It makes me a bit sick, so cut me some slack. However, you can get an iMac Mini for £399.99 or whatever it is in USD, which is quite afordable. Okay, you don't get the customability that a 'normal' desktop system gets. You get enough power under the bonet to run Vista or XP via Boot Camp or Parralels (or your favourite virtual OS emualtor), it's a small computer which is fairly quiet and outputs DVI so you can save on the £350 Cinematic monitor Apple tries to flog you and you can get a decent 16:9 TFT monitor for £90~, if you need a DVI -> VGA converter, Apple stocks those or go to a local computer/electrical store, they should stock them.<br>My only nag with the iMac Mini is that it only has 2 built-in USB ports. And you'll most likely put the USB mouse and keyboard in them... Why only 2? You KNOW we're going to take them up using the keyboard and mouse! Why not an extra one for good measure? But I digress, at least with that bit of extra cash you're blowing on an Apple product, you can take it into a local Apple Store, it's good quality, the OSX side runs smoothly, XP/Vista works... As good as XP and Vista will work on the specs, but that's good enough for the next few years anyway.<br><br>Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a shower and rub myself with my Vista instalation disc. Good day.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ssuk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 10:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Leopard reviews coming in, usual suspects agree: it's all gravy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</guid><description><![CDATA[@ssuk<br>Actually, the mac mini has 4 usb ports, and if you use apple's keyboard, it has 2 usb ports on it, so really you should have 3 free on the box and 1 extra on the keyboard.  The mini also ships with a DVI->VGA connector in the box.  (I bought one about 1 month ago). They are 600USD.  In my opinion, that seems fair.  I use my Dell laptop more, but the mini makes a good low end desktop (also, its easy to get Ubuntu dual booting on the mini)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[insertAlias]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 11:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Leopard reviews coming in, usual suspects agree: it's all gravy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</guid><description><![CDATA[Whatever happened to those hidden, unspoken features that Jobs said quite a while back would be in the final release but he didn't want to share at the time?

Prior to its release, version 10.0 was code named "Cheetah" internally at Apple, and "version 10.1 was code named internally as "Puma". After the immense buzz surrounding version 10.2, codenamed "Jaguar", Apple's product marketing began openly using the code name to promote the operating system. 10.3 was marketed as "Panther", and 10.4 as "Tiger". "Leopard" has been announced as the name for the next release, version 10.5."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RedBull Runner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 3:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Leopard reviews coming in, usual suspects agree: it's all gravy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</guid><description><![CDATA[The official name is:<br>Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard<br>Just as Tiger was:<br>Mac OS X 10.4 Leopard<br><br>This makes things handy, when I ran Tiger if I ever called tech support (which was very little).

If you choose to use a Mac, that's cool. Many of my professors do, as do a lot of the grad students around here. I even spent a semester using Tiger as part of a CS lab.

