rleyton writes "The Independent has an interesting interview with Jonathan Ive, the designer of the new imac (and the iBook, the iPod and original iMac...)" It's actually a pretty interesting
even if you think the new iMac is repulsive. Personally I dig it.

I'd also like to learn more about that $99 wireless option for Wintel PCs. Are Linux drivers available?

Everything in the iMac except the screen, the OS, and the motherboard, is a conventional, PC useable component.

I played around with the same thing. The one problem I had was when I said" "Computer play classical music" (which would launch iTunes the desired playlist) that was the last command I could give it. Once it was playing music it would get confused by it's own audio output. I would think that would be a pretty easy thing to fix - just have the computer cancel out it's own output when processing audio input. Unfortunately Apple does not seem so interested with speech recognition - which is too bad, with their control over hardware and software they could probably put together a machine with a very powerful speech UI.

See. They're not more expensive because of propietary parts of pretty cases. They're more expensive because they get chicks. Geesh. You guys need to look deeper into the computer. Pretty cases and ghz only do so much, but female magnetism?! I'd glady pay twice as much as they're selling for.

Man, if that's all you see you are clearly not in the potential market base. What is it with slashdotters making some weak-ass comparison with every new thing that comes along, saying "That's nothing new - I once heard about something vaguely similar in a pull-it-out-of-my-ass sorta way, so what's the big deal?"
