Yes I know it does not have Alti-Vec, but honestly if you stripped out alti-vec which would be a superior processor the 7455(G4) or the 750fx (G3), I think without the Alti-vec or as apple calles it Velocity Engine the G3 would kick the G4's butt.
If you consider the heat output of the current G3 and also the power intake, I think the G3 750fx is actually a better choice for the current design iBooks IMHO. What do we need. Give us another 200 or 300 MHz speed bump and the 133MHz bus speed. Those two things would help this little machine perform close to PowerBooks for less money, heat, and power consumption.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the G4 has another one up on the G3, Dual Processor ability. From what I understand, you can't do dual G3s. Is this true?

Is it supposed to be a hardware fix and a new edition of the PS3 or will it be some sort of firmware fix.

Seriously: if I walk in to a store and take CD from the shelf, and not pay it, I'm stealing. If I make an identical copy of the CD and leave the original on the shelf, I'm not stealing, I'm committing a copyright-infringment. But I'm not stealing.We've had this dictionary discussion before. But when a book author finds somebody using a photocopier to make a copy of their book instead of buying it, the word used doesn't matter as much as the fact you got something they were selling without paying.Same logic: if I take someone else's car, and drive away with it, I'm stealing it. But if I create an identical copy of the car (using a replicator I got from Star Trek) for myself, have I stolen anything? From whom have I stolen?Same logic: Musical artists aren't selling you round bits of plastic. They are selling you a copy of their music. Same logic: When you buy PhotoShop, you are buying more than the CD and some packaging. You are buying a license to use it, and even if you download a copy without taking something away from somebody else, you are getting something worth money and the owner/producer has reason to expect payment.I find it rather surprising how blindly people here defend Apple, even after seeing how they remove your rights little by little. How many times can you burn your iTunes-songs to CD? It used to be ten times. But Apple reduced it to seven.Yeah, and I wonder why they did that. It was at the same time they increased the number of Macs you can authorize, so overall it was an improvement. Maybe they were tinkering with their deal with the record labels.Then they removed the ability to share/stream your songs from itunes to others.I can't imagine how they made that mistake, allowing sharing over the Internet instead of only over LANs when anybody could tell you the record labels (yes, them again) would be up in arms.Little by little, you feel the DRM-noose tightening around your necks. It seems like a major PR-coup to me, when you have Apple reducing your rights little by little, and you guys are screaming "Yes! Reduce our rights even more!"I wonder if they could offer a new program: You get to have all DRM removed in exchange for burly RIAA enforcers paying you surprise visits whenever they like to check what you are listening to. I'm just kidding, but it's too bad that honest customers have to bear the burdens of dishonest customers, and that any of us have to feel hogtied.

I voted FFVI Advance as I've played the SNES version so many times and I expect the GBA rehash to be even better. A close call with both IV and V, the latter I'm playing right now...I just love the job system in V where you actually combine the skills you learn of different jobs, unlike III where the only point of learning 2 jobs is so that you can comfortably be one of those 2 jobs at any time.
VI was just the first, in my mind, to have great weapons/armor/relics that allowed for equiping characters to be based on preference and not just have a single piece of equipment that was hands down better than all others.
I have FFIV for the GBA, it's slathered in CHEEEESE. :) I just need to finish it. I almost shite myself when I noticed readers from Nintendo Power gave it an award for best writing/story in a game. They can't be serious? :eek:
<]=)
At least to me, compare with FFI, II, and III, the storyline in IV was WAAAY better and really lead to the great storylines that were to come in latter FFs. True, it can't compare to the storylines in the FFs since, but it was a huge step.

I love the sound of British English; it sounds so clean and sterile and detached. I just saw Woody Allen's Match Point--it makes me want to take on a British accent--but I know that's kind of lame.

I remember when the nano was released. On News24, 10 mins after Job's showed the world, they had one in the studio showing people the new iPod.
Probably helped that Apple have started using a BBC studio as their Euro base for transatlantic announcements for journos with demo units there... Presumably someone just had to kidnap the Nano and take it down the corridor

if i am not mistaken, there are many users that if you search for their profile, it yeilds the same result as that link does.

Um, Don't know what chart you were looking at, but with both processors being used, the 1.25 kicked the "snot" out of the PC's.
Ohhh, you mean that one test where the Mac beat an old dual Athlon by, look, 2 points? 38/40 hardly matters, especially seeing as how Athlon MP's are available at 1.8ghz rather than the 1.6ghz tested. Xeons are available at up to 2.8ghz if you want a real top of the line SMP PC. How do you suppose the dual 1.25 would do against that sort of competition?

I think that is the clue that says it�s real. If it said PowerBook then it would have to be a lot bigger.
But think about it, it is a Power Book! Duo. You can read and write!;)
I don�t know about the logo though. Does it say i.

Do you mean slower in clock speed? or slower in processing speed?
I suspect you mean slower in clock speed and faster at processing speed which would get more work done in a give unit of time.

Now why do hackers have to go do this? they say they do it cuz the prices that cd's are is "unfair" and "overpriced". now i simply have to ask the question... if your a hacker.. more than likely you deal with computers. dont you think that your overpaid for you job? for a small simple example.. best buy geek squad.. overpriced.. they want 30+ dollars to install a stick of ram. the point is... the money is for the most part equally distributed to be able to pay these high prices. income is accomidated for the high prices of products. if u think it's bad over here.. go to japan and try and buy a medium fries on their "dollar menu" which in usd=$5. so back my main point... just pay the frick'n money, most ppl's income are accomidated for the increase cost. if you feel u cant afford a cd... that's what christmas or your birthday is for or even the radio. by the way... i'm not an "artist" either... im majoring in ECE myself so i'm not biased.

I gave it a bit of a workout for a day, and twice Firefox 1.0 stopped recognizing mouse clicks. Menus would pull down but fail to do anything, requiring a force-quit to recover. There also seems to be a problem with Javascript and tabs, pages are hanging if they aren't the visible pane.
Oh well, maybe they'll get a cleaned-up 1.1 out there soon.

i am shocked. actually, i do not know, what to say about this. do they mean, if i send a picture through iChat, AOL can extract this picture and use it?
what about iSight conversations?
You bet. It means anything you do they own it and can use it.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GET iPSP.
IMO it's a far far better app than PSPware, but the keys for iPSP have a horrible tendency to not work. The company have seemingly disappeared, and do not reply to support emails. Check the reviews on VersionTracker and MacUpdate for further instances of this.
I actually loved iPSP, the way it would resize images efficiently to save wasting space on the Memory Stick was excellent. But as the company is either dishonest or defunct, you must keep right away.
PSPWare is at best average, at worst pathetic, but if you buy a licence it will definitely work.

It can infect the mac partition? :eek: oh well there goes my 'theory'
It can infect the mac partition, but only if it can see it. Which, normally, wouldn't be the case. Mac partitions are HFS and Windows can't normally see HFS partitions. They would need a program like MacDrive installed.
