Has Steve Jobs lost his mind? Or is he crazy like a fox?
Gil Amelio has been out of Apple for less
than a month as I write this in early August,
and already Steve Jobs has inked a deal with
Microsoft, changed the board of directors,
caused a near panic over clone licensing, and
engendered both hate and love among Mac
addicts, Is the man nuts? Or is this the invigo-
tation that Apple needs?
Certainly some of Jobs’ changes are
glaringly obvious good moves. Apple’s
board has been nearly invisible for
some time now. This new board will be
anything but invisible. There’s the
strange but charismatic and powerful
larry Ellison, chairman and CEO of
Oracle; the tough turnaround artists
4 Jerry York (former CEO of IBM and
Chrysler) and Ed Woolard (chairman and
former GEO of E. I. du Pont de
Nemours); the Asia expert
Gareth Chang (president of
Hughes International); Jobs
himself; and my favorite
appointee, Bill Campbell (pres-
ident and CEO of Intuit). The
outgoing, blunt Campbell for-
merly was the head of Claris
and also head of Apple’s mar-
keting (back in the days of the
“1984” commercial), plus he
has a wild prankster’s sense of humor, a good
idea of what the customer (us) wants, and
three Macs at home.
Other changes are a muddle at the
moment, In early August, rumors were ram-
pant that Apple was going to stop granting
licenses to clone vendors. Publicly, Apple
made it sound like the company wouldn’t kill
off the clones but would restructure licensing
deals so that Apple could make more money.
Privately, Jobs was telling clone vendors that
he simply didn’t want them to exist, much less
thrive, and compete with Apple.
‘The issue of cloning has always been a
tough, controversial one. Jobs may be right to
think that clones can only cannibalize—not
expand—apple sales, But we think it would
be awfully sad to look back 10 years from

there’s the biggest conundrum of them all— ‘As for the investment, the deal is that
what the heck was Jobs thinking in cutting a Microsoft will buy stock at an average of the
deal with Microsoft? There are five parts to the _stock’s price in the week or two preceding the
agreement: 1) Apple and Microsoft both have announcement—a time when the stock was
free access to each other’s patents, both those hovering around 16. The key thing to note is
already granted and any that may be granted that Microsoft's shares will be nonvoting

It’s the last two items—
making Internet Explorer the
default browser and working
with Microsoft on Java compati-

positive side, Apple is free to
ship other browsers on the
Mac, and users can easily pick a
different one. As for the Java

lawsuit right now. Something had to be done
to prevent this. Still, wouldn’t a lawsuit be
better than giving away Apple’s crown jewels?
Well, sure, but the patent sharing does not
mean necessarily that Apple is giving away
its most precious assets. Patents are not
the same as technologies. For example,
QuickTime does not fall under the patent
agreement. Even if it did, Microsoft wouldn’t
have rights to the source code,
just that. Don’t get me wrong. I think it would
be a mistake for Apple to try to control Java. It
has its hands full with the Mac OS, Rhapsody,
and the Mac itself. I just don’t like the thought
of Apple helping Microsoft with a new “OS.”
Is Jobs insane for making these decisions?
Its not clear at the moment, but as he said in
August, “Sometimes in craziness lies genius.”
Let’s hope Jobs’ brand of craziness contains a
big streak of genius. —Cheryl England

to, I was wearing a suit, sitting in a cubicle
wilh flickering fluorescent lights overhead,
some geek PC freak was sitting in the cubicle
beside me, typing command lines and reboot-
ing like mad, sweating like a pig in the sun
(some kind of PC geek aerobics maybe?), and
worst of all (more dramatic music,) I WAS
CHAINED TO A FRIGGIN’ PCt!!!!!!!!
The geek stopped his futile PC exercise
long enough to tell me that 1 was now a

Godzilla theater on Sunday mornings with
those boring political debate shows, and
introduced the PC to the world. Their
leader was none other than (dramatic
music here) Bill Gates. Surprise, surprise.
The geek said that the reason I was here
is that some of Bill’s spies had noticed that
I was having too much fun, and after sev-
eral failed attempts at shutting me up (good
thing I have a strong head), they decided to
simply capture me and torture me by hay-

too well made, and they popped like rubber

really I do...don’t laugh...) and tore the
tie off my neck. (Heroic music here.)

