...But the Mac users spend hours chatting through online forums, mainly about the inefficiencies of the PC world.
But it beats a PeeCee user's routine. Mac users are so productive that we get our work done in no time, so we simply spend the rest of the day online chatting. ;) :) :)
In the meantime, we can speculate that we Mac users spend our time more productively and perhaps we waste our time more productively too.
Absolutely! :D

Well, a lot of guests (http://forums.macrumors.com/online.php?s=) have been looking at this thread; it has gotten an unusual number of hits in a relatively short amount of time. These guests seem to be really interested in this thread. Makes you wonder if a vast majority of them are Apple spies! HA! They'll probably all flee as soon as they read this post. :p

No, no, the Athlon in the test was overclockled. That Athlon would not be sold by system manufacturers overclocked that far.
Added: The guy who ran this test even states that a dual 1GHz G4 rig is equal to 2GHz, which it isn't.
On the graphics test, he doesn't even give the Athlon and P4 the same graphics card. That's a very innacurate testing site, IMO.

F all the early adopters, eh Microsoft? :mad:
I think everyone who's had 360 failures should get one of these at no charge in exchange, but I'm sure that won't happen.
$20 more gets you a Ps3 with BluRay. If I was eyeing this, the Ps3 would be more attractive to me since they're not considering putting in HD-DVD to sweeten the deal.
So what are they charging more for? a HDMI port? I think they are avoiding putting a HD DVD drive in the unit based on the abysmal outlook for HD DVD's future. No wifi, both the competition boxes have wifi built in...
120GB proprietary HD, why not just make it user replacebable like Sony did....
MS is gonna piss off a lot of their current base with this.

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.

a program that you load into your device and if its lost or stolen will give you the location of said item. Its like 12 bucks a year for 5 devices, how about some payback for theives.

You have hit the nail right on the head! Mot's high-speed PPCs are for routers and other dedicated applications. They don't have any other cakes in the oven.
More speculation: IBM's new chip is likely to show up in a low-end RS-6000, which they would position as a small-business database server. It'll give them something to compete with Sun in the low-end server area. (Nobody would seriously use a winblows machine as a database server.) As to whether the jeepul will be used in Macs, that's more speculative. While desktop macs wouldn't be viewed as competitive with a low-end RS-6000, a jeepul xserve might. So, it may be interesting after all that IBM is conducting a survey about whether DB/2 should be ported to mac os x server. My guess is that IBM wouldn't mind losing a few RS6000 sales to xserves, as long as their chip and their software are getting out there.
I don't think we'll get any answers on Oct. 7. But Mac Rumors is the place to keep an eye on!

Still sounds bogus to me.
A no-name company announces a product which has capabilities that no competing product can come close to offering. Yet, prior to its announcement, there were no hints as to its creation. Also, this coincides with PearPC reaching a usable level.
And now, they "delay" the release of the product because of a web site failure caused by many people visiting their site?
I still don't buy it.

Pro line: Dual 1.8 Ghz G4
Consumer line: 1.6 ghz G5
The average consumer will wonder why the pro line isn't a dual-G5 and why they should spend the extra money for an extra, outdated processor.
Yes, a Dual 1.8 G4 might be more powerful than a single 1.6 ghz G5, but if you just look at the specs, it appears that you're spending an extra amout of money for an inferior processor. :)

MacTheKnife errr TheGayBlad has posted is latest NMR report and this one seems to spill a whole lot of beans... Some of the best quotes are quoted below.
http://www.macedition.com/nmr/nmr_20020914.php
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The heretofore-unspoken name of IBM�s G4 Replacement is GPUL (short for GigaProcessor UltraLite). It is Multi-core, 64-bit Microprocessor that supports Vector/SIMD Multimedia eXtension (VMX), the generic Title for the Technologies comprising Altivec (a k a Velocity Engine).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like that name that Moki was using over on the AI boards now has an official meaning! GPUL is the internal name of that new IBM PPC that is gonna be presented at the Microprocessor Forum next month!!! Wait it gets even more interesting...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Most Worthy CPU also being fine-tuned to work with the Apple Processor Interconnect bus (ApplePI), Apple�s Replacement for the venerable MaxBus. Mac OS X is already booting happily on Prototype Units.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ApplePI?!?!? I know I've heard that codename used before but it had to be 8 or 9 months ago now... Well seems like that codename too now has 'real meaning' Apple Processor Interconnect an (assumed) high speed replacement for the MaxBus... Something that many think is holding us back and it now seems that Apple agrees.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alas, GPUL does not appear to be in the Cards for January�s Generation of Apple Systems. IBM had Mac OS X running on GPUL by November was delivering Prototypes to Apple by March of this Year, and was testing prototype Mac Hardware Systems and core Apple Application Software by April. Nevertheless,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I didn't want to hear that part but it can't be all good news all the time... But it sure was nice to read the confirmation on a few codenames that have been floating around for a while now.
Also if it's true that the 1st prototypes for this CPU were in Apples hands back in March 2002 and Apple was already testing initial prototype systems only a month later then come MacWorld NY or maybe even before we should finally see the GPUL err G5 CPU!
TGB isn't your 3rd rate rumor monger who will post anything and everything that hits his mailbox and what he does post is usually pretty level headed and turns out to be true... Needless to say most of his rumors are NOT the juiciest tidbits you've ever read (no 3Ghz quad processors nor iWalk crud) but in this case that's a really good thing...
Cause to me this be one juciest rumor I've seen in a while! (one that I can trust anyway)

Dude, zarathustra, that photo of the Pismo in the Microsloth promo is so damn funny. And that is totally a Pismo, look at the light bouncing off the back of the lid. Anyone who's owned a Pismo knows those curves and their rubbery touch.
I like the Pismo, but I like the new tibook better......

So maybe when this upgraded version is released it may be bumped to 120 gig? :confused:
At least thats how i would think in theory it might work :D
Yes...BUT with the same update, it could stop this hack/mod...

It's all sour grapes over obsolete releases. Don't worry about it if you're using the current stuff.
Ah OK, I didn't switch to Mac until OS X so I have no idea what it used to be like. I do know that the Windows player wasn't too good though.

no what i mean is IF he has all his info showing that he owns the 360 then they (MS) should communicate with the police to get this taken care of. if the police has all the info showing his house was broken into and other info. then MS should give out the info to the police to be able to track it down. if your 360 was stolen and they used it to start buying arcade games using your CC info then what would you say about it, you would want it back wouldn't you
the whole reason each 360 has its own ID number is to track them down in case they was stolen. seem's like MS isn't doing what they set out to do with the unique ID identification of the 360 or XBOX. now if your 360 was stolen wouldn't you want to see your 360 returned or let the thieves keep it so you would have to buy another one. so your basicity telling me that MS should do nothing, even tho they implemented a ID system to track down a said system if this was to happen and not use it to help get the said system back and to catch the thieves.
you seem to be one of those people that side with the thieve to me. if you ask me i think everything should be done that can be don't to catch them and get the system back no questions asked.

Once this intel beta finishes (I'm using it now but its only command line right now), we need to get Macrumors.com to have a front page article saying they finally completed a SMP mac version and that our team needs help again, because we have lost several people and I'm sure there are thousands of front page viewers that have never heard of folding before.
