here's the direct digg links to the first two articles... http://digg.com/design/Amazing_retail_spaces_in_streetwear http://digg.com/arts_culture/TERRY_RICHARDSON_FOR_SISLEY_NSFW dope thing is you can actually see who dugg the article. anyhow, i figure this adds an extra dimension to things and really helps the site out in much the same way as the Alexa help i asked for.

sure, feel free to digg anything you're feeling. Many thanks to those that have dugg. maybe someone should post links to the digg entry to make this easier? I'm on an iPhone so it'll take me 30 minutes or I'd do it myself.

thanks

come on guys... let's see some activism. time to start making noise!

hoping I cant count on the Channel Zero Crew to digg these stories for me. There's a link below each entry to 'Digg' it and so far it doesn't seem like its being used much. anyhow, i really want to see how this effects traffic, so please help a brother out... story 1: TERRY RICHARDSON FOR SISLEY story 2: AMAZING SPACES

read this... SHOW SUPPORT AND BUY ARIZONA i need you guys to coordinate and spread this message as far as you can. i'll leave it to the regular team leaders to coordinate a strategy, but let's get together and drown out the Vallone's rhetoric by spreading the message as far and wide as you can. also start bombarding any Arizona emails with messages of support at azbev@fuse.net and info@drinkarizona.com, or call them and leave them some praise on the company VM at 1-800-832-3775. and if you live in NYC or a market stocking the 'All City' drinks, spend a few bucks and buy the cans. looking forward to see you guys make dents...

i agree with this for the most part. though i could see the dynamic range possibly being narrowed by hardware (especially headphones), i have a tough time believing that there's much difference in the sound between mp3 players when playing the same sound file. i think it has more to do with the EQ settings if so, and this is adjustable.

Re: Great Pictures~ (sorry last one was more funny then great)

Re: Great Pictures~

sickest shit i've seen in a minute...

in that case you might see a difference. i dont remember if it was a hardware or software change that made most the bells and whistles get offloaded to the GPU. i'm going to assume it's done in software, but forgot.

I think this might be the oldest thread on 12oz... Jungle green? - 12-20-2000, 10:22 PM

for the first half of our history we used to actually delete old posts to clear up disc space so the first few years are gone forever. we also changed boards quite a few times and in the old days, there were no import scripts. however, if someone wants to research it and post a link to the oldest post on 12oz it might be interesting to see.

i'd like to see you spec them both out here for us to see, cause this claim seems suspect to me.

no doubt that apple holds it's value far better. kinda like a mercedes vs a toyota.

one of apple's biggest problems has been that they introduce technology ahead of it's time for mass market adoption. the newton flopped, but it ushered in the era of palm top devices. it took palm more then a decade to catch up to the functionality of the newton. it's just when newton dropped, the technology hadn't been miniaturized to that degree, and it took consumers a while to figure out what to make of it. that said, apple IS steve jobs, and the newton was john sculley's baby. steve jobs is far more intuitive in predicting what people want, and when they want it. iMac, iPod, iPhone have all been on cue, as has been the deading of the floppy, the integration of wifi, and the invention of firewire. though his record isn't perfect (apple III, lisa, and IMHO apple TV). i think revision B of the MacBook Air will be a must have since most the setbacks are either easily fixed, or an obvious upgrade... We also can’t help but think that a Penryn based MacBook Air would be far more desirable thanks to lower thermal output of Intel’s 45nm chips. If you are fine waiting, a MacBook Air in the second half of 2008 will give you slightly better performance, better battery life and should keep your lap a lot cooler.

what OS isn't a work in progress? an OS that no longer evolves is just a dead OS. the crown jewels of OS X is the GUI, not the core. that's why the underlying system is open sourced and the GUI isn't. Also, OS X is a Unix based system (Mainly FreeBSD with a Mach Kernel). Running a stripped down GUI wouldn't save you many CPU cycles since a good part of the eye candy is offloaded to the GPU. and fact is, you can run a stripped down GUI native on OS X anyways.

in fact the iMac was the turning point, OS X was the momentum. iPod was more the tipping point that made people finally accept the fact that they werent going anywhere but up. also, iPod are very significant to Apple's bottom line. they outsell their computers nearly 22:2, make them relevant, as well influential in the entertainment industry, and help convert more PC users via the halo effect.

i think they aren't as focused on the Pro line is because for the most part the hardware they have is pretty much as powerful as it needs to be. i rarely here people complain that their 4 or 8 core MacPro is taking too long to run a photoshop filter like you did back in the days. the changes at this point are incremental and not crucially neccessary anymore, which leaves them a lot of time to sort out the rest of the picture.

not sure i subscribe to this. MacBook Pro's run circles around just about any other laptop out there and the MacPro's are overkill for even 90% of the Pro's out there. no doubt that that you might be able to find something that'll do high-end rendering a bit faster, but short of that, there are few machines that can give them a run for the money. though i'm almost sure that iMac's probably account for the bulk of Mac sales, it's not like the pro lines aren't selling.

i saw an interesting documentary that discussed that between the super long engineering times required for cutting edge electronics, coupled with the fact that companies like apple and sony really are looking to push to new levels, that these companies in fact design new products based upon technology that doesn't in fact exist yet. they just assume that based on track records and precedents (a good example being Moore's law) that by the time the concept is developed, that the technology required to run or power it will have evolved to the point that it is now available or possible. in the case of the Macbook Air, i believe they were expecting that the 45nm intel chips would be out, but ultimately got pressured into redeveloping a custom 65nm chip to fit in it. they sacrificed some power to do this, particularly to contend with the heat issues that would have been solved by a true 45nm processor. these new processors are due later this year, so you can bet you'll see them in revision B of that product. another example of this is when they had to create a water cooled system to cool down the chips that ran in one of the latter revisions to the G5, and then did away with it when they switched to intel. on the flip side, you see shit like the iPhone that really couldn't have existed a year earlier and probably sat in the lab being slowly refined until the technology caught up. anyhow, i found it pretty amazing that they'd put so much effort and resource into developing products that weren't technically possible knowing that they'd slip in components along the way as they were 'invented'. cool stuff...
