For years we warded off relentless attacks by a better equipped foe. Many simply defected to the other side and our ranks grew smaller, year by year. Those few who remained loyal to the cause were forced to live in the shadows. Some were driven into denial, and claimed that it didn't matter. Some of us simply hunkered down, waiting for the betters times that we knew lie ahead. And so it was, that we endured for years, waiting for this day to happen.
This day, when Macs could again rightfully claim to be faster than PCs (UPDATE: thanks to an anonymous commenter for pointing to an alternative analysis).

In other news:

• Safari 1.0 is out.
• Apple unveiled a Mac-only video conferencing solution based on iChat and iSight (a webcam + mic + speaker).
• There's a new codec in town called Pixlets (Pixar + Wavelets). This new codec supports 48bits per pixel... and exactly why you need (2^16)^3 colors is beyond me (or maybe it's for other data besides color...).
• And all kinds of other stuff that you can find all over the web.
