Ok, forget Bill. But look at open source guys: THOSE people know how to hit release dates. At least I think they do because it seems like every other day Slashdot is announcing availability of version 4.31.57.111 of some software package I've never heard of. Or are those really secret IP addresses for some conspiracy to which I haven't been invited?

Apple always has a big announcement in late July. The 3GHz could be it. It could also be the new iMacs though (As Apple has stopped producing the current model as of this week).

they are still impressive machines, save for the GPU
I know, the GPU's in these things suck. The Radeon 9800XT is a toy, just because it was released more than a month ago. Why didn't Apple pack these things with some unreleased card from ATI or Nvidia that would run 5X as fast, huh?

the top cpu is wired with the + enrgy going out and the - energy coming in, the bottom cpu is wired with the - energy going out and the + energy coming in. They are in cereal.
(+)->(bottom cpu)-> (-)->(top cpu)-> (+) Therefore since the top cpu is a heater, the bottom cpu is a cooler, as it is wired in the opposite diection

it turned out to be fake though. The guy _didn't_ kill a Mac, he just bought an empty G5 housing and faked the article to scare the crap out of people. He later confessed to his alleged sins, and it turned out everything was a hoax.
Apparently he got a lot of hatemail

Hey, you're the ones who say information WANTS to be free. But even if your information WANTS to give you a blowjob anyone can look at the linux discussions on slashdot and read about what horrific piles of vomit-ridden unusable crap GNOME and KDE are. Linux just WANTS to have some half-usable interface beyond the commandline. And OS X has the exact same commandline.

"It's no hassle to use a plethora of keyboard combos to make up for the patronising one-button mouse. Despite the fact that my hands have FIVE fingers, and multiple-buttons make Web browsing so much more pleasant, I prefer my computer to be treat me like a special-needs child."
You are a special-needs child if you can't figure out how to buy a multibutton mouse. All the ones that work on PC's work on macs. But then your hands have FIVE fingers, not the usual TEN, so I guess you are a crippled special-needs child, so you have an excuse. And Macs are for real computer lovers-have you ever tried to have sex with a PC? The sharp edges on the box and rough construction materials make it S&M no matter how gentle you are.

iBooks aren white not silvery, you blind special needs child, and if you're talking about 12 inch powerbooks you have the cost comparison backwards. But if it's quality you're concerned with, I once beat a man to death with a 17" powerbook, and it didn't even need to be rebooted afterwards.
