Agree. Apple folks must have had a lot of k points to get that operating system.

CE Spending Looks Dismal - But Macs Set to Hit New All-Time High

rattyuk what about the notion that mac runs on graphics, and windows on math? And thanks, now I have to look up what is a root user. Assuming right off that it's not a tubervore of some kind lol

CE Spending Looks Dismal - But Macs Set to Hit New All-Time High

Anyone know why Macs are less hackable? Just curious

The Music Biz: Something Important Is On The Horizon

Thinking ahead... I would argue that "iPod fidelity is terrible". Would you clarify what fidelity level you are referring to? High end MacIntosh, and comparable systems, are designed to deliver sound through the air in a room to your ear. Very different from an ear bud which basically uses the air in your head (no disrespect or pun intended) and has more than enough immersion to be enjoyable. I haven't heard any of the streaming music offerings, and I wouldn't listen to them if I didn't like the sound. Having said that, I would love more fidelity on my iPod. I can't hear the bass farts on Chick Corea's "La Fiesta" with my iPod like I could with a Walkman. Trade off I guess to having hundreds of favorites on a thin little device instead of 13 tracks on a bigger less usable portable cd player.
