December 30, 2005 at 7:06 pm in reply to: Interesting NYT story today, Intel to shift to low power forget speedFrom what I have read IBM has always looked down their noses at Apple. So Apple wants chips, so what, you might hear them say. They (IBM) are dedicated to the powerPC for everything, high performance is essential to them and for them.
More and more the IBM multi chip (powerPC) based computers are setting recorder for speed, but they did not seem to care about making a low power version for a laptop. For Apple laptops are where the money is at, (profit) yes iPods but i am talking about a cpu centric computer. With IBM going for high performance multi-chip systems (running their own operating systems) Apple was right to look elsewhere, but, if it is true that the tipping point came because of Microsoft and the XBox, I wonder just what gust of wind will come along and drag us somewhere else. In other words, what will cause us to trash the next investment because of a whim?
While Intel has far more capacity to make chips I think IBM could have supplied to everyone if they wanted to, outsourcing happens with chips too.
I have read that Xbox has or soon will go on sale in Japan, millions are at the dock or on their way.
Does anyone think the giant of chips is going to care what Apple wants them to do when they want it?
With that said, I love the products are recognize that the software side of Apple as the best of the best, we are in a golden era with Apple and their fantastic software, but this constant darts in the air strategy makes me dislike the company.

Funny thing is…
You could try to use iPhoto!!!
No Joke.
Drag pix into iPhoto, put them in their own folder, sort by date or title and export as a QT file.
hehehehe.Who said free software was worth what you pay for it.

I am unable to form a positive or negative opinion on the new camera based on this footage. Middle aged white guys under mercury vapor lights is an odd choice of subject and setting. The pool clip seems to have some motion issues, the gymnast is an homage to high rez crispness, well worth seeing. Some of its nice some of its junk.
When Panasonic unveiled the 100 camera they showed some wedding prep footage from New Jersey that was embarrassing, am I missing something here.
I am sold on the specs I want to be sold on the camera.
