Apple had similar banners before Tiger came out, remember?

So why are all you MS fanbois getting your Bill Gates underoos in a wad?

It's just fun, folks. Besides, they're true. Remember all the feature cut out of Vista that are already in Tiger? (Wicked-fast searches, live preview, widgets, etc....)

"high-end aims"?

You guys have no idea at all about the camera market, do you? Always with the snide remarks about Rollei, Voigtlander, and now Minox.

Minox IS a high-end camera company. Digicams are not their main market. They make mechanical cameras; one of the last companies to do so. Think "spy camera". Google "Minox TLX", or have a look at:

KMAN:
Not quite...

The entire NeXT line was overpriced, hence, failure

The entire SGI line is now overpriced (commoditization), hence, failure

The G4 Cube was a pro machine priced above and specced lower than the other pro machines, hence, failure

The Quadro Plex is the highest of the high-end pro line. There is nothing else like it. If you want to edit 12 megapixel HD video, this is it. Ergo, it will sell. WHen you are making feature movies or IMAX movies, 18 grand is a drop in the bucket.

Maybe I'm just slow...but what happens when you power down your computer? The product page lists the power source as the USB port. Certainly you don't have to set the time every single time you turn your computer on?

Voigtlander was a very big name in German cameras and optics from the 30's through the 60's. Zeiss purchased them in 1966, and the brand name has transferred hands several times until finally winding up with Cosina. The current crop of Voigtlander cameras and lenses, while nice, are nowhere near as nice as the original gear. The current crop is basically a modified 35mm Cosina SLR body, and is a "plastic"-type camera, not the heavy, solid-metal, all-mechanical cameras that they used to make, and Leica still makes (Leica MP).

Neat fact: Voigtlander made the first 35mm zoom lens, the f/2.8 36-82mm Zoomar, in 1959. It cost 759 DM in 1964. So you have Voigtlander to thank for all your zooms.

I've always thought that it was a mark on the once-proud Voigtlander name to have Cosina making plastic cameras, slapping "Voigtlander Germany" on them, right next to "Made in Japan".

Absolute shame that Rollei has fallen this far. Their older TLR's are a marvel of engineering and works of art. The TLR's they sell now are mere shadows of what they used to sell, and are about on par with the old Rolleicords. Shame. At least they are still in business, which is more than can be said for far too many old-school camera companies.

#15: And the "open" PlaysForSure will play on my iPod, right?

ANY DRM is closed by necessity. If you're going to pick on FairPlay, you have to pick on PlaysForSure, too. They both lock music into certain players. You're just bitter than it's Apple, not M$, who has the market.

LOGO was better.
