MacTech Assesses Apple's Decision to Discontinue Xserve RAID
MacTech Assesses Apple's Decision to Discontinue Xserve RAID
February 21, 2008
Earlier this week, Apple quietly discontinued the Xserve RAID, Apple's
companion RAID solution to the Xserve. There's been a lot of discussion
about what this all means to Apple's server line, the Mac market that
relies on Apple servers and the future of Apple's server solutions.
We talked to our contacts at Apple and confirmed what our analysis had
already revealed. Apple backed away from the RAID simply because they could
no longer add value in the way that they typically do. And, those resources
were better spent elsewhere.
To understand the future, you have to look back some. When Apple first
shipped the Xserve RAID, there were not a whole lot of options for RAIDs.
The available solutions were for larger installations, and extremely
costly. Apple needed a way to compliment the Xserve, and the Xserve RAID
was the result.
But over the past several years, a number of quality, value solutions have
come to...

KeyCue 4.1 keyboard shortcut cheat sheet now with large-print themes

even more helpful for visually impaired users. The new version also
offers an automatic update checking system, which ensures timely
access to updates for future versions.

users. When you have low vision, using a keyboard shortcut is often
vastly easier than finding an item on a menu, but learning keyboard
shortcuts can be harder than usual. The keyboard shortcuts are printed
*in* the menu items so if you have trouble reading the menu items then
you'll have trouble reading the shortcuts to learn them," said Ricky
Buchanan, founder and operator of ATMac.org. "Now that KeyCue bypasses
that problem by having high-contrast large-font views available,...

Microsoft talks about Xbox and HD DVD
In light of increased discussion around HD DVD, Microsoft made the
following statement about Xbox 360 and the Xbox 360 HD DVD player.
"We do not believe the recent reports about HD DVD will have any material
impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. As
we've long stated, we believe it is games that sell consoles and Xbox 360
continues to have the largest next-gen games library with the most
exclusives and best selling games in the industry. We will wait until we
hear from Toshiba before announcing any specific plans around the Xbox 360
HD DVD player. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition
experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice
to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows
directly to their living room along with playback of the DVD movies they
already own."
