Windows 7 borrows from OS X, avoids Vista

@MickF

OSX - for people who (a) don't need to install a driver or (b) don't need to call support.

Apple MacBook

@Shakje

...and Mac OSX+iLife, which for many is a good enough reason to pay the premium frankly, unless you think this is about comparing means of running Windows, which is another matter altogether...

@Shakje

You may also want to consider this that running a 17" display on an 8400 at 1440x900 will likely give you worse performance than a 9400 running at 1280x800. If you're in the market for a big screen, you'd want a better graphics card anyway unless your doing non-graphically intensive stuff, in which case why bother why that size anyway?

Migration Assistant now works over Ethernet

See this:

Query whether the speeds will be any good though...

Hackers hit back at iPhone update

Wrong analogy

"If I "modified" my car in any way and took it to the dealer, they would be obliged to service it regardless. Sure I might void my warrantee, fair enough, but they would *NOT* be entitled to take a knife to the tyres and tell me it's my own fault for voiding the warrantee!"

No, that's also a poor analogy. I believe the correct analogy is this: you take a screwdriver and soldering iron to your car and replace the ECU, engine, alternator, on-board computer and replace them with your own. Not only do your void your warranty but the garage won't even service it because the components are not made by the manufacturer. If they were to service it, they might damage your car, causing criminal damage.

Euro iPhone launch will reveal 3G handset for Vodafone, T-Mobile

Hmmm...

While the content seems credible enough (i.e. not wildly off-base), the timing would be daft to say the least.

Somehow I don't think Apple/AT&T are expecting sales to begin and then end over this weekend. Announcing a 3G version for Europe during what is effectively the US launch doesn't seem right to me.

No doubt Apple will launch a 3G iPhone for Europe (it would be foolish for it to do otherwise), but I suspect the announcements will come in time to obtain the necessary regulatory clerances.

Apple buyout rumours circulate as iPhone launch nears

So funny

Aaaah, Webster you're so cute with your 419-style rantings - you have such a lovely way with words! We have a janitor in our office who talks just like you and has a neat sideline in flogging "legitimately sourced" Nokias to Nigeria. You wouldn't be him by any chance? You certainly express yourself in the same way he does. A cold towel sesh becons for you my friend, or perhaps enrolling into your local infant school...

Anyway, back on topic, bit of a snooze story this.

Apple toughens iPhone screen, boosts battery life

Webster blah blah

Like much of Webster's serial trolling on this website, his comments are so wide of the mark it's funny.

Dude, the product isn't out yet. Quit imposing your Apple hate on others and run home to mummy for some clearly-needed TLC.

Weirdo.
