    1 GB DDR module prices

    Right now, 512 MB modules seem to be in the price sweetspot. When can we expect 1 GB modules to drop in price? Right now where I live, 1 GB modules are about 33% more expensive than two 512 MB modules.

    Canadians: Who are you voting for and why?

    The Canadian government counts people who are not employed and whose only job search method is looking at job advertisements (i.e. they aren't going on interviews), towards the unemployment rate. The American government considers this group to be out of the labour force. If the Canadian numbers...

    Canadians: Who are you voting for and why?

    The Auto Pact was the predecessor of NAFTA and the Canada-US FTA. Ontario's auto and auto parts workers are likely no better off than they were before NAFTA because the Auto Pact existed prior to that. Actually, they may be worse off because Toyota and Honda recently got the Auto Pact nullified...

    So Anand wants to open an AT Mac Section

    Perhaps. But I'll tell you what. There is heated and innovative competition going on right now between OS X applications of which there aren't even any win32 equivalents. For instance, Launchbar and Quicksilver are duking it out feature for feature in an application space that win32 users...

    POLL: Mac vs. PC

    I suppose the old adage applies here. For those who have used a modern Mac, no explanation is required for why they use and prefer Macs. For those that have not used a modern Mac, no explanation will suffice for why they should use Macs. Some things in life cannot be figured out a priori, and...

    Benchmark: Dual G5 vs Athlon 64 vs Itanium 2 vs Pentium 4 vs Power 4 vs Power 3

    Judging from the comments, I think some of you are missing the other benchmark results there. The G5 only slaughters the competition in the first benchmark. The Athlon 64 and the G5 trade top spots in the remainder of the results. When you open the results page, there are 5 buttons "Lorentz"...

    PowerBook 12.1

    Celeron, Did you use the iBook G3 or iBook G4? Even though the look has been retained, I have heard the iBook G4 has a nicer keyboard that is closer to the feel of the Powerbook. I haven't tried it myself. But if you were using the iBook G3, it definitely has a flimsier feel to the keyboard.

    PowerBook 12.1

    It is looking like there will be one final generation of Powerbook G4s before we see a Powerbook G5. That being said, I really do sense that a Powerbook G5 will at the very least be announced sometime in 2004. There are some pros and cons to purchasing a Powerbook G4 at this point in its life...

    Bought an original iMac, couple questions.

    I hate to break it to you, but your iMac probably runs an OS that is entirely different than what would ship on a new Powerbook. We're not talking the same type of difference between say Windows XP and Windows 95, but Windows XP and Windows 3.1. That iMac probably has OS 8 or OS 9 on it. There...

    Apple releases dual 90 nm (66 mm2 die size) 64-bit G5 2.0 GHz Xserve 1U with ECC support *Pix*

    I agree with you. MS Office is vastly different on each platform. The code base isn't even the same. I wouldn't so much call it a port since the Mac Business Unit is responsible for MS Office for Mac and they don't just take MS Office for Windows and redo it for Mac. In fact, this would be like...

    Want to play with OS-X what is the minimum used Mac I should get to run it well?

    Buy the lowest end model in the Apple line-up - the 1 GHz eMac. It will run OS X 10.3 quite well once you upgrade the RAM. I personally run OS X 10.3 on a G3 700 MHz iBook with 640 MB RAM and am quite happy with the performance. I am limited to what I can do with it in terms of multimedia though...

    Price of Strong Mac G5- How much for similar PC?

    Mail is Apple's own client, a derivative of NeXT's Mail client, not GNUMail. Also, iLife is a wonderful suite of software to come pre-installed on a computer. Office is indeed only a trial edition, but most of the software bundle is not trial software.

    Price of Strong Mac G5- How much for similar PC?

    Since you've already used a modern PC, I would suggest going to an Apple retailer and using a Mac for at least 20 minutes. Familiarize yourself with the web browser, the e-mail client, address book and calendaring software. Then move on to the iLife suite, including iTunes, iPhoto, iMovies, iDVD...

    w00t! Sympatico DSL users rejoice! Free upgrade to 3 Mbps down, 800 Kbps up.

    I just got Sympatico but they dumped me on the interleaved 1 Mb/128 kb profile. You know what's really nice? Cogeco cable users were upgraded to 10Mb down, 1 Mb up. Apparently Cogeco's cable network rocks - I've yet to hear one of their users complain.

    Anand wants to know how you feel about Apple...

    Windows relies on the application to send out a warning to the user. If the application implements no warning, or the user just breezes through the dialog without reading it, much harm can be done. Mac OS X does these dialogs at a lower level and is consequently more effective. A subtle, but...

    You know, there is this myth that if Macs were just more popular, they would be inundated with viruses. And that may have been true with Macs pre OS X. But OS X is a lot more difficult to attack with a virus. Let me illustrate why I think this is the case. 1) Mail.app, which is the e-mail...

    Powerbook G4 and ibook

    The ATI 9200 in the iBooks has a 64-bit memory interface compared to the 128-bit memory interface of the 5200 GO in the Powerbook. Consequently, the 9200s in the iBooks are not faster than the 5200 GOs in the Powerbooks. I was initially under the same impression as you until I looked at ATI's...

    Ibook: 1 or 2 SoDIMM slots

    That is correct. There's 128 MB of memory soldered to the board and one RAM expansion slot that is, at least for the dual USB or G4 models, located under the keyboard.

    I'll be hosting a few moderate-to-low traffic database-driven intranet sites. It'll also act as an IMAP server and backup server.

    RAID experts and/or Linux gurus

    I thought that the cheaper RAID solutions (HighPoint and lower-end Promise ones) actually were just normal IDE hosts and performed their RAID functionality via driver tricks. In that case, for a RAID 1 setup, wouldn't there be twice the bandwidth usage for writes? I'm thinking that a couple of...

    I'd like to setup an IDE-based RAID 1 setup on a server I'm assembling. It seems to me that all the IDE RAID controllers save for those that are out of my budget, use the PCI bus. Of course the add-on RAID cards are PCI ones. But even the integrated motherboards seem to just slap a RAID chip...

    Have anyone tried the new iBook G4 or the 12" PowerBook?

    I've used a 12" Powerbook G4 1 GHz. It felt quite fast compared to my G3 700 iBook. For what you would be doing, the iBook 800 would be sufficient. I fire up Photoshop on my iBook 700 to do simple editing for the web. Unless I'm using filters, it's fast enough for me. However, Macs are the...

    Microsoft buys Apple G5s. Employee gets fired for posting picture.

    12 ms response time LCD

    So I went to the Apple Store today..

    I'm just wondering... are all laptops out of your price range? At $1099, I think the 12" iBook is a great deal and well within most laptop customers price ranges. Just wondering if $1099 is out of your range or if you thought it was a lot more expensive and thus out of your range.

    So I went to the Apple Store today..

    Now that I have Expose, I've changed around my multi-tasking habits. I never minimize any windows to the dock unless I absolutely know I won't work on it. I just leave everything open and expose between them all. It's great. Also, I now hide the dock since it's only useful for launching apps. So...
