If I were an MS shareholder, I would be OUTRAGED.
How much did they pay for that? To be fair, I don't recall if MS bought just VPC or all of Connectix, but it hardly matters!
That's got to be a giant pile of shareholder wealth pissed away in a half-assed attempt at being part of (read: smothering) the increasing popularity and utility of Apple.
I would really love to see the numbers on that boondogle.
:rolleyes:
The connectix deal wasn't a 'boondogle' at all - connectix had other products than VPC. MS Virtual Server is based on the code they got from connectix. The server virtualization market is absolutely huge compared to VPC's potential market. I'm sure to Microsoft, VPC was a drop in the bucket in terms of revenue, and if I were a shareholder, I'd be happy as hell that they dropped it.

it almost looks like a flower to me...I was torn between fire and flower when I first saw it.
I guess that just kind of describes people's love-hate relationship with XP.

Interested too!
It looks like it's been getting a bunch of bad (1-star) reviews recently from people who tried to install it on their MBPs and got failed Apple mem tests.
I'd like to save $20 if possible and get the PNY, otherwise my other option is to get a set from Crucial..

I would imagine that the internet will present it's share of problems. Having the OS scale won't solve the problem of everything on the internet being 72 dpi. Yes, we can scale the text, but I'd imagine it will still be a huge mess once they start cranking up DPIs on the monitors.
I don't understand the huge mess part of your comment. You can always display things at a size that is comfortable for you. It was when screen resolution was fixed that everything was a huge mess.
With fixed resolution a designer never knew if his product was going to be displayed at 640X480, 800x600, 1280x1024, widescreen, etc. etc. Now a designer can design at a suitable resolution and the user can scale to a size that is pratical for them.
It is a good thing people. Don't worry.

I don't think that will work. The MacPro uses ECC (error checking) ram. What you're looking at is Non-ECC . Here is a link to Crucial's 2010 Quad Mac Pro page. I've used them quite a few times and have never had any issues.
The link is to the U.S. Site but you can click over to the EU or British site in the upper right corner.
I hope you find this more helpful than the last post

Portal 2 on my 2010 with 5870 plays at 2560x1440 perfectly smoothly on the default graphics which, while not the highest in terms of AA, are very good indeed.
I also noticed that Portal 2 doesn't cause the fans to spin up as much as the old Portal did.

I never had OS9, but I think I heard some of this sound in other places.
In example, the "Quack" one sound me so familiar..., maybe there is a similar sound in Win 95 / 98?
Over the years I've heard a lot of MacOS alert sounds used in TV & radio commercials, I guess because creative types were using Macs. Perhaps that's why. :)

I think if you still have a 3GS, you should bump to an iPhone 4. If you have an iPhone 4 I would stick with it til ver 6. I agree with what this report is saying. The faster processor and camera will most likely make it's way to the phone, but Apple will likely stop there and wait for a screen size improvement for a later version. Apple is not known for just upgrading all of a device's components at once. They tinker with a couple things and slap a new version number. It's what happened with the iPad2. Many expected a higher res screen, but that would have been too many component upgrades.

well what do you think?
The game is great looking visually, but I personally don't care for flight games. The last game based around planes that I enjoyed was U.N. Squadron on the SNES. That game was awesome.

The replacement hard drive is probably blank. You need to install Mac OS X onto the replacement drive before it can run. If you are sure there is a proper OS on the drive, hold down the Option key at boot and select the replacement drive if it appears.

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.
Well, it's a time bug... if you switch back your system's clock to the serial will work.

It seems that iPhone users have higher standards.
You don't see national outrage for recent Verizon nation-wide outage. Where's the outrage that Verizon do not support concurrent voice and data on its "3G" network?
As to iPhone, in the suburbs it's great. In city hotspots, the network gets slower from lots of iPhone users and not-in-my-backyard attitude when it comes to network extension. Verizon won't be immune from it.

One of the things that irritates me about iTMS is the fact that I can't play my purchased tracks on anything other than an iPod.
This doesn't currently affect me as I own an iPod but I would like to be able to use them on other devices as well (such as AAC compatible phones etc.) . This restriction means that I do not purchase as much from iTMS as I might otherwise.
I am wondering how much extra money Apple gets from locking users of iTMS into the iPod system.
Would 'de-regulating' FairPlay in this way encourage owners of other players to buy from iTMS and would this extra revenue offset that losses from lower (potentially) from iPod sales?

a switch is basically like a power strip for ethernet, granted it has some electronics in it, but for the user, the use is pretty much the same.
