The Bartender

A man enters a bar and orders a drink. The bar has a robot bartender.
The
robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and then asks him,

“What’s your IQ?”

The man replies “150” and the robot proceeds to make conversation about
global warming factors, Quantum physics and spirituality,
bio-mimicry,environmental interconnectedness, string theory,
nanotechnology, and sexual proclivities.

The customer is very impressed and thinks, “This is really cool.” He
decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and
comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the
perfectly prepared drink and asks?

“What’s your IQ?”

The man responds, “about 100.” Immediately the robot starts talking, but

this time, about NASCAR, super models, favorite fast foods, guns, and
women’s breasts.

Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot
one more test. He heads out and returns, the robot serves him and asks,

“What’s your IQ?”

The man replies, “Er, 50, I think.”

And the robot says… real slowly..”So…………… ya gonna vote for
Bush again?”

Apple BootCamp

As a funny side note, the BootCamp site has a silly disclaimer on the side: Word to the WiseWindows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC.That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world.So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.

After the major announcement last year that Apple was going to switch to Intel processors and the surprise announcement of the Intel iMac and MacBook Pro in January (six months ahead of schedule), Apple has done it again. Shortly after a few programmers were able to get BIOS emulation to work on the Mac, Apple released a new product BootCamp.

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply
irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac
OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system
on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta
today.

Obviously only compatible with the new Apple computers with Intel chips (MacBook Pro, iMac, MacMini), BootCamp not only allows users to setup and install Windows XP, it even burns a CD with the core drivers (Graphics, Networking, Audio, Airport Wireless, Bluetooth, The Eject Key, and Brightness Control) for Windows. This was the main problem with the hack-around method before as users were faced with unstable performance.

The real question now is, how well does it perform. Shortly after the announcement of BootCamp, I downloaded and installed Windows XP on my 20′ iMac with an Intel Core Duo processor running with 2 GB RAM. The install went very quickly and as I began to install applications (Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Macromedia Studio 8) I noticed that they were installing faster than on my PCs. I launched Adobe Photoshop and began working with some RAW images. I applied some filters and effects and the results were astounding. The performance completely blew my current PC setup out of the water! Illustrator and Flash gave similar results. The verdict? Not only does the iMac perform amazingly with OS X, it simply fies with Microsoft Windows.

As a funny side note, the BootCamp site has a silly disclaimer on the side:

Word to the Wise

🙂 Apple, you never cease to amaze me.


April Fools Day

Dissapointment from Apple –
After all the speculation that Apple was going to do something (i.e. announce a new product, have a aniverasry sale) for it’s 30th birthday, they did not. In the grand scheme of things though, I guess they do have until 1Pm EST (10AM PST) to make some sort of announcement, although prospects are looking dim now. Although some may say that Apple didn’t need to announce any new products or do anything special for their birthday, they really could have made a media day out it. Oh well, their loss I guess.
