   Review - Codename: Dashboard

   2.0 Beta 5 (Jan 28, 2005)

   and yet another apple application and title trying to be mimicked, apple already has the dashboard and all you have to do is press a simple key and it slides out with whatever widget you want to run on it, from ebay items to up to date currency changes to whatever you want. good concept but apple has already claimed that realm, but it will be interesting to see how far they will take this imititation

   Review - 3DMark

   2005 Build 1.2.0 (Jan 26, 2005)

   Good bench program and gives you a good estimate of how your computer should run for futuristic that will rip your computer apart. And for the 9600 xt, that is definately some older technology especially when you are not using pci express x16 which allows the graphics card to have the information to be transferred on a basic two lane highway instead of an old agp slot which it only allows it to go in one direction at time. So update your system before posting a bad review on it because of your older system. And they do have mad pci express boards now so you can still use your 3200+ if you choose to do so.

   Review - BitTorrent for Windows

   3.9.1 (4.0 Beta) (Jan 24, 2005)

   Bit torrent technology is good and there are tons of torrent sites out there. A few bit torrent programs out there that are better rated then the multi-window downloads and the constant pop-ups of tracker issues, is bitcomet and azareus. Inside bitcomet it lists quite a few bit torrent sites, some of them are foreign but the it still has english programs that work. Just food for thought for you all.

5. Comment - Apple Announces Switch to Intel Chips

   3.9.1 (4.0 Beta) (Jun 10, 2005 - 7:31 AM)

   They stated that The OS will not be able to ruu on non Apple Intel machines so they are still having a closed market for everyone else, but by chance to take market share they could possibly make a release for the rest of the x86 world, but there is a difference between a machine that works perfect and one that might work.

   I would never see apple doing dual booting, why put the an enemy on your doorstep? They are very particular about their rom chip (aka) bios. As is there is never an evil C prompt, besides the terminal if you want to use that. The only way I forsee windows on the OS X intel apple computers is through VPC or another form of a virtual environment.

7. Comment - Apple Announces Switch to Intel Chips

   3.9.1 (4.0 Beta) (Jun 7, 2005 - 11:16 AM)

   Everyone is complaining about price about the apple, here is a comparison, for roughly $1,600 u can get a 32 bit Single Processor Computer from HP with similar specs to a G5 apple 64-bit Dual Processor machine which is only $1,999. OS X is built for multiprocessing which if after you pitch in quite a bit of money to get windows xp pro, and the hardware to get a multiprocessor machine, the price break is worth it from apple.
   
   Desing is sleek for their desktop and laptops. There is definately a difference in 2 to 2 1/2 inch laptops from pc makers to a a rough 1 to 1 1/2 laptops from apple, the weight definately makes the difference and so does the ease of software from apple that is already included. No worries about spyware, or viruses on OS X, the only way is to authorize the virus to modify your system files and giving it your root password. If something would ever happen it would only hurt that current users account and not the whole system. Unfortunately with windows, to save or repair stuff you have reinstall windows again and back up stuff or wipe clean to get rid of spyware/viruses or any other OS problems. If something ever occured on OS X, you still have everything and just reinstall a new system folder and lose nothing. Sometimes simplicity is better, and Apple has that for the consumer.
   
   Also for the future, why use dual boot on the forseeable Intel Apple Machines, when u can run virtual pc, whereas before it was emulating a PC processor, it should work beautifully and just as fast as a regular pc if Microsoft permits on updating Virtual PC which they acquired from buying the company Connectix. But there will always be another format to run windows with another emulating environment.
   
   Another thought: They could just be using intel processors and not using the x86 instruction, this is also a possibility which could happen.
   
   If apple did release OS X or someone ported it to work on other processors, then money would be well made, but they won't make the mistake of microsoft of having a huge environment and trying to have thousands of third party products, and wasting time and money on stuff that doesn't work very well and isn't always compatible with the Operating System. I would personally want something that works all the time then some of the time. Plus also without the hassle of worrying about spyware and viruses and that is why OS X is the choice for me and unfortunately I do have a PC and I don't own a mac but I service both windows and apple machines and by far apple blows away windows software hands down and plus with ease of use of software that comes with it and not having to buy seperate software. Itunes, Iphoto, garage band, ISync, Imovie whichs does HD video and then IDvd. Which if you try to get software similar that has the ease of use, it will cost you about anywhere from $40-120 per software title to just get for Windows and it might not even work with the hardware you have on a Windows Machine whereas you get all the software with the computer when you buy it from apple or if you want you can upgrade your old Ilife. Or if cost is an option for some customers, you can always get a mac mini and eliminate space problems which starting is only $499. So apple does have every bracket covered from low end to high end. Also ghz is no longer pushed and compared that more ghz is faster. All training from intel, amd, and apple state that higher ghz is better. Hench why Intel is switching to processor numbers and familys and AMD has gone to naming like the 4000+ or 3800+. Anyways the choice is yours, hopefully as a consumer everyone will make the right one and go with sleek, slim, and ease of use for operating systems.

8. Comment - Google, Yahoo Turn On Video Search

   3.9.1 (4.0 Beta) (Jan 25, 2005 - 3:58 PM)

   Yahoo already had a video search since they own Alltheweb.com and you can search by many different options, they would only be upping their standard to do what google is doing but with the captioning but you can already search for video clips.
