Darn! That's awful good news! so Apple really can tell who's the best chipmaker on the market! Intel makes more then just x86 chips, so why assume that apple is planning to switch to the x86 architecture? - That's right! Pentium 4 505 will soon be replaced with a model that supports x64 instruction

So I look for a version of desktopX wich is older than the v2.0. You meant version 3, right? or do you really mean version 1.xx? Also be aware that some desktop themes might fail to load properly if you did not previously install all the apps the theme interacts with (winamp, rainlender, sysmetrix).

I read somewhere that Apple was planning to release QT7 for the Windows platform in the month of September. It appears some new features are harder to transpose than expected. I know it sucks but it seems Apple folks are less productive when it comes to a different environment. I can't wait to try it, either. But unlike what many Mac users think the majority of Windows users hardly ever use QT Player, neither do they think much of it. Highly-criticized

Citizen liquidguru: fair enough ...you'll just make airlines bankrupt and lose thousands of jobs.. At least I agree with you on that. When too much security endangers legacy airlines like AA/ UA/ DA/ NW... the TSA should really take a good look at what's time consuming and unnecessary and what'

Citizen liquidguru: you're going way outta line. I just stated facts! Airport security is tighter in the US than in most European countries. Look at the two recent commercial airplanes that had to be diverted to Bangor, ME because of Italy's and France's casual handling of security. And yeah security used to be a joke before 9/11, even here in Texas (eg, Dallas-Fort Worth Airport) where serious stuff could get thru security. It was simply appalling to

Yes they are - compared to AMD processors. on laptops no they ain't. Battery life-wise or performance-wise, Turions wallow in the mud. They don't yet match up with Intel Centrino platform that offers a comprehensive platform with the whole shebang (more interesting to laptop manufacturers)! Learn AMD, l

I think y'all are giving way too much credit to our government for stuff they could not do even if they wanted. About the job the TSA performs at airports: sure there's room for improvement but one has to admit they've come a long way from what used to be a joke. Fly to Europe and see how they handle security at airports.

It appears that Apple is specifically interested in Intel's Sonoma technology. The rumors DON'T point to a complete switchover (that would be economically and technologically stupid- retool your entire line that you own rights to just to use inferior processors?). Does look like they're interested in portable technologies, howeve

Yeah, I read the article on C|net...as far as I understood it, Apple is looking at Intel to replace it's IBM PowerPC chips...doesn't mean it's gonna run on x86 code base...Intel does make other chips besides x86. It's not Microsoft who's pooping in their pants...it's pool old IBM... yep true or Apple m

Still looks like Avalon's got a LONG way to go before it compares to Quartz... I wouldn't be so sure. What's more Avalon does not designate the compositor itself. It's more of a framework (one of the pillars to Longhorn) that includes among others a scripting language, that nears completion. DCE is the

I don't think your link points to a genuine Longhorn visual style. Though it looks pretty good it's only inspired from the visual styles that we could see in the Longhorn Alpha builds that have leaked so far.

I just watched the demonstration video of Dashboard Apple made available on its website and it looks just great. It's beyond compare with DesktopX and that's the kind of functionality I had initially assumed DesktopX would offer. I think there's more to learn from Apple Dashboard as to what can be added to DesktopX than to criticize. I'd like to feel the same about DesktopX. There's still a lot of room for improvement. The objects I use feel buggy and

Sorry Mr Eroticus but I feel like I have to dissent again. Windows 2000 Professional was specifically targeting NT users (SMB's... included). But it sure was not to succeed to Windows 98SE on the roadmap of future OS's targeting MS's standard users. That was Windows ME's job. Then I also find your evangelizing efforts to promote the Mac platform a little sickening. This Manichaeist view (Mac OS vs Windows) sort of makes you lose most credibil
