Ok, if you were aware it was a handspring then you should have also known that the handspring visor is incapable of OS upgrades and therefore couldn't possibly be real.
It also brings up the question, if you knew this, then why on earth did you post it?

Speak for yourself my friend:p , I fly all the time,

I was just stating that for a gig I could buy a microdrive as well as buying a CF card. I like options;)

In fact, MacOS X 10.4 has been installed on non-Apple hardware. Palladium did not prevent it. It was not even an issue.
It most certainly was, and continues to be, an issue. TPM hacks are necessary at the outset in order to get OS X to install on non-Apple hardware. Most of the pirated images floating around are already hacked for convenience. iMeowbot is 100% correct.

I have been using the beta of WMP 11 for a while now with some interest. WMP 11 combines music, video, and photo playback in the one window application. The appearance of the app (and of upcoming Vista) is more like prelease versions of Mac OS X, back before Apple muted the "lickability" of its GUI. WMP is a shiny black with blue accents. It acts as a browser for a good number of online music stores, but most notably pushes URGE.
Having used it for some time, I am reminded of my earlier concenrs over the naming of iTunes.
Windows Media Player is fortunately named because it is a catch all for all types of media: music, TV, movies, and photos.
Now that iTunes does music AND videos it seems the naming is less than ideal. It also brings to mind that Apple may in the future want to integrate iPhoto functionality directly into iTunes, and even iMovie, and iDVD, and GarageBand.
I suppose the singular application could be called iLife, and iLife Lite on Windows would support playback but not editing of creation of music, videos, and photos.
I believe also that with or without these future additions, the source list of iTunes should be clarified with more hierarchy.

I think this is a great idea. The fact is the gap on this planet between rich & poor keeps getting wider. Hopefully one of these kids picking up a $100 laptop will grow to become a major force in the tech industry and create some real change.

There's that guy that's so dang bad at making video game adaptions...what's his name? I was so pissed when I heard HE was doing the Castlevania movie. Thankfully it went on hold for another year waiting for snow...
Some games COULD make great video games...like the FIRST Resident Evil...that was spooky and cool...creepy house, zombies, great. Why they chose what they did...?
GeOW is great coop gameplay and a lame story/dialgoue...there are some actions that would be kind of fun in a movie...like the spotlight bit and the bat things (I started playing it with sound off due to the horrible dialogue and don't know proper names) could make interesting action scenes... but I'd be banking on horrible with the past successes...but maybe someone will pull a Spider Man /Blade and revive the genre.

the 17 inch screen looks huge and i couldn't imagine what the 19 inch would look like...they might have to add weight to the base to keep it stable
the 17 looks just fine and when i moved it around the base was rock solid

Firstly, let me say I'm against DRM if it restricts me using my own music I've paid for, but equally I see why artists don't want me uploading my iTunes Library to Gnutella.
Now, this "I do it to help Linux" excuse, it's rubbish. I've no objection to people choosing Linux (I use it on several servers) but to then moan it can't do xyz is crazy. If you need to watch DVDs, access iTunes, play The Sims, use Word etc then you should be running an OS that can do those things not by hacking support by illegal means. I understand the frustration of not being supported, but again it was by choice, lobby Apple to do Linux iTunes.
I applaud this software for giving me my usage rights back, but lets not make DVD Jon a hero of Linux, he just likes beating the system.

eWeek just came out with an article claiming that Apple has a feature-complete version of OS X running on x86 architecture that is codenamed Marklar.
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,496270,00.asp
It pulls together a lot of older rumors and Star Trek history, but has a few new interesting tidbits.

Eeek that takes hours between formating and applying all the updates. Not to mention restoring your files and stuff like that.
I generally try to keep my format & reinstalls (the windows dance) down to every 6 months but I've done 4 over the past 2 weeks. :mad:

If Apple were to sell a x86 computer running OS X and it was faster, it would probably give us better machines at a better price, again boosting Apple's image and market share. Sure at the expense of the PPC but they would still get the sales on the x86 side. Apple does not need to be in the CPU business to be profitable in hardware. Just ask Microsoft. Again a win for Apple.
What would probably happen is the x86 machine would be cheap and fast for many things, but not for audio/video/graphics. Here the Velocity Engine would help out. So the customer decides what he or she is going to use the computer and buys the right tool for the job. THE CHIP SPEED DEBATE NEEDS TO BE SEPARATE FROM THE OS DEBATE!
I think there are a few questions and points missing from your analysis.
Do you have any idea how much it would cost to design, tool, manufacture and market a machine with an x86 based CPU to prove it would be better to use PPC?
If Apple releases a machine based on an x86 CPU, what application software would anyone run on it? None of the apps would work since they are compiled for PPC, and I doubt the app vendors would be keen on building for both.
Apple already has a less expensive CPU without Velocity Engine for customers who do not need high multimedia power. Its called the G3.
Do you have any idea how much it would cost Apple in terms of money and effort to maintain an optimized release of OS X and all of the iApps for both PPC and x86?
I'm not trying to be critical. But I do not see where having both x86 and PPC based systems would be practical or a win.

I tried to read the article, but couldn't come away with anything as mind blowing as the title. Perhaps it's that Finals-Week state of mind...
Can someone sum up in two lines what's so cool about this, and what the possibilities are? From what I read it sounded like they made a better PDF file...
Tyler Z.
I think this kind off document would be usefull in big companies. I used to work at a bank where I needed to delegate invoices. The invoice had a lifecycle of:
central incomming invoices => delegation to departments => send to proper financial directors => sign or deny invoices => possible 2nd sign => go to financial department => include in financial book => pay => archive invoice
I would imagine that if you can make a single electronic document that represents only the required data for each user, this process can be greatly optimized.
