just on the lock down thing, arnt intel developing hardware rights management, could this be a coincedence? or are they doing it so that they can lock OSX to OSX intel chips?

I would love go get my hands on a leek of the OSX x86 OS, that would be mint!

PS. most pc users are "coming out" about there little fetish for OSX :devil:

yeaj...but the kicker is probabely that it will ONLY run on Intel-Apple hardware...I don't think it'll just run on any PC...Apple is not stupid...(although I thought they were 10 minutes ago and still feeling it)

I've been reading all the comments on certain mac sites from all the fanboys and they are extreme! talkin about trashing there iBooks and cursing Apple and Jobs LOL

I don't care want CPU is being used, I care about the user expereince that OS X gives me, i care about the look and feel of my iBook, that'll never change... except the price for my next iBook will come down (plus a 4+Ghz iBook in sounding sweet!).

man, i can't believe this. i feel like hell has frozen over. i never imagined a day with xboxes running IBM chips, and apple running Intels. ever since i've been into computers, this is all i have known, this was like my foundation. and now it's crumbling. i don't know what to think.

People, Apple sent me another PowerMac Transition Kit by mistake but its running the wrong OS, see pic below:

:(

What to do???

Open it up!!!!!

Need to know:

is it a 660 or 560j?

Full 64bit?

Who made the motherboard?

Other intel components? (NIC, Northbrigde)

MAC bios screen?

man, i can't believe this.  i feel like hell has frozen over.  i never imagined a day with xboxes running IBM chips, and apple running Intels.  ever since i've been into computers, this is all i have known, this was like my foundation.  and now it's crumbling.  i don't know what to think.

hehe....I don't think any of us say this one coming...

Change is good...but this....this is....different...

yeaj...but the kicker is probabely that it will ONLY run on Intel-Apple hardware...I don't think it'll just run on any PC...Apple is not stupid...(although I thought they were 10 minutes ago and still feeling it)

kyuubi, it might look a stupid move to you, me & a whole lot of others (because we know nothing even now) but the folks at Apple know more than us and it might make sense with that "additional information". Dont you think ?

lol @ the height of stupidity. Thats their own loss, better ship them to me and I'll personally "trash" them :p ;)

AHHH! Why does it matter what CPU your using?!!

I don't understand why this is a sad day for Apple.

It's not unless you truely believed the "megahertz myth" video from back when the G4

was announced or the cisc vs risc performance graph from pack when apple went to PPC back in the day.

It's sad because mac users are so tired of transitions. I'm tempted to draw a parallel

to the nomadic state of the Jews a few thousand years ago. I just want things to settle

down. I thought they had with OS X 10.4 and the G5, I was wrong.

Embrace the new technology, embrace PCIe, embrace Pentium M, embrace a Dual-Core Powermac Workstation.

Apple was shipping dual CPU systems to the masses before they were a glimmer in

Intel/AMDs eyes. Dual core/dual processor - that's just an implimentation detail. IBM

was producing those chips years ago too. PCIe could easily be dropped onto

U3L - there's nothing that said you have to use a Pentium for that.

The pentium M does have some nice perofmrance/watt specs though.

Moving to P4 hardware sort of puts a damper on the speculation of a 4 processor

(dual dual core) 970 MP based poewrmac though.

kyuubi, it might look a stupid move to you, me & a whole lot of others (because we know nothing even now) but the folks at Apple know more than us and it might make sense with that "additional information". Dont you think ?

hehe...actually...if Apple do lock it...than it will be a VERY good move...at the moment, this is the only way I can see that will work with out Apple crashing and burning..

So will PowerMac be dual core Pentium 4?

will iMac be Pentium 4?

will eMacs & mini be celeron?

will iBook be centrino celeron?

and will pbook centrino?

586025354[/snapback]

I doubt they'd use Celeron, too **** for Apple. If Jobs okays that he's a ****ing dick.

i think the only way ill buy it when it comes out is if the developer support is there for sweet apps (pref open source), it runs on of the shelf hardware and the gaming industry makes the move from dx X to a new and proper MINT ( :p , but no im not a chav) open GL x.x ICD and supports mac OS x86.

    • Tor Browser 15.0.15 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.15 changelog: All Platforms Updated NoScript to 13.6.20.1984 Updated Tor to 0.4.9.9 Bug tor-browser#42436: Allow for multiple configured (front, reflector) domain fronting pairs in Moat module Windows + macOS + Linux Bug tor-browser#44997: Captcha doesn't work in TB desktop Linux Bug tor-browser#44886: Backport tor-browser#44361: Notify Linux i686 users that they won't receive updates anymore Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
    • And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
