How is this cost effective? Not to mention the extra hazardous trash that comes with it. Hopefully they will have a recycling program with it so that they can reuse the chips. It would make me not want to buy the magazine.

These bozos give all of us real Computer Technicians a bad name. The only reason this department was ever developed was to bring in large amounts of cash from people who know very little about the technical side of computers. This is criminal behavior.

For the love of God, please restore the previous color scheme. Or at least give us the option of a color scheme. The red on white makes my eyes hurt and want to puke after about 5 minutes. Also the prince of persia background ad is very annoying.

That is one funny ass reply, which I totally agree with. Take a look at the link below that has an article about the human speed. The average speed of an Olympiad is somewhere between 15-20mph. Oh and for your information, the world record speed of a human is right at 30mph. Jeesh.

I agree that the keyboard/mouse combo rules the day. However, this was one joystick that reigned supreme, even in FPS. It was called the Panther XL made by MadCats. This was especially a killer joystick when it was modded. The originals came with a giant trackball on the left side that was analog. Many people, including myself, stripped it and inserted an optical sensor and replace the trackball with one that was opaque and then look out. I could run circles around people with kb/m and not even have to pick up a mouse to retrack. The only bad thing about this Joystick was that MadCatz discontinued support for it and they eventually, like everything else, get to a point where they were unrepairable. In fact though, there was one clan/guild or group of gamers that was formed specifically in jest of the joystick. It was called Clan Assasin 3d. They still have a site up and continue to mod Panther Xl's. check them out at www.clana3d.org.

I believe that the real reason for this article was to drum up debate on another company building mac computers. I think it's great to see another company build what was extremely exclusive to Apple. It forces competition and brings prices down. The one thing that has irritated me about Apple in the past years, is it's strangle hold on its own computers. I know that this practice stems back many many years between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, but they should release some patents so that other vendors can build macs at a reasonable cost. In any attempt, they would see their numbers rise, whether or not you think Apple or OS X is any good.

First things first. Everyone needs to remember what "PC" really stands for. Personal computer. In that very definition, any computing device that doesnt take up the space of a garage can be considered a PC. People also need to keep this era in perspective with technology. Society and computing have gone through and will continue to go through emense and radical changes. We can all sit here and debate the "who's better" rationale all day long, but it serves no purpose. People come to this site and magazine to see the latest revelation in computing, period. Also keep in mind that Maximum PC reports on all companies in the technology business who build components as well. Apple not only builds "mac", but they make other products as well, including software. I personally am not a Mac fan, however, you have to give Apple some credit where credit is due. Even if you dont like Apple, they push inovation and competition. The same can be said for Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, ATI, AMD, Creative, etc, etc, ad naseum.  

It also might be prudent for some people who decide to post here on Maximum PC, to take the time and read your own post before you hit the submit button. The grammar and spelling is just appauling, even from a computer geek's standards.

Actually, this is important. Think about their communication radios, mobile radar and other high tech battle gear that they use. This goes a long way to limit the weight of the batteries while providing a longer charge. It not like they are using this technology to power their ipods on the battlefield.
