Stop posting entire news threads in this comment box. I am sure Anand is keeping track of all this stuff and I highly doubt that he will go through this news thread. I guess there is a difference between Windows users and Mac users. We never put anything that seems to be a good news from Microsoft. You need to stop.
Looks like Steve Jobs and Apple are really pushing the technology envelope From MacOSRumors Sunday, March 21 Afternoon
Emphasis on advanced cooling technologies at Apple: "Not just quieter, but faster. A lot faster." Although some of the details will be under embargo for the foreseeable future, a series of very interesting reports out of Cupertino have come in that have us pretty excited about what cooling technology research is going to do for the Mac over the next few years.
These reports have lead us to believe that in staying well ahead of the curve regarding cooling technologies will reap benefits not just in quiet operation and the ability to shoehorn incredible performance into portables (the Powerbook G5)....
....but also in terms of how much performance can be wrought from the IBM PowerPC platform. The current generation of "well-ventilated" Macs will soon give way to a largely liquid-cooled lineup. These will be silent or very nearly so, and from what we're hearing, will be the first to run at significantly higher clock rates than passively or fan-cooled systems because of the efficiency of that liquid cooling technology. The changeover to liquid cooling might allow for the very same PowerPC 975 chip to run 200-300MHz faster than might be acceptable with the cooling technology used in current-model PowerMacs. The really big benefits would come in 2005 and 2006, when Apple's long-term research projects into this area begin to bear fruit. Beyond more traditional liquid cooling techniques, Apple is looking to combine innovative industrial design (lots of passive ventilation) with ultra-low-temperature gas, nanotechnology, modern materials, and just about anything else that will allow them to get CPU operating temperatures down to levels where there are potentially huge performance benefits over room-temperature operation.
Further down the road, Apple is rumored to be working hand-in-hand with IBM to design future POWER-derived processors that take into account the possibility of such cooling and can take advantage of the benefits, running at greatly increased clock rates, without actually engaging in "overclocking" but rather staying inside an adjusted, official clock speed rating for operation in sub-zero temperature environments like that provided by the cooling systems Apple is working to develop.
#31, I could give a fark if you don't think personal flames are "welcome", this isn't your web site, lol. And it's a pretty cogent argument, but apparently you just fail to understand that my point from the beginning has been that Anand's blogs aren't supposed to be daily, so those complaining need to seriously go find something else to do. True, I'm wasting time telling idiots like yourself that, but then again you are also participating in this thread. LOL
#32,
Yeah, you caught my frustration has boiled over and I'm contemplating suicide.

#38, haha, you idiot, take your own advice; where did I say ANYONE was claiming Anand's blogs were daily? Dork. Reading is your friend.Anonymous - Sunday, March 21, 2004 - link
MacOSRumors is a complete waste of time. They're the Weekly World News of computing news, except WWN is funny.Anonymous - Sunday, March 21, 2004 - link

#33: NOBODY said his blogs were supposed to be daily...did they?...what word will you find on thesaurus.com in your next lame retort?