But his entire article seems like it was crafted as a dig on Microsoft.<br><br>- He talks about Apple's marketshare, and how it's "coming up".<br>- He talks about "the security problems in the dominant Windows platform from Microsoft", despite the fact that there have been remarkably few vulnerabilities in Vista (.<br>- He says that Mac OS X is "easier to use and more secure" than Windows, yet provides no qualifications for WHY he thinks that is the case.<br>- He says, "I believe it builds on Apple's quality advantage over Windows", again without providing justification or qualifications.<br>- He talks about "compatibility problems that continue to plague Vista", again without any specifics.<br><br>In essence, his review is every generic criticism of Vista distilled and regurgitated.<br><br>In my experience, most Vista reviews are this way. Vista is "slow", but they don't have the benchmarks to back it up. Vista is "unstable", but they don't have specific examples of it crashing (number of blue screens for me in 10 months on 3 machines: 0). Vista is "incompatible",  but their incompatible app list is surprisingly short.<br><br>Are there things that suck about Vista? Absolutely. It takes WAY too much disk space (like 8GB!). It's a pain in the ass to change network settings (wireless is fine, but DHCP/static IPs are a pain to configure). IE still sucks (use Firefox). NVIDIA's drivers still suck. You still have to reboot to install most updates. WGA/Activation still sucks. It boots more slowly than XP. It won't go to sleep in "Max Performance" mode (on my laptop). It requires more memory.<br><br>But there's a lot to like. There are a lot of good changes - small things, that wouldn't normally be considered "features" (unless you're Apple!). The battery icon provides useful information rather than a "high/low/dead" indicator. The network icon tells you if you're connected to the Internet and not jut a local network. You can see a calendar without opening the "date/time" window. The volume icon is actually useful. You can customize the favorite links in Explorer and open/close dialogs. "Add/Remove Programs" comes up faster and is searchable. It's easier to choose an audio input device (nice little level meters let you know which input to pick). FTP/DAV doesn't inexplicably lock up Explorer. You can use fast user switching on a domain. You don't have to update 42 ActiveX controls and screw with IE to run Windows Update. The clock tells you when DST is coming up or ending. You can turn off AutoRun without hacking the registry. Voice recognition is built in and works. You can connect with an XBOX 360 without installing extra software. The "search the internet for drivers" feature actually seems to work. Crappy graphics drivers don't crash the machine. You can resume CIFS (Network Places) file transfers if the network goes out. You can run two or more 3D apps at once. The default mouse cursors aren't butt ugly. <br><br>The OS is what it is. Get over it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 4:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Leopard reviews coming in, usual suspects agree: it's all gravy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</guid><description><![CDATA[hes absolutely right. you cant put vista on a windows 98 grade computer and say the OS is bad. apple has such control over their hardware they dont sell anything that cant run the OS slowly. What do you want microsoft to do, have the installer check your hardware and say, "nah, you cant use this os cuz you dont have enough ram." no, vista is awesome because it supports EVERYTHING. linux and mac will never come close in this aspect. finally, vista is good because it is easy to use for mainstream users. i have my mom, dad, and two brothers on it, one of which has my experiment of x64 edition, haha. they all love the OS and havent had any problems with it at all. this os 10.5 isnt the same kind of upgrade as xp to vista is, its basically just apple trying to catch up to linux/gnome with multi desktop support. screw apple, go for linux on the budget, vista for the best experience. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mfed3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 4:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Leopard reviews coming in, usual suspects agree: it's all gravy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</guid><description><![CDATA[Brian<br><br>Come on bro.... seriously, you haven't figured out the game yet???<br><br>"What I hate about Apple is the "us vs. them" mentality. Apple takes lots of cheap shots at Microsoft."<br><br>They both copy tons of features from each other and then display those NEW features in their NEW OS. They never said that the feature is completely thought up out of thin air. e.g. it never existed anywhere else.<br><br>A lot of people could list tons of features which are shared in both OS's with different names. e.g Apple's finder/Microsoft explorer. Different name, slightly different look however they both essentially do the same thing?<br><br>My 2 favorites are the windows Start bar which Microsoft introduce in 1995 while Apple had the Apple menu bar which they develop in 1984. Me; and I bet almost everybody reading this is happy that MS copied that feature! Grab a copy of progman.exe and run it on your computer for 2-30 min. You'll be wondering how anybody got anything done in that environment? The second one is HOTKEYS. Ain't nobody giving that up no matter what OS they are running!<br><br>Point being... Everybody uses it, everybody loves it, and nobody wants to give it up! We don't care who invented it... It's GREAT! And we are saying "Thanks, can you make some more of that cool stuff!"<br><br><br>The game is very simple. It is the company's job to get us, the end users/customers/potential customers/gossipers/etc... to discuss their products to infinity! Then we go out and say all sorts of things in the name of some company that probably didn't say squat. Apple is beyond extraordinarily with that type of propaganda. They have been doing it for decades, and whenever you see somebody post a list of things about company A vs company B. Well company A or B didn't post that stuff. WE DID! (at least most of the time.) And this is how the debate/war/propaganda/conflict/whatever you want to call it, goes on and on... Its just like talking about religion.

