Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It looks like Jobs isn't saying when Tiger will ship, except that it's due in the first half of the year.

Thanks, Tom.
Maybe I'll buy Panther (10.3) now for my iBook. I've just discovered (on my Cube) that The Gimp will run on a Mac with 10.3 (with Apple's X11 installed).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's on the front page of apple.com, too. It's the most adorable computer I've ever seen!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, that shuffle is ... something I don't need, but want quite a bit.

It's cheap, but they're selling it without a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Buyers are going to feel like they're being nickeled and dimed, which is something I often feel when I'm dealing with Apple.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So cute!

I totally want one... except I just bought my Cube for about the same $. The Cube, while not as cute, looks cooler IMHO. Mine has far more RAM and HD space, but a much slower G4 processor (450 Mhz as opposed to 1.42GHz).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup.
