17″ Macbook Pro Launched

macbookpro17

Apple released the 17″ Macbook Pro today.It is priced at $2,799. The 17″ MacBook Pro measures 15.4″ x 10.4″ x 1″ and weighs in at 6.8 pounds. This beast comes with a 2.16 Ghz Core Duo processor, 1 GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM, 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 and a new 8x dual-layer SuperDrive. However, the funny thing is that a similarly configured Macbook Pro 15″ costs $100 more than the 17″ model. Very curious pricing I should say.

Apple Powermac G5

I managed to get hold of a Powermac G5 today. If I could describe this piece of art in one word, it would be…elegance. The smooth simplistic design is something which PC makers should strive for. This baby has no tangled wires, and every single component just slides into place. However, there was one minor aggravation…it sounds like an aircraft engine when the CPU is loaded! Although..I have to admit..it looks cool to see the dual fans at the front kick-in.

Wonder what Apple’s Plans are for the Powermac Intel? If they do get an Intel into the PowerMac, it will be interesting to see how the internal design looks compared to the other PC vendors. The only PC vendor who comes close in internal case design is Alienware IMHO.

The Lost Gospel Of Judas

Judas

Unlike the four gospels in the Bible, this text indicates that Judas betrayed Jesus at Jesus’ request. Although, there’s a huge debate with respect to the credibility of this claim.

However, the catholic news service has a very contrasting view on the findings. Link

Apple takes the plunge

XP and Mac

Today, Apple has released software allowing users to boot Windows on the latest Macs. It’s released as a beta called “Boot Camp”. This allows the user to create a new partition with XP on it. However, it’s a trial version that works for a limited time. It will be included in the next Mac OS X Version 10.5 (Leopard), later this year. This is going to start a debate as to whether its a good marketing move by Apple.

I came across this disclaimer from Apple. I like the dig Apple has taken at Microsoft ;)

Word to the Wise

Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.

World Jump Day

This has got to be the most weird idea ever! They plan to get 600 million people to jump at the same time, to shift the earth into a different orbit and solve global warming. Time of impact: 20 July 2006 at 11:39:13 GMT

Teenager fined for using swear word

Cartman

A teenager in Kent was fined by a female police officer for using the F-word in a conversation he had with his friends. I wonder what Eric Cartman would have to say about this offense. “F**k f**k f**kity f**k”??
