It's not just Rosetta. Office on my G4 opens in about half the time it used to on previous versions of 10.4
First open takes about 4 bounces to the Project Gallery, subsequent openings are maybe 2 bounces. Much quicker than before.

It's good that you apologized before giving us all this misinformation!
Apple in fact offers some of the CHEAPEST rackmount servers. That's why they were used for the Virginia Tech cluster remember!!
Go to Dell's page, I just customized one of their PowerEdge 2950's to be EXACTLY the same as the Xserve (except for the OS) and here's the diff:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
$6,749.00
Dual Core Intel� Xeon�, 4MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 1333MHz FSB
Operating System Windows Server� 2003 R2, Standard x64 Edition,Includes 5 CALs
Additional Processor
Dual Core Intel� Xeon� 5160, 4MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 1333MHZ FSB
Memory
1GB 533MHz (4x256MB), Single Ranked DIMMs
Riser Card Riser with 3 PCIe Slots
Primary Hard Drive
80GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive
Primary Controller
PERC 5/i, x4 Backplane, Integrated Controller Card
Apple Xserve
$2,999.00
Two 64-bit 2.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors
1.33GHz frontside bus and 4MB shared L2 cache per processor
1GB memory (667MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM)
80GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive1
Built-in ATI Radeon X1300 graphics with 64MB RAM
Mac OS X Server 10.4 Unlimited-Client Edition
So go back to your mummy and cry! The Xserve is actually a better machine because I could not get 667Mhz DDR2 for the Dell! The Dell also has no graphics card!
So when you say 'Dells'... be very specific!!!
Rackmount Dells with Woodcrest Xeons (just like the Xserve) are a LOT more expensive than just some Dell server that is apparently 1/5 of the price of the Xserve.
you tell em! ;)

PowerMac G5's are awesome but they are also getting old, so unless you REALLY need to save the money, get a Mac Mini.
NO you can't upgrade the graphics card in it and no you can't have 3 hard drives and all that stuff. However, the new Mini will still be much better for just about anything you'd want to do with that G5.
As much as I love them, they are old, and, they are really showing their age.

I don't remember any new hardware in November, let alone December. (Please speak up and correct me, what was the most recent Apple hardware both announced and released Nov.1 - Dec. 31)
Since no one answered, I decided to look it up at
http://www.apple-history.com/
In Apple's entire history, they have "Introduced" 4 pieces of hardware in November:
November 1997
Newton Message Pad 2100 (Terminated by Steve Jobs 3 months later!)
Power Macintosh G3
PowerBook G3
November 2002
PowerBook G4 (1 GHz/867 MHz)
As far as I can tell, nothing released in December. Ever.
If we see an iPod video after Dec. 1, no way did Apple plan it that way. Could it be that the reports from thinksecret reflect the uncertainty within Apple itself?

I've always though engraving was kind of intriguing, but I generally don't keep my iPods (of various makes/models) for very long. I end up selling them and then getting a newer version eventually (usually skipping a generation before considering the next.) It seems like engraving would be profit prohibitive when trying to resell an iPod--at least the resale value might decrease as a result of a personalized engraving.
Of course, you could always simply hold that little bit of information to yourself, but hopefully the conservative Christian won't mind too much when he purchases a used iPod with the engraving "Hail Satan" stenciled on the back. :D
Engraving can be very neat. My wife got me a 4gig Nano for a wedding present a year ago with a personal quote and the wedding date engraved. The whole point is to get something that won't be resold but rather becomes something to hold onto... and that is a step towards building brand loyalty. Before meeting me my wife never touched a Mac or Apple product, but now because of the little extra touches Apple provides that set their designs above the rest she is gravitating towards Apple products. As someone once said, customer satisfation is meaningless, it's brand loyalty that matters.

Dell Precision T3500
Intel Xeon W3530 2.8GHz
3GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
256MB ATI FireMV 2260
1TB 7200rpm hard drive
Price: 1389$
Mac Pro
Intel Xeon W3530 2.8GHz
3GB 1066MHz DDR3 ECC
1GB ATI 5770
1TB 7200rpm hard drive
Price: 2499$
The ATI FireMV 2260 costs 120$ on Amazon so price wise it is similar to ATI 5770. You can add a lot beefier GPU and still save a fortune compared to Mac Pro.
Still a few differences. Have to factor in more things.
Mac Pro two network cards.
No bluetooth on Dell Precision T3500?
Seems the Dell Precision T3500 power supply is 525 watts where the Mac Pro
is 980Watts. As far as I could find.
Have to factor in Heavy duty aluminum case vs thin sheet metal & plastic. Mac Pro cases are not cheap.

