[JK47]

The Sensible OS Pricing Award to Apple Computer, for charging $129 for one copy of OS X Panther, but a very affordable $199 for a five-license family pack.

Wo-hooo.

Go PC World. Is Longhorn in the Hall of Shame Vaporware category yet?

Does MS get title sponsorship of the Security/Stability OS Hall of Shame?
Do they win the award for most shipping bugs and known vulnerabilities?
Oh wait... it's PC World. Never mind.

Longhorn is the hall of shame ;)

I liked this:
Lose the tiny wires. Building a PC shouldn't require the steady hands of a grizzled FBI bomb squad veteran. A standardized block connector could easily replace those little wires that go from your case to the motherboard. Until then, remember: It's always the green wire.


Yeah, block connector...or a G5 would solve all those problems. Just another way Macs are better, always have been, always will be. Not only do they Just Work ®, they look better too, inside and out.

Screw block connectors, get a G5. :D

Actually, as far as I know Apple already uses a block connector for all the case headers - Power, reset, programmer's switch, and speaker, all connected in a single block that goes to the motherboard. I really wish PCs would do that. Having built a couple myself I have to say that is the most annoying part.
