Which high performance Intel servers again?
It looks like the RebelEFI instructions all over again but I'll give it a try. I managed to get an Apple logo on my P55 machine last year before it rebooted. I'll see what the spare P45 system has to say.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Announces New 13.3-Inch and 11.6-Inch MacBook Air Models with Flash Storage

Downscaling 1080p will look better than upscaling 480 or 720 source.
You mean "no and no", of course. SDHC has a max of 32 GiB. You have to have SDXC for 64 GiB and higher.
I carry a couple of spare 32 GB SDHC cards on trips - and duplicate all the files across two different cards. One card in my carryon, one in the checked baggage (and another copy in the 2565 GB SSD in the Latitude).
I'd have to lose my luggage, my carryon, and my laptop to lose the pictures....
Just paranoid.
I am curious about this too...I wonder if they'll add it in then since they'll have a lot more people with stock SSDs/flash storage?
Newer intel servers usually use the ATi ES1000(?), but a little while ago some servers had a GMA variant.
I had no idea Intel still made 1.4Ghz CPUs. I had a PC with a 1.4Ghz CPU back in 2001 I think
The clock speed is the last thing one looks at when measuring performance of a CPU

My mother died of pancreatic cancer; I know what terminal cancer looks like, and it looks like Steve Jobs does now.
I was shocked at how physically weak he looks and sounds, how diminished his personal energy was, and how he fumbled portions of his presentation, which is very unlike him. The parade of Apple employees presenting was obviously intended to take some of the burden off of him and to get the audience used to seeing other people as the face of Apple.
Steve clearly wants to keep Apple moving forward personally as long as he possibly can. I desperately wish him all the best, but I think the prognosis is not at all good.
Looking at both of your heartfelt comments on Steve's appearance and performance today, I decided to look at his earlier presentations this year starting with the iPhone 4 event in April which is six months ago. To my eyes and ears I could not detect any difference, even a subtle difference in his appearance or strength of delivery. However I am not a doctor and my personal observation is therefore untrained. I sure hope he can continue to be actively involved as he has been this year for at least several more years. It's good to see him so engaged and apparently loving every minute of it.

So does this imply future versions of OS X will be on USB flash drives? Or have the option to purchase OS X on either a DVD or a flash drive when lion comes?
It seems likely because Apple is pushing for drive less laptops to be the norm, especially with the Mac app store on the horizon.
Seems like a step back to give the impression of no need of a Mac with a drive to reinstall OS X, but when upgrades come out, you need a Mac with a drive to install lion.
I would prefer this anyway because to install OS X from a flash drive, I would bet it be way faster than the DVD, as long as they are decent flash drives.

AFAIK, Rage was mainly used on Opetron boards. (Still is, especially in the entry grade server space)
Its a shame server aren't coming with IGP's like the GMA500, 320M or HD4200. It *could* be used to help VM clusters by helping accelerate graphics and take load away from the CPU. (Though VDI helps solve that, but usually on non-thin clients)
I have a few old Xeon systems with Rage XL on the board with VGA out.
Apple is on the road to nowhere unless it's filling their coffers. We'll probably be seeing AMD next year since nVidia can't provide beyond Core 2. I'm still struggling to get buy an iPod Touch right now.
I agree with your assessment 100%. Steve Jobs has refined the art of marketing to the highest level I've seen in a major corporation. It's all about the money. I got a sense of that, when they dropped the word "Computer" from the name of the company. It was the beginning of the end of Apple's computers as we knew them. Embracing music, videos along with a stroke of genius when creating the extreme cash cow called iTunes, it's now just a money machine.
The spin put out, and the way they are so deceptive and secretive bodes well for their laser like focus on profits. Oh sure, making money is what corporations are supposed to do, but the amount of money Apple makes is obscene. Then we have Jobs, who is still whining about Android and anything that even resembles competition, showing that his paranoia overwhelms him nearly 24/7.
I have a very old opteron system with an original Rage in it. Doesn't work, a capacitor blew can't be stuffed fixing such an old system. I can't even read the Farad value on it anyway.
Bulldozer and Fusion looks like it has some strong design philosophies. I remember reading on Tom's hardware (I think it was toms anyway) that the GPU part will accelerate double precision floating operations.
I'm waiting keenly for the Mini-ITX possibilities of Fusion CPUs. A very capable, affordable business computer at the size of a thin client.
It will finally be an improvement over the archaic Core 2 Duo Apple loves to market as fast. Any poor fool with a few drivers can install a SSD in a 2-3 year old machine to get the speed goodies.
Zacate is the Atom fighter and Llano is too much for a low voltage machine. Apple's obsessions are limiting our choices unless we just happen to fall into their marketing focus group category of brain dead users with open wallets and a fetish for shiny things.
Masochism isn't why I bought a Mac and everything that made the Mac valuable to me is becoming rather irrelevant short of some paltry metadata.
At least the warranty was worth it to bum a lot of almost needless repairs out of them. I have to win somehow. I've had my top case replaced 4 times now. I love the new keyboards.
Oi, one of the reasons why I went Mac is because most All-In-Ones look ugly (non-shiny), I hate laptops and I'm extremely OCD about Cables. My Associate wonders how the hell can I be a systems Admin with such a hate for cables.
I would have wireless Speakers and Headphones too if they all didn't suck.
What the hell does a server have to do with a consumer product in the first place? Your comparing apples to bananas
A server is a pro product. You were comparing the GPU between a pro product and a non-pro product.
Mac app store is a bag of hurt.
New MBA in 11.6" is awesome for an everyday uni laptop. Makes a perfect companion to an iMac as a home machine, which I might get next and do away with my MBP.
I think removing the retarded port door warrants me buying one on that fact alone.
Now I just need to find a good way of managing 2 macs and I'm off to the Apple store...

Google "ChronoSync"
A server is an enterprise product. A "pro" notebook is a consumer product, a netbook is a consumer product. Whatever, I'm done explaining what I was originally trying to say.
Are you sure you want to make a statement like that?

There are server products ranging from consumer grade to enterprise level to personal supercomputer.
last line of macbook airs overheating...
I wonder how hot these little babies get after watching any video for about 5 to 10 minutes. With all the overheating problems of the LAST line of macbook airs.

Personally I think DropBox is the best. It provides 2gb free online. This allows you to access your files anywhere, anytime. It adds a small app on your mac that runs in the background that automatically syncs the instant the file changes, like time machine, but over the net.
Plus, they have iphone/ipod, ipad, android apps and soon it will be built into palm devices. Pretty accessible.
Apple Make the Macbook Air something everybody wants . This is what you should of said
11 inch 799 t0 899
13 inch 999 to 1099
even than it still an overprice netbook with great a body construction and operating system.
