Apple worth more then Dell

In August 2005 I was thinking about purchasing Apple quotes: $43/45 was a good price for my wallett ;) . My Bank, instead, wants from me “things that I don’t have” (other moneys) to allow me to operate on the US market. Today is a good day but, if I had purchased some Apple quotes at that time, now I would be rich 😢 . The title? See at here for comparation between Apple and Dell on US market. ...

Altri piani per questo MacWorld?

Io credo proprio di NO! Su MelaBlog, ci sarebbe una “presunta” (dato che, ovviamente, la fonte non è citabile) intervista ad un manager di Apple: “Stasera ero al bar, quando ho incontrato un vecchio amico, che ha una posizione molto alta in Apple. Odio citare fonti anonime, ma fidatevi, lui conosce come stanno le cose. Mi ha detto che il KeyNote di Jobs non è andato come previsto. Parte della discussione è stata eliminata. Mancavano dei prodotti chiave. Secondo le mie fonti erano pronte “delle cose molto cool”, che Jobs non ha presentato per mancanza di forniture. “Non potevano avere un numero sufficiente di Core Duo”, mi hanno detto.

Play WinMediaFiles in QT

Microsoft, because of the STOP to development of Windows Media Player for MacOSX, make a page on our site where we can download a nice thing: a plugin for QuickTime aims to view Windows Media Files. Seems to be a good product: I will update you soon. The plugin is Flip4Mac. The company behind this piece of code is Telestream, that sell other plugins to import/edit WMF. I have a question: M$ is the richest company in the World and… needs third-part plugin to make our file-formats viewable on MacOSX? It’s a Joke? :| ( :lol: )
