    Michael Dell: "I would sell OS X on my machines"

    off-topic: I will try to keep it short THe above quote can be boiled down to: Job Security :D I am a mac user, but at work I maintain windows workstations (along with A/V equipment). Windows machines I touch every day to make sure all is running well. The few macs that we loan to clients I...

    Please don't call it a Macintosh

    I wonder if we are ever going to see a name change in the same fashion as Apple --> Macintosh (or rather Apple --> Lisa --> Macintosh) Is the Xserve simply "xServe" or is it "Macintosh xServe"

    Apple Trademark "Numbers"

    I don't know... Symbian has been built from the ground up to be a mobile OS, that is not to say that Apple can't counter with a better OS. I think though that Symbian is not going away, and here are a few: 1. Nokia makes profits from licensing Series 60 to other Manufacturers 2. Nokia Series...

    Apple KB & Mouse over USb hub - possible?

    I have a Powerbook G4 and my girlfriend a iBook G4. About 50% of time one of us uses the desk in our office as our computing space and I wanted to have a keyboard, mouse, printer and other peripherals connected to a hub and then connect that to the PB or IB. I have a keyboard and mouse that I...

    Michael Dell: "I would sell OS X on my machines"

    hey scruffy what do you mean by "soviet style" ;) (I love the term - I might steal ot from you :p) As for clones, we've been there, done that. However never say never because you see what happened with Rhapsody's intel version? We all thought it was dead...but no! Next year will see the...

    Apple Trademark "Numbers"

    nice :D - Once numbers comes out I think I will ask my boss to buy an iWork bundle...for testing and eval purposes of course ;) When it comes to MS office, I get it for free, at least for my work computer, since the univ. has a site license. The *major* problem for apple is compatibility. I...

    The next apple products - your opinions

    Well, Apple has just proved (yet again) that they are not limited in what they can do. First the iPod was on fire, and still is as the best selling digital music player, and now the switch from AIM to Intel. In the past apple has made some nice products (i.e.: Newton), some major flops (i.e...

    OSX x86 leaked?

    why would anyone bother looking for these torrents? It's a prerelease version of OS X which is not working completely. Also it was not meant to run on grey boxes so you are facing two obstacles there. Why not wait????

    MacOSX 10.3.9/PS2 compatibility

    Download from where? Download from the net - illegal - so don't ask (or you might be spanked by a mod :p) "download" from a disc you bought (yes I am using the term download losely here), just pop the disc in the drive and rip an ISO. But what is the point? no PS2 emulator exists for the mac

    Why did you buy your Mac ?

    When OS X came out it was awful! (that is when I joined this site). I loved the idea of a new OS, but I was not impressed by the Public Beta which I ordered and installed (installed it on my PPCLinux partition lol), Then 10.0 and 10.1 came out - again I was not impressed. O booted into OS X...

    For those who want to keep PowerPC...

    In terms of buying the last ever PPC mac, I don't think I would do that, because I can envision a lot of things that will eventually be intel only (WINE, VPC,VMware type applications) that would not run on a PPC. I bought a 68040 (without an FPU!) when the first generation PPCs came out, and...
