I don't know if Mac users are eccentric, but all the Mac users I know are potheads. Perhaps the pic in the original post was herbally induced?

No, all the major PC makers are using desktop P4 CPUs in their notebooks because the chip is about $500 less than the P4M. The only drawback is that these notebooks weight about 9 pounds and only get about 90 minutes of battery life. But for people that want all the power you can get, they are willing to make the sacrifice.
The 2.8 Ghz P4 is a new CPU. Intel released it Tuesday.

Eh, I was at the airport on my way to Mexico and saw that one of their computers that displays the flight times had the program crash. It amused me so I snapped a picture:

Anyone else got any funny pictures of Windows? :O
EDIT: It was taken in Vancouver, hence why it's French at the top. I don't speak French so don't get the wrong idea. ;)

There are no photos yet..but afterdawn.com has reported that Toshiba will release a5GB Bluetooth HDD (http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/3440.cfm) ideally for PDA's, but that dosen't that the iPod should be left out... because it sports the same drive from Toshiba!!!
Even thou it states that "Toshiba doesn't have currently plans to sell the drive outside Japan" doesn't mean that we can't have hope!!;)

OK, I am no hardware or software genius. Infact, I'm not genius, but I digress.
How, or will the new chipsets affect our abilities compared to now?
And will the award winning "folding widget" get ported?

but if you read all the post he is retarded, he keeps quoting these unlimited sources, and yet he seems to be a college student or something, how could he have 4 or five dependable apple sources?? He also said that they are releasing G4 iBooks along with the powerbooks... c'mon, dude is on crack. no way in hell there will be a g4 iBook AND powerbook unless the powerbook was dual (and we know that aint happening)

For all the years and years they royally scr*wed their loyal customers in tech support, for all the years they charged a grand for an "upgrade" which, essentially, it's been the same program since 1992, for scr*wing over OS X for a couple years, and finally for having after introspection (or perhaps retrospection) having some of the most effed up menu placement and key commands this side of any M$ product, good riddance Quark, hope you die and go the way of so many pigheaded companies. It was fun while you lasted, now go join PageMaker in the graveyard of once-was products.

I downloaded it, and unless I am missing something, it's got nowhere near the power of GIMP yet. They've got a long way to go to make this usable software, but if they implement the full GIMP feature sets with Mac OS X GUI, that will be an impressive accomplishment.
I don't think they ever will...according to their website (http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=826648&forum_id=244287), they're leaving that task up to some sort of GIMP Aqua project. I've heard rumblings of such a one, but I think right now, there are just several projects to make GTK, which underpins GIMP, work in Aqua.
It sounds like this project wants to use some GIMP code and contribute some code to GIMP, but to primarily make an app that the author thinks makes sense for the Mac community.... Hmmm.....

What we really need is lower prices.
If the new models dropped to say, 2299 & 2799, I think there would be a lot more of us upgrading from older PowerBooks.
Apple's PowerBooks represent pretty good value but they are a bit too steep for most people these days. I no longer feel I can justify spending over 2500 for a laptop.
The SONY & Toshiba DVD-R laptops cannot be taken seriously. The media drive is way too large for the enclosures and it looks ridiculous in the SONY model. I think they just did this as a publicity stunt, just for the atention & press. The SuperDrive would be an awesome addition to the PowerBook but I would rather wait than end up with a thick, heavy enclosure.
These Toshiba drives also only burn at 1X. Well, I'm burning a DVD at 1X speed right now (I tried some new, cheaper media that turned out not to be capable of 2X) and it's ridiculous. Most Mac users actually DO things with their machines, we can wait for DVD-R drives that are actually meant to be used.

I'm not sure this is the type of "distributed computing" this forum refers to... ;)
That being said, I'd agree with mj that going with the same brand is probably a reasonable idea. I used to do that with a Linksys, but then I got "hacked" firmware and just upped the transmission power. No more problems.
But then, I don't print wirelessly either, except occasionally through my iMac.

I always wonder wether people actually use visual plugins with iTunes :confused:
hmm, I (almost) never turn them on, and I like to keep the "minimized" player "floating" on top...

Furthermore, if you are using iTunes music, and you are using iMovie/iDVD, you CAN use tracks in your videos. They import in and you can use them freely in your projects.
Except there have been threads where people did this and when they sent it to friends to view, their computer had to be authorised to do so.

The present speed bumps are still better than when Apple was stuck at 500mhz for 18 months with the G4.
IF it was up to motorolla we would never have even had the DDR hack in the xserve and G4 mirror doors.

Well, that's the PC version. And even if it is 8x, it will still work in a 4x. Not quite as good, but it will still be much faster than an older card. I doubt theres much of a difference anyway...

People quitting early is annoying. Turning on your mic and letting others know is an easy way to avoid getting bad rep. All one has to do is tell the others that he/she has to go and no one will mind. 75% of people do this on GoW, but the other 25% just quit on you, and it's especially annoying when it's the host.
Microsoft needs to figure out a system that can tell when someone quits, versus when they are dc'd/have a dirty disc/power goes out/etc. They then need to implement a 'deserter' type system like in WoW. In WoW you cannot join PvP again for 10 minutes if you quit during PvP. This way anyone who quits has to wait 10 minutes before they can get back in an Xbox Live game/match.

I agree. Audion was my Mp3 player of choice in the pre-OsX days... they abandoned it though, and now it's free... I use it again now... just to pre-sort "new" MP3s so I don't mess up my iTunes library...

I just purchased Logitech's new MX 500 yesterday at CompUSA. All the cordless 700s were already sold out, but were about 35-40 more dollars anyway. The functionality and shape were exactly the same, so if you don't have the cash I highly recommend the MX 500. It has every possible button you could want (which you can also program through Logitech's downloadable Control Center). Very comfortable too, but they've pretty much screwed any leftys out there...