Hi, guys. I just watched the streamed video
for a few seconds and saw people who
seemed to be eating something and a guy
either tie his shoe or have a heart attack—I
couldn't tell which. Maybe you should stick a
sign up somewhere within camera range that
says, “We're all OK,” and have “Call 911” on
its reverse, just in case. This is the first Web

Whea I first read about that little Quickcam
that was set up at MacAddict, 1 thought,
“Wow! Now I can see ’em in action!” So I
immediately went to The Disc and ran the
little Java applet, and there you guys were!
“This is great,” \ thought! And when I finally
got control (after about 2.5 hours), I
attempted to send a short Morse code mes-
sage (by shaking the QuickCam back and
forth) that went something like this: “Help!
Help! I’m a bug trapped in your hard
drive!” It took me about half an hour to put
out, yetno one noticed... I guess you were
all too busy (for example, sitting around
drinking coffee) to look over, I wasted a
whole afternoon on it, too. Sigh.... —THE

the Mac-compatible vendors intro-
duced their fall lineups at Macworld in early
August, and they obviously felt the need for’

cache speed is limited to the speed of that system

To get found this fs speed limitation, both

cache in their new machines. An inline cache
controller acts as a traffic cop. It sits on the
processor card between the CPU and the system
bus (see diagram below). As data flows, if it's
for anything but cache, it goes over the system
bus at the regular speed, But if the data is head-
ing for the cache card, the new controller can
send it at twice the system bus speed because it
doesn’t have to go over the system bus.

For the moment, Apple is reserving inline
cache for its new Mach 5-based 9600s and
8600s, which use processors running from 250
to 350MHz, The Mach 5 is a 604e chip (second-
generation) that uses a G3 (third-generation)
manufacturing process to make the processor
smaller, cooler, and faster than previous 604e
chips, The 8600 and 9600 series will have a sys-
tem bus of 50MHz, enabling the L2 cache to
transfer info at 100MHz. UMAX is
using the technology in its lower-

are being used in shipping products, In addition
to the G3 manufacturing process mentioned
above (making them smaller, cooler, and
faster), these new chips have an extra controller
built in to handle cache. This controller enables
12 cache to run at the same speed as the proces-
sor because it sits on the “back” side of the
processor and doesn’t even have to think about
the system bus speed (see diagram above). The
first Arthur-based machines will have processor
speeds of 250 and 275MHz, enabling L2 cache
to also run at 250 and 275MHz. Both Power
Computing and Motorola will release Mac com-
patibles with backside cache—Power Comput-
ing at the end of August and Motorola sometime
in September. Motorola also expects to ship 2

ber, and Apple plans to ship a 750-based
machine this year, too. Cache that’s as fast as the
CPU will be very expensive, as will the brand-new
PowerPC 750 chips. Machines using this archi-
tecture may well end up performing better than
the faster-clocked Mach 5 machines, but they'll
cost an arm, a leg, and a torso. —KT’

remya is a word meaning time in Russian.
Vremya the software, not surprisingly, sets
your Mac’s System clock. It works by calling up
a Network Time Protocol server (if the default
server Vremya picks upon launch doesn’t work,
the documentation will point you to an URL of a
list of servers), checking your clock against the
server's, and setting your Mac’s aright. It’s that
simple, Vremya was meant to work only under
MacTCP, but we tested it with OpenTransport,
even behind a firewall, and it seemed to cope
just fine.
You also can keep Vremya running while
your Mac is up and tell it to correct your clock
against the server's at an interval of your choice.
One caveat: Vremya won’t correct for daylight-
saving time, so make sure you've got that cor-
rectly set in your own System's Date and Time
control panel. We didn’t, and Vremya corrected
our Mac’s clock by 3,625 seconds.

Ww back in the pioneer days of Web develop-
ment, when the only way to work HTML was
hand coding in Simple Text or BBEdit, there
came onto the scene a new breed of graphic.
Seems you could set one color in your GIF
image as transparent so that it would automati-
cally take the color of the Web page’s back-
ground. It's something we take for granted in
this day of WYSIWYG Web editors, but back
then, sonny, that was something to talk about.
Problem was, there was no easy way to take
advantage of this feature. Until Transparency
rode into town, that is. Aaron Giles’ Web utility
‘Transparency makes it child’s play. Simply drag
and drop your GIF file onto the Transparency
icon, or Open the file from within Transparency,
and click and hold the cursor on whatever color
you want to make transparent. Up pops a litle
palette of the GIF's color table. You can select a
different color, None, or simply release the
mouse. After you make your choice and let go,
the utility redraws your file against a gray back-
ground (Web pages used to use gray, see) to
show you what the image will look like. If you
like what you see, go to Save as GIF89a... in the
File menu, and you’re done.
REQUIREMENTS: Color-capable Mac, System 7 or later
HOW TO USE: Open the GIF to be made transparent, click
and hold on the color to be transparent, and select a color
from the GIF's color table,
