Slashdot: Google Might Disappear in Five Years. ⇒
19 May 2005, early afternoon
Says Steve Balmer, Microsoft CEO. Just last week, Bill Gates was predicting the demise of the iPod. They're so funny.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
Yeah, and we will find WMDs in Iraq.
Cringely at his usual best.
I am buying a PowerBook this week. Got any advice for me? I can’t seem to decide between a 12” or a 15”.
Why now? I am trying to time it perfectly for the 2nd revision of the G5 PowerBook—my next potential purchase. Even I know that you stay away from any 1st gen Apple product.
I wish they still had the Titanium models. I like their looks more than the current crop.

If you planning on doing a lot of traveling with it, I’d recommend the 12” since it fits almost anywhere. But if you care about looks, I’d recommend the 15”, the wide screen is so much sexier.
I want a PowerBook so badly!! I think once I’m done school… nah, scratch that… Raaaammmmmm, you know what would make the greatest birthday present? :P

The 12-inch is a lot more portable, but I think the 15-inch screen is quite nice, and it has a few more features you won’t find on the 12-inch or the iBooks. The 12-inch models are tiny though, and quite portable.
If you don’t need to travel, the new iMacs are quite nice however. I want to get one.
And Shima, your birthday is right after you are done school, silly.

that’s true… but i could always stay in school longer, just so i can get a powerbook for my birthday! :P
and anyways, I think I’ve decided I’ll go to Oxford with my graduating class, so I won’t technically get my degree until after May! Problem solved, does that mean I get my powerbook?
Thanks Ram! :)

Thanks Shima and Ram. Yeah I like the new iMacs as well. But what I have in plan is to buy that Dell display and have the PowerBook drive it. I may consider the iMacs for my parents.
Its part of my plan to convert my household to Macs.
Shima you are right about the sexiness of the 15”. The best part is that it’s widescreen. Ah..tough choices. Hopefully you get your birthday wish!
