Firefox advocate, but I'm frankly disappointed with how the OS X version has turned out. The Windows version is amazing, and I think it's the best browser ever, but the X version frankly feels like a 0.5 release. What's with that extra window on Expos�? Why does it ignore my dock completely? And why does backspace not work to move back a page on OS X, but it does on Windows/Linux? It sounds stupid, but even if Firefox gets truly great, if there's no backspace to move back, I'm not using it full time. On a laptop, the backspace isn't optional - it just has to be used.
In the meantime, I'm happy full time alternating between Safari and Camino. And I'm converting all my Windows friends to Firefox, as everyone should start doing. :)

Doesn't take rocket science to realize that you've obviously taken sides with a vastly inferior product. The Archos Pukebox has NEVER been touted for its interface design whereas its among the very first praises sung for the iPod. Most people understand the iPod interface within seconds of first seeing it.

4.5x3x1 inches is HUGE for you? I pity your girlfriend! (Ooops, sorry, but I can't resist! ;-)

This has nothing to do with dick size. We're talking about portable music players. Putting the Puxebox's dimensions into the context of male endowment only proves two things: you're an idiot and are prone to thinking regularly about cock.

Well, on this point I haven't anything to object: design tastes are subjective.
====
On the contrary: established design principles are often referred to when weighing the design value of a product and the Pukebox pales in comparison to the usability and aesthetic of the iPod. Calling all things relative is a textbook example of side-stepping a valid rebuttal.

Sorry to hear it didn't get better at this point... I was hoping to hear that they busted down the door to find some idiot teenagers playing on the console.
I'm surprised the police have gone down this far with you over the matter. It's at least refreshing to know that they would attempt to find the item. My roommate in college got his laptop stolen and they were pretty damn apathetic.
They went to the house and a lady answered the door. She was more than willing to let the police in to search the place. After searching, they came up with nothing. Not even a single game, controller, anything. The house is a rental house. The guy with the pawn record had moved out two months ago. His lease was up December 31st and this new lady had moved in during January.

This is one of the neater toys I've seen in a while. You run a little program that scours RSS feeds for audio links and pushes them into iTunes playlists. Sync up your iPod (or just use iTunes if you don't have one), and you have a sort of time-shifted personalized radio thing.
I'm using iPodderx (http://ipodderx.com/), but see the article for other possibilities.

I love the iBook but it is definately not cheaper than the iMac in Australia. I have looked around and it, (the iBook) seems to be about $500AUD dearer than anywhere else, exchange rate adjusted.
A basic iBook costs $2795 and thats with G3 600 + 20GB + 12"TFT + 128MB + CDROM, while an iMac basic costs $2595 with G4 700 + 40GB + 15"TFT + GeForceMX + CD-RW + 128MB. This has got to change apple!!!

I think I have this article (this time from The Times) being used as a bookmark somewhere when it was published a month or 2 ago...
Yup, found it :) The reason why the sample is so small is because they were struggling to find "clean" subjects who didn't spend hours playing games anyway

Clarify please. You just threw that out of the blue. I'm not understanding where you're getting that from.
What I meant to say is that the things we suggest and clamor for here are things which Apple already knows.
We aren't going to alter their course with any of our statements, save for that 1 in 1000.
Apple is a $5-7 billion dollar company (depending on AAPL when you read this). A full fledged chip maturation is a multi billion dollar process, thusly Apple relies on other larger companies to fab its chips. It provides input, but it is a slave to their whims. Sadly, Motorola's whims have not included advancing the G4 at a 'market leading' pace.
We can tell Apple what we want them to do, but they are aware, and they are doing.
A Power4 derivative with 160+ vector instructions just doesn't make sense for IBM to develop, if they don't have a specific user, or feel like adding Vector based instructions to AIX.
So do what you will, but know that you won't change the future in a positive way by vocalizing.

whats this new product that someone asked about near the end of the Xserve demonstration in the Q and A session when one of the apple hightops says that apple doesn't discuss future products but to expect it in the not too distant future? and i love how he regards inkwell as the best handwriting recognition in the world which came from as steve put it "you know what" the newton! so whatsup people can anyone shed some light on jdt 1.4?
