Really look good, but just a quick question - Who are marking the 8800GT graphicscard? Foxconn?
No no no.. It's called zfs - Remember what Jonathan told us?!
I'm not sure if you have tried professional monitor earplugs, but believe me - there is difference. There is a reason musicans are willing to spend $1500 on a pair of Ultimate Ears 10.

But a little advise.. The silicone flips on mosts earplugs is simply crap. The silicone flances on my UE Super.fi 5 Pro like so.. Only pros is that they are easy to clean.

Instead - a some replacable foam tips to set on (Not the orginal, just ordinary ones - costs 2$ a pop or so.. They are rated for around -35 dBa - instead of -26 dBa like normal silicone flances.
Thanks for the recap of what's possible on a G4 system.

I have a bit more succes on my PowerBook Alu G4 1.25Ghz machine with 1 GB Ram and ATI Radeon 9600.

I did the upgrade on a 45GB installation with a lot of programs, and the installation (I put the DVD on a firewire (my superdrive is broken) lasted around 45 minutes, quite impressive.

All programs works, DVD Player, Time Machine, Adobe CS3, Matlab, MS Office '04 and so one.

Only problems so far, is the lack of smb support in Time Machine, netatalk to Debian fileserver dosn't work, first backup to Time Machine took around 4 hours!!! And ofcouse, only read-only zfs kext support :(

Leopard is like Walt M. said - Evolutionary not revolutionary. But still nice upgrade, it's a fine polish on a very nice Unix bassed OS. Looking forward to 10.6.
No - it was a flop, because there where no info on ZFS and that the iPhone indeed well be closed down like hell.. From devs perspective, it's a flop.. 64-bit and the finder are not *new* features, it was catch-up as an evolution.

I really looked forward to working with zfs, but maybe sun CEO was pissed Jobs of this time - or they are saving it for October.. Anyway the stock market reacted negative, dropping around $10-15 as a follow..

And what about the iMacs? They haven't been updated for nearly a year? A call it a flop.. Leopard is looking very very nice, but for a devs perspective, they should focus on lower levels technologies rather than PhotoBooth features (That's gotta be consumer-stuff).

All other MacWorlds and WWDC's have had much more to announce to the 22 million technocrates that enjoys a pretty BSD platform ;-).
Hey

It's a wonderfull idea Apple/EMI have come up - and is the final frontier for me personally switching to buy music from iTunes.

But a just bought a song from the Danish iTunes Plus, and the downloaded song is *still* mp4 Proteched - and cannot play in VLC.

Maybe some birth-problems, but it is not the first time Apple is ignoring non-US iTunes Stores.

But I cannot be the only one, can I? ;-)

tnn
Let's hope that they put a new media processor in it.. The 1500 could barely decode a DivX movie, and the software is still buggy - even after severel updates - and is generely verly poorly writing from a userfriendly standpoint
My PS1 seems a deadbite and the PS3 isn't coming to Denmark anytime soon (Maybe Q2 '07).. Prehand thanks
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
