The Tablet PCs are full fledged PCs/laptops. That's the point. They are supersets of traditional laptops. You get all the benefits of a normal laptop, (Power, all your software runs, etc.) plus the inking capabilities, and the benefits that go along with the platform's portrait (in addition to...

I've seen the info, but thanks. I hope the rumors are true (or there is something better that hasn't been revealed). And, you're right, this discussion should end here. Or, at least, go back to the original topic. :-)

What happens if Apple has little/nothing new to offer in January (in terms of system architecture)? I'm not trying to bash the platform. I am just wondering when Apple will make credible improvements. They can't wait too long without providing a solution for those here who, despite having...

The cheapest CRT iMac on Apple's site is $799. The lowest price I stated for a full PC was $600. That price is still lower than the iMac, and even that price is well above what you can get a good full PC w/ larger monitor for.

When's the last time you upgraded your Mac's CPU without buying a new computer. Apple killed the upgrade and clone markets. If you want to really upgrade your Mac, you must go to Apple. This is especially true for Apple's main seller, the iMac.

If you knew you wanted to upgrade the computer yourself, you wouldn't by a proprietary system. You can build a full PC from scratch using standard parts. That said, many off-the-shelf PCs don't use proprietary parts anymore due to the popularity of add-ons from different manufacturers, and the...

PCs, especially today, hold up better than Macs. If you know how to upgrade, you save money, and don't have to throw away your PC for a while. I have a P II 400 that runs XP just fine, in addition to my main system. I also have some Celeron 333s that run XP, Win2k and other OSes, as well as P...

Not to mention how environmentally "friendly" that cycle is. :-)

Someone's in denial.

Forbes magazine ran one of the original stories regarding the shift from Blackcomb to Longhorn. This was straight from Gates and Ballmer. Other sites have interviewed Windows dev team members that have repeatedly said there will be no point release to follow XP. Everything has shifted to...

Blackcomb has been scrapped. Longhorn was originally supposed to be a point release to follow XP, however MS decided to synchronize their product releases like they did with the release of Windows 95. Now, Longhorn will be NT 6.0. All features slated for Blackcomb will instead be included in...

Even at 320Kbps, standard compression formats remove portions of data from the original source material to attain very small file sizes. WMA Lossless does not remove any data, so audio quality is not sacrificed in any way. You pay for this with larger file sizes (but file sizes one-half to...

You are missing the point entirely. Paul is referring to using the Windows Media Lossless Codec. This compresses audio in a way that is mathematically lossless. No data is subtracted in the encoding process as it is with normal WMA, MP3, or MP4. It is exactly the same data, bit-for-bit...