Analogous functionality was first developed on consumer level hardware by the Xenix operating system which supported multiple virtual consoles.

I've been a PC and Mac user since the early 80's. I like both OS's and have found faults in both.<br><br> However, for years I heard people tell me that Apple was dead and their OS sucked. It wasn't Linux users, it was Windows users. Now that Apple has turned around and in my opinion made a better operating system, Windows users are now getting some lip back and are crying about it. <br><br>Competition is good and keeps companies honest. Right now OS X Leopard has the limelight and I think it bests Vista. However, that may change in a few updates, who knows. Instead of complaining about Mac users bashing Vista, why not ride MS into improving Vista problems. We know it has them because just about every publication and user has said so.  Remember Microsoft is the Goliath in this picture so expect stones. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shelterpaw]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 11:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Leopard reviews coming in, usual suspects agree: it's all gravy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/leopard-reviews-coming-in-usual-suspects-agree-its-all-gravy/</guid><description><![CDATA["You know, I'm damned tired of hearing Vista trashed in every Mac article."<br><br>No, I don't know...and stop exaggerating. <br><br>"If the Apple platform is strong enough to stand on its own, it should be able to stand without crapping on Vista."<br><br>I think it stands on its own, Brian. The Apple Stores. The iPods. iPhone. The notebook computers. iTunes. They've succeed without Apple needing to "crap on Vista." Or even mentioning Vista. <br><br>It's the computer news Web sites that are crapping on Vista. Oh, and consumers as well.<br><br>"I use Vista on all of my computers, every day.

Nor can you expect it to work well with the crapware that PC makers install (I'm looking at you, Norton/McAfee)."<br><br>People who have quality, brand new computers are having problems. And you can't blame the developers as a whole.

Let it stand for itself."<br><br>You're the one mentioning them in the same breath.

Normal Vista reviews go on and on about what MS calls the "wow" which is, well, lame for the most part. But things like "resume CIFS (Network Places) file transfers" - that's awesome, and I didn't know that! <br><br>I played with Vista for not very long because I got annoyed with the (much worse) wireless networking controls and other little niggles, and my machine was  slow even though it's a 2x2GHz 2GB RAM laptop with X1600 card that _should_ be way fast for all intents and purposes - probably driver issues if you ask me, but whatever it is if your machine wasn't built in 2007 it might be slow for Vista even if it has all the right specs - something to keep in mind!<br><br>I don't buy your "who invented what first" list and Apple keeps dumping on MS because whatever they do, MS copies it. Such is life - we have to accept both the copying and the dumping.

You can find lots of Wintel users up in arms about it's slow startup time, not having drivers for printers and it needing a lot of processing power to run properly.  MS will sell millions of copies of Vista and it will be improved upon.  It's just not what a lot of people expected from an OS that spent so much time in development.  Maybe it just needs to be tweaked a little more.<br><br>Either way, Microsoft was the one who decided to continue support for Win XP and allow buyers to choose which OS they wanted to install on new computers.  There is definitely something behind Microsoft calling that move.  If Vista was everything it was cracked up to be, there would only be a choice of Vista and everyone would be satisfied.<br><br>I had installed Vista Ultimate to try it and although it is okay, I don't think it's that much better than Windows XP for the average user.  And it definitely required more processing power than Win XP Pro.  I don't hate Vista or Win XP Pro.  They're both usable to me but I'll continue to stick with Win XP Pro.<br><br>As for us Apple users trashing Vista, it shouldn't make any difference to you.  You like Vista, you use it, it works for you and that's all that matters.  We're just having some fun.  Us saying Vista ain't that great doesn't mean anything.  We're just in a Leopard funk and enjoy annoying the heck out of Windows users.

Personally though When I see leopard all I see is time machine which I honestly don't really know what the big deal is about anyways. Just back up you stuff and it takes care of it.