I'm still not sure about a double res screen on iPad3
It's going to be hard to make the iPad3 have four times the pixels of the iPad1 or iPad2. AND be faster than the iPad2.

Can you explain why no ink, no paper, and no army of delivery guys would still cost the same as digital distribution? Even with Apple's 30% and the bandwidth cost of shipping thousands of 10mb magazines, it'd still work out cheaper for users and make a profit for the company.
It costs right around $1 per magazine to print, design and mail for very large circulations. Magazine not newspaper. Take out the printing and mailing and you're probably looking at about $.75 costs. Sell it for $.99 on the ITMS and Apple takes $.33 and they lose money. Magazines have very little wiggle room price wise.

In this particular case I was planning on using RAID 5, but the Mac would still need to be able to handle managing 32TB of data.
I am in the process of researching this device and several other mass-storage solutions. This very thread is actually a part of my research because crowd sourcing on a board like this is great for solving a complex IT problem.
Why exactly do you want to use the Quad Pack Rack? It features exchangeable quad drive boxes, which aren't useful unless you need to transfer them from one rack to another across different locations.
Check out the other Dulce (http://www.dulcesystems.com/html/products.html) systems instead.
If you configure a 16 drive unit as a RAID 5 (which I personally wouldn't to as you'd have only a single parity drive) the Mac would have to handle 30TB in case that you use 2TB drives.
Anyhow, practically there is no limitation to volume sizes in OS X. Well, in fact there is, about 8EB, but you most likely won't be able to go over this limit in the next 20 years. ;)
Edit: And now the most important recommendation:
If you want really good recommendations and background information, drop the user nanofrog a message. He's the storage expert in this forum.

This is what I want Mac OS X to have:
Say you have a Folder called "Folder A" and it has files "File A", "File B" and "File C" in it. Now imagine that you are copying another instance of "Folder A" that has files "File C", "File D" and File E".
I agree with you. Finder is a retard when it comes to file management and needs to be improved.

I personally have about 500 DVDs sitting in my office on the wall, and the only ones I or anyone else "re-watches" over and over again is animation films, such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, etc, because kids will sit and watch cartoons over and over again and not get sick of them. I will be happy if all they do is allow rental downloads, then I will cancel my membership with Blockbuster and their $20 a month fee. Here is my "wish list" for Apple on this Movie Store.
1) Open a movie section on itunes with at least 2K movies in content, ready to download and rent for $2.99 - $4.99 (have a fixed price, but no more then $4.99) to be viewed for unlimited times in 1 week. Instead of waiting for it to download completely, have it stream to the TV (through mac mini or new video airport express) with a good enough buffer that doesn't interrupt the movie. While you are watching it or not, continue to download to the HD so you can transfer it to an iPod to watch later or take to a friends house, on a plane, in the car, etc.
2) Movies must be better quality then current TV Shows!
3) Release the Widescreen Video iPod with 60GB and 120GB and better battery life and screen.
4) Release a Mac Mini the have Tivo capability, frontrow "style" movie store that you can access and rent movies from across the room, and a huge HD between 250GB � 500GB so you can import your current DVD collection. This would be my strategy if I was apple. And I know some people on here are screaming that they want to burn it to a disc, but simply ask yourself how many times have I watched the last movie I bought? Once! Maybe twice when you had to share your new found favorite movie with your friends or family. The movies you are going to want to buy, you will go to Wal-Mart and buy them for $15 each, then import them into the new mac mini!

Picked up a copy of this up on Amazon. They have a $20 gift card deal going on. Plus if you buy the Playstation 3 version (and sync your PSN and Steam IDs) you can download a free copy of the game for your PC or Mac. So that's about $35 for the game and a $20 gift card, plus free shipping (2 day shipping for Prime members) and no tax? That's a good deal in my book. :D
Anybody know if that is possible for Xbox? My guess would be no since it's Microsoft, but I'll look into anyway.

I am considering which version to buy. Is it better to run under Mac OS or Windows 7 via Bootcamp? My computer is MBP 2010 17".
No need to consider. Buy it on Mac, and you get it on Windows too. Buy it on Windows, get the Mac version too. All you need is the Steam app installed in each OS, from www.steampowered.com. The best part is that your save games auto sync between the two sides, using the built in SteamCloud service. You can flip back and forth all you want.

I think Apple wanted to avoid people dying of heatstroke waiting in the sun so they where going to release it in the winter. But they didn't think it would be good to see their customers giving them frozen bills. LOL
