Fastest Mac Ever…
There you go Apple fans. The fastest Apple Mac computer. An 8 core Xeon processors Mac Pro that performs twice as fast as it’s predecessor. The standard configuration starts at £1,749. Not bad really being an Apple computer, and with 8 processors. I think this is the right time to buy Apple shares. Expect their shares to rise. It’s also the right time to sell the shares and buy the new computer :). I am just thinking this is the best thing for small home indexing apps.
What I don’t understand however is this part of the news story “Apple took down their on-line store a few hours ago to apply the updates for the newly announcedXserve (1U rack-mount server) and to introduce the 8 core Mac Pro range….”. Apple website has never appealed to me. It’s always slow, and I don’t really understand why it has to go down everytime they launch a new product. It happened when the new iPods were released, and even after it was released, I literally failed to place the order online because of how slow their site is. If it’s heavy traffic to blame, it means you are making a hell lot of money, so put some more into your online store which is just not able to take all orders. I ended up buying the iPod from Amazon.com, which ofcourse takes percentage of the sale. So it is costing them money eventually.

3baid: It must be like heaven on this planet :)
I REALLY REALLY WANT IT. Not because it’s Apple, but because of the specs and price.
MacaholiQ8: Doesn’t get much better really. But for that, you gotta have some real heavy app to get it not only some browsing.
Dude, screw the heavy apps, this is a 10-year plan machine; you’d never have to change it!
And now that MacBook Air has SSD, I’ll postpone and save even more till they make them available to be slotted in that 8-core Mac Pro. If I got that precise one I’d call it Archanfel! xD
Yeah, everytime I try to contact apple because my iPod’s busted I get a big ol’ “Sorry, website is down for a few minutes” (few minutes = 3 days).
MacaholiQ8: If there is something I learned in technology, it’s that nothing lasts for 10 years :) 4 years down the line, you would want the 2 tera byte SSD and more ;)
Kroms: WOW… was it really 3 days? :) That’s lame

everytime I sent it doesn’t work :(
Yeah, the slowness is from the traffic. You’ll also notice that the product pages don’t load properly until several hours later when the hype is gone. Apple gets a lot of attention, but that doesn’t always result in many sales.
On another note: I wonder what it’s like to own a machine capable of holding 32 GB of RAM :|
