@SuperCujo: iLife is not part of the OS. If I buy a retail copy of Leopard, I don't get any of the iLife apps. I can install whatever competing products I want, or I can buy iLife. When I buy a Mac I get iLife for free, pre-installed, with the capacity t … (see comment)

Official: Apple updates iMac

Just because parts came from the same factory, doesn't mean the delivered batch is the same quality. Apple may very well specify higher QA thresholds for their orders, which would drive up the cost to them, and hence the cost to you. Given Apple's consist … (see comment)

I don't mind talking about it at all, because I don't care about gaming on my PC, because I have a console for that. PC gaming is important for you, so you're less likely to by a Mac. It's not important to me, so it doesn't factor into my decision. So ... … (see comment)

Comment in News (2 diggs, 1 reply) - on 04/23/2008

not really, they just don't compete in the low-margin bargain PC market. A comparably equipped Dell/HP/Sony typically costs the same. (see comment)

Texas passes New York on Fortune 500 list

Comment in News (6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/23/2008

it's not like there are Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the rolling plains, desert, or hill country (yes, Austin is in the hill country, but it's not all of it). They're in major metros like Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio. Texas is ahead by 3 … (see comment)
