Well technically... there was a Santa Claus. But he's dead now. Sorry kiddies. He died hundreds of years ago. "And you can find more information at your local library".
Anyway, we can all kind-of assume that EVENTUALLY Moto will release a 7470 or whatever, since they have a 74** series going. Unless of course they go under, or Apple goes to IBM, or they rename the series, or call the next chip the 7456, or what ever.
But calling the 1.25 GHz an overclocked 1 GHz before they even start selling them, is jumping the gun a bit. That's like calling the new 2.8 GHz P4 an overclocked P3 (wait, bad example). Everyone seems to be forgetting that the FSBs are actually 4 x 100 and 4 x 133 (DDR 100 and 133 for AMD). 167 w/ DDR333 is actually pretty cool. Even if it is bastardized.
Don't get me wrong. Apple IS competing against the world of WinTel, and they aren't doing so well in speed or price. I, for one, like it just as much when people have legitimate complaints as when they have a legitimate complement. If we just accept the way things are, they'll never get better. Macs are easier to use, more stable, etc, etc... but they're not as fast. And "Apple is a business" is not a good excuse. It just proves my point. So stop saying, "if you don't like it go buy a PC".
Cuz they will. Duh.
If the new Dual 1.25s are as fast as a ~2 GHz x86, I'd be happy. Have you ever tried to edit video on a PC? Zero to Crash in 60 sec. If the iBook can do some basic stuff like typing letters and surfin' the net, and it's pretty affordable (and light, and sturdy, and has a long battery life), I'm happy. Benchmarks, shmenchmarks, it's real world performance that counts.
When I feel like Apple's acting like M$ (yeah, that's right, I said it), and a >$1000 PC can whip the *** of the $3000+ "Top-of-the-Line" Mac, I'm not happy.
And believe me, yer gonna hear about it.
Now where are the darn 7500 G5s we were promised (please note sarcasm).

A lot of their supply chain comes from Japan. And Japan is the third largest economy and makes up 6% of Apple's revenues. With the delay of the iPad their, Japan has taken a small negative hit on Apple's stock. I believe it was down about 330. However it looks like good long-term buying opportunities for Apple's stock, even if it goes down a little more in the next few days/weeks.
Im personally looking to buy into Apple stock and Qualcomm.

@MacUser2525,
Thank you much for the correction and source. I'm not sure if any of our hereos that survived WWI are left alive. It would be a sad day for this world should any nation's citizens forget to remember the ultimate unselfish sacrifices that where made.
I agree with you there, according to wiki.answers.com among other hits I got when searching there is one among a very short list of others from different countries.

Here is how to get it working without Java crap.

Just run Safari 4.05 :)
Works like it did b4.
Not sure about remote access to a lion host as I have not tested that.

Well, in my experience, dual-layer burning can be fickle business, with a higher fail rate than CD and single-layer burning, so I wouldn't say right off the bat that it's a broken drive.
I had a similar issue a while back, and found that using a different brand of media fixed the issue right away, so I'd suggest you try the same. Incidentally, Verbatim was the brand I actually got to work, whereas Memorex and [brand which I forget] failed repeatedly. Unfortunately, given the relative cost of these sorts of disks, experimentation isn't too cheap.

No, just quality. I bought one on eBay for a friend and it fried her iPod. But Monoprice makes great quality cables. And super cheap too.
Thanks for sharing the experience.

BTW, you do not need to backup the scratch disk, as it's temporary data.
Thank you for cleaning that up. It's what I suspected, but wasn't sure. Either way, I'll have the space on Disk 2 since I'll be using a spare 1TB HDD that I already have.
Budget...I want to stay at $3000 or less including the computer.
The Mac Pro refurb is $2300 inc. tax. RAM is going to cost $300 so that's $2600, leaving $400 for the hard drives.
I already have several 1TB disks, of which I will use one and I have one 2TB external I can use. That means I need to buy:
Two SSD drives
One 2TB internal HDD
One 3TB internal HDD
One 3TB external HDD
I'm thinking that will all cost more than $400 but I can go over a couple hundred if needed.

Ok...new thought...
SSD for boot drive.
RAID0 for scratch disk.
Regular HDD for storage.
RAID0 vs SSD for scratch disk...I'm reading that SSD isn't all that great for scratch disks because the write speed isn't all that great and sometimes actually slower than a traditional disk, especially with small file changes. Plus, a 128GB SSd is around $250 whereas i already have a couple SATA drives I could use for RAID0.
So, are there any down sides to using RAID0 strictly as a scratch drive?
RAID0 is fine for scratch, but you're wrong about SSDs being slower than mechanical discs for writes. Especially for small file changes, SSDs beat the crap out of mechanical drives (pardon my french ;)).
However, it depends on what SSD you chose. There are indeed some SSDs that are not as fast as advertised (Sandforce controlled drives). Still faster than mechanical drives, though. Good SSDs write with up to 300MB/s, compared to mechanical discs with 145MB/s.
But yes, if you want to save money, a RAID0 from mechanical drives is fine for scratch. Just make sure it's backed up.

How many Intel Macs in public release? None.
How many PPC Macs installed across the globe. Millions.
Do you honestly think that software suppliers are going to ignore that market?
By the time PPC software is obsolete, your new G5 will be too.

That's pretty impressive. Apple can actually have 20 gazillion phones put into production before they've even picked someone to design the "applications processor". This is how far sighted a company they are, most people have to design things before they build them, but Apple, you see, has vision, and with vision, well, anything can happen.
Word has it that they actually shipped the first Macintosh 128k twenty years before the 68000 was designed.
Just because we're hearing about portal player making the chips Now doesn't mean that they were just selected now. Who's to say they picked PP to make the chips before the phones were put into production? The sequence of rumors released doesn't indicate the sequence of events apple is taking.
