When Apple started running the anti-Vista commercial (above) mocking Microsoft for spending $300
million on Vista’s own ad campaign instead of on fixing its problems, I called
it hypocritical:
Apple’s advertising budget is also pretty massive. I mean, I see more Apple commercials
on TV than ads for Barack Obama. Apple is on track to spend more than $3.5 billion on SG&A
(selling, general, and administrative expenses) for its fiscal year that ended September 30. How
much of that was spent on advertising? I don’t know, but 10 percent doesn’t seem
unreasonable.
It turns out that I underestimated Apple’s advertising budget. Lindsay Blakely at Bnet (a former
Business 2.0 reporter) found the actual numbers in a subsequent SEC filing. In its 2008
fiscal year that just ended last September, Apple spent a whopping $486 million on advertising.
(In fiscal year 2007, it spent $467 million, and in fiscal year 2006 it spent $338 million).
Half a billion dollars on marketing. No wonder I think Apple products are so great.

Does anyone here know if mod chips for the Saturn are still available, and are they fairly easy to
install?
I have a unit with the light and the oval buttons.
A few of my discs no longer play thanks to a couple of my younger siblings. I've heard of a swap
trick to play backups, but I also heard that it can be dangerous for the drive.
Could someone here point me in the right direction?

Ian Lesnet sent in a link to his Bus Pirate project, a universal bus adapter that lets you
interface with most standard integrated circuit serial protocols at different voltages - all from
you PC's serial port. The idea is that you can debug, test, and prototype ideas a lot faster if
you don't have to breadboard an interface circuit every time you work with a new chip.
the bus pirate is a serial terminal bridge to multiple ic interface protocols. we type commands
into a serial terminal on the computer. the commands go to the bus pirate through the pc serial
port. the bus pirate talks to a microchip in the proper protocol, and returns the results to the
pc.
all pins output 3.3volts, but are 5volt tolerant. on-board 3.3volt and 5volt power supplies are
available to power the connected chip. software configurable i2c pull-up resistors complete the
package.
the serial terminal interface works with any system: pc, mac, linux, palm pilots, wince devices,
etc; no crapware required. we considered a usb device, but usb isn't compatible with the huge
number of hand-held devices that have a serial port. we also wanted a 3.3volt device with 5volt
tolerant inputs, but most popular through-hole usb microcontollers were 5volt parts (e.g. the
pic18fx550).
The device supports i2c, spi, uart/serial, and raw 2-wire and 3-wire. It looks like a pretty
handy little tool, and Ian has included all the information you need to build one of your own.

Quote: Intel rocked the Solid State Drive market when it launched its MLC-based X25-M SSD a few months ago. The performance was unmatched at
the time, a few SLC devices could keep up on some levels. Intel announced that it was working on an
even faster model that would use Single-level Cell technology for even better performance. This
unit, Intel X25-E, is on the way and the first benchmarks have now been posted and they look
promising. NordiacHardware
Just a reminder that there will be a mini-ceremony and Savage Minds sit-in in the Lobby of the
conference hotel Saturday at 6pm. I’ve been scouring the Fishermans Wharf tourist shops for
quality prizes. In the interest of having some award recipients present (and since the results
aren’t exactly secret), it’s time for a pre-announcement. And the winners are….
