I too tested the Quad at the local Apple store and was not impressed. It was basically a stock machine, but it had 4gb of ram. Simply said, it was not as fast as I expected. I w…

What is the point of this thread? I mean some kids with less than 10 posts complains that the top of the line G5 is not fast enough for him? Please, lets not waste our time.

I've also noted that most people, whether PC, Mac or Linux users are impatient and would be dissappointed with an 4 processor, 8-core Intel box. There is always going to be some…

Nothing important to add here except... Holy crap! Everyone just calm down and no one will get hurt! No one needs to take anything so PERSONALLY on these forums, even if someone…

As pointed out by this Slashdot article, Microsoft's Internet Explorer is officially dead on Mac. We all knew that Mac development for IE was long deceased, but in less than a mont…

You can always just change/enable the "User Agent" within Safari's Debug menu to work on "Internet Explorer only" sites...at least, it's worked for me when I've run across those si…

I'm glad it's even deader. Now they can take IE off the lab Macs at school and I won't have to see idiots using it even though Safari and Firefox are right there in the Dock.

firefox owns all, i think i used internet explorer once on mac and was like wow this sucks compared to safari and then realized that firefox was faster than both of them

I blame ActiveX. It's a cancer in web design.

It's good to have something to celebrate, and rather unlike MS to give people that, so I think we should all savour the moment .

I was sort of (Oh No) when I saw the message on the Mactopia webpage about I.E ending for the Mac platform but I have not used it in so long I can't remember. There are plenty of b…

This is bad news IMO. Although IE is a bad piece of software, it still works on banking sites and what not when nothing else will. I agree that developers won't change so all that'…

While Microsoft used to 'own' the browser market, its pretty clear they are nervous now, given the big inroads Firefox/Mozilla has had and the market gains the Mac has had. If MS …

It's irritating how Apple fully supports the Windows platform in terms of software. They could have at least made some Mac only features in iTunes but they made it all the same on …

meh... no biggie. Like someone earlier said, if MS had continued development of IE on the Mac, it would be eons ahead of safari. I only use Safari because when I started using iB…
