Oh yea, nice and fast :rolleyes:. A Dual 1.25Ghz G4 vs a single 2.8ghz P4, uhhh isn't that a little unfair. Where is the dual 2.4ghz P4 vs dual 1.25ghz G4 comparison?

What is Einstein@Home?
The screensavers are being developed for Linux, Windows and Mac operating systems.
Albert Einstein discovered long ago that we are adrift in a universe filled with waves from space. Colliding black holes, collapsing stars, and spinning pulsars create ripples in the fabric of space and time that subtly distort the world around us. These gravitational waves have eluded scientists for nearly a century. Exciting new experiments will let them catch the waves in action and open a whole new window on the universe - but they need your help to do it!
Einstein@Home is a project developed to search data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US and from the GEO 600 gravitational wave observatory in Germany for signals coming from rapidly rotating neutron stars, known as pulsars. Scientists believe that some pulsars may not be perfectly spherical, and if so, they should emit characteristic gravitational waves, which LIGO and GEO 600 will begin to detect in coming months.

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space and time produced by events in our galaxy and throughout universe, such as black hole collisions, shockwaves from the cores of exploding supernovas, and rotating pulsars. These ripples in the space-time fabric travel toward Earth, bringing with them information about their origins, as well as invaluable clues to the nature of gravity.
Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in his general theory of relativity, but only now in the 21st Century has technology advanced enough for scientists to detect and study them. Although gravitational waves have not yet been detected directly, their influence on a binary pulsar (two neutron stars orbiting each other) has been measured accurately, and was found to be in good agreement with original predictions. Joseph Taylor and Russell Hulse shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics for their studies in this field.

Apple will follow its usual strategy.
1st move: 1st gen processors, big numbers, big price
2nd move: slight to moderate price drop
3rd move: 2nd gen processors, bigger numbers, slight price rise
4th move: sligh to moderate price drop
etc etc
This is what they have always done and why would they stop now??

Quit while you're behind, give up, put the protractor away before you hurt yourself, the equation does not compute, your calculation is wrong, etc.

sparkle 350w: 10a
pcp&c 5/700w: 10a
notice a tight (ie, something that can be used as a point to reason from) mathematical correlation here? what's that? no, neither do i, really. but i can easily go pull a dozen more sample points...
In other words, READ THE WORDs PRINTED ON THE POWER SUPPLY and stop trying to use formulas.
The XServe Power Supply does not equal one from a Mirror Mac (IT FEEDS the MONITOR in addition to the computer).
And if you don't understand what I'm saying then ... :rolleyes:

Okay, I'll agree with you about not being able to "custom" build your own Macintosh. It has drawbacks and advantages. Mostly advantages in my opinion. Apple has always made systems that perform more predictably. Simply put, the software (OS) and the hardware work better hand in hand. Although Microsoft has done pretty good with XP, it does some neat stuff, but I still prefer OS X. However, even though you can't build your own Mac, it is very easy to add after market upgrades such as hard drives, RAM, PCI cards, etc etc...at least in the towers. Obviously, the iMac is for the person who does not care to go inside their computer, they just want something that turns on and works. Today, most of the hardware is pretty interchangeable.
In the future I'd like to see the hardware makers standardize even more, so maybe all the PCI cards could work in both systems without the need for different ROMS, but that will probably never happen, due to the stark differences in how Apple and Intel/AMD design the MB.
I don't know about the 2 processor limit on the G4. I always thought if the processor supported SMP, then you could go to town.
I never remember seeing any PCs with USB until after Apple released the original iMac. If they did, they sure were not using it much. In fact, they still mostly use the PS/2 ports. Maybe because the PC liked to crash back in the Win98 days. USB was definitely plug and pray for them back then.
I personally don't mind what Apple charges, since they make a product that works. I never go a week without hearing someone crying about something being wrong with their PC and Windows.

You have to understand what people are telling you. Computers do not pose a special problem for plasma screens. Burn-in is generic to the technology, irrespective of the source. In the industrial applications that I mentioned in my earlier post, plasma screens most certainly suffer burn-in, but that is only a minor problem compared to their real problem. Their real problem is burn-out. That is, plasma screens that are left running 24-7 in our nearby casinos have to be replaced about every nine months.

It's all about volume. How many Mac owners are going to spend the money ($399) for a video card, great or otherwise? 1000? 10,000? 100,000? Not enough to be first. The only reason we get GeForce cards quickly is because Apple is doing the work, not nVidia.

I was looking at the M-Audio Sonica last night. It's a sound card connected by USB and it has an optical output and can feed a 5.1 Dolby Digital system. All this was $79. Is it good? I didn't hear it yet. I think I'll take the chance though. Requirements? Mac OS X 10.1.5 or higher.

Not a bad little article but seems like all they did in the way of research is look through a bunch of rumors sites.
There's one bit that I found interesting:
Apple would have to also coax most of its third-party developers to rewrite their applications from the ground up in the company's Cocoa application environment.
If that's all that it takes to make an app x86-compatible, then the whole switching-over-to-Intel thing doesn't seem so farfetched. Yes, most OS X apps now are Carbon but won't developers be switching to Cocoa anyways as they introduce new apps? I've only dabbled with the development tools but Cocoa seems to be the way to go if you're writing a brand new app for OS X.
