  1. Comment - Psystar wants to get your Apple questions answered

    (Aug 17, 2009 - 3:55 PM)

    The thing here is that if Apple successfully proves its case, the inverse of the case may also hold true and mean that Microsoft may have standing that prevents Mac's from having Windows. While we all know there is no problem putting almost anything on anything with enough code and cpu cycles the real case here should be ownership. IF Apple were to really push the envelope it would stop selling licenses and produce leased DRM versions that phone'd home. However, I think the underlying Darwin, prevents them from doing that... catch-22 If I was apple I would have just bought the company out instead of suing them, they are trying to make an example out of the company and its not benefiting them yet, maybe... in time though it will... or maybe not.

  2. Comment - Cray CX1: the supercomputer you can buy online

    AH ha super fast browsing with Chrome, since it uses separate processes for each tab and plugin.

    This also might help with video editing... :-D 25,000 hmm I wonder if I can spend my ghastly depleting retirement funds on it... they are depreciating as fast as a computer does anyway...

    hmm, I wonder what kind of power brick this thing needs...

  4. Comment - AOL's Platform-A still out front, now pulling away

    Bet Tom works for AOL

    TomA0L02210 :) - its cool though I use to love AOL's file download section back in the day, I subscribed to AOL when no one else could get internet working on all the hodgepod machines that existed. Now however AOL needs to ditch all the software and work on a single killer web 2.0 app, or just merge with Yahoo and be bought up by MS later...
